Lady Wynwood #7 early release Kickstarter

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

Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.18.2007

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request or e-mail me. If I forgot your prayer request, e-mail me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't e-mail me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray ONE Sunday.

I’m trying something new with my Sunday Prayer. I’m really bad about doing it on Sunday, so I’ll be updating it during the week.



Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you that Squirl’s hard drive wasn’t too bad and Geek Squad could recover all her files, and thank you that they’re actually fixing the laptop, too.

Please help Missy’s friend have a positive attitude and outlook, and I pray the spots on his liver are benign. I also pray the surgery will go very well.

Be with Jennifer T. and her family. Help the house rebuilding go quickly and smoothly. Let everything go well with the insurance company. Give her and her family peace and comfort during this time.

Be with Jane O.’s family. Comfort them and surround them with your presence.

Help Ronie with the changes happening in her life. Help her to stay strong and supple in the storm. Give her your strength and resilience and love. Help her boys do well in school and help the teachers better respond to their needs.

Please be with Sharon S. and her family right now. Give them your comfort and strength.

I lift up Dana and her husband, and pray you’ll provide speaking opportunities for them to build up their team and support.

I lift up Ruth’s cat Salty and pray you’ll ease her suffering, whether by healing or taking her. Please give Ruth wisdom and please spare her the pain of having to put her down.

I lift up Wendy’s computer. Please help the computer techs be able to retrieve ALL her files without problems and with minimum cost.

Give Kristin’s fingers speed to finish her book in the next week. Help the moving in proceed smoothly and without stress or hassle. Help her book develop as you want it to.

Hi Camy!

How sweet you are to pray for people you've never actually met. :)

My husband and I are missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. We plan to leave for Tanzania, East Africa in late July. We are currently raising the financial support to go. My prayer request is for speaking opportunities where we can present our ministry and invite people to partner with us in this venture and for God to build our team of both prayer and financial partners.

Thanks so much!

BTW - the cover of your book - the Sushi one... It's so vibrant - it makes me want to get the book NOW. :)

Hi Camy,
Thanks for posting about your prayer list...boy did I need to read that this morning. I am really torn up inside...one of my precious cats, Salty, is off her food in a major way. She eats just little bits at a time, only when really coaxed. But she's drinking and still very alert. I am just heartbroken over seeing her look so frail. Please pray for wisdom, for me and an potential treatment, and also God's mercy. My heart-prayer is that if this is her time, He'll just take her in her sleep and I won't have to make the call to have her put down.
Thank you so much!
Ruth

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

Protection for Hire cover reveal!

Here’s the new cover for Protection for Hire ! I made the cover in Canva, and then my graphic designer rearranged the elements a bit and adjusted the filter so it would look more professional. What do you think of the new cover? The model actually looks a lot like my youngest niece! Since you voted for the Protection for Hire series as the contemporary books I’ll start posting on Patreon , chapters will start going up next week. I’m also going to try to annotate the chapters so you can read about Easter Eggs and behind-the-scenes tidbits about the book.

My first hand-spun yarn!

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.22.2010 Since late December, I have been learning how to spin wool into yarn using a drop spindle. Yes! It’s true, I have gone totally Amish/old school. (No offense to any Amish or old school people. I mean that in the nicest way.) I don’t know why I suddenly decided to learn to spin. Or if I did know why, I’ve forgotten (I probably explained it to Captain Caffeine at some point, but now I don’t remember what excuse I gave to him). Not having any yarn shops nearby that teach spinning, I bought a Cascade spindle online and some really soft, silky merino wool roving from Etsy.com. I read all kinds of online articles and watched youtube videos. And I spun my first yarn! Here it is! It’s a lace weight yarn (about 30 wraps per inch), since I like using finer gauge yarns over bulkier yarns. It’s rather uneven (although it’s not as easy to tell in the picture) and I didn’t ply it very well, but I made it all by myself! Captain Caffeine does not...

A List of my Free Blog Reads

Curious about what my writing is like? Here’s a list of all my free books and the free short stories, novellas, and novels that you can read here on my blog. I’ll update this post as I add more free reads.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures...

Behind the Scenes: Original Cover

Prelude for a Lord (the extended version) releases on Amazon on December 2! You can buy it early at a discount from my website . (Want to join my Launch Team ?) The current cover is actually the second version of the cover for this book. Here’s what the original cover from my publisher, Zondervan, looked like. The original stock photo was of a blonde woman, and when I pointed out the error, the graphic designer at Zondervan did a nice job coloring her hair brown. For the new cover, I kept the orange and blue colors but chose a model in profile rather than with her entire face hidden. This new re-release is an extended version of the original book. Zondervan had a strict word count of 100,000 words, but my original manuscript was 120,000 words, so I had to cut 20,000 words. But when I got my rights back and started planning to re-release it, I realized I could release the original manuscript before it was cut. So the version coming out is the uncut, extended version. ...

Kickstarter postponed (yes, again!) and book release news

My family was a bit stressed while I was visiting my parents (I promise, it wasn’t me!) and so I decided to postpone my Kickstarter. It has changed my book release schedule, and so I’ll be releasing Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster hopefully next month? It has also allowed me to figure out when book 8 will be released. Check out my (rather lengthy) explanation on my Patreon . (You’ll need to set up a free Patreon account if you don't have one.) Read when my books are coming out: https://www.patreon.com/posts/113452442/
