Writing Progress - Sushi and Suspicions is done!

I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!

SUSHI FOR ONE ebook free for computer, Kindle or Nook!

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.10.2010

I know I just posted about this on Monday, but I found out that Sushi for One is also available as a free ebook from the Barnes and Noble website!

So you don't need a Kindle or a Nook! If you have a computer, you can download Sushi for One from BarnesandNoble.com and read it on your computer with the B&N ereader software for PC or Mac (click on "PC" or "Mac" which is on the left side of that huge iPhone picture).

So if you have:
--a Kindle
or
--the Kindle ebook reader software on your computer
or
--the Kindle app on your iPhone or iPod Touch

Then you can download Sushi for One from Amazon.com for free for a limited time.

If you have:
--a Nook
or
--the Barnes and Noble ebook reader software on your computer
or
--the eReader app on your iPhone or iPod Touch
or
--the B&N ereader app on your iPhone or iPod Touch

Then you can download Sushi for One from BarnesandNoble.com for free for a limited time.

What are you waiting for? Go get it right now! Stop picking your nose and go download my free ebook!

On a side note, I was flipping through Sushi for One the other day (and NO, I don't do it often, I actually don't like reading it again because I see all my mistakes!) and I remembered the scene in Hot Pot Town. The restaurant is based off of a real restaurant in Milpitas called Hot Pot City and it's reeeeeeeally good.

Oh, heck, Chinese hot pot dinner is ALWAYS really good! It's basically a pot on a hotplate in the center of the table with water or broth in it, and you drop (raw) meat, fish, and/or vegetables in the pot. They all simmer together and cook, and you scoop it out and eat it, usually over rice. Hot Pot City often has marinated meats and veggies to add even more flavor.

Then when the broth is really good and flavorful, you drop in some noodles and let that cook for a while, and enjoy the noodle soup as the last "course." The noodles are my favorite part, actually.

Anyway, I was thinking I haven't been there in a while and maybe I could get Captain Caffeine to take me back for lunch sometime, and I can take pictures for you guys so you can better envision that scene in Sushi for One. I'll try to do that soon.

Thanks Juju and Megan! I hope you guys enjoy reading it!

Juju--you can totally do hot pot at home! If you don't have a hotplate, just use a pot on the stove and serve people from that. It's delish!

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th

Save the Date - Camy's Patreon Launch

My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

Chopsticks and knitting

Hahahahaha! My husband, Captain Caffeine sent me this cartoon. The Asian and the knitter in me loves this one: My parents taught me to use chopsticks at an early age so they’re pretty comfortable for me. Did you know there are differences between Japanese and Chinese chopsticks? The Chinese ones tend to be blunter and more slippery whereas the Japanese ones are pointier and sometimes have a textured tip to make it easier to grab food. My mom will eat salad with a chopstick, which I have to admit is a bit easier than a fork, for me. Any of you knit? Any of you use chopsticks?
