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, Stardate 01.28.2009
Ane Mulligan tagged me, so here goes:
Rules: Once you've been tagged, write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I am currently exercising 6 days a week! Yay!
2. I’m walking/jogging to try to build up so that I can eventually run for 30 minutes straight.
3. I am currently wearing pink fingerless gloves I knit myself.
4. I am also currently wearing a spiral scarf I knit myself.
5. I’ll be teaching a mentoring group at the HeadStart program at Mount Hermon Writers Conference this spring.
6. Actually, I just realized I’m also wearing socks I knit myself.
7. I am really an introvert because large groups of people drain my energy, they don’t give me energy, but being an introvert doesn’t mean I can’t be friendly and outgoing—it just means that once I hit a certain point, I need to be alone to recharge.
8. I’m currently working on a proposal for a new romantic suspense. It’s hard trying to think up ways for the villain to try to kill the heroine. Where she escapes.
9. I’m almost done with the really really really late Christmas present for my parents, but I think they’ll like it. (And no, Mom, I will not tell you what it is.)
10. I drank 10 glasses of water yesterday.
11. I found one of my knitting row counters (finally!) but still haven’t found the other one. Grrrrr
12. I am avoiding making my yearly check up with my doctor because I’m afraid she’ll suggest a mammogram, since I’m getting into that age.
13. I belong to the Amazon vine program where I get free books (usually ARCs) and I have to post a review on them. I’ve read some really good books for them lately.
14. I’m also trying to read some historical romance novels I borrowed from my friend Danica, because I want to get them back to her ASAP. Between these and my Amazon vine books, I haven’t done as much reading for my writing as I’d like to.
15. Captain Caffeine suggested I write a book set in Hong Kong. I said I’d need to visit there to do that. I’d be willing to sacrifice.
16. I’m really getting into watching CSI: NY lately. The story premises have been really interesting.
17. Another favorite TV show is Leverage on TNT. Really clever plots. It’s like Ocean’s 11, which I loved.
18. I still haven’t mailed my thank you cards for Christmas gifts. (I’ll get to it this week, Mom!)
19. My favorite knitting store is KnitPicks.com. I love their Harmony wood needles and I love how they offer luxury yarns at very affordable prices.
20. I currently have some bulky weight mohair blend yarn and I’m not sure what to do with it. Any ideas?
21. I have been eating with chopsticks lately because it forces me to eat slower. And it feels kind of neat to eat with chopsticks again, which I used to do more when I was in school and living at home.
22. Lately I’ve been really happy that my sinus headaches are almost entirely gone, thanks to eating a tablespoon of local unfiltered honey every day and using a saline nasal rinse.
23. I love giving away Christian fiction on my blog and in my newsletter YahooGroup. I like promoting Christian fiction.
24. I think I’m going to introduce “You Are the Light” by Fee for our youth group worship.
25. Considering how much I like to talk about myself, it was really hard coming up with 25 things about me.
