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!

Matthew 1:23

Dear God, Thank you so much for sending your son Jesus so that you could be with us. Thank you for sending Jesus to die for our sins so that we could be your people. Remind us of your gift to us, humble us, and bless us during this season. Amen 親愛なる神よ、 あなたが私たちと共にいてくださるために、御子イエスを遣わしてくださり、本当にありがとうございます。私たちがあなたの民となれるように、イエスを私たちの罪のために死なせてくださり、ありがとうございます。この季節、あなたの賜物を思い起こさせ、へりくだり、祝福してください。 アーメン

Now available - AI-Narrated audiobooks on Amazon

I’m trying out the AI-narrated audiobooks on Amazon/Audible for my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series (it was free for me to produce so I figured there wasn’t any harm in trying it out). All 6 volumes now have AI-narrated audiobooks, as well as The Spinster’s Christmas. (I wasn’t able to do The Gentleman Thief because the audiobook is only available to my newsletter subscribers and isn’t on Amazon. However, I am looking into getting an AI-narrated audiobook for that too and will probably sell it on my website.) If you already have an Audible Plus membership, you can listen to the audiobooks for free with your membership . On Amazon, I priced the audiobooks at the minimum of $3.99, but Amazon also has the audiobooks for an additional 30% off. I didn’t do the sale on my end, Amazon decided to do it themselves, so I don’t know how long the sale will last—get it now if you think you might be interested. The button below will take you to the entire Lady Wynwood’s Spies series on Amazon. Cl

My interview on Christine Henderson’s blog

Christine Henderson interviewed me if you’d like to read a little about how I came up with the idea for The Spinster’s Christmas and some tips on writing. Check out the interview.

Merry Christmas!

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). Matthew 1:23 As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let's remember the message of love and compassion he brought to the world. Wishing you a blessed and joyous Christmas.

Molokai Red hibiscus in The Lone Rice Ball

My novel, The Lone Rice Ball , is in the multi-author box set, Once Upon a Starry Night . It’s book 5 in my Christian contemporary romance Sushi series , but you don’t have to read the other books before reading this one. I had a lot of fun writing The Lone Rice Ball because I set it in my home state of Hawaii, on the North Shore of the island where my mother grew up. Most of the places in the book are fictional, including my hero’s uncle’s restaurant, the Molokai Red Restaurant in Haleiwa. I named it after a hibiscus variant that grows in my parents’ yard, which my dad has lovingly tended to for years. This is the Molokai Red hibiscus. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s hard to see in the photo, but it has a rich, dark red color that’s unusual for hibiscus. In the book, I also had the Molokai Red hibiscus bushes growing along the path to the front entrance of the restaurant. But in actuality, it’s not a very common hibiscus variant. I hope you can imagine these lovely flowers whe

Sale on The Spinster’s Christmas AI-Narrated audiobook

I had an AI-narrated audiobook version made of The Spinster’s Christmas on Google Play. AI-narrated audiobooks are also coming to Kindle, if I can figure out why KDP doesn’t think some of my books have tables of contents. Until then, The Spinster’s Christmas is available as an AI-narrated audiobook only on Google Play. I have lowered the price for the AI-narrated audiobook to only $1.99 from now until next week Friday, December 15, so be sure to get it if you’re interested.

Daniel 9:9

Dear Lord, Thank you for being so merciful and forgiving to us no matter what we’ve done or where we’ve been. Thank you for loving us so much, even when we find it hard to love ourselves. Even if we have rejected you, you still reach out to us and want us to come to you for love and comfort and forgiveness. Thank you for your magnificent grace. Amen 主よ、 私たちが何をしようと、どこにいようと、私たちを憐れみ、赦してくださりありがとうございます。私たちが自分自身を愛することが難しいときでさえ、私たちをこんなにも愛してくださってありがとうございます。たとえ私たちがあなたを拒んだとしても、あなたは私たちに手を差し伸べ、愛と慰めと赦しを求めてあなたのもとに来ることを望んでくださいます。あなたの素晴らしい恵みに感謝します。 アーメン

Year of the Dog serial novel, chapter 19

I’m posting a Humorous Christian Romantic Suspense serial novel here on my blog! Year of the Dog is a (second) prequel to my Warubozu Spa Chronicles series. Year of the Dog serial novel by Camy Tang Mari Mutou, a professional dog trainer, is having a bad year. While renovating her new dog kenneling and training facility, she needs to move in with her disapproving family, who have always made her feel inadequate—according to them, a job requiring her to be covered in dog hair and slobber is an embarrassment to the family. She convinces her ex-boyfriend to take her dog for a few months … but discovers that his brother is the irate security expert whose car she accidentally rear-ended a few weeks earlier. Ashwin Keitou has enough problems. His aunt has just shown up on his doorstep, expecting to move in with him, and he can’t say no because he owes her everything—after his mother walked out on them, Auntie Nell took in Ashwin and his brother and raised them in a loving Chri
