One more reason I love editors

Aside from all the hard work they do to make the books happen, they tend to produce useful comments on the topic of language and grammar. The following example turned up in my newsletter from

block quote start
[Tangent: It *is* "trouper" not "trooper." A trooper is a soldier and they can, indeed, be troupers, but the idea of a real trouper comes from the theatrical world. A trouper performer -- originally a member of traveling "troupe" - who knows the show must go on no matter what. Whatever the circumstances, despite the odds, a real trouper perseveres without complaint.]

I also really want the Wisconsin Badger cap being given away in the contest for

Also note that if you have a manuscrpt in the paranormal romance, urban fantasy, or related genre, Juno Books is looking for submissions.

ETA strike the first 4 words cause I don't know how to use my browser. Huh, didn't see any badger caps (they're thick on the ground round these parts, since the badger is the State Animal), but Devoti does have some suitably gruesome hellhound-silhouette merch at Cafe Press.

Oo, I may have to check that out, I love hellhounds. I wonder if I could get a hellhound t-shirt with the motto "Cerberus is my guide dog"?
