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, Supplemental
One of the girls in my youth group spearheaded a One Life Revolution fundraiser at our church to raise money for families of AIDS in Africa. It’s a very cool program and we raised enough money for 294 children in Africa.
To end the fundraiser, she arranged a symbolic candle lighting ceremony. The youth group kids each got a candle, which they lit from a single “Timothy” candle, and they in turn lighted 294 tea lights, one for each of the children they’d raised money for.
(And yes, we made sure we had the fire extinguisher handy. These are teenagers, after all.)
Of course, at the end, she was stuck with 294 tea lights and the candles the youth group used to light them. I volunteered to take the candles.
I will actually use these tea lights. I have an aromatherapy candle diffuser that I use when I write.
I fill it with some homemade lavender and eucalyptus infusion water, and as the water evaporates, the lavender and eucalyptus smell fills my small office.
The aromatherapy is for relaxation (lavender) and clearing my sinuses (eucalyptus) to prevent sinus headaches, which hit me every time the barometric pressure changes.
I go through tea lights pretty quickly, so these 294 tea lights will last me the rest of the year!
Anyone else use aromatherapy?

Boy, I really delurked, didn't I?
:)
Where would I find it?
This are the most fantastic candles, in pint canning jars and they smell beyond fantastic.
I buy then at the local grocery store and THEY can't find her.
I wanted to buy some volume candles in colors of my choice as give aways at book signings. I thought,
Christian novel, Petticoat Ranch
Christian Candles, Masters Hand
Perfect cross promotion, perfect way to support a Christian business, what could be better?
Except I can't find the woman. The local grocery store said she doesn't have a phone and she lives in the country, they're not sure where and she just comes in sometimes with candles.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I also found a webpage, phone number that seemed to work, and newsletter. I've left messages, signed up for the newsletter and ordered candles online and emailed her.
Nothing.
Ghost candles.
But man do they smell good!!!!!
