Back in 2011, I took my first step into the world of indie publishing with JORDAN'S RETURN.  To be honest, I had gotten many, many, MANY rejections on it from publishers and agents and that's what prompted me to give self publishing a try.  So I did the research and learned how to format and put it out there for the world to read.
