Earlier I had posted that you can now buy Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster on my website. But I forgot to mention that for a limited time, if you buy the eBook or the paperback , you’ll also get the annotated edition eBook with Easter Eggs, behind-the-scenes tidbits, research notes, and random author commentary FREE. Once the book goes into Kindle Unlimited, I can no longer offer the annotated version on my website, so be sure to get it now before the book goes up on Amazon. 10% off coupon code for ALL BOOKS I finally got all the Lady Wynwood’s Spies regular paperbacks in my store, and if you use the coupon code website10 , you can get 10% off all the eBooks and paperback books in my shop! NOTE: If you’re waiting for the Special Edition paperbacks, those will be available in my Kickstarter later this month. Get 10% off https://camilleelliot.com/shop/

Blog book giveaway:
My Monday (well, really Tuesday) book giveaway is the Flanagans series (4 books) by Marta Perry.
My Thursday book giveaway is A BABY FOR DRY CREEK by Janet Tronstad.
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Monday, I'll draw the winner for the Flanagans series and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.
Continued from Mount Hermon recap, part 5:
In the coffee lounge, Sarah had to leave to teach her Night Owl class, and so Chip left, too. I joined some other friends gabbing, and then I went to the dining hall to get hot tea.
There weren’t many people in there chatting, so I zeroed in on the caffeine. Then I heard a voice, “Camy!”
Chip sat at a round table with three other women, one of them Laura Christianson (my blogging buddy and classmate in the Media Mania class). I met Jenn Doucette, who is a long-time friend of Chip’s, and Karen Kennedy. All of them were from the Seattle, WA area.
(BTW, Jenn just started a blog called Chatter Matters: blogging with hope, humor, and author Jenn Doucette.)
Chip waved at me to sit down. I did. (What can I say, I’m a lemming.) He introduced the women.
“Camy here just signed a 3-book deal with Zondervan.”
Wow, Chip MacGregor just tooted my horn for me. That’s kind of cool.
The three women offered congratulations and ask what the books are about. I told them. Chip started teasing me again about Asian chick-lit. It was rather weird because I’ve only ever seen him tease Steve Laube and Randy Ingermanson like that, and I only met him an hour ago.
Well, heck. If he’s going to dish it out, I can, too.
I turned to the women. “Let me tell you what happened in the coffee lounge when Chip first heard about my 3-book deal...”
I described the “revolted jerk” reaction quite nicely, complete with demonstration. The women found it quite amusing. People turned to stare at the cackling and whooping.
Chip protested, “I didn’t do that.”
“No, maybe it was more like a nauseated shudder.” I gave another accurate demonstration.
More snickers from the peanut gallery.
Chip laughed.
So, despite my laughing-and-pointing, Chip can handle teasing. Good thing for me, huh? Since I’m not smart enough to be respectful to an editor.
Tuesday: Some marketing news I learned.

(If only he'd take it a little more often, then maybe he'd quit dishing it out so often.)
(Did I just say that?)
(Yes, I do believe I did.)
