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

The James Cameron documentary
Many of you have heard of the documentary on the Discovery Channel, “The Lost Tomb of Jesus,” produced by James Cameron and based on the book The Jesus Family Tomb.
My friend Randy Ingermanson is not only a Biblical scholar but also a brilliant PhD physicist with an extensive mathematical background. He was naturally interested in the documentary and the book.
The idea of Jesus’ tomb being found is rather disturbing for the average American Christian (ya think?), so Randy set out to see what they had to say. And being both a Bible scholar and a mathematician, he could determine if the statistics they quoted are correct that the archaeological find was the tomb of Jesus.
Randy already has stellar credentials in this field of Biblical statistics because he wrote a book on the Bible Codes statistics, and he’s also done research on other bone boxes, particularly the one thought to be that of James, the brother of Jesus.
According to his calculations, the odds are at least 10,000 to 1 AGAINST Jesus of Nazareth being the man found in the tomb. He commented on it in his Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine March edition (.pdf), with a link to a more extensive article with all his calculations.
The article in the e-zine is short and to the point—take a look at it if you have a few seconds.

Comments
I don't really pay any attention when they come out with documentaries like this or people start saying things like they found Jesus' tomb because I believe that until the day Jesus comes back there are always going to be people trying to discredit Christianity. And I used to worry about such things. I mean really really worry. But now I don't even pay attention to them. They don't bother me at all because I know what I know. Ya know?
