My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

Blog book giveaway:
My Thursday book giveaway is LIFE INTERRUPTED by Tricia Goyer.
My Monday book giveaway is EVERYTHING’S COMING UP JOSEY by Susan May Warren.
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for LIFE INTERRUPTED and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.
CamySpace: Okay, let me first say, I haven’t heard the bad hype about MySpace. But so far, I’ve kind of liked the online community. Here’s my MySpace profile:
http://www.myspace.com/camytang
I admit that the first few months I had tons of “friend requests” from these weirdo guys who wanted to be added to my friends list. We’re talking major ick. But after a few months, those requests have died down to almost nothing.
Now, most of the friend requests I get are from people who actually do want to network. I have to be careful—some of the bands who request to be on my friends list have lyrics that I wouldn’t want the kids at church to hear if they clicked on their MySpace site, so I don’t add them. But there are a bunch of Christian indie bands, which is pretty cool.
I’ve also met a bunch of Christians. What’s neat is I’ve connected with some Asian Americans, both Christian and non-believers. They might actually buy my book when it comes out.
I’ve taken the plunge and started a MySpace ACFW group:
http://groups.myspace.com/ACFW
I’ve invited a bunch of people from my friends list, although I’m not sure if some people are ACFW members or not, because often profiles don’t have last names. If you are and I didn’t invite you, I apologize—go to the group link and join!

I'm glad My Space has been a good experience for you. I'm hoping it's getting cleaned up now after all the problems. Loved your piece below about Susie. She's a beautiful lady!
Did she not invite me on purpose?
Is she trying to tell me something...
Well, I don't know if I will...
Humph..
Oh, alright, I will then.
;0))
I'm just now starting to be on MySpace more...I'd taken a lengthy hiatus when I started blogging primarily from my Xanga site. And I was tired of the weirdo messages and invites I was getting (that's why there's a movie poster as my profile pic there!). It can be an excellent networking tool. There are a TON of whackos out there, but that site has so much potential for good that I think it's important that Christians make their presence felt!
