We had a problem with the book review system a couple of days ago. I guess Createspace corrected it, however, I hadn't realized that they had re-set everything. I had to re-submit the book. It is now out and online. For those unaware, Amazon takes between 5 - 7 days to list the books. This is where Createspace is handy. The link will be posted on the books page shortly and we will be taking pre-orders for signed copies now.

As you may know, the Bruno Cherry Festival is coming up and I will be reading in the afternoon. As well, Freckles, Stew and I will be present at a table with books and other items for sale. The festival is Sunday, August 18, 2013.

Freckles' Blog has been nominated for a blog award. Thank you Deanie Humphrys-Dunne for the nomination!

A bunch of news to share, a few changes and mostly new products.
1. Changes:
A.) We are updating the sites sales page so that the books have their own page as we are adding new merchandise. Some of the products are still available but have no photos yet as I need to update them with the newer versions. They will be up soon.

B.) As of now, we will no longer be "holding" books for anyone. I have lost a couple of sales due to waiting for someone to purchase first copies as they requested, only to have them not pay for them two months in a row. If you want copies, you will need to pay for them up front as I will not hold any copies for anyone.

C.) We are going to be taking pre-orders from here on. This means that once the preview is out, books can be payed for ahead of time if you are buying signed copies. Payments are through Paypal, certified check or money order.

2. News:
A.) T-shirts are priced as follows $20 for all t-shirts except 2XL and 3XL. These two sizes are $22. Taking orders now while supplies last!

B.) Don't forget about the contest for a free copy of the book! Two days left to enter.

3. New Merchandise:
A.) Place your pet in one of the books! We are offering two sets of packages which allow you or a family member to have your pet drawn into the books. Included in the price is a signed copy of the book, which will be mailed out to you once they are complete. The options vary depending on the package (see the notes or website for details) but a character will be drawn of your pet, the pet's real photo will be placed in the back of the book as well as a bit of info about the animal. This is a great way to remember your beloved pet and immortalize the one that passed away.

B.) We will be doing character drawings of your pet (not placed in a book, just printed on Kodak paper) and mailed out to you for $20.

C.) Signed 6 x 8 photos of Vickianne and Freckles for $5 (S&H not included). Anastasia will do up hers when she returns from holidays.

You can find all of these on our website! Any questions, please feel free to contact me!
