try to find someone for her, but she doesn’t hold out much hope.

Wishing in Wisconsin
Cindy Lambert thought she was done with the small town of Blevins, Wisconsin, but here she is, back in her home town, managing a bed and breakfast and following her grandmother’s dream. The problem is, she’s tired of being alone, and there are no single men for miles that she’s interested in. Plus, with her busy schedule, she has no time to date anyway. When her best friend coerces her into contacting a matchmaker, she decides to make it work for her.
Trey Zayne, a web designer from Texas is sick of his sister constantly trying to set him up with women he has no interest in.

matchmaker, Lachele, to find her perfect man. Patience has never been one of her virtues.
Deputy Sheriff, Bob Anderson, takes one look at Cissie Rivers and knows she’s the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. The only problem is, he can’t seem to approach her. Every time he even thinks about it, his tongue swells in his mouth so he’s certain he’ll start stammering.

Or will she opt out of their marriage after the first year is up?

good doctor’s hands.
Henry Crider has a five year plan, but inheriting his brother’s four year old twin daughters throws the plan all out of whack. He needs a nanny, housekeeper and cook all in one, so he approaches Matchrimony about finding him a bride. He can’t fall in love for at least five years, so he needs to harden his heart. Surely his bride will be happy to be exempt from bedroom duties. When he sees Samara walking down the aisle toward him, he knows that she is what his heart needs. Will he be able to keep his vow of celibacy? Or will they fall for each other despite his plans?

You wrote a book. Now what?

So. You wrote a book. Now, what? It’s a glorious feeling, isn’t it? But is it ready? Is it polished and clean to be published? No? Then, what are you waiting for?

It is always good to have another set of eyes to look over your work. Here’s where a good editor comes in to play. An editor can spot the things you missed when you did your own self-edits:  missing and misspelled words, inconsistencies, plot holes, redundancies and things that you thought made sense, but actually doesn’t.

A good editor will go line by line by line, to ensure that your story flows fluidly. Good editors will make comments on what they think works and not work. A good editor will make suggestions to you, the author, and it’s up to you to either approve or reject those suggestions. It is, after all, your story.

Here at C. M. Wright’s Author Services, we have professional editors that are also authors. So we know what the process of good editing entails to produce the best job possible and help other authors publish polished books.

Self-editing is all well and good, but it is not advised. Whether you are a new author trying to break into the business, or a seasoned published author, one of the most important tools you will need is having a great editor – or editors – under your belt.

Mistakes take the reader away from your story and can result with them putting your book down and never picking it back up; plus, it can cause readers to leave bad reviews. As authors, you want to engage your readers with your story, and having a flawless manuscript ready for publication is your number one priority.

So why not let us help you? We offer low prices on our editing packages and we also offer Proofreading. We even offer a sample edit of your own script. For every manuscript of 25,000 or more words, we’ll edit your first 1000 words for FREE. For every manuscript of less than 25,000 words, we’ll edit your first 500 words for FREE. Any works submitted for this sample must be at least 5000 words.

A war is brewing…which side will you end up on? 

Prayers are no longer sustaining their life and they’ve been issued a challenge. In an effort to survive, the gods and goddesses of Domus have banned together to create the ultimate hybrids with their blood. Loki has been tasked with finding the perfect three humans to sacrifice, with the help of Eris, to their cause. 
Hecate, Fenrir, and Oberon will be the conduits of power so the human vessels can forever be changed. They will then have their own personal armies of fighters and worshippers to help restore the god powers they’re slowly losing. Once the three distinct hybrid protégés are converted, it’s up to them to give the gift to other humans to build up their species. 
With war on the horizon and not much time before the first battle, the Blood of the Ancient Gods must succeed in producing the ultimate supernatural killers with the ability to properly lead their races. And all before Thanatos and his daughter Psyche figure out what the other gods are planning. 
**NOTE: This is the prequel short story to the beginning of the trilogy Blood of the Ancients Gods, which will consist of Blood of the Sacrificed, Blood of the Forgotten, and Blood of the Stolen

WOUNDED by Ben Burgess, Jr.



Wounded by Ben Burgess, Jr.

Samantha Miller didn't have an easy start. Molested as a child and subsequently forced into prostitution by her drug-addicted mother, Samantha learned at an early age that men were not to be trusted. Being constantly preyed upon taught her to be a predator. Her target was women-specifically, straight or married women. As the headliner at a local strip club, Samantha capitalized on the gifts she was cursed with. In turn, her life quickly spiraled down a dangerous path of violence, seduction, and exploitation. When Sasha is brought on as the new bartender, she becomes Samantha's newest target. The last thing Samantha anticipated was falling in love. When tragedy strikes, what was once a challenge may prove to be her downfall. Can Samantha heal from her abusive past, or will she always be Wounded?

Love and Happiness by Ben Burgess, Jr



Karen has it all: a handsome husband, beautiful twin daughters, a lovely home and a great job. Karen also has a secret; she’s cheating on her husband, with not one man, but two. 

On the outside her life seems perfect, but on the inside Karen feels neglected, bored and unappreciated. Yearning for affection and excitement, she falls into the arms of first Raheem and then Tyrell. Out of fear of losing her husband and breaking up her family, Karen ends the affairs but things don’t turn out how she planned. When Karen’s dirty secrets are revealed she must fight to keep her family together. 

Chris is doing all he can to hold his marriage together. He loves Karen but she grows more distant every day. When she starts coming home later and later, he suspects she is being unfaithful. When Chris accidentally takes her cell phone what he finds changes their lives forever. 

When tragedy strikes, Karen must decide if she should sacrifice her happiness for her husband’s love, and Chris wonders if he should stay with Karen because he still loves her despite her infidelity. But if they do stay together, will they ever find love and happiness again? 

Sexy and relatable, insightful and inspiring, Love and Happiness shows us both sides of Chris and Karen's story, and reminds us that sometimes to have it all, you must first lose it all.
