Ronie Camy Tang, Single Sashimi 2 Comments

I am tickled pink to have my dear friend, Camy Tang (AKA: Loud Asian Chick) on scene with us today to celebrate the release of her newest book, Single Sashimi. I have to say, this is probably my absolute favorite of her books–there is just something about Lex in this book that rocks!!
GUESS WHAT???
TODAY IS CAMY’S BIRTHDAY!!! Make sure you zip on over to her site and leave her a birthday blessing. http://www.camytang.com/ Yep, her birthday is why I signed up for her blog tour on this day. I love that I get to honor her hard work and HER in one sha-bang! LOL HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love ya, girl!
Camy and I have just returned from the ACFW conference in Minneapolis, where–I am pouting–we didn’t get a chance to hang out like we did last year (yeah, that photo’s from last year…sigh). Both of us were so busy. I missed you, Camy!!! 😀
OH!!! And Camy won FIRST PLACE in the DEBUT AUTHOR CATEGORY of the 2008 Book of the Year contest. Congratulations, girlie!!!
Camy created this Survey Meme, and I’ll post my responses tomorrow or this weekend. But for now, the spotlight is on my wonderful friend. So, without further ado….
