SUMMARY:Annelise Ryan in Kenosha for the release of DEATH IN THE DARK WOODS
DESCRIPTION:Cryptozoologist Morgan Carter and her dog Newt are back for another adventure in the newest instalment of the Monster Hunter Mystery Series\, and author Annelise Ryan is celebrating with us in Kenosha! Join us on Tuesday\, December 12th as we help launch “Death in the Dark Woods” with the author herself and fellow cozy mystery author Erica Ruth Neubauer at 7 p.m. at Blue House Books in Downtown Kenosha. \nWe’re excited for what is sure to be a wildly entertaining discussion about murder and mythical creatures. Both authors will be available for questions from the audience and for book signings and photos! \nABOUT THE BOOK \nA potential Bigfoot sighting is linked to a vicious murder\, but skeptical cryptozoologist Morgan Carter is on the case in this new Monster Hunter Mystery by USA Today bestselling author Annelise Ryan. \nBusiness has been booming since Morgan Carter solved the case of the monster living in Lake Michigan. The Odds and Ends bookstore is thriving\, of course\, but Morgan is most excited by the doors that were opened for her as a cryptid hunter. Recently\, there have been numerous sightings of a Bigfoot-type creature in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest area of Bayfield County\, Wisconsin. After a man is found dead from a vicious throat injury in the forest\, the conservation warden asks Morgan to investigate. \nWhen Morgan and her dog\, Newt\, go there to investigate\, they uncover a trail of lies\, deception\, and murder. It seems a mysterious creature is indeed living in the forest\, and Morgan might be its next target. \nABOUT ANNELISE RYAN \nAnnelise Ryan is a pseudonym for the author of the new Monster Hunter Mystery series\, the first of which\, A DEATH IN DOOR COUNTY\, was released in September 2022. The second book in the series\, DEATH IN THE DARK WOODS\, is scheduled for release in December of 2023. \nAnnelise also penned the rib-tickling12- book Mattie Winston Mystery series featuring the adventures of a wryly cynical nurse-turned-coroner in a small Wisconsin town and the spin-off Helping Hands Mysteries. \nAs Allyson K. Abbott\, she authored a 6-book series known as the Mack’s Bar Mysteries (a bit of cheeky fun there with the initials on that nom de plume!) \nAnd as Beth Amos\, she has written more than 200 published articles\, worked as a book reviewer for Barnes & Noble\, and written five thrillers\, three of which were published by HarperCollins in the late ’90s. She is an active member of Mystery Writers of America\, Sisters in Crime\, and International Thriller Writers. She is a registered nurse whose past work experience has included everything from birth (obstetrics) to death (hospice). She recently retired after spending her last 20 years working in the ER and she is now enjoying several side hobbies\, including competitive Scrabble\, working with stained glass\, and gardening. \nABOUT ERICA RUTH NEUBAUER \nErica Ruth Neubauer spent eleven years in the military\, two years as a cop and one year as a high school English teacher before finding her way as a writer. She has reviewed mysteries and crime fiction for several years at publications such as Publishers Weekly\, the Los Angeles Review of Books and Mystery Scene Magazine and is a member of both Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime. When she’s not writing her next novel or curled up with a book\, she enjoys traveling\, yoga and craft beer. She lives in Milwaukee\, WI with her husband.

SUMMARY:HOLY AMERICAN BURNOUT: Reading & Book Signing with Sean Enfield
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about the great American condition: burnout. \nLocal author Sean Enfield will be at Kenosha Creative Space on Wednesday\, December 13th from 7 to 9 p.m. to talk about his newly-published collection of essays “Holy American Burnout!\,” which weaves personal essay and cultural critique into the historical fabric of Black and bi-racial identity. \nJoining Sean are three other writers who will be sharing their own personal and cultural commentary through poetry\, essays\, and narrative stories. This event will be particularly relevant to teachers and students\, as Sean analyzes this growing trend of working to burnout through classroom narratives and his experiences as a teacher. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nSean Enfield delves into the great American condition: burnout. \nThreading his experiences both as a Texan student and later as a first-year teacher of predominately Muslim students at a Texas middle school\, Holy American Burnout! weaves personal essay and cultural critique into the historical fabric of Black and bi-racial identity. \nEnfield intersects examinations of which voices are granted legitimacy by virtue of school curriculum\, the complex relationship between basketball and education for Black and brown students\, his students’ burgeoning political consciousness during the 2016 presidential campaign\, and cultural figures ranging from Kendrick Lamar to Hamlet. \nThese classroom narratives weave around Enfield’s own formative experiences contending with a conflicted bi-racial family lineage\, reenacting the Middle Passage as the only Black student in his 7th grade history class\, and moshing in both Christian and secular hardcore pits. \nAs Enfield wrestles with the physical\, mental\, and emotional burdens that American society places on educators\, students\, and all relatively conscious minorities in this country\, he reaches for an education that better navigates our burnt-out empire. \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nSean Enfield is an essayist\, poet\, gardener\, bassist\, and educator from Dallas\, TX. His writing attempts to find connection through music and words as reclamation of labor as community care and as resistance to the many forces of white supremacy working against marginalized bodies. You can find his work at seanenfield.com. \nLorna Pecard is a neurodivergent poet and essayist from Milwaukee. She received her MFA from Minnesota State University\, Mankato. You can find her reading in the sunroom or curled up somewhere. \nAngela Voras-Hills’s first collection of poems\, Louder Birds (Pleiades 2020)\, was awarded the Lena-Miles Wever Todd Poetry Prize. Her poetry and prose have appeared in Kenyon Review\, American Poetry Review\, Prairie Schooner\, Best New Poets\, and New Ohio Review\, among other journals and anthologies. She has received support from The Sustainable Arts Foundation\, Key West Literary Seminar\, and Writers’ Room of Boston. She lives with her family in Milwaukee\, WI\, where she is a PhD Student at UW-Milwaukee. \nAntonio Vargas-Nieto is a Mexican born writer\, teaching artist\, and emulsion enthusiast. He is a 2022-2023 Poetry Coalition Fellow and has been featured in Spectra\, Moody\, and Silver Operation. Antonio is based in Milwaukee\, WI.
