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
I admit I’m on the fence about the TV show, The Blacklist. On one hand, I absolutely LOVE James Spader. He has such a presence on screen that’s really exciting to watch.On the other hand, the writers have a lot of little things that bother me, some “too stupid to live” moments. Every so often I’ll get so disgusted that I threaten to Captain Caffeine that I’m going to stop watching it … and then the show has some neat twist and I want to keep watching. So like an idiot, I keep watching.
There was a prediction I made at the end of Season 1, but Captain Caffeine said I should blog about it and put it out there. So here goes.
The man everyone thinks is Red Reddington is not Red Reddington. Let’s call him Mr. X. He’s Lizzie’s father.
The story about the real Red Reddington was that he was an officer who suddenly disappeared one day, then turned up 4 years later as a criminal.
The real Red Reddington died or was killed. Mr. X assumed Red’s identity and resurfaced 4 years after the disappearance, pursuing his criminal activities. There was a man in the Blacklist who could alter DNA—he did that for Mr. X to give him Red’s DNA. There was also a plastic surgeon in an episode that the fake Red mentioned he’d used, but he didn’t mention anything else about him—the surgeon gave Mr. X Red Reddington’s face.
Mr. X was at Lizzie’s house during the fire, but he was the man on the floor, her father.
In a season finale, Lizzie asked him if he was her father, and he said no. It was partially true—he is now Red Reddington, who is not her father.
So there’s my prediction. Mr. X is Lizzie’s father. What do you think?
