Argent Glass Analysis
Richelle Renae
In 2017, Richelle Renae, age 48, finally made up her mind. She sat in front of her computer and put actions behind her dreams and not long after, she emerged as an author. In four short months; she wrote, edited, formatted, created book covers and published four books. That’s quite impressive for the soccer mom who’s perfecting a full-length novel she titled, Argent Glass.
Renae’s published works are in a Read Write Ponder short story collection. The assemblage of books are not the normal fiction stories; they have a unique purpose. She explains, “Each book includes a short story, discussion questions, and plot devices for creative writing tasks. My goal is to turn 9 or 10 of these books into a workbook and develop a creative …show more content…
The books are available on Amazon for only .99¢ and can be purchased with one click on any image below. Renae offers her books for free on Smashwords and they can also be found on all the other popular platforms including iTunes, Nook, Kobo, and more.
Interviewer: Give us an insight into the main character of your latest book. What does he/she do, that is so special?
Renae: My latest published story is a tragic short story called Sheltered Hope. The main character is a young boy who takes a stand against his father to rescue an abandoned puppy that he names Hope. Hope wriggles her way into the family and shows us that even the hardest heart can't resist the love of a pet.
Currently, Renae is working on a YA story called Shakespeare in the Woods that has a gritty murder mystery plot. “The main character is a tomboy named Rae, who climbs trees and is experiencing those feelings of love for a boy for the first time. She's fallen hard for the star quarterback after hearing him read poetry to his deceased twin under her favorite tree in the …show more content…
Someday finally came when I edited a friend's novel and then watched her take it all the way to publication. Alexandria Sure invited me to join her and sign up for NaNoWriMo in November 2015 and that got me 50,000 words closer to the completion of my first novel.”
Renae has spent the last 20 years as the creative brain behind her company’s intranets and internal software. That’s how she pays the bills. However, she’s constructed a two-lane highway to get to her destination and her writing is in a lane of its own. With a full-time job, Richelle can only dedicate part-time hours to write. She said her favorite time to fully commit to creativity is on Saturday mornings when her family is usually still in bed. “I can get more done in three hours on a Saturday morning than I can at any other time of the week, so I try to take advantage of that.”
With four sons, whose ages range from 10 to 21, the owner of 2 big dogs, the role of wife to her husband, and an IT career dominating most of her time, Renae has learned to improvise. To continue growing her writing career, she uses the leftover hours from her busy day to build her social media presence and take writing
