Happy Hot August Nights! In Reno, that means many 50s and 60s automobiles roaming our streets day and night for over a week! It’s so cool to see these restored and beautiful cars from decades ago.

I also have some exciting news! No, I haven’t won the lottery, nor has Hollywood optioned any of my books! But I am bravely stepping out and starting a YouTube channel called Sizzlin’ Book Chat. My plan is to interview two authors a month who have a new release out or coming out soon. I say brave because putting my face and voice on a video is totally outside my comfort zone. By the way, I hope it’s no surprise to anyone that my real name is Rene Averett and Lillian Wolfe is my alter-ego!

The first one features author and entrepreneur Kitty Turner on her debut novel, Zone Trip, which is releasing on August 8th. I have read an advanced copy, and I can tell you, this is a sizzlin’ book! The interview premieres tomorrow at 8 am Pacific. So, please drop in to see it and give it a thumbs up if you enjoy it.

You’ll also see a short trailer for Outer Rim that I just completed. Hope you like it.

Silver Age Comic Con!

 

 

 

 

I had a great time at the Silver Age Comic Con in Reno last month. Lots of people came out, many in cosplay and it was a fun event. I sold a few books, quite a few baubles, and chatted with lots of folks.

One fun thing is that I partnered with three other Reno  writers, Jade Griffin, Jacci Turner, and LF Falconer so we had a block of four tables in a row with books, jewelry, and furry things. Across from us, writer Stephen H. Provost had his table set up.  A few more authors were in other areas and I’m thinking it would be great to have all of us in one area! Maybe next year.

The cosplay contest looked fantastic from what I could see from where my table was located. Great costumes!

Coming Up in the next few months

NaNoWriMo comes up in November, so I will be buckling down to start a new novel then. I’m in the pre-planning stage this month. I will also be doing a NaNoWriMo workshop at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno. If you live in the area and are interested, contact TMCC for details.

In addition to that, I’ll be teaching a two-hour class on the Amazon Sales Page and the Amazon Author Page for any Reno area writers or budding writers who  are interested and want to learn more about using these pages effectively.

The third book of Time Threads is in progress and is about 60% done. I’ll be working on it for the next couple of months. I will also be finishing up Sorceress Rising on Vella. I’m currently at 26 episodes and have a few to go to complete that one.

 

 

 

That’s all for this update. Be sure to check out my new video on YouTube and leave a thumbs up if you like it. Also check out my new book and Kitty Turner’s book.

Enjoy these dog days of summer with a good book!
