Description

Hello from the Worldwide Headquarters of <a href="https://www.twomoorebooks.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Two Moore Books, LLC</a>, and we are busy, which is the topic of today's podcast.CC and I have been on the "independent writing hamster wheel" since long before we retired. We'd work, we write, we sleep, and we do it all over again. Many of you do the same, grabbing a few precious minutes of time here and there to produce books, blogs, and stories. Like us, you may have a thriving writing business to support your creative endeavors.The problem: we don't know how to stop the hamster wheel. We don't know how to hop off. Do you have any ideas? We'd love to hear your thoughts.We erroneously called it the "Best of Carson" in the podcast when the real name is "Carson City Local Favorites 2026." <a href="https://www.carsonnow.org/local-favorites" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">We would appreciate your vote</a>.If you'd like to see us: - On March 17, we'll be at Comma Coffee in the morning to release "<a href="https://carsonhume.com/2026/02/22/kiss/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Finding Salvation.</a>" It is on the major platforms and <a href="https://carsonhume.square.site/product/finding-salvation-three-novellas-in-one-book/B7R6EBFYFX6GJAMUOOAYND5Z?" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">on our website right now</a>. - On April 4, we will be at the <a href="https://www.carsonnow.org/03/05/2026/pumpkin-pioneers-and-tall-tales-easter-egg-hunt-coming-april-4-to-carson-city" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Pumpkin, Pioneers, and Tall Tales Easter Egg Hunt</a> in the Pete Livermore Sports Complex in south Carson City. - On April 11, we got back to the Nevada State Museum for the spring literary event. - In June, we'll be joining our Northern Nevada writing colleagues at the <a href="https://sierraarts.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sierra Arts Foundation</a> Bookfest.Works in Progress: - CC's "Restless Spirits Book 2" (working title) is at the editors and she's hunkering down on "Restless Spirits Book 3." - CC is planning a Young Adult book release for "Battle Born Bride" on October 31. - As said above, "Finding Salvation" will be released on March 17, and the next book set in the same universe will be released in July. - I have temporarily shelved the fourth "Sheriff in Nevada" manuscript for reasons explained in the podcast.That's all for now.
