Best Seller
written by: Verity Mason
When the Angel of Death knocked on my door, I let him in.
“Hey buddy, you’re gonna win the contest.”
Death’s unblinking, saffron eyes followed me.

A primal warning skittered up my spine. “Yes.”
Death placed the novel into my hands. I turned the pages of my best seller, absorbing the words I’d never written.
The weight of the pen distorted my signature, Endeavour Black.
With the deal struck, I knew when the last book was sold, he would collect.
I needed to find a new publisher.
