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
Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.02.2007
I have fallen in love . . .
. . . with a tea shop.
Lupicia is a Japanese tea company with a shop in Ala Moana shopping center, and I could spend hours there.
They have gourmet teas—red, green, white, black, and oolong, from different countries, from different areas within each country, blended, decaf, you name it.
They have tins of all their teas laid out so you can smell them, as well as origin and taste descriptions. I love black tea, and I spent tons of time smelling their selection. I wish I’d had more time!
I bought some tea and made a cup using Hawaiian honey and milk. Yummers!
My parents took me to Kabuki sushi bar last night. Talk about awesome sushi! Fresh fish, sliced generously. My parents “talked story” with the sushi chef, who had trained for several years in Japan.
After dinner, we ate malasadas (Portuguese donuts) from Leonard’s bakery (a satellite shop). Those things are addictive. They’re deep-fried fresh when you order, and they’re hot, fluffy, sweet, crispy…Mmmmm. I haven’t had malasadas in over two years!
I’ve been a good girl and running on my parents’ treadmill during vacation—for three days, at least. I should have run yesterday, but I’ll run today. As if 30 minutes is going to negate the billions of calories I consumed this week…
