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 Caffeine sent me this link for a 16 pound prime rib roast that can be ordered at Costco.com. I think they offered it mainly for the holidays.
Go ahead. Click on the link. See how much it costs. I’ll wait here until you come back. Go on.

DID YOU SEE HOW MUCH THAT PUPPY COST??????
Captain Caffeine says it’s a fine grade of beef like Kobe. At the restaurant, Kobe costs about $200 for 8 ounces, so 3Gs for a 15 pound roast is actually a deal. Right?
I had Kobe beef once—my parents took us out to dinner for a special occasion except I can’t remember the occasion, just the beef. LOL
Anyway, the Kobe beef was REALLLY GOOD. I mean REALLLLLY. For a beef lover like me, it was heaven—super super tender, with a delicate beef flavor.
But it wasn’t quite worth the price, I’m sorry to say. I’d rather spend $35 for an aged ribeye. Sure, the pleasure factor wouldn’t be as high, but the pleasure per dollar ratio would be a lot better with the ribeye.
How about you guys? Any beef lovers? Anyone else tried a Kobe steak?

Yeah, I like a good steak or something, but I'd become a vegetarian before paying that much for some meat. LOL
Honestly, I'd take my dad and uncle's homegrown beef any day. Perfect marbling and tenderness, aged to just the right day, and the taste, hmmm. Man, Camy, you need to stop by my place sometime and I'll grill you up a good tender Ribeye steak from some corn-fed Iowa beef.
Now maybe if they threw in a chef to cook the thing, I might relent...
That is hilarious! I clicked that link with my son in law looking over my shoulder and got quite an education. Not only is it about what the cows eat, it's about the daily massages that they get that makes that beef so tender and so expensive. But I was like WHAT?!? You've gotta be kidding me right? I know I'll never get the chance to taste it. But thanks for the Wow!
