Going "Indie style"

Recently I got back my Author's rights for my first novel that was published by Safkhet Publishing, so the novel, Racing Heart, as it was published is no longer available on any Amazon sites.
I have a faith in my novel. I really do. That's why it was not hard for me to decide to try and self-publish it. 
One thing is very true; Self-publishing is not for the sissies , as one of my fellow authors Lizzie Lamb tells us in her advert for her workshop she will have on 14th of May in The Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre. Unfortunately I cannot attend the workshop myself as I'm just too far away, but I'm sure she has some pretty good stuff to share with us writers.

My novel title was changed by the publisher, with my consent of course, from the one which I initially had titled it. But I decided to return to its initial title and to get a completely different cover too. Those were not tough decision. I know what I want and I’m going to go for it.
But there are so many other different things an author, who decide to self-publish, must decide.
My first decision I had to make was: Do it all yourself or hire people to do it for you?Well, I'm well aware I cannot do everything, so my decision was to hire others, professionals. I decided if I'm going to put my novel back on sale, I'll do it properly.
Inevitably, the work began. And you know what? So far so good. 
The title is fixed. The cover almost ready to be revealed. But... yes, there is always “a but”, give me few more days. I'll definitely reveal it soon enough. Just watch this space.
