1. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 6: The Freckle Monster
Illustrations are done and we are getting closer to completing it. We still need some bullying information and editing yet before it is complete. Don't forget that you can still pre-order. 2. Fundraising Forms I have two fundraising options online for organizations. Both equal the same profit but are handled differently. As this is the first time doing this, I always welcome input so feel free to share if these need changes, etc. These fundraising forms are for all the books I have written and not Freckles the Bunny Series only. You can find them here on the website: http://www.freckles-the-bunny-series.ca/story-readings-and-fundraising.html 3. Facebook Likes Contest We still need 9 more likes on Freckles' fan page to do another contest. This time we will do 2 free books to one lucky person. The one book will be book 3 (as a small bit of editing was missed) and a book of your choice. Visit the fan page here: https://www.facebook.com/Freckles.The.Bunny.Series Have a great day everyone!

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.

We also held our usual contest for the upcoming book. It was for a copy of Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas. The winner of that contest was Valery Ozerskaya! Congratulations to both the winners! Unfortunately, due to the lack of fan involvement, this will be our last contest for now. Perhaps once we develop a little larger of a group, we will try again. We want to thank everyone that has participated in the past! It has been greatly appreciated!

New Chapter Book Series  Copyrighted Material As you know, I have been working on a new chapter book series based on Sherlock, our cat. I had been arguing with myself over the title and I've finally chosen one. The series will be called, "Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series." You will sometimes see characters from Freckles the Bunny Series as Sherlock's brother is Boots. I am planning many things for this series and while I am finding that I sometimes have little time to do things, Freckles will always be first. I have only begun writing the series (between writing books 5 and 6), so I am not sure yet as to what you can expect. I promise it will be as great and entertaining as the other series is! Expect to see humor, a lot of Boots' family, cross-overs and more! News 1. Upcoming School Visit: Freckles III, Stew II and I will soon be visiting St. Philip's School here in Saskatoon. We are very excited to meet the students there as well as the teachers! Our visit is planned for October 22nd. 2. Book Edits We edited books 1 through 3. - Books 1 & 2 had some small edits of text and we've changed some things. These will soon say 2nd editions. Book 1 also had a craft added to it as it didn't have one and book 2 did. - Book 3 needed some text edits as it seems we missed quite a bit. We apologize greatly for this and promise to do a better job next time. We also added a craft to this book. This will also be a second edition book. 3. Book Crafts Each book will now have a craft in the back of them. The previous books that didn't have one, have now had them added. This will continue on throughout the Freckles series. 4. Pre-ordering Book # 4 We have decided to extend the pre-orders to October 20th, 2014. Every pre-paid, pre-order will receive a set of 6 character stickers (each main character included) or a Freckles pencil. Happy Thanksgiving!
