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

Let me tell you the story of Pepper.
Pepper is a Labrador mix who belongs to a certain editor who shall remain nameless.
Pepper was an adorable puppy and remains a darn cute dog. He is black, with short legs and a barrel of a body. He also loves the cat he lives with.
Snickers is a German Shepherd/Labrador/Pit Bull/name any dog you can think of mix who is a butthead.
She went through SIX ROUNDS OF DOG TRAINING because she is such a butthead. Even our trainer said she was a butthead and that we got a difficult dog for our first pet.
Lovely.
While lots of other dogs responded well to their owners, ours did not listen. The trainer had to be—ahem—a bit forceful with her to get her to stop misbehaving.
It’s kind of like having the problem child in a classroom full of brilliant overachievers.
For my May 2010 book, my editor asked me to write about a dog. Naturally, being a dog owner, I jumped at the chance.
Except I am the owner of one of the biggest buttheads on the planet. Not a very heroic character for a novel.
Not having much experience with obedient dogs, what was I to do?
Pepper to the rescue.
In my May 2010 release, I introduce you to …

Oh yeah, in my last two novels, I'm written in a dog. But, I can't use mine...too wild and crazy.
But, I can invent my dream dog and give it the same name...LOL.
Great post!
Lynn, why is it we have the wild dogs and it seems everyone else has perfect dogs???
Jeanette--LOL you're absolutely right!

But now he is pretty and shiny having just come home from the groomers. He smells so good!
