I am now an anthologized author

Story Sanctum, the online magazine that published my short story Kanazawa in the Rain las summer, has included it in the organization's third anthology of fiction and nonfiction, Tales from the Vault. 

Because I am not the most disinterested reviewer of the book, let me quote from the Amazon listing (which also is not entirely disinterested. "Inside these pages, you will find a rich anthology of stories designed to speak to your heart, mind, and soul. These tales were taken from our vault of fiction and nonfiction stories. They represent some of our favorite stories from the past year.

"Story Sanctum is a shrine for sacred storytelling. We curate compelling fiction and nonfiction stories with a clear point of view that captures the truth and beauty, sacredness and strangeness, heartbreak, horror, and hope of the human condition. For us, sacredness transcends any one religion and does not have to be religious at all. Our stories honor the sacredness of life found in the human experience. The viewpoints of the writers are their own, but they give us unique insights into their lives and our shared human experience."

The anthology contains 36 short stories and 16 nonfiction works, so a bargain at $15.25. Story Sanctum's cofounder, editor, and contributor Shawn Casselberry writes, "We priced the book as low as we could to make it affordable as presents for the holiday. Any proceeds made will go to pay our monthly writers and/or promote their writing to keep the stories going!" 

At under 39¢ a story how can you go wrong? Especially when I know my story alone is worth at least $1.98.
