Flat fee to send an ad out to their email/readership list.

They list it on the site but $320.00 I think for the .com (usa), another 20 buck for .ca (canada) and another 80 buck for .co.uk (england great britain area)  I only did amazon but I see guys on kboards using barnes and noble, amazon, kobi etc.

Set In Stone chapter 18 has been posted.  Roughly 7100 words.  Total up to 115k words.

I also wrote an original short story that was 6k words or so, in response to a short story anthology submission request.  The story was turned down with no reason explaining why.  Is it common for editors to not even bother to give any reason at all for refusing a story submission?
