Coming April 2020, Outbound Train: A Bryson City Novel. Set in 1976
Renea Winchester’s storytelling is as real and authentically Southern as the clear water music of an Appalachian creek and the song of Cicadas on a front porch summer evening.

Emerging Authors and those considering self-publication should strongly consider downloading a copy of Stress-Free Marketing: Practical Advice for the Newly Published Author. This book is a result of observing numerous authors who chose self-publishing but didn’t consider how they would market their book and place a finished product in the hands of readers. Renea traveled across the south leading workshops to emerging authors and held countless workshops at bookstores and book festivals teaching emerging authors the importance of developing a marketing plan and the business side of the writing life.

Hi Renea, I received the book for Christmas last year. I loved the book so much that I have used it twice in my English Prep classes. I read a chapter from the book and give them a writing prompt based on what I read. They have learned a lot from the book. Thank you for such a motivational book.
Just finished the first chapter of “Farming, Friends, and Fried Bologna Sandwiches”….and I am in love with this book! A book must capture me very quickly…or I will not continue to read it. And this book does that for me! I do not have the wonder ability that Renea has to put on paper such wonderful, personal accounts. She has a rare gift. I am honored to say “I call her friend”. Can’t wait to finish the book.
