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 Caffeine said, “There’s a new Transformers ride at Universal Studios down in Los Angeles.”
Me: “I think I’m getting too old for that stuff. I don’t get a good enough Return On Investment.”
Captain: “What do you mean?”
Me: “Before, I used to love roller coasters. I didn’t mind paying the park fee and waiting two hours in line for each ride. Now, it’s just not worth it to me anymore. Those are two hours of my life I’ll never get back.”
Captain: “What if you went with your friends and you guys could talk while you’re in line?”
Me: “But it’s hot. Why would I want to spend money to stand in a hot line with lots of people when I could instead spend money to be in a coffee shop with my friends, or go have High Tea somewhere and talk there? I’d be in air conditioning and get scones and Devonshire cream.”
Captain (thoughtfully): “You have a point.”
What do you think? Amusement park or coffee shop? What floats your boat at your stage in life?

But I think I would still prefer the tea...
Since I'm the gotta-have-it-all girl, I say go to the park once this year and have coffee any other time you want. Then you could have an experience to talk about for awhile, and have your coffee too.
