Guest Post and Giveaway from Author Janine McCaw
Note: To enter to win an e-copy of Helens of Troy, fill out the brief form at the bottom of the post.
Where the hell did the Helens come from?
I can pinpoint the exact time I got the inspiration to write my first book, Olivia’s Mine. I was walking up the wooden steps of what was then the gift shop of the British Columbia Museum of Mining, having just taken a tour through the copper-rich side of Jane Mountain, a land formation that once was a major source of North America’s copper supply. I remember thinking how strange it was that thousands of people once lived a community that was now home to a handful at best. I had driven past the Britannia Beach signpost several times on my way from Vancouver to Whistler, but I never took the time to stop and hear the story of the old, worn down mine at the side of the road. I never knew that one night, the entire lower town was flooded out into Howe Sound because of a poorly constructed dam. As I continued up the steps, a voice inside my head said to me, you should really try to tell this story. Because it was based on fact it was a little different to structure than most stories. I already knew the end, so I had to plot it backwards to find the middle and eventually a beginning.
With my second novel, Helens-of-Troy, it was the complete opposite. I have no idea why I was thinking about the Helen of Troy we all know, the one with the Trojan horse, but for some reason the title appealed to me and stuck with me for a while. I didn’t want to write another historical novel at the time, I wanted something that allowed a little more creative freedom. So I got to thinking, what if there was more than one Helen…and what if they were kick-ass demon fighters? I mean, the original H-O-T, she was a bit of a superhero for her time, wasn’t she?
So I decided these Helens would live in a small town called Troy. Pretty much a no-brainer there. But who were they? Why were they different than everybody else? What battle did they have to fight, and how exactly would they do it? To tell you the truth, I didn’t really know when I started to write their story. But one by one the Helens began to come to life, first Helena the matriarch of the family, and then Helen and Ellie. I decided to make the eldest and the youngest the polar opposite of the one in the middle, which allows for a lot of conflict.
Yes, I decided that there would be a vampire in this first novel. But he wasn’t going to be a warm and fuzzy kind of vampire. He was going to be a nasty soul. But the story isn’t so much about the vampire as the relationships between mothers and daughters, what makes their relationships so emotional? I threw in a group of slightly misguided teenagers for added fun, and the Helens began to plot themselves. I had to reel them in from time to time. They’re talkers, the Helens.
I hope you get a chance to read the book sometime. Maybe you’ll see some of your own family in them. If at the end of the day you smile and think, that was a good little story, then the Helens would be very pleased, and so would I. Thanks for spending a few moments of your day with us.
Helens-of-Troy
By Janine McCaw
Genre: Fantasy/Supernatural
“The Gilmore Girls meet Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
Fifteen year old Goth-chic Ellie has a lot of explaining to do. She’s just moved to the small town of Troy, fought with her uptight mother Helen, met the boy of her dreams and found a dead body on her sexy “new-age” grandmother Helena’s porch. All on the first night!
But Ellie’s not alone. Helen is hiding something. Helen knows all about the kind of eerie dreams her daughter is having — the dreams that show the whereabouts of the missing children of Troy — because she’s had them herself. But she’ll never admit it. Not while Ellie’s sex-crazed friend Ryan is safely behind bars for the murders. Helen knows what it’s like to be attracted to dangerous men.
Then there’s the little matter between Helena and Gaspar BonVillaine, the teenaged vampire who is learning to feed on young prey. Now that he’s caught Ellie, he doesn’t know whether he wants to kill her or turn her to the dark side and keep her forever. Helena should have finished him off when she had the chance.
To survive the vampire feeding frenzy surrounding them, mom Helen needs to come to terms with her own insecurities and deal with the gifts she has. Helena must learn to ground herself for the good of mankind and more importantly her own family. And Ellie has the toughest choice of all. Ellie must decide whether its time to let her own childhood go and become the woman she is destined to be, one of the ageless and timeless “Helens of Troy.”
Author Janine McCaw (Olivia’s Mine, 2006,) has written this 100,000 word novel, the first in a fantasy series about “the Helens.” The three generations of gatekeepers will take the reader on a trip to a realm mere mortals fear to visit alone, and they’ll make her want to stay a while.
About the Author:
Helens-of-Troy is the second novel completed by Janine McCaw. For the Vancouver-based novelist it is the continuation of a dream, and the fruit of years of working in a different creative realm.
McCaw’s deep understanding of compelling plots, widely appealing characters, natural dialogue and strong story arcs comes directly out of her early career in the film and television industry. McCaw’s skills as an observer started early when her family uprooted from the City to small town Ontario – and she became the classic fish out of water. Writing down her thoughts became an outlet as she scribbled her way through childhood, while she also developed her observational skills and visual eye with photography. A die-hard hockey fan, McCaw studied Cinematography at Humber College, and was headed for a career as a cameraperson covering professional sports when she landed an internship in a broadcasting services company.
McCaw excelled in the television distribution arena. She joined Thomas Howe & Associates and moved with that company to Vancouver, where she distinguished herself with her talent for identifying the right product for the right market, and her people-skills in negotiating contracts. After furthering her professional development with several high-profile Canadian entertainment companies, she parlayed her reputation as a leading Cable Programming specialist into her own boutique firm. Formed with a partner, Dark Horse Ent. specialized in finding, and selling, niche Canadian television series – entertainment, information and variety – around the Globe. McCaw also acted as an independent executive producer on award-winning television Classic Car series, Chrome Dreams, and as a distributor for series including Entree to Asia and At Home With Herbs.
In high demand as an insightful, humorous and engaging guest speaker, juror and analyst for festivals and trade forums around the country, McCaw also spent large amounts of time traveling abroad to television markets. Writing relieved the stress of constantly being on the road. Increasingly, she turned her main hobby into outlines for novels, and finished fleshing out the characters, plot and dialogue for Olivia’s Mine, a fictional account of a young bride’s struggle to make a life for herself against the backdrop of the disasters that hit Britannia Beach, British Columbia in the early 1900s. The book was released in 2006 and continues to be sold at the British Columbia Museum of Mining.
Helens-of-Troy was released early in 2012. McCaw is also currently developing eight other stories for novel form. All set on the Pacific North West and in Canada’s North, they include the murder mystery A Little First Degree, a feel-good trilogy The Inn at Hazy Waters (Northern Exposure meets Fantasy Island), and Pumper, an action romance that has already garnered interest as the basis for a feature film.

An Interview With Author P.T. Dawkins
What books did you love as a child? Why?
I remember loving all of the Dr. Seuss books. I suspect it was because of the animations combined with the story.
Who are your favorite authors? How did they influence your writing?
I read a lot of John Grisham and Michael Connelly because it is their genre (modified somewhat) I am trying to emulate. My favorite book of all time is probably One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey because of the incredible imagery he creates just using words. I try to do that if I can.
When did you decide you wanted to be a writer? Why did you decide to write?
I knew I enjoyed writing as far back as high school. I am not sure I fit the standard definition of wanting to “be a writer” because it has never been a career. For me, writing has always been a means to an end. I used it extensively in my career in the investment industry. Having left that over four years ago, I have a wonderful opportunity to fulfill a dream – to write and publish fiction novels.
When do you find time to write?
I try to write every morning, even if it is just for 30 minutes.
What are the joys of writing for you?
I really love the challenge of seeing if I can make the reader form opinions about my characters on their own, without me “telling” them what to think. Same thing goes with depictions of scenes. Show, don’t tell.
What are the obstacles of writing? How do you overcome them?
Life sometimes gets in the way. I need to be in a very quiet environment without distractions to write something that I will like later. That’s not easy these days.
What is your favorite genre to read in? Write in? Why?
Thrillers. Anything with an uncertain outcome where there is something on the line. Maybe this is similar to my attraction to the investment industry? I love puzzles.
How would you describe your writing style? How did you develop it?
I am methodical. I learned in my writing courses at the U of Toronto that every scene and chapter needs to have seven elements (the “hook, inciting incident etc.”) Before I write the first word, I do an outline of all of my chapters, which includes specific details of each of the seven points. That is my road map and I follow it as I write (and sometimes change it as I go along.) So, in the novel I am working on now, outlined to have 70 chapters, there are 490 short paragraphs describing each part of the scene. I don’t know if I developed it – it’s just the way I am.
What was the inspiration for your book?
I have always liked reading legal thrillers and thought perhaps I could do the same thing with Wall Street and white collar crime as the background setting.
What were the challenges of writing your story? The joys?
There is a lot of terminology on Wall Street that people don’t understand. It was a challenge to put some of these things into layman’s terms. Like what does it mean to sell a stock “short.” (You’ll have to read my novel to find out!) I’ve had a number of people come up to me to say they learned a lot about the business, which wasn’t necessarily the objective but is still gratifying.
Do you do research for your writing? If so, how do you go about it?
Yes! If you can’t find information about something on the Internet, then it doesn’t exist.
Tell us about your book.
After David Heart’s father’s estate is squandered by bad advice, his mother faces eviction and his grandfather needs life-saving surgery. A seemingly-helpful family friend finds David a seat at a bucket-shop off-Wall Street firm with the promise that money flows like wine.
Naive and quickly recognized as an easy mark, David is plunged into the eat-what-you-kill world of a trading desk, where the analysts, salesmen and traders sit like pigs at a two-sided trough. Bullied by the cruel, abusive head trader known only as Blackie, David is relieved when Sandy Allen, a strikingly provocative street-smart saleswoman, comes to his aid. But, what David doesn’t realize is that hidden agendas are everywhere, and no one can be trusted.
Now the target of extortion, David must make an impossible choice: facilitate an insider-trading felony in exchange for the money his family desperately needs, or face the cruelty of his mentor-turned-predator who has framed David and promises that he alone will be found guilty and suffer the consequences of the crime he refused to commit.
What did you learn about yourself from writing this book?
Maybe not learned but reminded. Never give up. Keep trying different things and ways to reach your objective.
What do you wish someone had told you about writing that you learned the hard way?
There is a right way to write, for sure. Poor writing is just that. But there is also your own personal creative way. You have to find a balance.
What is your next project?
I am ¾ of the way through the first draft of my next novel. White collar crime thriller. I plan to write three novels and create a trilogy. One of the characters in my first novel, The Analyst, lives on and is part of the second book (and third?)
What are you reading now?
1Q84. I like reading things that differ from my writing style to see what I can learn. I just finished The Hunger Games trilogy but, to be honest, got bored half-way through the third book.
Anything else you’d like your readers to know?
I am really enjoying this writing part of my life. I realize that my career in the investment industry has enabled me to do this. Things happen for a reason.
The Analyst

Change is Good
I’ve been so busy working on The Copperfield Review the last three weeks I’ve hardly had time for anything else. You’d never guess I had a book come out two weeks ago. Good thing it’s nearly summer so I’ll have some real time to work on everything that needs working on.
I wanted to share my Dear Readers post from The Copperfield Review here. If you haven’t visited Copperfield for a while, check it out. I think you’ll like our new look.
* * * * *
Have you ever had a time when there just weren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done? I have to admit, I don’t feel that stressed too often. I’m pretty organized so normally I can keep everything under control, but for the past few weeks it’s been crazy with how much I had to do. Finally, today, I can breathe. For now at least. It’s a good thing we decided to turn the Dickens Special into a year-long pursuit since that’s how long it’s going to take me to finish reading his novels and writing out everything I want to say about them.
Long-time friends of The Copperfield Review will notice our spiffy new look. Since it’s 2012, we decided it was time to join the twenty-first century with a blog-based site. Life has a funny way of unfolding sometimes. I had been thinking about changing the site for a while now, but you know how that goes. I made excuses, decided why I didn’t need to do it, the old site was fine, it would be too much trouble, et cetera. I put it off and put it off again until a chance encounter at the Las Vegas Writers Conference gave me the boost I needed to get it done. It took some fancy footwork to figure out how to work with wordpress.org—my own blog being on wordpress.com, which I find far simpler to work with. Learning the new site required a number of late nights pushing this and flipping that and annoying our Facebook friends with around 40 unintended posts.
Everything you’ve come to know and love about The Copperfield Review is here. We still have our Fiction, Nonfiction, Reviews, and Interviews pages. We still have our Submission Guidelines readily available. But the new site has a few more interactive features. We have a handy-dandy Contact Us page, and we have a new Submissions Manager. The Fiction, Nonfiction, Reviews, and Interviews pages have a share button so if you read something you like you can share it through Facebook or Twitter. And now we have an Archives, which our contributors have been requesting. I still don’t know the half of what this new site can do, and I’m looking forward to learning as we go forward.
Another new feature is the availability of advertising space, and you’ll notice the Donate button from PayPal on our sidebar. We realized (with the help of my friend from the Las Vegas Writers Conference) that if we begin generating income then we can begin paying authors for their work, which is how it should be. As a writer myself, I had simply accepted that writers aren’t paid (or aren’t paid well) for their writing. For most of the journals I’ve been published in, payment was two copies of the journal and a “Thanks!” And that’s about what we’ve paid here at Copperfield (though I hope our contributors realize we have a super hearty THANKS! for them). It’s time to turn Copperfield into a paying market. After all, we publish the best historical fiction out there.
This friend from the Las Vegas Writers Conference was there during my e-zine presentation. He mentioned Malcolm Gladwell’s assertion in Outliers that to have mastery over anything takes about 10,000 hours. In other words, in order to be good at your work, whatever it is, it’s going to take about 10,000 hours. At the rate we work on Copperfield, that might have taken us about five years. He asked if it took that long to get Copperfield off the ground. I told him we did it in about two. How? It’s pretty simple. It boils down to the fact that we have loyal readers and contributors from all over the world. Every edition our readership grows. I’ve received e-mails from all over the U.S., Canada, across the U.K., Switzerland, Germany, France, China, Japan, Australia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, and lately we’ve been finding a large readership in India. Welcome to our new site and thank you one and all. You’re greatly appreciated.
Here’s looking forward to all the future has to offer.

The Las Vegas Writers Conference–The Craft and the Business of Writing
I spent this past weekend at the Las Vegas Writers Conference. It was my first conference as either a writer or an editor, and what a thrill to be there as an invited faculty member. I had my presentations about writing historical fiction (no great surprise here) and about e-zines (even less of a surprise there), and I had the opportunity to slip into a few of the other presentations and learn from other industry professionals. I had a number of writers pitch their historical novel ideas to me since Copperfield Press will be accepting submissions again this summer, and I loved hearing what they had to say.
I understand now why writers flock to conferences. Writing is such a solitary activity, and it’s nice to connect with others who love the same thing I do. One of the things that impressed me most was the writers’ willingness to ask questions. They were there to take away whatever information the industry professionals could offer. More than one writer told me they knew they still had a lot to learn and they loved going to conferences because it gave them a chance to learn from those in the know.
So what was the buzz at the conference? Self-publishing and the indie author revolution seemed to be the hot topics, at least among the writers I talked to. Some writers want to know all about indie publishing because they’re considering going that route. There were still many writers who would rather go to the traditional route, and they were very interested in meeting and pitching to the agents and publishers who were there. That’s the main idea I took away from the conference: as writers today, we have a choice. We can choose to pursue traditional agents and publishers. We can choose to go the indie author route. It’s all good. How lucky we are to live at a time when we have options. One thing I said to the writers in my e-zine presentation is that we no longer have to wait for permission to do what is in our heart to do. We can take matters into our own hands, and to me that is liberating news.
Social media was also on people’s minds, and the social media presentations were well attended. I would have liked to have gone to that one myself. After a year of learning social media, there’s still so much I don’t know. There were about an equal number of presentations about the business of writing (how to write query letters, how to attract an agent’s or editor’s attention, how to create e-books) as there were presentations on the craft of writing (tips on writing better dialogue, crafting a story, writing historical fiction). In other words, the conference covered all of a writer’s concerns. As writers today, we need to know how to write to the very best of our abilities, and then we need to know what to do with that writing when it’s ready to be read by others.
I had a wonderful time at my first writers conference. I had a chance to reconnect with some old friends, and I made several new friends too. And while I went there as the teacher, I took away some valuable information. As writers, we should keep learning—about the business and about the craft of what we do. A creative calling like ours requires us to replenish ourselves with new ideas, new information, and connecting with like-minded souls is always a good thing.

Social Media, Blogging, and Platforms…Oh My!
It has been an amazing year. Since Her Dear & Loving Husband was released on April 19, 2011, it has found a loyal audience of readers who have been generous in their praise. I know most authors would argue that their readers are the best, but I know my readers really are the best. For those of you who sent e-mails asking about Book Two in the James and Sarah Saga, thank you. Your enthusiasm means the world to me. Now, after a year in the works, Her Loving Husband's Curse is getting ready for its Tuesday, April 24, 2012 release date. You can read the Prologue here.
I've learned a lot over the past year. I learned about social media, author platforms, blogging, e-book formatting and e-book pricing. I've become both a blog tour author and a blog tour host, and I've discovered a whole fun world of giveaways. I've met many wonderful readers and writers I never would have met otherwise. And through it all, I managed to write a 90,000 word novel. Whew! No wonder I'm so tired lately.
Today I read a wonderful interview on the Smashwords blog with Claire Farrell, an Irish indie author who talks about how she doesn't worry about blogging, social media, or author platforms. She spends her time writing books, and those books have found her an international audience and she's currently supporting her family as an indie author. I like what she has to say, and the longer I'm in this publishing game the more I agree with her. I'm not saying I'm giving up Twitter, blogging, or the giveaways. I enjoy them too much. But I also need to focus on writing because that's why I'm here in the first place. I have stories to tell, and I'm not happy with myself when I'm not telling them.
It should be easier this time around. I have a basic understanding of the social media game now. I'm still learning and growing, but at least I have a base to work from this year where last year I was starting from scratch. I know which marketing strategies worked for me and which didn't. I know what helped me to find new readers and what didn't. That learning curve was important, but now I'm ready to turn my focus back onto writing. I can live with myself without ever going on Linkedin again, and I'm not anywhere close to attempting Pintrest, but I can't live with myself without writing. Like everything else in life, being an author is about determining your priorities and acting accordingly.
I've been taking a serious look at my priorities as an author. It turns out my priority, like Claire Farrell's, is to write books I want to read. And that's where my focus will be as I continue into the next stage of this journey. Though Book Two of the Loving Husband Trilogy is done, I'm not even close to being finished. I still have one more book in the trilogy to write, and my goal is to get it out April 2013. I'm also planning on spending the summer revising and publishing a couple of novels I had previously written but were never released. Victory Garden, which will be published in July, is a historical novel set around the woman suffrage movement and World War I. There's not a vampire in sight in Victory Garden, but I don't think the story suffers because of it.
I'm excited about what the past year has brought with Her Dear & Loving Husband, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from this new adventure with Her Loving Husband's Curse and Victory Garden. I have a feeling the best is yet to come.
