In Episode 214 of our lovely award-winning podcast, we had another great week with a lot of different moving parts:
You can now find our books on the shelves at Thistle and Nightshade, a wonder little bookstore in Reno, Nevada. Our sincere appreciation to Alyx (pictured) and Rhiannon for adding us to their expansive and varied inventory. You can find Thistle and Nightside in northwest Reno off Mae Anne Avenue. Definitely worth your time!
We announced at the last meeting of the Sierra Arts Literary Community that we are offering our podcast and video services to writers. We're partnering with the Sierra Arts Foundation (SAF) to release a weekly podcast and video featuring a Sierra Nevada writer and their upcoming book. We know from our experience that marketing is a steep climb for independent writers, so we’re hoping our efforts with writers and the SAF will elevate the visibility of Northern Nevada’s excellent writers. We hope to start in May.
Happy birthday to CC’s Dad and Happy Employee Appreciate Day (Friday), and a special hello to International Women’s Day. CC joined 44 other powerful women gathered on the Women’s Podcasting Network to discuss their individual podcasts and respective businesses. CC learned a lot about how women around the road are making a difference in the world (like her!).
We participated in the Smashwords “25% off ebook sale” (our books always seem to be on sale), and we began the registration process for this year’s Carson Farmers Market. And somehow we managed to advance our writing projects. CC is still untying the Gordian knot that is her VC Ghost romance, and I passed 40K words on the third book of the “Sheriff in Nevada” series.
We rejiggered our production schedule because the CFO for Two Moore Books, LLC (who is me) got grouchy about business expenditures. The upside for you, our fans, is our book release schedule extends into 2026 now.
Whew.
We managed to get to the main topic of today’s podcast: reviews, reviews, reviews. They’re almost as important as the books, and they are essential to a writer’s success, whether they are mainstream or independent writers. We talked about the impact and necessity of reviews, and we outlined the two Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) websites we checked out: Book Sirens and Net Galley. We also begged our readers to leave reviews because feedback makes us better human beings and better writers.
Is that all? Is that enough? (Grin) I think so.
One last thing: please buy direct from us and help support the arts (and a couple of starving writers :))
Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA! LYL!
