It's been awhile since I've written. The new business has kept me busy and writing had stopped. I am happy to announce that I am working on a new project. It is another children's series, "The Adventures of Lynx." The stories are once again based on a real pet with the same unique personality as in the books. Some of the crazy stuff in the stories, he has done in real life. Lynx is a rather unique, and unusual cat.
The first in the series is "Lynx Plays Pretend." He will actually have 2 series versions. The "Junior Edition" is for toddlers and up with mostly pictures and little writing. The second set will have the "Junior Edition" removed and will be a bit more like Freckles, but less writing as her newer books. The illustrator for this series is AJ Wanegar. "The Adventures of Lynx, Junior Edition, Book # 1: Lynx Plays Pretend," will be out sometime in 2019. Sherlock will be in a page in the book.
Freckles' new book is still being worked on. We apologize for it being so slow. We have a new illustrator and I've had writer's block for the last couple of years. Freckles III is doing well and says hi! She has been visiting schools. School visits this year included Nikomis, Drake, Viscount and Hudson Bay. Next year she will be appearing in Weyburn. Freckles and I are available for readings (as will Lynx be once his book is out), by finding our business or my name through the Saskatchewan Writers Guild. Sadly, Boots passed away in July and my daughter took it quite hard.

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted. A new Freckles book is still in the works but it is slow coming. This is my fault. A lot of my time is being spend on the new business and getting it going. My efforts haven't been in vain though and I am getting it moving forward. I've also begun taking some classes online so I am spending a lot of time learning. I just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten about you.

In fact, Freckles and Sherlock have new merchandise out and online through the business website. I also have the books retiring in the systems so that I can put out new editions with better editing. These are slowly coming. Freckles' sixth book is out and on Amazon. Freckles and Stew are doing well as is Sherlock. We are hoping to begin attending events this Spring and by next year, I hope to contact schools for readings once more. I will try to post more regularly and get to updating the websites soon. Thanks for being such loyal fans!

Oh!! One last note. Freckles' book # 5 & 6 will be online soon as e-books. You can pre-order until then. Keep an eye out for them on Barnes & Noble, Apple, etc. The price is $2.99 USD. You can pre-order now on Smashwords. These are the new and edited versions.

Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas retires on the 10th of this month. It will not be returning online with it's new ISBN until after the 15th. This is your last chance to get 1st editions.

We have some new products for sale. I haven't had a chance to put them onto this website though so if you click on the image of what you are interested in then you will be redirected to 4 Paws Games and Publishing's page with the product on it for sale.

We are now taking pre-orders for book # 6. The book is just waiting for some edits which were having issues but should hopefully be online by the end of the month. I am taking orders for the book at a sale price (not sure whether we will keep this price or not). You can buy them online @ 4 Paws Games and Publishing

Retiring a book isn't easy and that is what I am going to be doing. I've already begun the process for book # 5 and will soon retire the others as well. I want the books to be the best that they can be. Part of that was finding a new editor. A new editor isn't going to fix everything though. I want my books to be published in Canada, with a Canadian ISBN because I am from Canada. I want my books to feel Canadian and that is why I decided to retire my books.

They will be online once again soon. I already have ISBNs available for them and they will slowly be removed and released. I will keep updating you on which books are going down. I don't think they will take all of the old reviews and place them on the new books so I will be sure to move them to the reviews page.

This is an exciting time as I start a new company. Unfortunately, it also means my books will slow down for awhile. I know what some may be thinking. It took you a year to get this book out so how much slower can they be? I promise they won't take this long again. I needed time to heal and get used to living in this house once more. I am mostly my old self again and I can write so they will be sooner than this next book was. I haven't forgotten about the other books I was writing either. I plan to fit it all in the best that I can.

Just a friendly reminder that I will be retiring book # 5 at the end of the month to make way for the second edition which will be published through 4 Paws Games and Publishing.

I can't tell you how excited I am right now. For the first time ever, Freckles and I have our first ISBN (published through 4 Paws Games and Publishing). Up until now, we have used CreateSpace's assigned ones. For those who don't know, CreateSpace is in the U.S so this is a Canadian ISBN. I will eventually be taking down other books (retiring them) so that they have a new Canadian ISBN as well under the same publisher. Book 6 will be online within the next week if we are lucky. I will not be ordering books until next month, however I will be taking pre-orders.

I know Freckles' books have been out 3 times a year normally but with a new business going and new books, I think we will be slowing down to 2 for now.

We also have a new editor so books 1 - 5 will be edited as well in time and should look even better than before.

In the meantime, we are just waiting for the last of the edits and for our new ISBNs to come in. Once we have that all in, book 6 will be launching online. We will be taking pre-orders for it as well from the website. You will be able to purchase them off of Amazon.com or here for a signed copy. The next book will begin to be worked on as soon as we can.
