Before First Contact - Publishing

Last year on this site, I presented a draft for a San Diego history book I've been working on. Since then, I've been rewriting some parts and am now I'd like to try and publish an ebook and audiobook version. The goal is to have it out on Amazon, Audible and a third medium by July 16, 2017, a year from now.
I plan of funding half of this venture and pursuing a kickstarter or Indiegogo. The money will go to copywriting, bar coding, hiring an artist for a book cover and some promotion.
I'm very proud of what I've written. It's not only a great narrative, but it's unique. Most San Diego history book begin with Cabrillo's voyage. Before First Contact begins 200 million years ago and ends with Cabrillo's voyage. Between that is the story of how San Diego's geology, natives, and culture emerged.
It's also the first book in a series of three planned San Diego books:
Book One: Before First Contact
Book Two: Manifest Destiny
Book Three: Frank Augustus Kimball
For a taste of what the book will read like, click here for an example
I'm still smoothing out the plans, but I'm basically going to publish my first history book on something other than my blog. *dances* As for the blog, I plan on refocusing on some more modern San Diego stories that will incorporate old pictures and such. Should be fun! Stay tuned!
