   Well HubPages friends, I finally wrote my book, "Seasons Change, So Can You." While surfing the Net, I saw it in a Barnes and Nobles ad. By the way I acknowledged HubPages in the acknowledgement section.

   That's great! I've got two tiny ebooks on Kindle, and "heavier" ebooks in the works. It's almost surreal to know you actually have a book out in the world that people will see and read for years to come. I wish you much success!

   Thanks guys! I also noticed that's it's translated into several languages. I saw French, German, Malaysia, Chinese, I think   Russian. I did Google Books, and checked under Indie books. Now let's hope I can make money,

         Thanks Writer Fox. I've started one, but my computer won't cooperate. It's doing some crazy jumping around thing, and it interupts my flow. Just waiting until I get it fixed or  a new one.

            I hate computer problems!  I really do hope you write a Hub about your publishing experience.  Who did the translations for you?

               The publishers did it. I Published with LifeRich, a division of Readers Digest. By the way it is Print On Demand.

                  Wow, that's a big investment to make.  I assumed you had published  free through Smashwords or Amazon or Lulu, but what you've done is a really big step.   I hope it does well for you.

                     Oh no, my investment was not that big at all, nowhere near what it might seem. I didn't go for the big package. I actually see a return on my investment within the first month.

      Thanks MsLizzy, I tried that but my arms are too short. Gonna wait until royalties begin rolling in, then maybe my arms will grow.
