Congrats, Camy! How cool.

But I have to ask--he opened your box instead of letting you do it???

Woo hoo! Congratulations, Camy! Savor the moment. But I'm with Sally--no one should have opened those boxes but you! :-)On the other hand, Captain Caffeine must be as excited as you.

BTW, my review copy arrived on Friday. :-)

Camy, I got my copy yesterday and I'm psyched. I started reading it first on the Zondervan Breakfast Club, so I look forward to the read.

Congrats on your first shipment of your first published books--the first of many to come!

I loved the dedication--that line was about as sweet as any romance I've read!

Wasabi!

I just got my copy as well, and I think I scared the people in the post office when I ripped it open and screamed for joy.

Totally cool!

I'm halfway into your novel and HAD to go out for Shushi tonight. You make me miss San Jose! :-( I totally relate to your characters and am cracking up so much!

We have been talking about your book on Shelfari on Trisha Goyer's group.

Can't wait to do your tours on FIRST and CFBA.

Camy, that is so cool. Congratulations. I can't wait to read it, even though I told you I'm more of the rough and tumble, kill and maim type of stories.

Just finished reading my copy this evening and wanted to stop by to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was one of those can't-put-it-down books for me. I loved the hero... that's what makes a good romance, in my opinion. Great job! Looking forward to the next installment.

How exiting for you Camy!!! Your very own novel in your hands. You must be so proud!

I just got my copy of Sushi for One about an hour ago (for CFBA) and I think what I'm going to do is read it on the plane when I go to Korea. I leave Aug. 22 and it's a mighty long flight, so I'll need something to read!

Congratulations Camy!

That's a lot of boxes? Newbie question: Is that typical? How many copies is that?

Hi Patricia,
It varies from house to house. Some places, you get less books, some places, you get more. I got quite a lot, plus I bought 2 more boxes of books at my author cost (about 50% off, plus shipping) to sell at conferences (I can't sell the free author copies).

Yes, Sally...I opened the boxes for her (shrug)

She told me she was expecting them and I thought she wanted to know when they arrived.

But hey...I left the other 4 boxes for her to open! :)

Congratulations on your book! I'm grabbing my cup of tea and settling back in my chair to start reading.

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible , and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me. Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues a larger story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy. Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience. If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you. Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start. ✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader...

Mon afghan

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.24.2009 I am extraordinarily proud of this. For Christmas, I wanted to knit something for my parents that would be really cool and personal, and sort of an heirloom. So I took the five family crests I had for my family (in Japanese, a family crest is called a “mon”) and graphed the designs on knitting graph paper so that I could knit intarsia panels of the mons. I knit 5 intarsia panels and 4 plain panels and then sewed them together to make an afghan. In Japan, family crests are carried by both male and female, so I used mons from both my parents' sides. Traditionally, mons are passed down from mother to daughter and from father to son, but there are sometimes cases of a son taking a mother’s mon or a husband taking his wife’s family’s mon and things like that. I know we have more than 5 family crests, but we’ve lost some of them. My mom tried to find them all several years ago, but could only find these five. The fans mon was actually...
