Welcome to SheWrites.
I self-published the historical mystery I had written 20 years earlier in 2009, and it was so successful I was able to move from semi-retired to fully retired, and dedicate my time to writing the sequel, which should be out in 2 weeks.
Do feel free to ask questions as you go through the publishing and indie author process. I did detail my journey in my early blog posts, if you are interested.
