Pen names: Lyra Parish & Kennedy Fox (we're an author duo!)
I've been in the indie scene since 2011. I published my first romance novel in 2014 (Weak for Him). Under Kennedy Fox, we've made USA Today 5 times since 2017. As Lyra Parish, I made the top 100 list several times on Amazon.
If you're looking for those books, you will not find them. I unpublished my Lyra Parish backlist in 2020 with zero regrets. You can watch that video here: bit.ly/3k8P6pa

Awe! Courtney I am so so happy that you liked your gift! It was such a joy shopping for you because you are such a wonderful person who is just beautiful inside and out! Thank you for the kind words and I too consider you a part of my UA-cam family. So happy that you are apart of my life. Enjoy your camping trip and please take care of yourself! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for everything! You’re the besttttttt 💯 😘🥰✨👑
As a writer myself I love these videos. I'm terrified of joining author tube so I absolutely admire you all for allowing us to follow your journey. It's so inspiring and motivating to watch you all unbox your survival kits:D
Aww, thank you! Don’t be terrified because you’re already a part of it! There are a lot of amazing people and tons of community. ❤️
LOL, hot mess over here… always! 😂😂 Thank you!!
Omg!! You cry, I cry!! Knowing JC I’m sure the card was beautiful and inspiring. She is such a light on AuthorTube!! The stickers are so cute!!!! Ooooooo Halloween socks!!! So perfect!!! And first off that canister is amazing, but then to have coffee inside too!! Perfection!! I’m obsessed with that mug!! Hahahaha! Yessss to the ‘90s lol! Dating myself even more, I was in my 20s in the ‘90s, so I feel you on the ‘90s love!! And that candle!!!!! I want!! So amazing!! JC just nailed it!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ The 90’s were just so iconic! Can’t imagine being a new adult during that time! Loved watching your unboxing and your NaNo buddy’s unboxing too! All I can say is I love you! 😘
Ahhh Lisa Frank. Top tier 90s nostalgia.
This is so fun watching the unboxings! Good luck with all your editing in November and I hope 2022 is an amazing year for you 💕
Yessss, Lisa Frank is everything! Thank you so much! I hope 2022 is my year to really shine after the last two I’ve had. It can only go up from here!
The Lisa Frank stickers and clicker pens are my youth! Amazing gifts, JC!
Sameeeee! Lol, she could’ve literally just sent those two things and I would’ve been so happy!
I loved how thoughtful & sweet all your goodies were because you were sweet & thoughtful with mine! 💕 Great job, JC! I loved the scented pens and Lisa Frank stickers-very 90’s!
Aww!! I loved putting together your package! It was so much fun! ❤️ JC did such a good job and I can’t wait to use all my stickerssss!
Omg that glitter mug ✨💜 and how amazing that it matches your computer! JC did a wonderful job ☺️
All the rose gold glitter gave me life!! 😍
JC did such a good job!! The rose gold, the mouse mat, the socks!! Such good items! :D Wishing you a wonderful NaNoWriMo!
She did! 😍😍😍😍 Thank you! And you too! Happy NaNo! It’s our month to shine!
I screamed at the bats Vine, I miss Vine so much haha. But also those socks are so cute omg. And I'm salivating over those pens ugh. This box was SO GOOD and SO YOU, and I'm so happy to see you happy! (That sounds weird and creepy, but I mean it in the non-weird/non-creepy way!)
Hahaha, I’m so glad someone remembers it! It literally lives in my brain rent-free! And thank you, I don’t think it’s creepy! I love seeing people happy! It’s contagious! ❤️❤️❤️
It's been so great to see you so happy! :-) I love your channel and your videos. I send you a ton of hugs from Prague, Czech Republic (I'm French but I live in Prague now so let's make a double hugs some French some Czech :-) )
aww, thank you so much! I’ll take double hugs all day! ❤️❤️
Your strength shines through always. So happy I’ve found your channel 💕
Aww, thank you so much. It means a lot!
What a great collection! I’m envious of each of those rose gold items and the mug full of candy! 😍 i hope camping goes/went well!
She spoiled me so much! The video just doesn’t do the glitter in the pens justice! And thank you! Camping so far has been great!
We had to have a clicker pen for school. Like you, we could only write in black or blue. Corrections, when checking homework was done in red.
All my folders were Lisa Frank.
🙌🙌🙌 Ahh, so I’m with my people!
Omg the Lisa Frank stickers! Iconic! Keeping a specific sprint notebook is such a good idea.
Right!! I was so SHOOK! I’m actually looking forward to using it in 2022! 🙌🙌
heeeeeey JC killed it! This looks like the perfect box to help with editing hell. JC is so fantastic, definitely the cheerleader we all need sometimes!
She didddddd!! The perfect cheerleader!
Those gifts were so thoughtful! This was fun to watch, especially the mini 90’s nostalgia.
They were! The Lisa Frank stickers were amazinggggg! I can’t wait to use them!!
What a lovely package. I also was a teenager in the nineties and wow, flashbacks!
Ahhh, then you completely understand how ✨iconic✨ the 90s were! ❤️❤️ I can’t wait to see the cardboard castle be put together!
Have a great NaNoWriMo! Lovely gifts!
Thank you! You too! ❤️
Ohhhhh the pumpkin spice Tazo blend is so good >u< I should go get some!
I really can’t wait to try it! I’ll have to let y’all know how it is! ❤️
I totally forgot about these Nano Swap videos! JC did a bomb job capturing you in a box. Have a great time camping! Be safe out there.
I thought she did too! Lol, she knows me! And thank you so much! Hope to get a lot of words edited this week! 🤞
@@TheCourtneyProject You got this! Maybe try doing some editing sprints on your trip with family time in-between. That way you get the perfect balance.
Aww, Courtney, you're gonna make me cry woman. I want to give you a big squishy hug!
Hope you're enjoying your camping trip. And I just wanted to thank you. I'm so glad you came back to UA-cam and brought us your great personality and enthusiasm for the recent sprints. I hope you're feeling more positive about returning to the platform and more importantly, that it's serving you for you in the end.
I hadn't committed to writing a novel again due to life and mental health for the last 3-4 years. Your recent sprints awoke that passion and motivation back up and I started this new book during your sprints and it's been a huge stepping stone forward toward this too-long hiatus I had regarding my novel projects. So, thank you for that.
Aww! That makes me so happy! I am glad I came back. It was hard, but I love the community and how supportive everyone is toward one another. I’m so happy that you were able to start a new project after a hiatus. ❤️❤️
JC did such a great job! This box was amazing
She did! I’m so spoiled! ❤️❤️
all those lisa frank stickers 😍 what a great survival kit, caffeine, stickers, a candle... what more could you need?
Exactly! I’m totally set right now! 🙌🙌🙌
Oh, I got hit with some '90s nostalgia with my package too. I still have a few of my Lisa Frank folders. Good luck with editing!
Yes, you did!! That was awesome! You still have some of your OG folders? I looked on eBay the other day and they were selling for $85!!!! Ma’am, you’ve got a small fortune! 😂
@@TheCourtneyProject OG folders with my old homework in them! I'm gonna have to dig them out have a look at eBay... might have found my retirement fund 🤑
@@LanieBuck LOL you might get double for the ✨authentic✨ 90s homework included!!! Haha!!
So glad you got sone amazing gifts and sending you hugs across the ocean 🤗 ❤
Thank you so much, Joey! ❤️❤️
OMG these are all so thoughtful!! I love getting to see all the fun goodies!! Good luck with NaNo!
JC did such a good job! Thank youuuu! ❤️❤️❤️
Love it! These packages are so fun. The title of the video says 2022 instead of 2021.
Haha, thanks Laura! Got it updated! ❤️❤️
You’re the first video of these that I watched. I love seeing all the goodies and OMG I love Lisa frank stickers! I had a giant collection of them back in the day :)
Aww thank you! I did too!! I asked Will if he remembered Lisa Frank and he was like no. My jaw dropped, how can you have lived through the 90s and NOT remember LF! I can’t wait to use them! 😂😂
@@TheCourtneyProject well my husband is only 3 years younger and there are things he is like huh? When I brings things up from the 90s :)
Such great items that she sent you! And yes, Author JC Carpenter is an awesome channel and person to follow! I was also a teenager in the 90's and I loved, loved Lisa Frank. I'm glad that the gifts lifted your spirits!
LF was ✨iconic✨ in the 90s and still is! JC is amazing and I hope everyone goes and checks her channel out!
Such a heartwarming video! It's clear JC took a lot of time and care packaging that box. I'm also a teenager of the nineties, so I totally get the nostalgia. Enjoy your camping trip. I'm so jealous of your camper van. Hope it keeps you cozy. Autumn camping is the best!
Thanks so much, Daisy! Oh you were a 90’s teen too? Lol, so you totally understand! ❤️❤️ I can’t wait to camp, it’s going to be amazing! And you’re right, JC did put some thought, care, and time into my package. I was super excited!!
Cool stuff in the survival kit!!! How exciting!!! At least it's from someone that truly cares!!!
Thank youuu!! I know, it coming from JC made it even more special! ❤️
This is the sweetest and such thoughful gifts! What fantastic fuel for writing and for life. I hope they're a comfort for you. 💜
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
So awesome! How sweet and thoughtful are those cards!
They really were! She is such a sweet person!
Love this swap box!
Thank you so much! ❤️
