Okay, so there's actually no causal relationship there - the stories are free whether you vote or not.
But give them a look anyway, at
http://stories.osterin.com (check the download section for links to e-book versions).
And then toss a vote for "Blog of the Month" my way at
http://writeblogfiction.com if you can spare a couple of clicks.
Thanks!
