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 11.05.2009
Those of you on Twitter and Facebook saw mefreaking out patiently waiting for my chocolate to arrive. Well, they came on Wednesday!
Isn’t this pretty? I love pretty packaging.
You can order the chocolates here if you can’t help yourself. Just to warn you, they’re a bit pricey and contrary to how they look, each truffle is only a little bigger than a marble.
The flavors are very intense, however, so actually I don’t think I’d have been happy with a larger piece of candy—it would have been too much. When I eat some truffles from a local chocolatier, they’re too much for me, and I end up only eating 1/4 or 1/3 of each truffle in each sitting and putting it back in the fridge. But it doesn’t taste as good when I pick it up again.
Anyway, here are the flavors of the truffles (because of course I already tasted each flavor as soon as the box arrived!):
Mascarpone and Ceylon Cinnamon Snap: Italian mascarpone + Ceylon cinnamon + organic sour cream + 45% deep milk chocolate
This is by far my favorite flavor. I love the combination of cinnamon and mascarpone and sour cream.
Candy Cane Peppermint: All natural candy cane + peppermint + 65% dark chocolate
This ties with the eggnog (below) for my second favorite in the box. The ganache in the middle is sinful! I also tend to like mint chocolate, so this was really yummy to me.
Eggnog and Jamaican Rum: Appleton Estate rum + Grenadian nutmeg + ginger + Dominican Republic white chocolate
Very tasty! The white chocolate is a tad sweet for my taste, but the combination of spices is excellent!
Holiday Plum Pudding: plum + French Armagnac + Sicilian almond marzipan + 65% dark chocolate
My least favorite in the box, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it. The Armagnac gives it a really decadent kick.
There you go! The chocolate I wasscreaming about patiently waiting for!
