"Champaign" was not my editors' fault
by Rebecca Mance on 08/23/12No, it was not the fault of my editors that I had "Champaign" (really champagne!)wrong in Misty Bluegrass. The two that did the page edits told me....but I was stubborn...remembering that real "Champaign" came from a region of France (and I am learning French so I am fixed on this notion) and spell check didn't like their versions....just forgot to follow up and chase it down before publishing.....anyway, I have decided that my characters would probably drink American "Sparkling Wine"...so it was my omin to change this. I had in mind my two places in Napa, California I love....Chandon and of course Mumms (Mumms M Cuvee!) Yum. I probably spelled that wrong too! Anyway, my editors are the best, it was my fault I didn't heed their advice without question.
