The Cost ...

Well,
Now that somebody brought that subject up, I will give the gory details. It cost me ... about 900 hours at the keyboard, I new keyboard (wore the old one out, mainly the backspace key ...), more than a few late nights, the cost of more than a few bags of coffee ... and $0.00 USD.
Go check out my publisher, http://www.publishamerica.com
They do not ask for your money, they want your book to sell! I found them easy to work with and they are in many big distribution houses including Ingram. Barnes and Noble is their biggest customer.
If anybody needs a publisher, this is the place to go.
Hope this answers a few questions.

In actuality, book #1, "Destiny's Change" is the backstory/prequel(?) to the next book. I actually started the second book first ...  
For those of you looking for it, try Amazon.com or my publisher, PublishAmerica.com
The ISBN number is 1-60474-167-8
My thanks for all of your kind words.
Yes, there is only 1/2 of a chain lock on the door. Our handyman was supposed to fix that in January ...
BTW, F-H.C.A.G. ... I might need a proofer for Destiny's Revenge ...

Watch out! I'm a vicious proofer. 
Be well,
