From single volume to series

It seems an eternity since I finished the first draft of my first book, yet there is so much to do before publishing! Of course there needs to be proof reading/editing and beta reading, but one of the exciting (and time consuming) things was that the first story turned into a series of three. After all, there were three strong female charatcers, and I wanted to write each of their stories... I was not keen to publish one before I had at least drafted all three as the links between them might need to be developed. And so now I have three books, edited, proof-read, poured over. Just need to go the next step to PUBLISH!
