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!

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! 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 ![]() 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! http://www.freckles-the-bunny-series.ca/sherlock-the-remarkable-cat-series.html 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.
