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! http://www.fanexporegina.com/guests/vickianne-caswell 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! www.fanexporegina.com Another late find! :( Seems they were not all posting! SHERLOCK NEWS:Sherlock Book Update and ProblemsWe 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 WinnerThe 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 MerchandiseI am currently working on putting together some Sherlock merchandise so keep an eye out on the website and his fan page! Rescues and the BooksLastly, 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! A Message from SherlockFRECKLES THE BUNNY SERIES NEWS:Freckles the Bunny Series and RescuesFreckles 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 PopularityWe 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.
![]() 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. Vickianne Caswell, author 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! 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
2. The Author's Website
3. Book Reviews
4. Freckles the Bunny Series
5. All Websites
6. E-Books
Well that is all of the news here. We hope all of our readers and fans are well! Vickianne I've been pretty busy here with family matters, working on Sherlock's book and Freckles' book 5. Some new things as of late:
It's been a very exciting week! Here's what's new:
1. It looks like we will be reading at another school here in Saskatoon, SK. 2. Sherlock's new character look for the book is in the works. 3. His fan page is up on Facebook already (a little premature but Facebook wouldn't let me edit some stuff at a later date). Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series on Facebook 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 $20 for 25 photos. I hope everyone is having as wonderful a week as I've had! 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 |
