The Drill Sergeants Of Prose!
The difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the same as the difference between lightning and the lightning bug. ~ Mark Twain
You’ve sat at your computer for several months, even years, and you finally have a product you think is ready to publish. You’ve even had friends and family read your manuscript and they say it’s good to go. Some of you have also taken the extra step of working with critique partners to revise and polish your pages. Good for you! Unfortunately, that’s where the majority of writers stop before they press the publish button or send it off to agents and editors. No matter the road you’ve chosen to publication, there’s another step you should consider.
While your friends and critique partners can provide valuable insight and catch many mistakes, they are not the same as using a professional copy editor. These folks can do amazing things to your manuscript to bring it to the level it should be before a story is published. Wikipedia states, “The ‘five Cs” summarize the copy editor’s job: Make the copy clear, correct, concise, complete, and consistent. Copy editors should make it say what it means, and mean what it says.” Isn’t this what we all want?
A good copy editor will look for grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure mistakes. This is the key to not letting your reader get distracted by basic errors. They will also check for consistent verb usage and for the consistency of tone and mood. If something doesn’t make sense or they think your accuracy might be in question, they will point that out as well. A good copy editor will get rid of extraneous or over used words, sharpen your paragraphs to a point and will even delete sections if they don’t make sense or add value to the story. In short, they are the drill sergeants of prose!
There are several things to check before you enter into an agreement with a person to do this job for you. They should have an excellent command of language and be able to spot factual errors. (This means that if they are not familiar with your subject, they will take the time to look something up if they don’t feel it’s accurate.) They should also have good critical thinking skills so they can spot inconsistencies in your manuscript and have good interpersonal skills to communicate their thoughts with you. They should be able to do all of this and still not change your voice and the heart of your book. That’s a tall order.
Check their web site for an editing philosophy, client list, resume, and affiliations with professional groups. If this type of information isn’t on their site, contact them and ask about their work process, rates, time frames and if they have different levels of editing based on what you need there and then. This may sound like a lot of work on your part, but why would you trust your blood, sweat, and tears to a person you didn’t take the time to vet?
A good copy editor should offer to take a few pages as a trial run to see if you are compatible with each other. This protects both sides of the coin. They don’t want to get stuck with a writer who has serious issues and the writer doesn’t want to get stuck with someone who tries to change too much or can’t pick a misspelled word out of a sentence. This trial run should also be done for free or for a small amount of money. The sample should be around five pages so it shouldn’t run into any substantial kind of money. Do not hire someone if they want to change things to the point where your unique voice is unrecognizable. Do not hire the person if you question some of the changes and their response is defensive or cold. Run away as fast as you can. This is a partnership which should be collaborative and supportive. However, by the same token, don’t hire the editor who strokes your ego and only tells you how fantastic you are. They should be honest and willing to offer their authentic insight on how to make your book better
I might want to stroke this writer’s ego!
Once you’ve found the right person, you can expect a written description of the steps involved in the project. This, my friends, is called a contract. Make sure you have one. This way there is no mistaking the expectations on both sides.

Whether we tell ourselves that we want to be published or not is irrelevant. Deep down inside we all want the same thing. Thankfully, there are choices and different paths we can now take to achieve that end goal. I have something for you that will help- a writing contest.
Before you dismiss this because you’re self publishing, or you’re already published in another genre, you better check this out.

MuseTracks Guest – Angela Campbell – Cry Wolf
Hear that? Sounds like the theme song to The Twilight Zone. Or maybe that’s the X-Files. Whatever that strange music is, it’s perfect for today’s special MuseTracks Guest.
Witty romantic suspense author Angela Campbell as joined us to tell us about her quirky writing. And she’s brought us an excerpt of her latest Carina Press contemporary romance CRY WOLF.
Take it away Angela!
Some of the best writing advice I ever received was from a professor at the University of South Carolina, who told me simply, “Write the type of stories you enjoy reading.”
For me, that must mean, “Write weird stuff.”
I’ve always gravitated toward reading books that feature paranormal elements or unusual heroes, heroines or situations. The stranger, the better. When I read the news online each morning, I don’t start with the regular headlines. Oh, no, not me. I go straight to the “news of the weird” link first. I also have a strange sense of humor, so I usually sit snickering at my desk for a while even after I’ve moved onto the regular news.
When I sit down to write fiction, I usually start with a premise most would label as “out there” and try to shape it into something that isn’t, or at least something that seems a little more realistic and fun. My favorite question to ask myself is “what if?”
The book I’m writing now is another unusual one, featuring a pet psychic who gets drawn into protecting two snarky pets and their sexy owner. I’m having so much fun writing it, you have no idea.
My debut novel from Carina Press, “Cry Wolf,” was also ridiculously fun to write, and its reception has been overwhelmingly positive — so I guess I’m not the only one who enjoys reading “weird stuff.”
In “Cry Wolf,” Andrea Lockhart’s job as a reporter for cheesy tabloid The Naked Truth isn’t exactly where she thought her journalism career would end up. She’s determined to make the best of it, but when her editor sends her to Woodbine, South Carolina, to investigate a werewolf sighting, Andrea decides the ridiculous assignment will be her last. Until she meets Sean Hunter.
The last time she saw Sean, he had just beat her out for the position of editor of their college newspaper, and told her she’d never make it as a reporter. Given his grand ambitions, she’s shocked to find him editing the Woodbine Weekly. Once they start competing for leads on the werewolf, Andrea becomes determined to break the story first—she can’t let Sean beat her again.
As they each get closer to finding the source of the rumors, the only thing more surprising than the truth are the feelings Sean is able to stir in her, feelings she thought she had left behind…
EXCERPT / CRY WOLF
Andrea glanced at the man sitting across from her. “You actually keep records on this…werewolf?”
“Yep.” The animal control officer cocked a grin and slid a manila file folder with bold, black writing on it across the desk. The Werewolf Files.
Charles Browder snickered and leaned back in his chair. His voice was heavy with a Southern drawl. “Go on, take a peek if ya want. I doubt there’s anything in there of any real use, but some of it’s plenty interestin’ to read. Probably twenty or more incident reports this year alone.”
She took advantage of his generosity and picked up the folder and its contents. No matter how much she wanted this to be a non-story so she could get out of town tonight, few officials were as accommodating as Mr. Browder. It was at least an hour past his quitting time, but he’d stayed to meet with her instead of rescheduling their appointment. She’d be both rude and a fool not to at least look at the reports he’d compiled.
Andrea despised deliberate rudeness, and she was no fool, despite what those familiar with the publication she wrote for these days might think.
Damn Sean.
Working at The Naked Truth didn’t embarrass her. So why did running into Sean suddenly make her self-conscious about it? Okay, she admitted, working for a tabloid sometimes bothered her. She’d been an award-winning reporter at a large newspaper on the fast track to management. A life time ago. Before the accident. Before Lisa died. Everyone had said it wasn’t Andrea’s fault, that she shouldn’t feel responsible.
Yeah, right. Even now, four years later, Andrea lived with the guilt of her friend’s death. Living with that guilt— living with what had happened, period— had changed Andrea in so many ways.
So, writing for a tabloid wasn’t that bad in the scheme of things. After everything she’d been through, Andrea was simply glad to have a job reporting anything.
Whether you believe in things like werewolves or the Loch Ness Monster or not, I hope you’ll give my novel a chance to entertain you with the possibilities. After all, the best relationships seem to start with “What if…?”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Angela Campbell is an overachiever with a soft spot for men who dress funny. Superman, Charlie Chaplin, Dracula…she loves them all (and don’t get her started on Elvis!). In her spare time, she can usually be found browsing the comic book store or has her rear-end planted somewhere watching Intelligent television (you know – Scooby Doo/Hell’s Kitchen/ Supernatural) or having a profound movie marathon (ah, The Twilight Saga); that is, if she’s not obsessing over a good book! She currently channels all of her enthusiasm and weirdness into blogging and fiction writing. A mild-mannered reporter with almost 15 years experience as a general assignment reporter, features editor and page designer, Angela has also worked as a production assistant on TV shows, small film projects and commercials. She lives in the Southeast with her loyal companion, writing supervisor and furry best friend, Dusti.

MuesTracks Guest – Jessica Lauryn – Dangerous Ally
Diamonds smuggling, a handsome kingpin, and saucy reporter determined to bring him down. Sounds like MuseTracks’ guest Jessica Lauryn has an adventuresome romantic suspense on her hands. And guess what? She’s brought us an excerpt.
Welcome, Jessica!
As both an author and a reader alike, I am drawn by dark heroes, heroes who, though villainous as they may be, are also masters of enticement. In The Pinnacles of Power Series, I’ll introduce five of these men, all villains in and of their own right, each of which is driven strongly by his ambition and greed. In each five edge-of-your-seat stories, we’ll see if these said-villains can come to reform, becoming heroes that their heroines can love.
In Dangerous Ally, the first release in my exciting romantic suspense series, Lucas Ramone, leader of a diamond smuggling operation called Project Gemstone will come head to head with top New York Times Reporter Lilah Benson. Lilah, younger sister of Lucas’s ex-fiancé, swears she has no interest in the handsome, cunning young billionaire and sets out to write the story of a lifetime, which will essentially win her the admiration of all those around her, her father most especially. But Lucas, a practiced con artist, has other ideas. He decides to set a trap for the savvy journalist, playing at her very point of vulnerability. His plan? A steamy, surefire seduction…
Dangerous Ally is a story about temptation, a forbidden attraction between a hero and heroine who, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, ought to hate one another. What man wouldn’t despise the woman responsible for trying to destroy his enterprise, in turn, what woman wouldn’t despise the man who tried to lock her sister into a marriage she didn’t want? But as feelings deepen and stakes rise, Lilah realizes she must turn to her mysterious adversary, even knowing he is a dangerous ally indeed.
Excerpt:
“Lilah, you’re a guest in this room, as well as this house,” Lucas said. “You don’t have to turn down my bed. That’s not why you’re here.”
“No.” She looked at the floor, avoiding his tender gaze. “I’m here 
because of the nightmare, which, I’ve basically put out of my mind. So, I think it’s time I started sleeping in my own room again.”
He came toward her, taking her hands in his. He lowered his voice. “Are you sure that’s what you want?”
Of course it wasn’t what she wanted. Dear God, she wanted him to rip the nightgown from her body and kiss every last inch of her skin! But if she stayed with him another night, that was exactly what was going to happen. She was beginning to forget why it was a bad thing.
“Have I done something to upset you?” Lucas asked, brushing her face with the tips of his fingers.
She shook her head, doing her best to ignore how warm he was making her feel. “Not at all. You’ve been wonderful to me, Lucas. Nicer than any guy’s ever been. I just can’t stay in this room another night. I’m afraid if I do, that I’ll…”
“If you do, that you’ll what?” He tipped her chin, forcing it upward. It was the first time he’d ever been rough with her. Or anything less than gentle for that matter. “You’re afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”
“Of course not. I—”
“Force you to be with me? Coerce you into a marriage and lock you away, like Lena believed I was going to? Maybe I haven’t changed, Lilah, and you saw what you wanted to in me to justify your own feelings. Go ahead. I won’t keep you when it’s obvious you’re no longer comfortable here.”
Her cheeks flamed with anger as she deliberately thought up the meanest thing she could say back. “Maybe you really are the monster everyone says.”
“If that’s true,” Lucas demanded, “then why didn’t it bother you last night? You’ve slept in my bed for two nights, not showing the slightest indication of fear. So why don’t you tell me the real reason you’re reluctant to stay here tonight?”
Lilah was dumbfounded. What could she say? That she couldn’t sleep in the same bed with him because she wanted him so badly it kept her up in the middle of the night? That she thought constantly of touching him, of inching her way against his body, of making the mistake she’d sworn she wouldn’t since the day they’d met?
“Do you think it was easy for me,” Lucas asked, his voice falling to a whisper, “lying next to you the last two nights, knowing you were right there and I could just reach out and touch your soft skin? No other man in his right mind would have undergone that amount of torture. Yet, I behaved like a gentleman. I did that because I care about you.”
His tone grew angered as he released her. “I can’t do it another night. If you stay with me, I won’t hold back. I’m giving you a choice. You can leave right now, and I’ll never pressure you about this again. It’ll be like it never happened.”
Lilah eyed the door, her last chance for escape. The sensible thing to do—the only thing to do—was leave, and never look back. But her legs remained in place. Her body ached with heat at the wicked thought of Lucas touching her, of him kissing her neck and throat, the sensitive spots behind her ears. She was dying for him to hold her against his body, to admire his broad chest. She’d never even seen him without a shirt.
“What are you waiting for?” he asked impatiently.
She took a deep breath. “I’m not leaving,” she said firmly.
“Then you leave me no choice,” he said and pressed his warm, open mouth against hers.
BLURB:
For five lonely years, diamond smuggling kingpin Lucas Ramone has hidden himself from the world. With a father who has baited him all his life, made a game of trying to trip him up at every turn, Lucas will do whatever is necessary to protect what is rightfully his. What he isn’t prepared for is Lilah Benson…
Upon accepting a job in the home of her sister’s maniacal ex-fiancé, reporter Lilah Benson believes she has finally found the perfect way to make her mark on the world. Exposing the criminal endeavors of Lucas Ramone won’t soon be forgotten. But as she comes to know the man who was supposed to be her adversary, Lilah is tempted by a passion far stronger than the desire to see her name in print…
Power and control are tools of survival, critical in a world of thievery and deception. Lilah, an innocent in a land of criminals, may be the one person capable of bringing Lucas to his knees. But Lucas will stop at nothing to keep his empire secure.
He will have it all: His Fortune, His Legacy, and Lilah Benson in his bed…

Dead Babies In A Suitcase
It’s good to have mysteries. It reminds us that there’s more to the world than just making do and having a bit of fun.- Charles De Lint
Good morning Muse Trackers!
I’ve thought quite a bit about The Artists Way especially since our Link Of The Week brought you to a wonderful tool based on one of the exercises found in that book. The premise is that you are to write three pages (preferably handwritten) every morning. The tool that I found creates a platform for you to do it electronically and store your pages to be retrieved when you need them. I was excited that many of you chose to comment and share your own spin on Morning Pages. Based on that, I thought you might like a spark. Give it a try, who knows what might happen
Today I would like to share a story with you. It’s so intriguing and has the bones of a fantastic novel, but it’s real life. Someone once told me that you just can’t make this s*** up- and I believe they’re right. This proves the old saying that truth is stranger than fiction.
Two women made a shocking discovery when they began to clean out their apartment building’s basement. It was full of items left from tenants long gone and forgotten. As they made their way through the piles of stuff, they came across three suitcases obviously left there for decades. The women brushed away years of dust and mildew and flipped the latch on the top two cases. They were empty. Disappointed, they went for the last case on the bottom. No one could have prepared them for what they would find hiding inside the leather luggage.
Stacks of books were neatly set on the left side and on the right side were two doctor’s satchels tightly wedged into the small space. You can imagine their excitement when the books proved to be copies from the 1920s and 30s. Surely, they had found a time capsule from a long ago era. The ladies carefully pulled out both satchels and opened them up. They seemed to be stuffed with newspaper also from that time period. They each took a bundle from the bags and unrolled the ball of paper. One discovered a mummified infant and the other unrolled a fetus about 20 weeks along.
Investigators determined the luggage belonged to Janet M. Barrie who had emigrated to the U.S. from Scotland in the 1920s. She was the home nurse for a Los Angeles dentist and died in 1992. Her belongings had been packed up and stored in the basement- apparently forgotten until these two decided they wanted to clean things up. The cause of death for the babies has not been determined. (I don’t know if the cause of death has ever been determined or not.)
The rest of her belongings did give a slight picture of the women who harbored this grisly secret for so many years. Janet Barrie appeared to have an interest in J.M. Barrie who wrote Peter Pan. There was a copy of the book as well as a membership certificate for the Peter Pan Woodland Club, an upscale resort. They surmise it’s because he was also from Scotland and carried the same initials. They also found postcards from exotic places like Korea and South America sent to Janet bundled together in the case. The mystery deepened when they pulled up a ticket stub from the closing ceremonies of the 1932 Olympics at the L.A. Coliseum
At the time when this article was written, the authorities had tracked down some of Janet Barrie’s relatives living in Canada and were DNA testing the remains of the babies.
If this doesn’t get the writer juices going, I don’t know what would! Why did she keep those bodies all those years? Who are those post cards from? Did she meet someone at the Olympics? Is there more of a connection to the author Barrie? Was she a killer? Did she hide them for the dentist? Are they her babies? Why didn’t any of her relatives claim her belongings? Why? Why? Why?
What is your take on this story? Who is Janet Barrie?
Keep on writing!

The Siren’s Song – Release Par-Tay!
Break open another bottle of rum! Today is the official release party of THE SIREN’S SONG.
What, you say? Another release soiree? Why, yes. Carina Press has published the third book in my Romancing the Pirate series. And if you missed out on the last shindig, here’s your chance to boogie down with me. Besides, is there such a thing as too much partying?
True to my pirate wenching nature, I’ve got booty to share.

The Siren’s Song Blurb:Pirate captain Thayer Drake lures ships onto reefs for plunder, and business is lucrative. Yet, saving a lass from drowning after her ship wrecks becomes more than he bargained for when the crazy wench dives back into the raging sea for her blasted purse.
Tavern songstress Gilly McCoy, penniless and fleeing from the man who murdered her lover, stowed away on the doomed ship. Now at Drake’s mercy, Gilly must earn her passage by performing for the captain. And that is not all: she must also kiss the captain at every ring of the ship’s bell. But she discovers kissing the handsome rogue is not entirely a bad bargain…
Drake is intrigued by the beauty, but there is no room in his black heart for a woman. He has demons that he drinks nightly to forget. Meanwhile, Gilly has her own secrets to keep–including why her purse is more valuable to her than her life…
One of my favorite scenes from the book:
“Sometimes, you must circle your quarry.” He stalked around her, shedding his jacket as he came up behind her and whispered in her ear. “Tease her with the skirmish to come.” Her floral scent wrapped tendrils of desire around his every nerve. He shrugged out of his bandolier and tossed it into a chair. “Don’t raise your flag too soon.” He swept her golden locks aside and kissed the milky white column of her neck. “Leverage is when she doesn’t know what move to expect.”
“What would you do next, Captain?” she whispered. She bit her full puckered bottom lip like a coy and naughty child. But she wasn’t a child. She was a full, blossomed woman. The coy and naughty part was debatable.
“I’d brand her as my own.” Drake stared deep into her eyes before placing a chaste kiss to her luscious lips. Pulling back only a breath, he continued. “But, then, I branded her during my first pass around her bow.”
“Does she surrender?” Gilly whispered against his lips.
“She should.”
“Perhaps she would seek to even the advantage.” She rubbed her hands over his shoulders and gently tugged on his sleeves.
“Having me naked does not give you an advantage.”
“What? No more innuendos?” she asked playfully.
“There is less negotiating when the battle begins. And the battle has begun, love.”
One of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Ah. Rum and a new flintlock.” Henri grinned. “Brings a tear to me eye.”
And yet another:
“Remind me to raise my cup to gluttony tonight,” Drake said.
“No need, Thayer. ’Tis what we toast to every night.”
