A Fortune to be Had in Dead Calm

I can see your future. You are sitting in a room with a credit card in your hand. You’re watching TV. NO! You’re browsing the internet and are on the Level Best Books website, ordering a copy of Dead Calm, the next installment of their annual anthology, due out this fall. NO! You don’t want to share your copy with your friends so you are ordering them their own copy! Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, you will become rich beyond your wildest dreams!*

Okay, I’m not a real fortune teller, but my short story "A Fortune to be Had" will be appearing in Dead Calm, published by Level Best Books. That much is certain. If you want your palm read, Tarot Cards to be consulted, or someone to gaze into a crystal ball, you’ll be shelling out a lot more than the cover price for Dead Calm. I predict that reading crime stories from New England authors will be every bit as entertaining. So it has to be a better value. Right?

Look into my eyes. Get out your credit card. Buy the book. Buy more than one copy and give them out as gifts. And if Level Best Books asks, tell them I put you into the trance that made you do it.
