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

I have to admit, this book was the first Karen Kingsbury book I’ve ever read. And BOY, now I know why she’s a bestselling author!
She writes with so much emotion, with so many emotionally vibrant pictures, with such exquisite word choices! I was crying left and right—and I enjoyed it!
Very uplifting, hopeful book. It shows God’s grace and love practiced by fallen Christians during trying periods of life, through hard choices.
There are a LOT of characters in this book, and since I haven’t followed the Baxter series, I was a bit confused at times and couldn’t always remember who was who. But she does a good job giving subtle hints so I could figure it out within a few paragraphs.
People who have followed the Baxters will find it a very satisfying ending, pulling lots of story threads full circle. I thought she did a good job, considering how many characters and stories were involved in the series.
Overall, a very entertaining book, hard to put down. Kingsbury fans will love it, and it made a new Kingsbury fan out of me!

I love KK but I confess I have OD'd on her. I've taken a break, and now have some catching up to do with the Baxter family apparently. ALong with the bajillion other books I brought home with me from ACFW. Oh, except for yours of course, because when I got to the bookstore it was SOLD OUT. Blah.
