Connor
Founder
SHE/THEY
Connor is an avid reader of fantasy and monster romance. An author herself, she loves the written word almost as much as she loves her wife, August. She graduated with a BA in English from the University of Central Florida. Her greatest passions are self-expression and small business, and a lifelong goal has been to open a bookstore. When she’s not working on Moonstruck, she’s writing, reading, or getting scratched by her cat.

August
Co-founder
SHE/THEY
As a local to this area and a lifelong book lover, August has had the dream to find a welcoming space for everyone, somewhere she could connect with others who share her love of reading romantasy and queer stories. Little did she know that someday, she would be lucky enough to find someone who has that same vision of creating that place for their community. August is a hairstylist in the Eau Gallie Arts District, and finds the most joy in connecting with others.
