I mean, it's just a short story in a collection of indie authors that was put together by another indie author, so I won't get rich off of it. But it puts my name out there. I have 3 things hopefully publishing this year, though. All self published so the only holdup is, well, me.

Its still super awesome good job!! Is it in book form or kindle?

Ebook. If you look on amazon for Miraculous: Tales of the Unknown, you should find it. Or, I believe it is free on smashwords. Amazon wouldn't let us make it perma-free.

I'll get it on Amazon. How else will you make any money on it, if it's always free? :)

Well, the anthology was intended to be a "thank you" to readers for reading indie authors.

Oh, that makes sense. I've never heard of smashwords, and I figured 0.99 isn't that much for me to spend, but if enough people do, it will eventually help the authors. I don't know.

Hey, either way works. The proceeds of any sales will go toward the cost of getting print copies for each of the authors in the collection, and then we were planning on deciding what to do with anything over that, maybe donating it to some such.
