During the late 90s I worked with someone who wrote a book - a thriller, set locally as well as in the Far East. I don't mean to put you off, but she had quite a job finding a reputable publisher, eventually getting her book printed in America.
We worked in a big place and most people had said they'd buy a book once she had received a delivery. The books duly arrived and she spent a very happy lunch hour selling most of them. I don't know if she covered her initial financial outlay, including having a professional photograph taken which she said was very pricey.
She moved to another area and I don't know if she has written other books and had them published. I google her name occasionally, but nothing comes up. I think she considered it a tremendous achievement and that may have been enough for her.
