I'd wait until you had 10 to 12 Stories, just seems/feels like a better nubmer.As far as the .99 or Free thing, it kind of depends what you're trying to use the Book for If you want to use it as what I call a Shoehorn , a term I created a while ago, which basically means it's designed to get people in the door so to speak, and then see if perhaps they Buy one of your Novels Etc.I wouldn't worry about weather you Charge for it or not, meaning if your Main Focus as a Writer is Novels/Children's Books Etc., than using your Short Stories as a Shoe Horn to expose people to your Writing in General, isn't such a bad thing At least in my mind.In a certain way, that's what Blogs could often be considered, when Writers, Photographers Etc. Post their actual work on a Blog Mass Exposure, but we're not Charging People to Look or Read it And if at some point I decide, like I'm now considering with my Poetry Book, to actually Publish it, then at that point some Revenue might be Created Or I may just Write something Completely Different than anything I've Written thus far, and simply let my Fan Base know that I have Or, in my case, I may develop a Fan Base, but simply Self Publish and get my Books into a Local Book Store that has recently Reopened, and sell them there.Weather anyone who ever visits my Blog actually ever purchases anything I ever Publish isn't all that important, as I may generate my Revenue from people that go to this Book Store, or others should I get it into more Book Stores.But in my opinion, the more that Read your Work, the Better Not only does it give you Exposure, but in my Opinion it potentially instills Confidence within yourself, which is an inherently viable thing, in the pursuit of any given career.Good LuckDarkJade-
