While raising bunnies, chickens, ducks, and goats, and growing apples, cherries, pears, and plums, Wisconsin hobby farmer and host of Booked Eau Claire Chelsea Jean still made time to publish fan-fave novel A Minor Inconvenience, about a steamy workplace romance. (Psst, keep your eyes peeled for the sequel, out this fall!) After losing his father-in-law to cancer, professor and author B.J. Hollars explores how to make the most of the time we have in his poignant and heartfelt book Year of Plenty: A Family’s Season of Grief. Eau Claire-based board game designer, musician, and writer James Peters doesn’t fall short with his third book, Fortune Falls, which details the fragility of human existence set against American suburbia. —Rebecca Mennecke
