Just passing this along <i>Dear Collective2 User: You may remember me as the founder of Collective2, a trading Web site. But today I'm writing to you not as a trader, and not as a computer programmer. Today I'm writing to you as a novelist. My first book, called CON ED, is about to be published by Warner Books. I want to tell you about it. Nice reviews ------------- CON ED has received great advance reviews: *Booklist called it: "A brisk, clever, and charming page-turner... CON ED is a winner, and crime fans should remember the name Matthew Klein." * Kirkus Reviews said: "Pitch-perfect... A propulsive, noirish tale." * Library Journal wrote: "Enough twists and turns to keep the reader firmly engaged and totally surprised at the end. CON ED is slick, clever, and thoroughly entertaining.â So: if you like twisty suspense novels and funny characters, you'll love CON ED. Please help ------------- Despite the good reviews, I'm facing a huge challenge. Because I'm a first-time author, no one has heard of me, except my family. (And even they sometimes look at me with a puzzled expression when I wake up and say "Good morning.") That's why I am writing and asking for your help. Can I ask you to please walk into your local bookstore and request a copy of Con Ed? Even better, why not order a copy right now at Amazon.com or BN.com? Here are the links: Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446579556?ie=UTF8&tag=matthewklein-20 BN.com http://service.bfast.com/bfast/click?bfmid=2181&sourceid=41646199&bfpid=0446579556&bfmtype=book If you buy CON ED, not only will you be helping a first-time author; you'll also acquire a book which I'm sure you will enjoy. Finally, after you've had a chance to read Con Ed, please take a moment to write me and tell me what you think of the novel! Best regards, Matthew Klein Author of Con Ed Founder of Collective2.com</I>
Surf, do you have a photo of you and M. Klein that you can post? Like the one you posted of you and N. Taleb? I need it for the MySpace page. Thanks, Emilio
