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

My Sensitivity Meter: I took an email the wrong way today. It was because I've gotten tons of complaints from people about the Genesis, and so I automatically assume that emails are either lavish thanks, or whirling confusion, or angst-ridden annoyance. It's usually the third one.
This email was annoyance, and what's more, it was a little unjustified, but it had a very valid point. But all I saw was the email-sender's annoyance at YET ANOTHER detail of the contest that I hadn't thought of beforehand.
Meredith said it was God stretching me (which is true but didn't make me feel better). Ronie unearthed proof that the email was a little unjustified (which prevented me from feeling depressed about yet another mistake I've made for this contest).
My husband pointed out that often life is not a matter of being right, it's being loving.
So where does this leave me? With the unhappy realization that my Sensitivity Meter is a little whacked. And my role as coordinator doesn't really put me in a position to solve it anytime soon. I'm SO grateful for my category coordinators (hi girls!) who have taken some of the email deluge upon themselves so that I can remain in blissful ignorance of all the wonderful stuff I've been missing.
