Happy Birthday Findlay Books!
Findlay Books has been publishing children's ebooks for a whole year now! And with our first birthday here we have a few birthday celebrations going on for all of our readers. A Kindle Fire HD Tablet loaded with all 60 of Joy Findlay's ebooks worth over $350USD is up for grabs. Enter here www.findlaybooks.com
And for all our wonderful kiddie readers, we have a colouring competition. Petal the Owl and Rocket Boy colouring pages can be downloaded from our website. Colour them in, scan them and email them back to us at info@findlaybooks.com. The best pages will receive a USB drive with all 60 ebooks by Joy Findlay worth $110!
With over 150,000 downloads of all of our kids ebooks in the last year it is definitely something to celebrate. All those ebooks have ended up in over 36 countries on all the continents! [Ed: well, we haven't had any confirmed sales in Antarctica...] Not bad for a couple of Kiwis from Down Under!
What an amazing year it has been too! I've learned four new programmes for writing and illustrating, and formatting the ebooks. I've had to learn basic accounting and taxes for our small business. Because I live in New Zealand, I've also had to learn about foreign currency accounts and banking internationally. I've had to open a Twitter account – something I vowed I'd never do. I now have a Google+ and Facebook business page, a blog and have completed five or six online interviews and one for the local paper... what can I say, it's been an amazing year!
So please, we'd love to hear from you all and how reading our books has been for you and your precious children. Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/findlaybooks, and on Twitter www.twitter.com/findlaybooks and Google+ https://plus.google.com/1046096031691....
Thank you all for making our first year an amazing year! Happy Birthday Findlay Books!

I had the privilege of being interviewed by David Chuka, another fantastic author on the Amazon.com Kindle Store. He asked me some wonderful questions and I enjoyed answering them so very much. The full interview has been published at David’s blog. His opening to the interview blew me away – ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a lady who is one of the most recognisable children’s book authors on the Amazon store. She has about 60 …yes, I didn’t make an error…60 published books on the Amazon store.’ It really made my day! Without further ado. . . .
Which of your books have you enjoyed writing the most?
I have written a few stories and poems about New Zealand beaches and New Zealand bush and wildlife. I am still trying to figure out how best to illustrate these as I don’t think my skills are good enough! :o) But my current favourite is definitely ‘Pixie Courage’.
What is the process from when you get an idea for a book to the point it gets published?
Actually the process is different with each project. It usually starts with an idea that I throw at my husband, Bevan. Laughter ensues if it works and the idea morphs into a story, or it doesn’t work and it gets written down in my ‘ideas notebook’ for another day. Writing can take a few days to a few weeks, remember these are just short stories, no longer than 32 pages long. Then my hubby edits, I get beta readers to critique the story, and I continue to work on it until we are all happy that the story works. I then hunt the net for inspiration for design ideas, take those ideas and create an illustrated character and the backdrop for the world of the story. From there it takes weeks for the story and illustrations to form into a book and with the help of my genius technical team (aka my hubby again) the book is formatted for publishing. Units are sent to anyone who wants pre-promo release copy for review. Once all the publishing issues are finalized like getting the book into the correct categories in the Kindle Store, then it is promoted and sold. Heaps of fun!
What was the last children’s book you read and what was it about?
The ‘Life-Size Guide to Insects and Other Land Invertebrates of New Zealand’. What a giggle! I’ve been exploring bugs and spiders and wetas and praying mantis and cicada with the kids. They give me the shivers, but my son is fascinated with all things creepy crawly and my daughter just squeals at the pictures of spiders and wetas. Actually we found a BIG weta on the footpath on our way home from school two days ago and the book came in real handy for learning all about that huge insect! [A weta is a large forest- and cave-dwelling insect unique to New Zealand – look it up, as they are quite impressive.]
Have your children inspired any of the characters you’ve written about?
My son Zachy gave me the name Majory for the Queen in ‘Pixie Courage’. I have no idea where he’d heard the name before but it worked so well. Kiara’s plush toy owl was the inspiration for my Petal the Owl series. Wanting to show Zachy, my son, all the amazing images of space from NASA’s websites was what lead to the ‘Rocket Boy Adventure Series’ and subsequently the ‘Rocket Boy My First Reader’ series. They come in really handy for inspiration. I think my next book might be about bugs and spiders and other creepy crawlies, just because they seem so interested in them at the moment!
What are your best memories from your childhood?
Reading the ‘Wizard of Oz’ with my father on the lounge-room couch. He’d always fall asleep and I’d have to nudge him awake because it was my fav book! He also taught me about the stars. After a scary nightmare he’d come into my room and settle me, teaching me about the stars. Now that I think about it, that may be where I got my love of space from – huh, you learn something new every day!
What do you love best about living in New Zealand?
Not the bugs! Hahaha. I love New Zealand. It will always be home, no matter where in the world we end up one day. New Zealand definitely has its own culture, its own style, its own humour as you can probably guess. But its people, its land, its beauty, its shores, its sense of importance in the world, and its ‘No8 Wire’ attitude – or kiwi ingenuity – these are the things that I love the most about our beautiful country.
Thank you David, and please do go and check out his books on Amazon, they are really funny to read!

February 2013
It's summer here in New Zealand, and as school finally starts up again after a couple of months' holiday, so too do all of our weekly activities. I have been asked to talk to my local mum's play group about home based enterprise and digital content for children – something that my business hits on completely. Interestingly enough, I was email interviewed on a similar topic by fellow children's book author and reporter from the states, Jeff Rivera of www.JeffRivera.com. Here is a question-and-answer session I had with him. Enjoy!
Why kids books?
I have been a stay-at-home mum for the last five years with two gorgeous kids. Being mostly house-bound for that long tends to make one a little nutty. This was a huge change from a career in TV and video production where I thrived as an editor and educator. I had a ‘life,’ a title, a job, an income separate to my husband's. It was scary thinking that this might be all I'll ever be – a ‘stay-at-home-mum.’ What contribution did I give to society? What financial contribution did I offer my own household? It was a crazy first four years trying to figure it all out. Scary how things can change so drastically. One minute I'm editing video at a computer, the next I'm holding this crying, pooping bundle in my arms, wondering how life could change any greater than this.
Five years, at home, not one but two crying, pooping bundles... And don't get me started on the household destructive abilities they have! No ‘off’ button either – learned that one the hard way.
In the mean time I had to entertain myself didn't I? Reading constantly to my two squidlettes only leads to dancing and singing and making up our own stories and what fun we have had! What began as a simple thought – ‘Hey, I could write some of these down’ – became a small home business that fits in amazingly well with family life.
It was by accident that I came across this plan. I had been given a new tablet and was trying to find digital content for the kids and realised how popular ebooks for kids were becoming and just how easy it was to make and sell them myself. That is when Findlay Books was born!
You describe yourself as a full-time mother, is that an asset to you as a kids book author?
What mother doesn't know what their kids love to read? What mother doesn't want to give their kids the best in life, an education, a love for adventure, a sense of self-worth, the ability to stop picking their noses? These were the motivations behind writing every book that I have published. Each and every one of them was written with my two squidlettes in mind.
Having a home based business also works in really well with children in the home. I am home when they are, I can give them attention when needed, and I can plonk them down with their ebooks for a while. I swear they are more tech-savvy than me now!
You seem to have a million books out. How are you so prolific with juggling being a mom at the same time?
Time management is a powerful tool! Especially with kids in tow. It also helped that my husband was away from home for the first eight months of the year we started. Evenings were full of illustrating and writing and snoring kids!
Do you ever read your books to your kids beforehand and has there ever been a time when they said they didn't like something? Did that affect the changes you made in the book?
It's been so much fun finding what works for my kids, and what doesn't. I often ask them for inspiration for my latest books. A name here, a process there – for example, my daughter decided that the tea party needed the tea and milk, not just the tea – she's cute and bossy! [Ed: no idea where she would get that from! - Bevan] So now my Fairy in my Pocket book (out soon) has the two girls having tea and milk in their tea cups. It made sense to my 3-year-old, so I only figure that it makes sense to other 3-year-old girls out there in the world too!

After the success of ebook sales in December 2012, it shouldn't have been a surprise to be contact by a reporter from the local paper. I thought initially he was interested in my ebook business, but it turns out he was after an interview for a completely different topic! My photo ended up in the paper in an article on crowdfunding – of all things – with Petal the Owl on my tablet. It was fun talking to the reporter and photographer about the success of my small ebook business. I think this year is going to be full of lovely surprises!
December 2012
Wow, who knew parents were so keen on getting their kids digital devices for Christmas? Apparently a lot! What an amazing month December has been for us here at Findlay Books this year. We had over 31,000 ebooks distributed to digital devices over the month of December, our record yet! Thank you to everyone who made it such a success. Parents, grand-parents, aunties, uncles, friends and families: everyone who bought digital content for their children's ereaders and ebook devices.
Petal's First Winter hit number one on the Baby-3 category Christmas Eve and continued to thrive as popular children's ebook over December. It was very exciting reading the positive reviews for our most popular ebook.
What a fantastic way to end the year!

Rocket Boy at the Auckland Stardome
Today we took ‘Rocket Boy’ and his little sister to Stardome, Auckland City’s Observatory. He had such a great time learning more about the planets and the Earth in an animated programme called ‘Tilt’, which taught about the seasons on Earth. ‘Rocket Boy’ loved the hands-on experiences that the Observatory had on offer, especially the vortex display and the meteorite display.
It has been my pleasure as a wannabe Astro-Geek and Mother of two pre-schoolers to write and design books that teach about our Solar System and the planets, astro-objects and the Sun that make it up. I loved the pictures from the NASA website so very much that I had to continue the series to include a book on Stars and another on Nebulae. The pictures from NASA are amazing, and paint our universe in a very colourful and beautiful light!
With the completion of Findlay Book’s vanguard book series, I jumped at the chance to take ‘Rocket Boy’ to our country’s biggest Observatory at the foot of Auckland’s One Tree Hill. It boasts of one of New Zealand’s largest telescopes, and a planetarium that projected the planets and stars on its circular ceiling. Lying back in comfy chairs watching this amazing display, I know both my kids loved every minute of it. ‘Rocket Boy’ is now saying he wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. So very cute! I haven’t the heart to tell him that our small country doesn’t have a space exploration programme here yet.
So if you haven’t had a chance to check out all of our Rocket Boy books, both the My First Reader Series (Basic Concept Books) and the Adventure Series, you can now buy them as book sets from Amazon for $4.99 per set. Please do check out all four book sets and let us know what you think of them. Any review on Amazon would be much appreciated.

That’s all from me this month, I hope to hear from more of you on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/findlaybooks as this is a great forum to let us know how much you like our books. So from us to you all, have a lovely time reading Stories for the next Generation.

Wow, its been an amazing two plus months here at Findlay Books! Not only have we self-published 29+ ebooks on Amazon for Kindle, we have set up a website (this one), a facebook page (www.facebook.com/findlaybooks), a twitter account (https://twitter.com/#!/FindlayBooks) which, by the way I never wanted to start on, and we have had so much encouragement from so many people, friends and family, and others we do not know – it has been amazing.
It’s been a steep learning curve too. I've had to learn so many things, like: 1) three new programs – desktop publishing, document, and HTML editor; 2) Facebook business page and Twitter; 3) publishing to Amazon – which includes correct formatting of each ebook; 4) royalty payments and international tax information; and 5) I had to learn which of my gorgeous ebooks actually sell, and which don’t sell so well. Amazingly, my Rocket Boy ebooks, both series, didn’t sell that well to begin with, and much to my disappointment I must admit. I loved those books so very much, but it appears that not every mum and dad out there is as much an astrogeek as I am, I guess. Although I have to admit, the Venus Transit event that took place earlier this month boosted my Rocket Boy book sales almost 200%! Crazy, I know.
Tip and advice for new ebook authors out there:
Find a fantastic editor – and not just someone who is good with words, but someone who can tell you if a page/story/illustration doesn’t work. My editor is fantastic, and I'm not just saying that, because he is also my HTML editor, technical advisor, computer technician and husband!
Not everyone is going to love your ebooks like you do. And a few nasty reviews is a given if you are going to put your creative work out there publically. Take it in stride and respond with grace and humour. For some idiots out there... well that is all you can do really.
Find a group of writers and/or illustrators who can give you much-needed advice on your writing. They come in really handy when you want to see if your work really is worth the hours you are putting in.
Don’t forget to research all the legal stuff before you publish your work. Images have to be copyright-free or you will need wirtten permission to use them. Tax information is hard to come by if you live outside the States. Whether to publish DRM free or not – well I'm still fuzzy on that question, but my hubby is certain that its better for all to not get sticky with the DRM stuff. [Ed note: DRM is probably blog-post-worthy in itself. Generally though: avoid it.]
Formatting – well that is just a pain in the rear end if you don’t know what you are doing. There are style guides and getting-started guides out there that help with how to format your ebook for publishing, but you basically need to either upload a .DOC file, or, in the case of Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, a .MOBI file will work too (that is where my amazing hubby comes in!) [Ed note: there is a Kindle MOBI converter, if you’re savvy with HTML and the command line, or willing to learn them, which is not as hard as it sounds.] But basically, formatting an ebook is different from formatting for traditional paper-back publishing – for one, ebooks don’t have page numbers!
If you are interested in learning more about getting started in the area of self-publishing/ebook publishing/indie publishing, feel free to email me at info@findlaybooks.com. I would be most happy to help answer questions you may have, if I am able.
So, from one newbie ebook author Mama to another, have fun out there!
