Hi there! This is Camy Tang, and today I get to guest blog on Ronie’s blog! Ronie wanted me to talk a bit about my suspense writing. Many of you know that my first three books are humorous contemporary romance, the Sushi series. So how did I go from crazy extended families to dead bodies? (Although some could argue that crazy extended families can be the cause of the dead bodies—I’m sure there has been more than one homicidal thought during a family get-together!) While I admit that writing humor has always come naturally to me, I tend to read a lot of suspense. So when I first started writing seriously, I wrote one humorous manuscript (my ill-fated “The Corinthian …

Shadow of Colossus by TL Higley … and a Meme
First – before I do the meme, I *have* to rave about a new book put out by B&H Publishing. The day I received Shadow of Colossus by TL Higley in the mail, I gasped. I’d been at the B&H website the week before absolutely drooling over the cover and story synopsis for this book. I was THRILLED to read it, but realyl nervous, too–ya know how it is. You see a book and think it’s going to be fantastic, but when you read it… So, my fear of being let down kept me from reading it for a few days. THEN! I finally caved to my HUGE curiosity, and started reading. Shadow of Colossus is one of the most …
WIN ONLY UNI by Camy Tang!
Okay, so I admit–with red-hot cheeks–that a MONTH ago when I thought I was LATE doing Camy’s blog…well, I was actually a MONTH early. So anyway, here’s the REAL DEAL with Camy–and the interview, along with that same promise to WIN A FREE COPY of ONLY UNI by the amazing CAMY TANG!!! 1. You now have two books available for the public, with your third coming out in August 2008. Is there anything you’ve learned in the process since you signed that contract that you want to share? Not all publishing houses are the same, and certain editors/marketing directors/art departments have a better fit with certain author personalities. I know for a fact God completely guided my publishing house to …
Win Only Uni by Camy Tang!
Hey, everyone! Listen up! I’ve got the Loud Asian Chick on my blog today. That’s right–Camy Tang is featured here, and I’m so thrilled and honored to share her new book with you. But first – I have to confess. I think I was supposed to do an interview with Camy. 🙁 Sigh. I’m terribly sorry to both you and Camy for failing in this. Our family has had some exciting and unexpected things happening, and I’ve been caught in that whirlwind. However, I’m really hoping Camy will let me feature her again, soon. She’s a really kewl friend, so stick close and pray hard. LOL Now, on to her book. I got the extreme pleasure of reading Only Uni …
10-20-30 Meme
Camy Tang & Patricia Carroll (PacJac) tagged me! I am supposed to tell where I was 10-20-30 years ago. 10—1997…Hmm, I was well into the first draft of my futuristic, Liberty’s Son. My mom had died the previous year. I had two children. Live in Fort Worth and we were small home group leaders for our church. 20—I was in my senior year at Killeen High School. This is the point in my life where I was starting to find myself…Had an amazing English Teacher who impacted my life in a HUGE way. (Love you, Mrs. Montgomery!) 30—I was seven years old. Beginning to realize that what was happening to me was *wrong* (I was abused). Lived in Massachusetts…or were …
ACFW Conference rocks!
Well, it took me nearly all week to recuperate from the conference. I am finally feeling like a human being again. I’m rested, focused, and very passionate about writing for God’s glory. A lot happened at this conference. I’ll have more pictures to share soon (yeah, I know…I’m ancient because I used an ‘old fashioned’ camera where you had to actually look through the teensy square box to take the photo, and now I have to actually get the film developed–GASP!), but just had to post this one taken by Ane Mulligan during the Keynote Luncheon in Robin Caroll’s Presidential Suite–and yes, it was SWEET! It’s me, Dineen Miller, and Camy Tang. At conference, God supernaturally freed me from the …
Win Sushi for One? by Camy Tang
I am DELIGHTED to bring you my good friend and crit partner CAMY TANG and her hilarious Asian chick-lit book, Sushi for One?, out now from Zondervan. This photo from last year’s ACFW conference shows me with the Loud Asian Chick. The girl is absolutely amazing writer, sweet (she’ll love me for that one), and a wonderful friend. Now, on to Camy’s interview: 1.) What inspires you to write? I love writing, but I also rest in the knowledge that this is trulywhat God wants for me to do. He asked me to lay down my writing oncebefore, and then gave me the green light to pick it up again, so Iknow that this writing is something He approves of …
