In my book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster , my heroine Lena is recovering from sickness and uses her favorite shawl to keep warm. 🧵 Click here to download the FREE PDF of the pattern. Here’s the short excerpt from the book that mentions the shawl: 📖 Excerpt from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster Lena still felt a chill as she sat in the sunlight streaming through the window of the Viponds’ drawing room. She was swathed in her favorite lace shawl, a gift from Melinda, who had knit it in Lena’s favorite color, red, along with cream and pink stripes. Tabitha finished pouring the tea and handed her a cup. Lena tried to smile as she took it, but her face felt stiff, like hardened clay. She was an utter failure. Despite all her training as an agent, she’d been undone by a malicious woman and a locked balcony in the rain. Had she given up too quickly? She’d been deterred by the railing, believing it would have broken under her weight. She had also been shivering t...

Historical research behind the stealthy fashion of my lady spies What would you do if you were a woman in 1811 and needed to carry a weapon, but had no pockets and couldn’t very well strap a dagger to your thigh? That was the challenge I faced while writing my Christian Regency Romantic Suspense series, Lady Wynwood’s Spies , where my heroines don’t just attend balls and sip tea—they also sneak around carriages, spy on dangerous men, and fight off attackers when necessary. In Volume 7: Spinster and Volume 8: Traitor , two of my heroines—Lena and Phoebe—retrieve hidden knives from secret slits in their gowns. The sheaths are sewn directly onto their corsets. Naturally, you won’t find that kind of accessory in the pages of Ackermann’s Repository of Arts or La Belle Assemblée , the fashion magazines of the day. But I wanted my heroines to be both era-accurate and armed. So I dug into fashion history to find a creative (and plausible) solution. The Idea Behind the Hidden Knife Shea...

Here’s a couple Easter Eggs for you in the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series: There are two trainers in the Ramparts who are mentioned in the books, Mr. Alex Armstrong and Mr. Levi Ackerman. From Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 4: Betrayer : Mr. Drydale had been taking Miss Sauber and Miss Gardinier to the Ramparts in the mornings to be privately trained by Mr. Alex Armstrong, who trained agents for both the Alien Office and the Foreign Office. A giant of a man, with muscles the size of headstones and a very impressive blond mustache, he often flashed his gleaming white teeth in a ready smile, which was nearly as blinding as the light reflecting from his balding pate. He was cheerfully relentless in training the two women in the many methods by which they could incapacitate an opponent using only their fists or weapons of opportunity. From Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster : So Lena told stories about her training under the swordmaster at the Ramparts, Mr. Levi Ackerman, but...

When I write the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series, there’s always more happening behind the scenes than what makes it onto the page. And so I started creating annotated editions . For readers who enjoy peeking behind the curtain, annotated editions offer a deeper look into how these stories are built—layer by layer—while still letting the novel stand on its own. What Is an Annotated Edition? An annotated edition is the complete novel , with optional author commentary added alongside the text. These notes are there if you want them—and easy to skip if you don’t. In the annotated edition of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster , you’ll find: Behind-the-scenes notes on character choices and motivations Historical research details that didn’t fit naturally into the story Easter eggs connecting volume 7 to earlier (and future) volumes Occasional author commentary on scenes that mattered to me personally Think of it as reading the book with me quietly sitting beside you, pointing...

A Regency Spy Hiding in Plain Sight After six volumes of conspiracies, betrayals, and escalating danger, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster opens in a very different place. The violence in London has paused—but the threat has not. Instead of following the same agents from the previous volume, this story shifts its focus to a new investigation, a new setting, and a largely new cast , while the wider consequences of earlier events quietly unfold in the background. Volume 7 explores what happens in the weeks after catastrophe of volume 6, when the world keeps moving even as wounds—physical, emotional, and spiritual—are still healing. A Quiet Village with Dangerous Secrets The story moves away from London to the countryside, where the Ramparts—an underground branch of the government tasked with rooting out traitors—has reason to believe a treasonous operative is hiding under an assumed identity. No name is known. No face can be trusted. Only this: the woman is skilled, ada...

My family was a bit stressed while I was visiting my parents (I promise, it wasn’t me!) and so I decided to postpone my Kickstarter. It has changed my book release schedule, and so I’ll be releasing Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster hopefully next month? It has also allowed me to figure out when book 8 will be released. Check out my (rather lengthy) explanation on my Patreon . (You’ll need to set up a free Patreon account if you don't have one.)

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

I’ve actually had a pretty terrible week in terms of my health. I don’t know what I ate, but my IBS has been horrible. However, I’m thankful that I wasn’t in pain all day and that it was only short bouts throughout the day. Every so often I’d have some bout of pain and nausea that lasted about 30 minutes. But it was very hard to concentrate. All too often I’d be in the middle of writing when the pain hit, which derailed me entirely. Since I couldn’t get much writing done, I did a lot of marketing work, which requires less concentration. I can also stop and start my marketing work without problems, whereas it’s hard for me to jump in and out of writing prose. As you can see, I haven’t made much progress on Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster , and you might notice my Outlining progress has actually gone backwards. That’s because I discovered a plot problem and I’ve had to go back to my outline to try to fix it. Please pray my IBS gets better so I can get more writing done!

Right now, I’m working on Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster . Here’s a snippet—it’s a little long, but I figured you wouldn’t mind, right? *** Lady Faine was nearest to the window and turned to look outside. “I do believe I hear a carriage approaching.” “Another one?” Lena asked. “Or is Mrs. Aldred returning?” “if she is, you know exactly what to say to her to induce her to scurry away, my lady,” Dorothea said with a smirk. “Naughty girl,” Lady Faine admonished half-heartedly. Lena could have wished for better timing of the new visitor. Simply thirty minutes later, and she would have had the information from Lady Faine about possible new neighbors who could be Dinorah Seiles in disguise. From the deep voice they heard from the entrance hall downstairs, the visitor was a man, but they couldn’t discern his words as he spoke to the butler. “Oh dear,” Lady Faine said. “Sir Gilbert is out in his fields at the moment with Wilfrid.” “Perhaps he will return later,” ...

Here are the covers to my next books! Spinster will be the 7th volume in my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series. I don’t yet have a release date because I’m still writing it and it’s taking a bit longer than I had anticipated, but within the next few months, I’m pretty sure. This is the cover for Lissa and the Spy, a novella I’m writing that will be in Once Upon a Courtship , a multi-author box set releasing in October this year. You can preorder Once Upon a Courtship now for only 99 cents! And then click here for how you can get additional free Christian romance ebooks! When the box set is unpublished in January 2025, I’ll release Lissa and the Spy as a separate ebook. I’m thinking that I might make it only available to my newsletter subscribers, and if that’s the case, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter so you can download it for free. But that wouldn’t be until spring of next year. In the meantime, preorder Once Upon a Courtship!

What do you get when you mix Regency society, covert operations, and a cast of dangerously clever spies? Welcome to the world of Lady Wynwood’s Spies , a Christian Regency romantic suspense serial novel filled with slow-burn romance, secret missions, and a touch of the supernatural. If you love ensemble casts, complicated family ties, and twists to keep you guessing, here’s a spoiler-free introduction to the main characters from the series. These are the faces behind the danger, disguises, and drama—plus a few extra tidbits I couldn’t fit into the books. Laura Glencowe, Lady Wynwood Height: 168 cm tall (5’ 6.1”) (same as Keriah) Age: early 40s (a lady never tells!) Once Viscountess Wynwood, Laura is now a wealthy widow with a sharp mind and a mysterious past. She may be older than the debutantes in her drawing room, but no one commands attention like Lady Wynwood—or hides as many secrets. Solomon (Sol) Drydale Height: 5’ 7” (170 cm) (a little shorter than Mich...
