I haven't found a publisher yet, but I'm told you're an excellent copy editor, and I'd like to iron out some of the rough spots before I submit it to agents or editors. May I send you the manuscript to work on, as well as some "backup materials" so you'll get the flavor of the story? Sincerely, Hannibal Lecter Dear Ms. Hoak,

My astoundingly camp boss made lewd comments about where I was off to, which amused me at the time, but now makes me cringe!

The story notes that happened with several of the body-part packages, so I wouldn't be surprised. :-) Rose, have you had the same problem with DHL that I’ve had–that packages arrive ripped open?

I despised them back when they were Airborne Express. This incident does not in the least surprise me, though the details are quite entertaining. "This is strange, it looks like a liver." Heh.
