Congrats, Camy! How cool.

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!

Congrats Camy!

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.

Interview with Tamara Leigh

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.13.2006 Multi-published Tamara Leigh has shifted from Medieval romances to chick-lit! Her newest book is STEALING ADDA published by NavPress. It had been a long time since New York Times best-selling author -- and historical romance writer extraordinaire -- Adda Sinclaire had experienced more than a fictional dose of romance, but when publisher Nick Farnsworth walks into her life, everything changes. Life for Adda ironically reads more like a country song than a bodice-bursting, breathless affair. For starters, she has no actual romance in her life. That might have something to do with the fact that her husband -- correction-EX husband -- ran off with Stick Woman, whom everyone knew would never be more than a mid-list author anyway. To add insult to injury (and another verse to the country song), he not only took their dog but gave it to her. If this isn't enough, Adda's come down with a horrible case of writer's block and finds h

In-N-Out from A DANGEROUS STAGE

Source: tumblr.com via Camy on Pinterest In-N-Out, one of my fav burger joints, makes an appearance in the first chapter of A Dangerous Stage . It's a chain on the West Coast and Hawaii, I'm not sure how far east they have restaurants. They don't freeze any of their food, it's all fresh, including the buns and the french fries. When you order, you can see them use this french fry hand-crank machine to make their fries, it's pretty cool. The specific restaurant in A Dangerous Stage doesn't exist at that location, but there's a couple of them near me and I go there way too often than is good for me, but it's oh-so-yummy!

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

Daniel 9:9

Dear Lord, Thank you for being so merciful and forgiving to us no matter what we’ve done or where we’ve been. Thank you for loving us so much, even when we find it hard to love ourselves. Even if we have rejected you, you still reach out to us and want us to come to you for love and comfort and forgiveness. Thank you for your magnificent grace. Amen 主よ、 私たちが何をしようと、どこにいようと、私たちを憐れみ、赦してくださりありがとうございます。私たちが自分自身を愛することが難しいときでさえ、私たちをこんなにも愛してくださってありがとうございます。たとえ私たちがあなたを拒んだとしても、あなたは私たちに手を差し伸べ、愛と慰めと赦しを求めてあなたのもとに来ることを望んでくださいます。あなたの素晴らしい恵みに感謝します。 アーメン

Year of the Dog serial novel

About Year of the Dog : A month or two ago, I remembered an old manuscript I had completed but which hadn’t sold. It was a contemporary romance meant for Zondervan, titled Year of the Dog . The book had gone into the pipeline and I even got another title ( Bad Dog ) and a cover for it, but eventually my editor at the time decided she didn’t want to publish it, for various reasons. She instead requested a romantic suspense, and so I cannibalized some of the characters from Year of the Dog and thrust them into the next book I wrote, which was Protection for Hire . Honestly, I didn’t take a lot from Year of the Dog to put in Protection for Hire , aside from character names and a few relationship ties. I was originally thinking I’d post Year of the Dog as-is on my blog as a free read, but then it occurred to me that I could revamp it into a romantic suspense and change the setting to Hawaii. It would work out perfectly as (yet another) prequel to the Warubozu series and introduc

Michael’s Scarf knitting pattern

Michael’s Gray and Brown Scarf I had just written a scene in Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 5: Prisoner where my character Michael gives the heroine a very significant scarf. When looking for a stitch pattern, I found the one used in “#31 Comfort either for a Lady or Gentleman” in The Lady's Assistant , volume 2 , published in 1842 by Mrs. Jane Gaugain, pages 125-126 (click on the link to view and/or download the free PDF of the digitally scanned book). When I did test swatches, it turned out to be a pretty eyelet pattern that looks like branches or vines winding upward. I tried the pattern as a parallelogram scarf and discovered that the pattern has a changeable orientation, looking vertical or diagonal depending on how you looked at it. So I decided to use this pattern, knitted as a parallelogram, as Michael’s scarf. I decided to use a smaller needle and add a slip stitch in the pattern to make the eyelets a bit more close and less lacy. When paired with a brown an
