Pride and Prejudice meets Mission: Impossible If you love witty banter, secret agents in cravats, fierce heroines, and slow-burn romance with high-stakes suspense, then welcome to my world of Christian Regency Romantic Suspense! This is the two prologues and chapter one from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer , the first installment in my epic-length historical adventure series. I originally posted this excerpt in weekly parts, but I’ve compiled everything here so you can read it all in one sitting—no need to click through multiple posts. Before the excerpt begins, here’s the back cover description so you know what to expect: ⸻ Part one in a Christian Regency suspense series with slow-burn romance and a supernatural twist She met him again by shooting him. Unmarried after four Seasons of towering over her dance partners, Miss Phoebe Sauber learns she will be cast out of her home when her father remarries. Feeling betrayed by her father and God, she misfires an arro...

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?

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 ...

This Kickstarter is going to be awesome! I’ve been planning rewards that’ll knock your socks off! Don’t know what Kickstarter is? Check out this blog post about my Kickstarter.

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...

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

If you have time, I would greatly appreciate it if you’d write a review of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer on Goodreads! Doesn’t have to be five stars—just be honest with how you liked it. Thank you very much!

The model on the cover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 6: Martyr is the same as book 1, my character Phoebe. Her real name is Chelsea, and if you’d like, you can see the original stock photo here . I chose this stock photo because the book is essentially about Phoebe, but this pose is different from book 1, where she’s staring at the camera. I wanted to show a bit of “departure” for Phoebe to reflect some of the events in the book. A lot of things change for her, and she’ll never be the same. I was also really excited when I found the stock photo of Bianca’s notebook for the background. It was exactly how I pictured a leather-bound notebook would look like. I also admit that I kind of got lost down a rabbit-hole when I was searching because there were so many neat leather notebooks! My cover designer found the stock photo of the vial of Jack’s potion. She didn’t even have to change the color of the liquid because she found a vial of red liquid, which was perfect. Both the noteboo...
