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

Prayer Line update
Remember I asked my youth pastor about that Prayer Line website?
Q: My question is: Does it hurt to have someone not a Christian praying for you? I mean, if I have a Muslim praying to Allah for my knee, is that bad?
A: Camy, it never hurts for someone to raise a prayer to God for someone, but a Christian must always remember that any healing comes from Jesus Christ. Sometimes, people get deceived and feel that they receive healing from a source other than Jesus (when the healing is supposedly miraculous).
Camy here:
I think I'll personally stick to asking close friends and my church family to pray for me. But I am also hoping to participate on this prayer site so that not only can I pray for others, but maybe Jesus can reach some of them, too.
First Novel Journey:
Gina Holmes interviews Jill Nelson tomorrow!
Writing: I applied to teach two different Late Night Chats at the 2006 ACFW Conference in Dallas.
"The Story Sensei: Doctor Your Own Story Structure" will teach the common mistakes I've seen as a contest judge and in my critique service, and then I will do on-the-spot high-level structural critiques of as many 2-page synopses as I can in the time allowed.
"Write Time: Working Full Time and Writing" will be all the tips and tricks I learned and researched while doing biology work and writing. It'll include some of the things I've written about in my WordPraize column, "Write Time."
I hope they get approved. But I also know that if they don't, it's just God's will, and I'm cool with that.
I also sliced and diced Robin's 4-page synopsis down to 2 pages. Woohoo! I'm goooooood. And humble, to boot. ;)
I was talking with Robin today and wondering where my true voice lies. I enjoy both suspense and chicklit, but I want to brand myself in one genre. Robin, you're reading my suspense now--I'm sending you my chicklit so you can compare. Who of all y'alls have read both my suspense and my chicklit? What do you guys think?

Of course, there's no law that says you can't corner the market on "Asian Chick Lit Thrillers". :D
