We are very excited this year! New and exciting things have been happening here! Why?
1.
We are constantly improving the books, new topics and learning so much along the way!
  • We've learned more about some of the animals and new ones.
  • We have a bullying book coming out this year (Summer 2014).
  • Crafts are now in every 2nd edition book for book 1 and 2.
  • New morals.
  • A new craft blog for you and your child to follow from the books.
  • Morals and ISBN's are now beside each book online for additional info.
  • We are still working on the e-books but have 2 online now!
  • Sherlock has a Youtube Channel but we are still adding more videos for you!

 2. This year, we will be helping some rescue groups by placing their adoptable pets in our stories as background characters.

3.
We have a new series out which is getting a lot of attention. Be sure to check out Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series' website and Facebook fan page.

4.
We are on a roll for winning awards for reviews (every book has earned a 5 star!) and now we have the opportunity to win "2014 Best Book Cover Contest."

This is just a small portion of what is going on! In the meantime, we need you to vote! You can vote daily or every 2 days (the system is a bit picky). The link is below and we have the following books entered:
1. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas
2. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 5: Freckles and the Cost of Popularity
3. Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series, Book # 1: Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow

You can vote for all 3 books and here is how:
1. Follow the link and find the books.
2. It is the star rating system, 1 star being poor and 5 stars being awesome!
3. Click on the star to rate it and you can vote for other books too, not just one.

ISBN's & Morals

The Signed Books Sales page of the website and the notes section of the Facebook fan page (see "Book Titles and Pricing" note) all have the ISBN's and Morals/Lessons Learned added to them. I hope this will make it easier for you to find the book and/or to decide on which book you may like. If I missed any morals that you may see in them, please let me know. I've also added book sizes and how many pages to the odd ones that were missed previously.

Sick & Books 5 & 6

Hi! I am finally feeling better though I am not 100%. Things are moving along with book 5 and we hope to have it online before the end of April. I'm sorry about the lateness of the book but it was one heck of a respiratory infection that left me doing very little.

"Book # 5: Freckles and the Cost of Popularity" is already listed to pre-order and the buttons are there. I also have a pre-0rder button for "Book # 6: The Freckle Monster". There was a previous post on both of them so be sure to check them out!

Willy's Happy Endings Rescue Organization

I'm sorry to say that we are one less rescue for book 5. Willy's Happy Endings would still like to participate in placing their animals in the books, however, they are really busy at the moment and we haven't been able to get their signed form from them. We hope they will join us for the next book!

Shipping & Handling

Due to Canada Post's hike of the stamp, I've had to increase the amount of shipping & handling to another dollar. I am very sorry about this but we need to cover the cost. If you are planning on purchasing more then one book, we did add 2 package deals. As well, if you aren't happy with the cost for more then 2 books, please contact me and I can bill you instead as the shipping does go down a little with each book.

Freckles and the Cost of Popularity Book Preview & Trailer

As I said before, I am quite behind from being so sick. I am hoping to try and get the preview and trailer out this week or next at the latest. Be sure to keep an eye out for it! A "Preview" button has been added to the signed books sales page as well. This will help you to find the trailers a lot faster.

Be sure to keep an eye out! I will have some more updates throughout the week! Have a great week!

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

More Updates and a Free Chapter!

Craft Time with Erika-Elizabeth page

We've started a craft series called "Craft Time with Erika-Elizabeth." It is found on Youtube (our channel) and our website. Erika-Elizabeth will be making crafts that your child can make along with her. We're at a slow start here but we will be adding more videos soon!

Erika-Elizabeth's Blog

Erika-Elizabeth has also started her own parent-approved blog. She wants to share some of her experiences as part of the Freckles team, as well as her experiences in bullying, etc. We felt that since she would be part of writing one on bullying, that other children may want to hear about her experiences.

Extended School Visits Date

Due to the fact that we still don't know when we will be returning, we have decided to extend our stay until December. If you know of a school interested in a free story reading, please have them contact me!

Wonderful Visit at St. Philip School

We had a wonderful time at St. Philip School here in Saskatoon and they were very kind to us! We enjoyed reading to them, speaking with everyone and especially enjoyed the questions that many of you asked!

Website Overhaul

I have now hidden almost every page except the main ones. A few were re-named (ex. the News blog is now "News Blog" instead of "News"). I have also replaced the Paypal buttons so that there are some better S&H prices, especially for books. I've also fixed it up so that you can purchase a t-shirt size easier and purchase services (you had to contact me before). This also enabled me to add some package deals. If you take a look around, you will also find a few price drops. One of them is the Pets in the Book package and the Child's Photo with the Freckles Character. Both make great Christmas presents!

New Product Special

PictureCopyrighted Material
Freckles the Bunny Series Holiday Prints

A neat way to send Christmas cards! This greeting photo is one-sided. Displayed here is Freckles but another character can be substituted. Prices are as follows:

1 photo - $1.50
5 photos - $6.00
10 photos - $10.00
25 photos - $25.00

Free Chapter of Sherlock's Book

Now what you have probably been waiting for! A sneak peak at the first chapter of Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series, Book # 1: Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow
(Please note that it may still need editing and nothing is finalized yet).
Go to our website and under Sherlock's heading, the PDF file is on the bottom of the page. I would love to hear your thoughts as well, so please feel free to share!

Family Trees

We are still working on family trees but you can take a look at the album on the website and our Facebook fan page. I have posted Boots' & Tiger's.
