Are You The UNKNOWN WRITER?

The Unknown Writer

I’m an unknown writer
Creative as they come
But, there’ll come a day, I dare say
I’ll be a famous one

I’ll write a #1 best-seller
And oh, the riches it will bring
It’ll sell more in every bookstore
Than Grisham, Crichton or King

I know you won’t believe me
And I can’t make you a believer
But, if I don’t believe in myself
No one else will either

Yes, I know it sounds impossible
To reach those heights of fame
And I realize that I may never
Be a household name

But, it doesn’t really matter
If my dreams do or don’t come true
I’m still gonna keep on writing
Because that’s what writers do

Level Best to launch annual anthology at New England Crime Bake

The New England Crime Bake, writer/reader conference will be upon us soon, November 14 through 16. Among the many events being offered, Level Best Books will be launching its latest annual anthology of crime stories by New England authors. This year's anthology is entitled DEADFALL and includes my story, Bagging The Trophy. Also included will be stories by such well known New England writers as Stephen Rogers and the as yet unannounced winner of Crime Bake's annual Al Blanchard Award. DEADFALL will be available for purchase at the conference.



This year's keynote at the conference is Harlan Coburn and will include a sneak preview of the film based on his novel, TELL NO ONE. Serious writers may also want to check out the Master Classes being taught by accomplished New England authors: Hallie Ephron, Peter Abrahams and Gary Braver.



Registration is open to any and all who are interested in the mystery/thriller/true crime genres; but don't delay as the master classes are filling up and the early bird discount expires on October 1. You can register by going to http://crimebake.org/.
