Busy week here at the World-Wide Headquarters. So busy, if fact, that we didn’t get to today’s chosen topic. We'll do that next week.
We touched on a lot:
We talk about the fun of being fan-owners of the Oakland Ballers, a pro baseball team that proudly represents the East Bay. We flash our Ballers colors! We also talk about our favorite MLB American League team, the Athletics. (I predict where they will ultimately land.)
We donated books to Nevada Talking Book Services, “a free library service for Nevadans who are unable to use standard print materials due to a visual or physical disability.” We were happy to support this very worthy cause.
We are selling books in the Depot Gallery Book Store in Sparks, Nevada, through the Sierra Arts Foundation. That feels fantastic, especially when they sent me my first hardcopy check.
“Two Moore Books LLC” continues to develop, and we spent time on the money aspect of our investment. We are doing an LLC for a feeling of authenticity and legitimacy, but I can’t feel like we’re hemorrhaging money. On the other hand, this is our dream: to be full-time writers, and we don’t own a pair of Harley Davidsons. (We thank Sayyar Lw for guiding us through the process.)
Related to this is me starting a side gig to help writers format the interior of their books using the Atticus application. I’m looking for writers to help me experiment with this, so I'll do a couple of manuscripts for free. If you have a handy manuscript, let’s work together to make it a better ebook or paperback for posting to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, Kobo, and Google. Here’s the link.
Writing: we actually did writing this week! CC is making great progress on her book based in Virginia City, and my books “ZOEY” and “Finding Salvation Part One” are in the final stages of publication. We’ll start releasing these books in the next few weeks (we hope). We thank Red Adept Editing for their patience and support.
Finally, we’re thinking of doing a “Black Friday to Small Business Saturday to Cyber Monday” sale on some of our books. Once we figure out the details, we’ll get it out on social media.
Whew! We told you we were busy. Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA LYL!

Ep 197 of our writer’s podcast for writers is “Weird Reasons We Write.”
Our award-winning podcast lately has been stuck at the end of the writing process, like dealing with the public after we publish books. This week, we do a rewind and go back to the beginning to talk about why we write. Not the main reason, maybe, but the secondary or “secret menu” reasons. They may fascinate you.
We do our usual “current status” segment, and next year is shaping up to be fun for us. We’re creating a business, we’re traveling, and we’re releasing a bunch of books.
CC is posting TikTok’s about our “festering turd of a book.” More details here: https://www.tiktok.com/@cassidycarson45

“Home Means Nevada.” While neither of us are natives, CC’s and my Silver State roots run very deep to the point that between us, we have seven published and in-progress Nevada-centric books.
What literary quality about our home draws us to write about our home? Is it our familiarity with our state’s rich history, landscape, and political structure? We talk about all that and more.
We touch on other subjects, including the Nevada Day Parade, the real Nevada Day, and our podcast award from the last weekend. Spoiler: KOLO8.

What happened to ZOEY? We had a book release schedule that included a calendar with cover reveal, pre-sale, and the actual release date.
Then that all disappeared.
We discuss what happened and give writers a few ideas on how to avoid a similar train wreck. Learn from us (smile).
We also briefly talk about our podcast award from the last weekend.
