Author Renee Kumor has added three new books to her popular series of the River Bend Chronicles.  A book-signing and discussion will be hosted on Thursday, October 7, at 5:30 p.m. at The Brandy Bar, 504 7^th Avenue East in Hendersonville to bring fans and new readers up to date.  A fourth title may, in fact, be published by early October, Kumor said, and possibly a new publisher will be taking over.  This and other breaking news will be shared at the event.

  Kumor will read excerpts from her new titles, will have books available for purchase, and will sign books upon request. The event is open to the public at no charge.  Attendees are invited to support the local small-business venue by purchasing beverages and snacks during the evening.

All the stories in the River Bend Chronicles take place in the fictional small-town community of River Bend, a place not very different from the small town where Kumor has lived for 40 years.  Since her last book-signing event, for Girlfight in 2019, three new volumes have been added to her list of Cozy mysteries:  Decorating for Death, Where is She Now? and Broken Hearts, Broken Promises. These are the titles that Kumor will discuss at the book-signing on October 7.

Kumor’s on-going saga in her 17-volume River Bend Chronicles includes whodunit mysteries and, frequently, passionate alliances, all within the circumspect world of nonprofit organizations.  Described in the trade as Cozy mysteries, also referred to as “cozies,” Kumor’s style is in a subgenre of crime fiction often described as “gentle” crime novels.  Those who haven’t yet been introduced to her unique storyline will be rewarded at the upcoming event with her insights and personal reflections of how she comes up with her cast of characters and situations.

Kumor’s publisher is Absolutely Amazing eBooks.  Her books are available through independent bookstores, and online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other outlets in hard copy, paperback, and e-book versions.  Henderson County Library also carries Kumor’s books.  Visit www.reneekumor.com for more information.
