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 family tree! You know my little graphic?
It's actually a fancied-up version of my Japanese family crest, or mon. Traditionally, it's passed down from mother to daughter.
This is actually my grandmother's father's crest (Hironaka family) rather than my grandmother's mother's crest (Hirosue family) because we had a hard time finding her mother's crest. My mom just sent me a rubbing from some relative's grave--this is the Hirosue crest (which I should have used):
It's five fans. Isn't it pretty?
This is my mom's father's mon (maternal grandfather):
And this is my dad's grandmother's mon (paternal great-grandmother):
This is actually a crest from one of the royal families because my great-grandmother is descended from one of the ladies-in-waiting or something like that. But I can't claim it as my personal family crest because it's from my dad's side. Shucks, huh? I could be descended from royalty!
Well, I probably act like a spoiled princess as it is . . . ;)
TMI:
Bible in 90 Days: Day 10. I just started Deuteronomy, and one thing I'm seeing is God's power balanced very delicately with blessing. I cannot forget that He is the Lord my God. He has already blessed me abundantly like He promised blessings on the Israelites if they would obey Him. I want to please Him and have that fear of Him at the same time. It's a healthy fear. It feels healthy.
Writing: I posted a short article on developing your writer's voice on my Story Sensei blog.
I also posted a review of Siri Mitchell's chick-lit, The Cubicle Next Door (below).
Diet: I exercised yesterday! Woohoo! Let's hope I can keep it up the rest of this week.
