My trip to England - Lord Byron’s estate

One of my favorite places on my trip was wandering the grounds of Lord Byron’s estate, Newstead Abbey. It was amazing! The grounds are very extensive but also there’s a real sense of peace there. I would love to live on the grounds and wander around with my laptop to write in various places of the estate. I’m so glad my friend, author Liz Babbs, took me here.



The grounds aren’t as extensive as Chatsworth, but Newstead Abbey had by far my favorite grounds and gardens on my trip.



I couldn’t go inside the abbey because the house wasn’t open on the day I visited--it’s only open one day a week to visitors. I’d love to go back to England to go inside the abbey, too, and also revisit the grounds. There’s a little information about Newstead Abbey here on wikipedia and here’s the official website of Newstead Abbey, which is owned by the city of Nottingham.



If I ever become a famous New York Times bestselling author, I am totally buying a flat or condo on the Newstead Abbey grounds!



I posted pictures with comments on Facebook, which you should be able to see even if you don’t have a Facebook account.

Weddings and Wasabi ebook now only 99 cents!

The ebook version of Weddings and Wasabi, the 4th book in my Sushi series, is now only 99 cents! Woohoo!





After finally graduating with a culinary degree, Jennifer Lim is pressured by her family to work at her control-freak aunty’s restaurant. But after a family dispute, Jenn is determined to no longer be a doormat and instead starts her own catering company. Her search for a wine merchant brings John into her life—a tall, dark, handsome biker in form-fitting black leather, who’s Hispanic to boot. It would be wonderfully wild to snag a man like that!



Shy engineer Edward tentatively tries out his birthday present from his winery-owner uncle—a Harley-Davidson complete with the trimmings. Jennifer seems attracted to the rough, aggressive image, but it isn’t his real self. Is she latching onto him just to spite her horrified family? And if this spark between them is real, will showing her the true guy underneath put it out?



And what’s with the goat in the backyard?

I have a bunch of Christian books to give away, so I thought I’d try out this fun contest for everyone who has “liked” my Facebook author page. If you haven’t yet, what are you waiting for? :)

https://www.facebook.com/CamyTangAuthor.



From Oct 12 - Oct 19, you get an entry into the contest for every time you like and comment on one of the posts on my Author page wall. This includes the blog posts from my blog, ChristiansRead, Love Inspired Authors, and Girls, God, and the Good Life blog.
