add child to book rule

I am setting up a site where the user will create a book from a link located in a side menu block titled " add book". Clicking on the link will open a content type that has a form I want the user to fill out. I am using fields provided in Drupal 7 to create the form. When they click on save the new book gets created using the module book made simple and it is added to a book block visible in the side menu. What I need to do is also create child pages under this new book.

I am creating a number of rules using the Rules module so that when an answer is selected in a field located in the main form a new node is created from a second content type. I created the content type and I was able to successfully test to see that I am able to create this new node automatically when a specific answer is given in one of the fields. However it does not appear as a child under the book automatically. I need to search in the content list and find the node then manually open and edit it to select and put it in the book. Then it appears under the book in the menu block as a child.

I actually want to add 5 to 25 child pages in the new book depending on the answers given in the form. Ideally I would like to add an action to the rule that will automatically create a new child under the book being created.

I am not really sure how to create a module to do this. However I am fairly sure it will involve the following:

1. Identifying the right book to add the child to. .. probably comparing a time stamp for the current user or pointing to the last book on the list.

2. Changing the node type to a child under the specific book selected....I have no idea how this is configured.

I bought a book to help me develop a new module. Drupal 7 module development I am willing to try to create a new module (my first). I just need someone with more experience to help me with the configuration and the how too`s.

Anyone interested in helping me and becoming a co-author?

Thanks,
