As an Indie writer, learn from other authors and network yourself. Use social media to create a following of readers that will want to read more of your books. I would like to say, learn as much as you can about your craft first. Writing in a specific genre is completely different as your readers are accustomed to reading books in a certain format such as the character and plot outlines, etc. Educate yourself in the entire process of the book industry such as in book formatting, cover design, marketing, promotion etc for your books. Be prepared professionally. Next, you can write till your hearts content and craft the best ever book. Most importantly ensure you get your manuscript professionally edited and then you can plan on the big day to list your book with retailers. There is so much to learn and will only better prepare in your writing career.

I am working on a couple of projects. One ebook I am working on is about my family tree which will be available to all parts of my genealogy. Researching my genealogy has become a passion over the last couple of years ever since my mother passed away in 2013.
Another project I am working on is creating another resource reference ebook for worldwide searches which will be more in depth than my last book.
Most importantly I am working on a fictional historical book WESSEX REIGN, a three part ebook series called 'UNITED ENGLALAND SERIES'. The first book is 'WESSEX REIGN – A FICTIONAL ACCOUNT OF AN ANGLO-SAXON KING’S CHRONICLE' with a planned book release sometime this year in 2019. Writing this book has been ongoing for a couple of years as I have been doing research for the book and on the genealogy of the Kings of Wessex and England.

Researching my family tree with a limited budget I wanted to be frugal. I looked on the web for FREE resources to help me in my searches. This research provided me with a lot of options in researching my ancestors. So I thought why not share what I found so that new genealogists could use these resources. The websites in the ebook is my short list of what resources are available for anyone researching their ancestors.
