Meet the Author – Steve Tindall

Date & Time: Friday, January 19th, 2024, 4pm – 7pm
Location: Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue


We’re thrilled to announce an exclusive opportunity for book enthusiasts and aspiring writers alike! Join us on January 19th at Studio Moonfall for a special ‘Meet the Author’ event featuring the remarkable Steve Tindall.

Steve, a versatile author known for his work in military and children’s literature, will be sharing insights from his latest book, “My Life As A Giant.” This heartwarming tale explores the journey of a young boy who grows into a towering figure amongst his peers. It’s a story of adaptation, usefulness, and earning respect, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of being different. Plus, who doesn’t love a gentle giant always ready to assist those struggling to reach the top shelf?

This event offers a rare chance to dive into Steve’s creative process, understand his inspirations, and get a firsthand look at the making of a story that promises to capture the hearts of both young and old.

But there’s more to Steve Tindall than his literary prowess. Hailing from the small town of Amboy, NY, Steve’s life journey took him from high school to the U.S. Navy, where he honed his skills in electronics and security. His naval experience, including time spent on destroyers and instructing at the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, IL, has undoubtedly enriched his narrative voice. Post-Navy, Steve ventured into the data networking field, contributing articles to various publications and even editing a satirical monthly newsletter.

Now retired since April Fools Day, 2016, Steve dedicates his time to improving veterans’ lives and educating the public about military history.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Steve Tindall in person, explore “My Life As A Giant,” and maybe even get your copy signed! For a sneak peek at the book, visit here.

See you at Studio Moonfall on January 19th โ€“ a perfect way to kickstart your weekend with inspiration and new connections!

Hang out at the shop and take a peek inside their book, Wolf Healer:

A young shifter excited to take her place in the pack. A savage attack that could destroy her future.

Jade Stone cherishes her family. With loving parents and a supportive community, the fifteen-year-old queer soon-to-be-werewolf canโ€™t wait to take her place in the pack as a healer. But when sheโ€™s invited to vacation in Florida, she discovers the shocking existence of werepanthersโ€ฆ after one bites her.

Returning to her native Wisconsin with feline blood coursing through her, Jade is confused and disappointed when former packmates shun her. As she navigates a brand of bigotry she never knew existed, Jade fears she may be exiled from the home and family she loves.

Ostracized and alone, will Jade find a place she belongs?

Wolf Healer is a book for anyone who enjoys urban fantasy books with werewolves, strong female leads, and unexpected twists and turns. Itโ€™s a book anyone and everyone can enjoy.

Buy Wolf Healer today and prowl with new friends as they navigate wereanimals, life paths they never expected, and of course, school.

Huckleberry Rahr is a mathematics instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She spent many years teaching math around the Midwest and in Papua New Guinea with the Peace Corps. Her parents instilled a love of reading from a young age.

She grew up with lesbian moms who had a huge collection of women authors with heroines as the protagonist. Her favorite genre was fantasy and science fiction, that is, until she discovered urban fantasy. What her momโ€™s library lacked were books with characters that looked like her family: diversity in background, gender identity, and sexuality. She decided if she couldnโ€™t find that series, then she would write it.

See you from 4pm to 7pm on Friday, January 12th, 2024 at Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue, with Huckleberry Rahr!
