Lady Wynwood #7 early release Kickstarter

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

And now, here’s me and Lynette!

1) What gave you the idea for HIDE AND SEEK?

I get asked a lot where I get my ideas. I honestly don’t always know. They just come to me. LOL. I knew I wanted to write a series involving characters who find lost children. Hence Finding the Lost, Inc. was established. I also knew I needed to diversify the story lines, meaning they had to be different enough to be interesting, yet all deal with missing children. Book 1 is Hide and Seek. The heroine’s daughter was kidnapped three years ago and she became a skiptracer to do whatever it took to find her. In Book 2, CHRISTMAS COVER UP, the heroine is a police detective whose sister was kidnapped fourteen years ago. She became a detective to find her sister but has hit nothing but dead ends. She hires Finding the Lost, Inc to get involved. In book 3 which doesn’t have a title yet, the heroine IS the missing child who wants to find her family.

2) If your heroine had a favorite dessert, what would it be and why?

Chocolate cake. Very simple, yet absolutely delicious. She might even go a little crazy and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

3) If your hero could have any car, what would he choose and why?

My hero’s not really into material things. He’s not flashy, but he does admire a good set of wheels. He would probably choose a king cab truck that would be big enough for the instant family he’s going marry but serviceable and dependable. He also would use the truck to help others if they needed it.

4) What was your favorite/funnest scene to write in HIDE AND SEEK?

Probably the ending. I always enjoy the tense moments where the heroine or hero is in trouble and rescue is on the way. I also love the villain reveal. That moment when the reader goes: “So he/she’s the bad guy!” Love those kind of scenes.

Camy, thanks for having me! These were fun questions to ask. I hope your blog readers enjoy them also. I have a question for those interested in entering the contest: What are your favorite kind of characters? What kinds of occupations do you like to read about?

Thanks again, Camy!

Camy: Thanks for being here today, Lynette!

Lynette is also giving away FIVE COPIES of her Love Inspired Suspense!

Hide and Seek
by Lynette Eason


SHE WON'T GIVE UP 
Erica James has spent the past three years as a skip tracer, hunting down others and hoping one day it will lead to her kidnapped daughter. Now she has a new suspect—Max Powell's missing sister. Max, a private investigator, has found evidence that connects the two missing girls, and together, he and Erica search for answers. The closer they get to finding answers, the stronger their feelings for each other become. But the kidnapper will stop at nothing—including murder—to keep them from finding Erica's daughter.

Grace Livingston Hill romances free on Google Books

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci

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

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
