This is a blog post to thank those kind souls who have contributed to my Indiegogo campaign, which is raising money to market my debut short-story collection, JUSTICE, INC.

The book is being published by Monkey Puzzle Press, a small press that does not have a budget for things like advance-reading copies, advertising, postcards, bookstore fees, or a book tour. Without marketing, your book basically just sits on the shelf and gathers dust. This is the nature of publishing in the modern age. No one can do it alone. Thank you, everyone. This book literally (get it?) would not be possible without you.

We raised $3,745!
