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 03.20.2012
I’ve been annoyed lately because Facebook changes SO often that I have to keep changing my settings in order to make sure I get the feed updates I want.
My latest annoyance is that I didn’t know how to get the news feeds of the pages I liked, like the ones for music artists and TV shows.
But this also includes Authors I’ve liked, which is what spurred me to figure out how to do this.
How to get updates from your “liked” pages on your main Facebook news page:
1) Go to your profile.
2) Click on your Likes.
3) You’ll see a list of everything you’ve “liked” on Facebook. Hover your mouse over each one, and a little box will pop up.
4) Hover your mouse over the gray “Liked” box. A dropdown list will show up.
5) There will be a section called “Add to lists” and you may already have lists or there is an option to add a “New list.” You can add the page to a list already there, or add a new list.
6) When you add a new list, you’ll get a popup box. From here, you can add other pages to your new list besides the one page. Click on “Pages” on the right side and add any pages you want in your new list. You can also add friends and subscriptions, but for my Facebook newsfeed, I’ve already put my friends in different “friend” lists.
7) After you’ve added your pages, click Next at the bottom right.
8) Here you can name your list and also pick who can see your list. You can make it public, viewable only by your friends, or viewable only by yourself. Then click Done at the bottom right.
Another option is to get page updates in your email inbox, which I’ve also done via Hyper Alerts. Here’s a good article explaining Hyper Alerts and how to use it.
How do you get updates from your favorite Facebook pages? Any ideas besides these two solutions?

I was so glad to find this blog, my husband and I have a website that is so heavily Facebook integrated that updates can be a pain... Finding your blog at least makes me feel like I'm not the only one.
Thanks for the information it has been so nice to discover things I had no idea I could do on facebook.
