Every story has a beginning. This one did not go according to plan. 🫖 Worst. Meet-cute. Ever. The Lady Wynwood’s Spies series starts with Volume 1: Archer , the first installment in— “Yes, Miss Sauber?” I ask. Miss Phoebe Sauber, a character in the series, glares at me. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if she weren’t holding a bow and a wickedly sharp arrow. “Don’t ‘Miss Sauber’ me! You made me misfire an arrow!” “Um … well, it’s called a meet-cute …” “I don’t care what it’s called! I have never fired an arrow at a person in my entire life! And you made me shoot an arrow at Mr. Coulton-Jones, of all people! The one man in all of London who is even remotely tolerable as a dance partner!” “Now you’re exaggerating. Mr. Collingworth wasn’t that bad …” “All he talked about was his hunting dogs. And he has terrible taste in names for those poor creatures!” I can’t really argue with her. I tried to convince him that Lickspittle Furrybottom was not dignified enough of a name for his pr...

Pride and Prejudice meets Mission: Impossible Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues the story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy. Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience.

a.k.a. Camy’s diabolical treasonous organization I mentioned earlier that the symbol of the Citadel in the series is actually my family crest. Bianca’s silver seal is also found in Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 4: Betrayer. What I did was order a custom-made seal of the Citadel—or rather, my family crest. 😄 I thought the company who made the seal did a good job. Bianca’s seal is silver and mine is brass, but it was neat to hold it and feel the weight of it and press a few wax seals (I’ll post pics of those later). I felt almost like a member of a diabolical treasonous organization sending super-secret messages and trying to help Napoleon take over Europe. 😝 What do you think? Curious how it all begins?

The real-life inspiration for the library from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer In chapter 8 of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer , there is a very important architectural anomaly in Mr. Farrimond’s home: She came out along a wide, airy hallway that she recognized, since Miss Farrimond’s bedroom was only fifty yards to her right. To her left, the hallway continued for several yards before ending at a small window. Directly across from the stairway was a narrow passageway blocked by a pedestal and a truly ugly vase. The first time Phoebe and the Misses Laytons had been at Miss Farrimond’s home for a garden party in the backyard, they had been given a tour of the house. Miss Layton had commented on the oddly-placed vase, and with a mischievous smile, Miss Farrimond had proceeded to set it aside and lead them down the narrow, L-shaped passage. It ended abruptly in a plain door, and she reached above the lintel for an iron key. The door had opened above a vast library, two ...

I’m hoping to do a Kickstarter in late July or early August, and I thought I’d post this to answer a few questions you might have about it. What’s a Kickstarter and why’s Camy doing one? My Kickstarter is a crowdfunding campaign to fund the production of a Special Edition hardcover with dust jacket of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer. Depending on how this Kickstarter goes, eventually I would like to do Special Edition hardcovers of the other books in the series. For all you avid fans of the series, this Kickstarter will also offer an early release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. However, the main focus of this campaign is the Special Edition hardcover of book 1. Kickstarter isn’t a shopping website, but I admit I kind of feel like I’m shopping when I back a campaign for books or items that look fantastic! Why Kickstarter: Kickstarter enables me to produce the kinds of gorgeous special editions that I love and offer them to you, my readers, so you can...
