Just released, another multi-millionaire added to the ranks from self published books on Amazon. Today we have an interview with Veronica Jennings McCarthy who just published her 110th book on Amazon. Mrs. McCarthy, how does it feel to have that many titles selling on Amazon?
(Mrs. McCarthy) It feels amazing! I had this goal and I knew it would be a lot of work but I was really inspired to get this message out to parents. You really can teach your child to read on your own with no background in education. Parents are intimidated by the thought of teaching their children to read. But they shouldn’t be. Reading Blocks: A Step By Step Method to Teach Reading gives them all the tools they need to do this successfully!
The one hundred books on Kindle idea came about because I wanted to make this reading program easily and affordably accessible to all parents!
The Reading Blocks program consists of 32 blocks or chapters. You start at Block 1 and take as much time as your child needs to complete. Then you move on to Block 2 and complete that set of information. You continue to move along the blocks by doing one block at a time. This is how you can systematically build a fluent reader easily and affordable!
I put the whole program into one book for people who just want the whole program at once. But I thought some people would like to only buy a couple of the blocks so I added each block as a separate book. That made 32 books on Kindle.
I know from teaching thousands of kids to read over the years that they like to hold the decodable readers in their hands when they are leaning to read. They want the feel of being able to read a whole book. Each Block has 1 decodable reader as part of the block. So by putting each of the decodable reader books into separate small books that puts 32 more books on Kindle.
Then I found that 1 decodable reader per block wasn’t enough. The kids and parents were asking for more decodable books for each block. So, that led to 32 more decodable books. That brought my total to 97 books counting the big Reading Blocks program.
I already wrote and published 3 best selling children’s books so when I added them to Kindle I had a total of 100 children’s books on Kindle. The process just seemed to take on a life of its own and was so much fun to complete!
(Reporter) I hear that you are also an avid sailor. Did you always sail?
(Mrs. McCarthy) Actually, I started sailing in 2023. I always wanted to sail but it wasn’t until I bought my first 36 foot Ketch sailboat that I really started to sail seriously. Now I love to sail to my log cabin which is on Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. I can work right from my boat anywhere in the world. Life doesn’t get any better than that!
(Reporter) Well there you have it folks! That’s how another multi-millionaire came about from Kindle books!
