The book title is EndEarthers. It is a six story collection and is now offered for sale at these stores: Apple, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Kobo, and five others.
You can spend a year or even longer writing a book. When you finally get it ready to be read by the public there are dozens of ways to make it available. You can look for an agent and if you connect with one you still might be rejected or else wait for years to get a publisher. Or you can go the free route, as I did. Wherever you look there are people trying to get you to pay them for the work you did. You can spend a great deal of money just for a cover. Or you can do what I did, which was design my own cover. I don't mind if you laugh at it. I love it. I found a publisher that makes its money by publishing for free and then taking a cut of the royalties. This book is a collection of stories that I consider the overall best work I have done.
