I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter

Just random thoughts, today. I'm not feeling well and called in sick at work. I don't think I'm prego (and I hope I'm not) but I also know that anything's possible with God.
There's an interesting discussion about Secular and Christian fiction on the ACRW email discussion loop (American Christian Romance Writers, www.acrw.net). Where do I fit in? I'm not very interested in "sweet" romances, but my current wip(s) are turning out to be too "preachy" to be secular. Will God allow me to be published? Will He allow me to write full-time someday?
I had a good evening last night developing the storyline and characters for my wip. God is so good. The ideas just flowed, despite the fact I wasn't feeling very well. I've almost got a handle on Aiden's story.
I also got an idea to link my first ms THE CORINTHIAN RULES with Aiden's story into a series. Four cousins, all Christians, trying to cope with the stigma of OSFC: Oldest Single Female Cousin. My husband laughed, because no matter where you go, there will be people in any Asian family who will target anyone (male or female) who's single--"When are you going to get a boyfriend? You're not doing your family duty. You're not looking hard enough. Your poor parents."
The agent I'd contacted emailed to tell me that he'd like to represent me. Praise God! At the same time, I'm both excited and scared. I hope this turns out to be a good agent/writer relationship. I had Neal's lawyer uncle look over the sample Agency Agreement the agent emailed to me. I wrote the agent back with two changes Uncle David said I needed in the contract, but at the same time, I felt uncomfortable requesting them. After all, who am I (lowly unpublished peon) to request contract changes from an agent who's done tons of standard contracts?
I also just read "A Brilliant Alliance" by Elizabeth Jackson, an old Signet Regency romance. I wish she'd written more books. The heroine was smart, practical, logical and likeable, the hero's motives and actions were interesting and believable. Her prose is more old-fashioned, a bit similar to Jane Austen rather than the current popular style.
I just made a list on Amazon of Little-known Regency authors, my favorites. It was fun and gratifying to list the older titles that hooked me into Regencies in the first place.
Well, back to writing.
