Sounds like something got messed up.
Once created the torrent should appear within your client. If you forgot to tick the box "start seeding" then it will say finished, otherwise it will say "seeding"
You could try reloading the torrent:
double-click your torrent file, utorent will ask you where to save it to
choose to save it to the same folder/location where your e-book is
utorrent will see the file already exists and will start verification of the file
once the verify is done it will be seeding in your client
you can then test downloading it with a different torrent client, or from another computer
