What a wonderful undertaking Doydie. I enjoy the writing in your posts and know that any book that you write would be a great read
.
Here are a couple of possibilities for converting note files to text:
MyScript Memo for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod

Evernote for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

For arranging the text into book format and progressing from there, just search "desk top publishing".
With love, Erika
