Sandie La Nae Book Signing at the Nevada Historical Society
Carson City Author, Sandie La Nae, has just published her 10th book. The title is “Weird Reno,” and this book was born out of very strange circumstances. Here’s the scoop:
Nevada Historical Society docent, historian and friend, Arline La Ferry, often times posts on her Facebook page unusual articles she discovers while researching the region. Displaying an interesting piece from a January 1911 newspaper article about bones being found in a safety deposit box, La Nae replied to the fascinating story that the two should write a book about strange happenings in Reno. They agreed on the book title, and “the chapters took on a life of their own,” La Nae states on writing them.
La Ferry has explored a plethora of material in her many years of volunteering at the Historical Society. She has accrued numerous facts and editorials spanning Reno’s history from the mid-1800s to today’s date. La Nae says, “Arline has a great ability in studying and examining history, and sharing her findings in our book, readers of “Weird Reno” will learn about this area’s beguiling past, and present, “weirdness’s.”
La Nae has written several books she terms as Historic-Paranormal. The format is a section for or mixture of notable historical accounts and paranormal reports from either Thin Veil Investigations – a paranormal investigative team La Nae is part of - or, from other ghost hunter’s narratives.
Her last volume written in this venue, and published in April of 2014, is about “The Old Genoa Bar.” It was written as a tribute to the bar’s owners, Willy and Cindy Webb, for their guardianship of a Nevada treasure, and to the building for celebrating its 160th anniversary this year (first built when the area was Utah Territory). It was also written in honor of an iconic structure for Nevada commemorating its 150th birthday.
Written in the Historic-Paranormal style, La Nae’s newest published work, “Weird Reno,” is chock full of intriguing news and ghostly descriptions throughout Reno’s history.
A book signing for La Nae’s and La Ferry’s “Weird Reno” is scheduled at the Nevada Historical Society’s “Spirited Nevada” Halloween program, which is slated for the 25th of October. Among the planned events are interesting lectures, one of which La Nae will be speaking on - “Psychic and Paranormal Existence...Living with the Gift and the Ghost,” a topic that communicates La Nae’s psychic gifts and as a paranormal investigator. Sandie’s lecture begins at 11:00 a.m., with book signing after the address.
The Nevada Historical Society is at 1650 N. Virginia Street in Reno. The Spirited Nevada Halloween program will run from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
