SUMMARY:David Ferraro\, author of The Alchemy of Moonlight\, at Blue House Books
DESCRIPTION:David Ferraro\, author of “The Alchemy of Moonlight\,” is coming to Blue House Books! \nWe are THRILLED to have David here to chat with excited readers about his debut novel and sign books! Our customers have been LOVING “The Alchemy of Moonlight”\, a queer gothic romance\, in which a young marquis caught between freedom and passion\, honor and love will have to unravel a centuries-old curse to find his own happy ending. \nBe sure to order your copy in advance! Learn more about David and his new novel below. \nAbout the author \nDavid Ferraro grew up in Brooklyn Park\, Minnesota\, where he was raised on a steady diet of comic books\, horror movies and YA novels. He graduated with a B.A. in English and creative writing from St. Cloud State University\, and currently resides in the outskirts of Milwaukee\, Wisconsin with his partner and a very spoiled tortoise. “The Alchemy of Moonlight” is his debut novel. \nAbout the Book \nTrapped in a world of straight expectations\, queer marquis Emile longs for independence. So\, when his aunt declares he must marry to produce an heir or be disowned\, he runs away disguised as a servant until he can come of age and reclaim his inheritance. \nAll Emile needs to do is keep his head down and bide his time\, but he quickly stumbles into a mystery beyond his imagination. While working in the service of the intimidating Count Montoni and his family\, Emile learns that they suffer from a strange affliction every full moon\, which requires full sedation. And when he discovers a mangled corpse on the estate the same night as suspicious family arguments break out\, he reports it. But Emile cannot guess what lengths Count Montoni is willing to go to to keep his family’s secrets safe. As Emile becomes more entangled in the household and its paranormal origins\, his inquiries draw the attention of the handsome doctor\, Bram\, and the count’s charismatic nephew\, Henri. \nBut how can Emile earn the esteem of the earnest doctor\, while keeping his own identity and desires a secret? And how can he trust—let alone love—Henri\, a man as mercurial as the ever-changing moon? To find the love he deserves and survive the Montoni family\, Emile will have to risk his title as well as his life.

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Daniel Stika
DESCRIPTION:Local author and veteran Daniel Stika will be at Blue House Books on Saturday\, June 17th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with his two local history books! \nAbout the Books \n“When Lincoln Met Wisconsin’s Nightingale”: Join author Daniel L. Stika as he examines the work of Wisconsin’s Nightingale\, Cordelia Harvey. As a tireless campaigner for improved medical care for Civil War soldiers\, Harvey inspects battlefield hospitals and takes her reports of squalor and death all the way to the White House. Throughout the course of several meetings with President Abraham Lincoln\, Harvey advocates for the construction of hospitals with the sole purpose of caring for the men who are fighting and dying for their country. \n“The Rhode Center for the Arts: Looking Back & Looking Ahead”: This book gives the reader a sequential overview of what “Entertainment Palaces” existed on the (Market Street – 56th street) property from 1890 to the present. The design and architecture of a theater can bring an audience to another period of time\, when men wore tuxedos and women wore gowns to the theater. \nAbout the Author \n“As a civic-minded citizen\, I think that we should all try to give something back to our communities. One of my main interests is in people. I enjoy being involved and helping whenever and wherever I can. My motto is that you will never outgrow your need for people and knowledge. Life itself is a lifelong learning process. When we stop learning\, we stop living. I retired from active employment\, not from active enjoyment.” –Daniel Stika\, local author

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Ruben Williams
DESCRIPTION:Author Ruben Williams is returning to his hometown to celebrate the release of his debut novel “Northern Lights\,” a young adult coming-of-age story about an African American teenager who is trying to manage life as a foster child living in a bad neighborhood while attending a private high school. “Northern Lights” captures the depth of the traumas that young people suffer through everyday\, and takes you on a journey that can be felt through each word while the spirit of empathy\, defeat\, triumph\, and joy is felt throughout the story. \nAbout the Author \nThe love for writing has always been my heart. I love to create from blank canvases to bring to life the ideas that come to me. My flowetic (flowing and poetic) style grips the readers into a place where they can escape from reality and experience the creation. I started writing when I was in middle school. I used writing to go into a place where I was free to express my mind through creativity. It is my endeavor to expand my writing portfolio so readers all over the world can share an unforgettable literary experience. Being a Kenosha native for 29 years\, I moved to Dallas\, Texas to embark on a journey that is unfolding right before my eyes. I am the father of 3 beautiful children Ariana (12)\, Linnea (7) and Ruben Jr. (4) and husband of the wonderful Dr. Chyanne Williams. –Ruben Wiliams\, author \nAbout the book \nJames’ need to escape from home has reached its breaking point. Physically\, he couldn’t go far\, but his imagination allowed him to travel miles away. He escapes through every stroke of the pen into his notebook. His writing gives him the ability to be an escape artist. In his every changing life\, one day he’s being abused and the next day he’s caring for his abuser. Change can happen in the snap of a finger or a slip of a word. \nVying for a position in life that seems normal\, James’ trajectory for life becomes unstable. South Shore is taking a trip to the Northern Lights and he is trying to figure his life out. He battles acceptance\, anxiety\, and depression on his way to discovering who he really is. The constant battle between cloudy skies and clear vision taints James’ mindset as he navigates through life as an African American teenager in Wisconsin. Juggling a myriad of emotions\, he must figure out where he belongs en route to Alaska. Loyalty is tested\, love is stretched\, and forgiveness is a mystery as he is challenged within his own consciousness. \nPre-order your copy from Blue House Books and get it signed by the author himself on June 3rd!

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Local Author Harry Pinkus
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to have Milwaukee-based author Harry Pinkus at Blue House Books for a Meet & Greet event on Saturday\, May 27th! From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, stop by Blue House Books to chat with Harry about his latest release “Human Collateral” and have it signed! \nAbout the book: “Human Collateral” is an intriguing good versus evil story where a private investigator and the FBI team up to bring down an unscrupulous mob that preys on people’s financial misfortunes. \nPrivate Detective Miles Darien is hired by Cora Sims to find her missing daughter Olivia\, who has been living alone in Chicago. \nMiles enlists his best friend\, investigative journalist Ryan Duffy\, to assist in the search. Mrs. Sims has no idea where her daughter works or how she makes a living. First\, they must uncover the clues which will lead them to her workplace\, hoping to connect with someone who can take them to Olivia. \nWhen they find Olivia\, she’s barely alive as a result of an infection after having a kidney surgically removed. Turns out the kidney was payment for an illegal loan given by criminals who prey on people in dire financial trouble by forcing them to use their bodies as collateral. \nAbout the author: Harry’s passion for writing was ignited at the University of Wisconsin where he studied journalism and wrote for the campus newspaper\, “The Daily Cardinal.” After many years as a partner in a marketing firm\, Harry formed a consultancy to focus on writing for business publications\, creating marketing content and materials for both digital and print media. \nAfter so many years writing content for his clients\, Harry finally decided to write something for himself. His first novel\, “The Kingmaker’s Redemption”\, allowed Harry to creatively express my point of view through storytelling. His next book\, “Human Collateral”\, is the first in the Miles Darien Detective series. The next installment of the thriller series\, “Justified Malice”\, will be out in the fall of 2023. \nHarry and his wife Jackie live in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin.
