Is it allowed for an author to write a hubpage about his own book?
I don't see how it could be a problem if it was written as a review. However, I am not familiar with a specific policy that would pertain to this on HP. Your member name here is probably different the the author name you used, so most would see it as an individual review I would think.
There are many authors here who write previews about their books. I really do not think that there should be a problem, provided what you write does not seem overly promotional. IMHO
Well I wrote three reviews about my Step Dad's books (one on each book), and when the problem where his bio caused a duplicate content trigger (twice) came up, I simply emailed the team and explained. They were fine about it and republished the hubs without any issue. Clearly they had no problem with it being a family member, so I am guessing your own book would be no different.

I started a new Hub, https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Opra … rit-Guide, but it will not let me do anything with it. I cannot add capsules, add a summary, add text, or add photos. I can edit my old Hubs, however (I checked to see if it was a system wide problem).

Is it okay for me to write a hub introducing my new cooking website, as long as I don't include more than two links to the site?

I would like to make a suggestion to the TEAM here on HUB Pages. I feel that it would be a positive improvement here on the HUB, if all of the activity that is perpetuated by Hubbers, were made known.For instance... apparently - anyone can go around giving thumbs UP or DOWN to a fellow...
