Rene Averett blogs regularly on her Skinny Girl Bistro site where she shares information about low carb foods, living a low carb lifestyle and many recipes. She lost 150 pounds in 2010 using the Atkins Diet and is sharing her weight loss recipes via her low carb cookbooks. 

Rene hails from El Paso, Texas a good many years ago. She has lived in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and has made her home in Reno, Nevada since 1977. The latter part of her career centered on doing technical writing for a large gaming manufacturer and she enjoyed it right up until her retirement. She is now pursuing a career as an author and e-book publisher under Pynhavyn Press. She is a proud member of the Fiction Writers Group and the High Sierra Writers.

She is inspired by the view of both the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Virginia City Foothills from her house in South Reno that she shares with her long time companion, a dog, and three cats. In addition to cooking, she attempts a bit of gardening, plays the guitar and sings, and loves to read. She writes fantasy, urban fantasy, and paranormal suspense novels as Lillian I. Wolfe and suspense romance under Riona Kelly.
