[KENOSHA, WISCONSIN] — Blue House Books invites readers to a thrilling evening of historical fantasy as debut author Morgan Ryan visits the store for a special in-conversation event with local fantasy favorite Greta Kelly! On Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, from 7 to 9 p.m., guests will experience a lively discussion about Ryan’s spellbinding debut novel, A Resistance of Witches.
Set against the backdrop of World War II, A Resistance of Witches follows a young witch on a high-stakes quest to prevent a powerful magical book from falling into the hands of Hitler’s witches. Hailed as “a witchy war-time delight” by New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn, the novel blends history, magic, and emotion into a fast-paced, summer-perfect read.
“At Blue House Books, we love to support debut authors who bring fresh perspectives and stories to our community,” said Casey Larsen, manager at Blue House Books. “Morgan Ryan’s novel is an exciting addition to the genre, and we’re thrilled to host her for this special event.”
Morgan Ryan’s visit to Kenosha marks an exciting opportunity for readers to connect with a rising voice in the historical fantasy genre. Greta Kelly, the beloved Wisconsin author of the Warrior Witch Duology, will be interviewing the Chicago-based author about her inspiration for the story, her writing process, and more! There will also be time for a Q&A with the audience, and book signing.
