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 WEB OF LIES by Brandilyn Collins.
My Monday book giveaway is SECRETS OF THE ROSE by Lois Richer.
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for WEB OF LIES and post the title for another book I'm giving away.
I’m back! I just got back from RWA National conference. I’ll blog about it this week.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Camy’s blog...

Ha, I'm the same way with my free time! The more I have, the less self-disciplined I become. I think it's the procrastinator in me!
I agree about the bugs...especially the ones here in North Carolina. You've never seen bugs THIS big! YUCK!
And you'd make a great mom! Low tolerance for tantrums actually helps kids more than you think!
LOL: things not understood "why I eat right and exercise and still don't lose weight"!!
ROFL: things you can't do "anything that involves strapping something to my feet and making my body go faster than I can walk"
*snort, gafaw* Funny!
