Since I now have the Honor Flight behind me (What A Flight it was!!!!!!), I'm again thinking of self publishing my stories in a small book. Granted I no longer ride but I still write stories.

I have no idea of the costs or whether anyone will buy the book, especially since I'm no longer in the 'brotherhood' of riding.

 If I do try a book it would be tentatively titled  " Motorcycle Ramblings (and assorted meanderings).

Not looking for a market, jes wondering. Smiley

As usual there is a lot of info. on the internet on how to self publish a book.  Some folks will do it to an e book.  Probably some folks here that can help.    Anyway I think it is a great idea.

Daniel Meyer certainly will have the information you need and at one time was thinking of taking up the publishing side as well as his authorship side of that experience.

If you can do the formatting yourself, check out lulu.com

You create the book body file, a cover, and upload. When someone orders, they print and ship. Magic!

There are plenty of other outfits that do the same...there's no cost except the actual books or any optional services like formatting etc.
