A Quiet Village, a Hidden Spy: Inside Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7

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...

Prelude for a Lord now on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited

Forbidden Music and Love in Regency England I’m pleased to share that Prelude for a Lord , the first book in my Gentlemen Quartet series, is now available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. This novel holds a special place in my heart. It’s a Regency romance shaped by music, the shackles of society, and longing—set not in the whirl of London society, but in the quieter, more emotionally charged spaces of the English countryside, where reputations fray and hidden talents come to light. A Regency Romance Rooted in Music Prelude for a Lord is set in Bath, England, in December 1811, and centers on two characters bound together by music and separated by society, circumstance, and past wounds. At twenty-eight, Alethea Sutherton is considered past her prime for courtship, but conventional expectations have never suited her. She is, first and foremost, a musician. In Regency England, however, the violin is deemed an improper instrument for a lady. Shunned for her passion, Alethea pract...

Protection for Hire cover reveal!

Here’s the new cover for Protection for Hire ! I made the cover in Canva, and then my graphic designer rearranged the elements a bit and adjusted the filter so it would look more professional. What do you think of the new cover? The model actually looks a lot like my youngest niece! Since you voted for the Protection for Hire series as the contemporary books I’ll start posting on Patreon , chapters will start going up next week. I’m also going to try to annotate the chapters so you can read about Easter Eggs and behind-the-scenes tidbits about the book.

Behind the Scenes: Original Cover

Prelude for a Lord (the extended version) releases on Amazon on December 2! You can buy it early at a discount from my website . The current cover is actually the second version of the cover for this book. Here’s what the original cover from my publisher, Zondervan, looked like. The original stock photo was of a blonde woman, and when I pointed out the error, the graphic designer at Zondervan did a nice job coloring her hair brown. For the new cover, I kept the orange and blue colors but chose a model in profile rather than with her entire face hidden. This new re-release is an extended version of the original book. Zondervan had a strict word count of 100,000 words, but my original manuscript was 120,000 words, so I had to cut 20,000 words. But when I got my rights back and started planning to re-release it, I realized I could release the original manuscript before it was cut. So the version coming out is the uncut, extended version. Here’s the back cover description:...

You're worth more than gold

I was recently just listening to my music playlist and it cycled to one of my favorite songs, “Gold” by Britt Nicole. This was one of the songs that inspired me as I was writing Gone Missing . Joslyn, my heroine, was from a poor background, so she was working at an electronics store in Los Angeles and putting herself through school in computer programming. When she got involved with her ex-boyfriend, who murdered her father, she ran away to Oregon. She lost her baby and the woman she was working for helped her through that ordeal. The woman also talked a lot about Christ to her, and so Joslyn has been seeking Christ more and more. She’s lost a lot and has gone through a grieving process after her father was murdered and she miscarried her baby. She had to leave school and her job to run away from her ex, so she has to start the school year all over again. At least she’s able to work for Liam and Elisabeth in Sonoma, California, at their new skip-tracing agency rather than try...

Coming soon to Camy’s Patreon

My contemporary books are coming to my Patreon! (Did I just slip a teaser of a cover reveal in there for a new book? Why yes, I did.) My Patreon subscribers overwhelmingly voted to have me post my contemporary books in addition to my Regency novels, so I’ll be releasing chapters once people vote on which book to start with. If you subscribe, you’ll be able to read chapters every week and get a complimentary .epub of the book once it’s done posting. Unfortunately, my Patreon URL is CamilleElliot and I can’t change it, but it’ll be a Camy Tang/Camille Elliot Patreon with both my contemporary and historical books, at least for now. Tier 1: Ramparts Agent will get you access to all my contemporary books. Higher tiers are more targeted toward my historical novels for the moment, but that could change once I figure out how to manage my Patreon for both my pen names. I invite you to join my Patreon to get first access to my contemporary books before they go live on Amazon! Join Camy’s...
