My grandfather, Edward Austin Reno was the son of Edward Munn Reno,
Dean of American Magicians, a pioneer in the entertainment field of
Illusions. Edward Austin Reno took his big top tent theater along
the Circuit Chautauqua and rural Redpath route. His daughter, my
mother, gave birth to me while they entertained a week in each town
offering stage plays, comedy routines and of course, Ed Reno's
magic act. Reno's Funmakers had a history in show business. It was
what they did. It was all they knew. It was a life they loved with
all their hearts. The Great Depression coupled with WW2 finally
brought the family off the road. They always planned to return once
the war ended. Like so many plans we make ourselves, theirs didn't
materialize. I grew up in the midst of their disappointment, thus
the book. My career took a different path. First college, majoring
in business, chemistry and art. (my medium being oils). Followed by
management positions and later, with a partner, forming my own
manufacturing company called Pilot Industrial Battery. After
selling the company I consulted to the battery industry until
retiring here in Florida. I'v always been interested in writing.
But, mostly as a guest columnist in newspapers and technical
articles. Reno's Funmakers is my first novel. My second is
currently being worked on.
