Lady Wynwood #7 early release Kickstarter

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

Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.22.2006

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request or email me.

I’m getting paranoid I’m forgetting somebody. If you don’t see yourself and you want to, email me or leave a comment. I never promised I had a better memory than a goldfish. “Oh! I have a castle!”

Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays. I've got a couple fly-by prayer requests and a growing list.

Father, thank you for being God, for being holy and forgiving at the same time.

Thank you for working powerfully at Wintervision youth retreat last weekend. Be with each of the kids and help them to learn and grown from what you showed them. Help them to stand strong in the face of spiritual warfare and deepen their relationships with you.

Father, please help Sharon to get her manuscript done on time. Protect her from distractions and help her to work efficiently, diligently and joyfully.

Please give Charise clarity and direction for a new job. Please help her to know your will.

Thank you for Amber's miraculous recovery so far, Lord. Please continue to heal her.

Please heal Squirl from her hip pain. Give wisdom to the doctors and cover her with your mighty power.

Help Pammer to fight the spiritual warfare deceiving her into thinking her writing will not serve you. Give her your affirmation and direction for her writing. Help her to break through and move forward.

Lord, please heal Heather from this lingering fever and illness. Give her wisdom about what she should do, and touch her with your power. Please also give her strength to fight the spiritual warfare making her feel directionless. Help her to listen for, know, and believe your truth.

Be with Dineen and give her guidance for her writing in all areas. Shadow her as she writes MR and help her tell the story you want her to tell.

Cover Robin with your peace and help her to know your will for her. Motivate her to keep pushing and guide her as she goes through her rewrites so that her work is all for you.

I pray Ronie's husband passes all his tests. Please give her strength for everything she needs to do, and guidance for her story. Open doors for her, Lord.

Help Ron to survive his hormonal crit partners. ;)

Give Gina the right agent and be walking with her as she writes.

I lift up Crystal to you and ask you to give her the affirmation she needs from you. Guide her in her writing.

I pray for a whole lotta healing for Mir--touch her body, Lord, and give wisdom to her doctors. Help her to persevere in her writing. Let her be your light to her family.

Continue to touch Paula with your daily grace and wisdom.

Please give Megan wisdom about her job. Help her to know which is the best decision for her. Continue to help her to write for you.

I pray you give wisdom to the doctors and that you will carry Lori through possible surgery.

Be with Donna as she writes and help her to rest in you.

Please continue to help Gail heal smoothly from surgery, and help Brenda through chemotherapy.

Be with Heather G. at school and help her to find a closer relationship with you through some new friends.

Thank you for helping Malia with her class schedule. Please heal her body and help her to keep up with her studies.

Give Yim wisdom and guidance in her writing, career, and life direction.

Continue to be with Angie P. and help her to be at peace despite the busy season coming up and everything happening. Be with Pattie, Lord--I pray you will heal her from her cancer.

Be with Audra these last weeks before her new baby. Help her get everything ready and I pray everything goes smoothly.

Continue to be with Margo and her Bible study. Help her to hear your voice. I pray your spirit moves through the women in her study softly, gently and powerfully.

Please be with Kelly and give wisdom her doctors as they discuss medications.

Give Lynette inspiration, motivation and creativity as she races toward her deadline.

I pray you will help Tiff transition smoothly into her new job. Thank you for all the writing opps you've given her lately, and give her wisdom about what to do.

Father, be with all my friends married to non-believers. Give them grace and peace and love this week.

Be with the persecuted church. Encourage and comfort. Reveal your mighty hand.

Thank you that my ACL wasn't torn. Please continue to help me to heal. Please help me finish this proposal on time, and help me to write for you alone.

All the people praise you, Lord. Amen.

Bible in 90 Days: day 14. Joshua has just died. Heading into Judges.

Writing: Working on my Swain articles today. I got a bunch of plot points done yesterday and I'll work on a spreadsheet outline tomorrow. I might do some market research today. I also need to work on my new website template.

Diet: Chicken chow fun for lunch (600) which is actually within the Blood Type Diet parameters, but it wasn't as good as my husband's Hong Kong style noodles. :( Tonight is leftovers. Maybe I'll get some time in on the bike later, too.

Thanks, Camy! I need it today, too. I'm having a bit of dermatitis, and my face looks like someone threw bits of strawberry on it. Ack.

I also prayed for Squirly's hip today. I hope she gives us word of a healing. That would be cool.

Thanks Sweetie. Just an update on Jules. She goes tomorrow to consult with the surgeon for the removal of the lumps. AND she also may have to have surgery on her shoulder from where she fell at work. AND she has the flu. This poor girl really needs your prayers.

Hugs! Love ya!

Thank you, Camy. Last week we had...One! With me, that makes...two! Exactly the number Jesus requires for Him to show up! And He did. We had fun. This is a new woman's organization in a large planned development of hundreds of homes. Bible study as one of the activity groups. Many already go to church. And many are not interested, and many don't know me from Adam's housecat, yet. I'd just love to have a circle of Christian friends in the 'hood praying for each other, and for others as well. We'll see if the Lord blesses it, and if it's the right time. Thank you for your prayers.

Thanks for praying for Amber, Camy! She continues to improve daily, in fact, the chaplains at the hospital have documented her condition and how she's imroved in direct opposition the doctor's reports as a sign to other people that God works miracles.

One of the nurses in the hospital mentioned Amber's improvement to the original neurosurgeon (who said she had a 0% chance of recovery) and reported to the family that he was completely dumbstruck by her report.

Praise God for His healing!

Hi, Camy!
I'd love to enter the drawing for the book!
I'm trying to build up my collection of CBA "lit" books.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And

Interview with Fantasy author Willamette Sutta

Adamant in Dust by Willamette Sutta Stones of power and one princess to save them all. The Far Stone Endurant is broken, and a prophecy foretells doom… She should have been the chosen princess to deliver them. But Pergi can’t love Prince Teyrnon, and that's a deal-breaker. Pergi has prepared all her life to become the ruler that her father wants. Without sons, he knows she could only retain the throne if she marries the neighboring prince, combining their kingdoms. Yet the same prophecy that calls for the reunification also warns that they must join by love. Supplanted by her younger sister in this sentiment, Pergi waits with ill grace for Sadira to marry Teyrnon and steal her birthright. No one expects that Sadira would do a runner on her wedding day. What starts as an impromptu rescue of the wayward bride leads to a desperate struggle against a deadly foe. The dark lord Malchor ensnares Sadira in his opening bid to gain all the Far Stones of power. With them, he wi

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th

Frogs

I know I blogged about this on my Writing Diary Blog , but I don’t think I blogged about this here. I read a few writing and productivity books, and I’ve been trying to form better daily habits. The problem is that my self-discipline is very bad. As in, embarrassingly bad. One of my goals has been to form a better writing habit. Since I’m a full-time writer, I already write every day, but I think there are things I can do to tweak my schedule so that I can be able to focus better when I write. I tend to get distracted by the thought of things I need to do that day which I haven’t done yet. I don’t know why my brain is like this, but I haven’t been able to break this tendency. So for example, while I’m writing, I’ll suddenly think about the fact that today’s the day when I need to change the bathroom towels, or mop the kitchen floor, or change the bedsheets. It’ll distract me for a few moments before I tell myself I’ll do it later and I need to focus on writing now. Then a few

Grace Livingston Hill romances free on Google Books

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci
