Absolutely! I think we all have to stop at some point and seriously think about what we want out of my writing, and what’s the best way to get there.

I feel much the same. I was seriously tempted after each of the last books to try again for a traditional deal, just to get that credential, but I recently took stock of where I was as an author and decided I really had no complaints. Indie publishing suits my temperament and the kinds of books I want to write, and it’s even made me some money. I recently sold audio rights on the first book, only because it’s selling well enough to interest a mainstream audio publisher. You’re already ahead of the game with a prestigious award under your belt! You also have a nicely targeted niche. Get some targeted advertising going, and you may find your foreign prospects are not nearly as dim as those agents told you.
