This will probably be the last posting for the weekend! If you are in Regina, Saskatchewan this weekend then be sure to stop by the Saskatchewan Writers Guild's table. I will be there on Sunday from 1 - 4PM. The animals will not be present but I will have their books. I will also be taking orders. Hope to see you there!

Lastly, just an update on the e-books. I am still working on formatting the other books so that they are available as well. In the meantime, book # 1 of Sherlock and Freckles is available and listed at the following places:
1. Barnes and Noble
2. Smashwords
3. Apple (Buy through Itunes)
4. Scribd
5. Versent Books
6. Flipkart (so far only one is listed)

Other locations are still coming!
A new page has been added and I have been updating them daily as I find my books in their search engines. There are a few that don't share their book listings, in which case I have listed them. If you see these and are a member but the books are not there, be patient as they are on their way.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Very excited to announce that I will be at Regina Fan Expo on Sunday, May 4th, 2014 from 1 - 4PM. You can find me at the Saskatchewan Writers Guild's booth! Follow the link below for details on the main event, location, cost and hours.

I was not expecting to attend and have been spending much needed time on catching up on work so I have limited books. I will be taking pre-orders though and selling what I do have. Come early!

Unfortunately, neither Freckles nor Sherlock will be able to attend. I hope to see you there and a very big thank you to the Saskatchewan Writers Guild for having us!

Another late find! :( Seems they were not all posting!

SHERLOCK NEWS:

Sherlock Book Update and Problems

We had some issues with pages being missing in the book. It is currently unavailable for purchase. Unfortunately, so are my copies until new ones come in. You can still pre-order though! I am now having troubles with Createspaces upload system which apparently doesn't like the series title inside the first page cover. This is being worked out and it will all hopefully be online soon. I will be sure to let you know! I will be sure to update you on the status though they've told me it could be a few business days. 

Sherlock Contest Winner

The contest date has come to a close! The winner of a free copy of Sherlock's book is found on Sherlock's Facebook fan page. Congratulations! I will be sending you out a signed copy as soon as I get the new ones in.

Sherlock Merchandise

I am currently working on putting together some Sherlock merchandise so keep an eye out on the website and his fan page!

Rescues and the Books

Lastly, we are pleased to have the help of some rescues that are willing to share their knowledge with me for researching the next Sherlock book. A special thanks goes out to:
Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary and Berkshire Reptile Rescue!

FRECKLES THE BUNNY SERIES NEWS:

Freckles the Bunny Series and Rescues

Freckles the Bunny Series is about to place two of Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary's adoptables into the next book! This idea is courtesy of Anastasia Drogaitseva, my wonderful illustrator!

Freckles and the Cost of Popularity

We have already begun to work on book 5. Inside will be a few rescue animals as well as some people's pets (Pets in Books). This book will show you where Sherlock works and will lead us into book 6 (though you don't need 5 to read book 6). Stay tuned for a preview which will be out within a month.

Rilo and Ranger PhotosRilo and Ranger, featured in Freckles Book # 5
I mentioned around a week ago that we were very pleased to be working with Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary on finding homes for their animals. Here is a photo of Rilo and Ranger, two ducks who will be featured in Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 5: Freckles and the Cost of Popularity.

Rilo and Ranger are not only going to have their photo in this next Freckles book but will be drawn in as well! Anastasia has already done a wonderful job with their cuteness!

Here are some other places that you can find Rilo and Ranger:
1. On our Freckles the Bunny Series website under Pets and Rescues, then under Rescue Links.
2. Pinterest (Freckles and Sherlock's accounts)
3. In the album entitled, "Rescue Animals in Books" in each of the fan pages.

Freckles the Bunny Series
Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series
4. Click on the photo to go directly to their adoption page!

We hope these two handsome ducks find forever homes together!

A special thanks to Majestic Waterfowl for going over some of our ducky facts and for providing us with some information for Sherlock's next book! Also be sure to check out their website for useful waterfowl information including books!

Lastly, I am going to be slowly cutting out the info I am putting out on both pages. If you aren't a fan of Sherlock's fan page, you will begin to miss out on his updates and vice versa. Each page has it's own fan base, series, website and fan page. Please be sure to check them out as I don't want to bombard everyone with posts by doing both on each site/fan page. Thanks!

I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year (if you celebrate)! New things in the works for this year!

1. Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series, Book # 1: Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow
Sherlock's book is complete and just waiting for editing and a cover. It should be out by the end of the month. Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series, #chapter #Book # 1: #Sherlock, the #Cat Who Couldn't #Meow.

2. A New Domain
He is far more popular then expected and seems to be drawing quite a bit of interest for himself. Due to this, we've made a website for him and bought a domain. You can find it below.
http://Sherlock-the-Remarkable-Cat-Series.ca

3. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 5: Freckles and the Cost of Popularity
We've already begun putting together Freckles The Bunny Series, Book #5: #Freckles and the Cost of #Popularity. It should be out around the end of February. A preview will be out for this at a later time.

4. Humboldt & District SPCA
We've added Petfinder #Pet of the Month for the Humboldt SPCA onto our sites. As many know, $1/book from all Createspace (an Amazon company, therefore Amazon checkouts) sales from Freckles books goes to them. This will be the same for Sherlock's.

5. Sherlock's Facebook Fan Page
If you haven't already, be sure to check out Sherlock's facebook page! 
https://www.facebook.com/Sherlock.The.Remarkable.Cat.Series

6. Sherlock Signs Books
Lastly, Sherlock's books will now be signed as well just as Freckles' are. You can expect to see his paw on any books purchased through me, just as Freckles' are. The paw prints you see were made from their real paws. We will be sure to post a sample on his fan page once it is done!

New Year and New Stuff

1/3/2014

0 Comments

 
It has been a very busy time for us here between Christmas and a new book series. I'm afraid that it's been too busy to post. I am late in saying this but to all those that celebrate, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Christmas went well for us though we are still not back in our home. We were with family though and together so one could not ask for more. Now for some updates on what I have been busy with:

1. Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series
  • I finished writing his first book last night. The book is titled, "Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow" and it is the first in the series. It is in need of editing and a cover but the plan is still to have it published and on Amazon by the end of this month. Once the cover is complete, I will be sure to post it online.
  • Sherlock has been racking in fans! Between the interest and Freckles' website being so full of stuff, a site was created for him. http://sherlock-the-remarkable-cat.weebly.com/
  • Sherlock's series is a chapter book series which means no illustrations. The page count before edits is 73 written pages. The book's estimated sales price will be $8. All of this could change yet.
  • There is still a preview on Sherlock's website (before it was on Freckles' site but on sherlock's page. His page no longer exists). It is unedited and some stuff has been added but be sure to check it out! The first two chapters are included.
  • We will be offering school readings for this as well though I have yet to determine how to present it yet.

2. The Author's Website
  • The website has been changed a bit as I've added new page choices above. The choices now include direct links to both series websites. This required a total makeover.
  • While the website's domain name will stay as it is, the cover title is now listed as Vickianne and Anastasia's to keep from confusing Anastasia's stuff with mine. I would like to make sure that her art is seen and this seemed like a great way to get people to notice her and realize that the work is hers and not mine.
  • Photos and Videos have all been placed onto one page instead of two on that website.


3. Book Reviews
  • It seems that I have little to no time to do reviews for other authors anymore. At least not for chapter books. My daughter has offered to take on this role and has been doing a great job of it. While some of it is slow, she is far faster at this then I am with lack of time. She has already done two reviews on her own (videos still need to be done) and has had compliments on them. Great job!


4. Freckles the Bunny Series
  • Freckles is now on her 5th book this year! This book should be out near the end of February. The book is entitled, "Freckles and the Cost of Popularity." Learn more about it by visiting her website. A video preview should be out sometime later this month.


5. All Websites
  • There was a glitch with the Pinterest link on the websites that I hadn't been aware of. These are fixed now! You can find us here:  http://www.pinterest.com/frecklesbunECRZ/
  • Freckles and Sherlock's sites link to each other and my personal one will take you to both. I have not included a link back from the series sites to my personal author's website.


6. E-Books
  • I have not yet added anymore books on Smashwords (nor updated) as I am currently waiting for my husband to read the contracts for putting them on Kindle. I will bring you news at a later date to let you know if the e-books go on Amazon or if I add more onto Smashwords, or both.


Well that is all of the news here. We hope all of our readers and fans are well!

Sherlock the Remarkable Cat News

I've been pretty busy here with family matters, working on Sherlock's book and Freckles' book 5. Some new things as of late:
  • Sherlock's page has been updated. There is now a separate page for photos & videos as well as a page with a list of characters. Some pictures from Freckles the Bunny Series are present if the characters were in those.
  • Sherlock's story is coming along. I am currently on chapter 7 and the 46th page in the book. I had posted a new synopsis of "Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow." This may once again be changed because while most of the story will be the same, I've decided upon a slight twist which I may use in this book.
  • A character drawing has been done. This may change slightly to better portray him (as his tummy isn't white). Anastasia Drogaitseva will once again be illustrating. This will be the new look for his book covers.
  • While both Freckles and Sherlock share the same world and town, a small bit of magic will be found in Sherlock's books. I hope this won't confuse the readers but I wanted to make these books a little different, just like him.
  • Due to the unforeseen interest in his series, I will be trying to release the book mid-late January. Once I am near done, we will post the book cover and price. This probably won't happen until January so I'm afraid you will have to wait in suspense. I guarantee you that the cover is quite unique as we've set up a "theme" for his books, just as we have with Freckles' (hers is the titles are always a part of a sign or something). His will be quite different from Freckles' and I know you are going to love it!
  • Some edits were done to the first two chapters again and I've added more detail, speech, etc. These have been uploaded in place of the old files. You can find this preview on his page and again, please remember that they haven't been edited yet. I simply couldn't wait to share a peek.

4. The first order of Christmas books sold out and another order should be in this week!

5. I submitted the Christmas book for review and it came back in 2 days (supposed to take up to 3 months but they keep coming in quicker each time!)!! I got another 5 star review award from Readers' Favorite. That is 4 for 4!!

6. Just a reminder, we still have Freckles Christmas photos for sale! Order them now so that you receive them on time for Christmas!
$1.50 per photo
$6 for 5 photos
$10 for 10 photos

I hope everyone is having as wonderful a week as I've had!

Sherlock Series Updates

11/14/2013

Second Chapter Sneak Peek
Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series, Book # 1: Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow has a second chapter added to the first. Be sure to check it out! We've also figured out the cover and I am SO EXCITED about it! I can't wait for you all to see it! Please remember that this is a draft and more may be added so it hasn't been edited yet. Again, you can find the downloadable pdf at the bottom of his page, on the Freckles website.

Uniqueness of Series Book Covers
Some of you may not have noticed but Freckles the Bunny Series has a theme going on with the covers. Every book title is always in the form of a sign or on something (Ex. Book 1 was a sign on the door & book 3 was ice on the window). Sherlock now has his own theme as well! On every cover, you will see a photo of the real Sherlock inside of the illustrated one. Sherlock's appearance is going to change slightly as well. In the Freckles books, the characters are more flat. In his series, they will be more rounded and standing out more.  Anastasia will be illustrating the first book in the series as well and we hope to keep her on longer.

Sherlock's Facebook Fan Page
I was trying to list what books I was working on and Facebook wouldn't let me edit the info later so I had to create a fan page a little earlier then I had planned. You can find it here:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sherlock-the-Remarkable-Cat-Series/649384561751226
