Freckles the Bunny Series News

12/13/2013

I just finished posting about Sherlock, now here is your Freckles news!
  • We are currently underway of working on Book # 5: Freckles and the Cost of Popularity.
    Synopsis:
      Freckles has always been a good little bunny that was taught to be nice and caring towards others. The opportunity to be popular arises and Freckles soon finds herself choosing popularity over friends. Two classes get to go on a field trip to the local bakery where Boots' brother Sherlock works. Freckles has been told that Boots' family is not cool and weird. Freckles and her new friends are soon laughing at the bakery owner and Boots' family, costing Freckles her old friends. Join Freckles as she learns that being different is alright and that being popular doesn't mean you have to be mean, in another funny adventure. Guest appearances by Sherlock, a popular real animal and Purrsia, a character that will have your child looking to see what is stuck in her fur, in every illustration.
  • A couple of pets will be displayed in this book. This was from the package we donated to the Humboldt & District SPCA. It was two "Pets in Books" packages. We are still waiting to hear back from some rescues to place some of their hard to adopt animals in.
  • Freckles Lends a Paw and "Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas" both got two great reviews on a blog. You can read them here:

  • Stay tuned in January for a preview of book 5! We look forward to seeing what else the New Year brings!

Weekend News

Vickianne Caswell has now signed up for a website called AuthorsdB. It lists some of her links and books. I am still learning how this site works, so additions may be slow.

The photo package that we donated to the Humboldt & District SPCA's online auction is already at $30! The people that had their pet put into the Christmas book were very happy, which makes us happy! These were done courtesy of Anastasia and myself.

Anastasia came up with the idea of helping rescued animals in need of homes, by listing them and drawing them in. We are both looking forward to doing this! If you are a rescue and would like to have your animals that are hard to adopt in our book, please contact us! While we charge for pets, rescues we will be doing for free.

Two reviews are already in and they are great for book 4! Be sure to check them out on the website!

Updates
It seems I am behind in many things here as of late but I needed the time for my emotional and mental state to heal. The family is doing much better though still not in our home. We have been keeping busy with enrolling our daughter in a new school for the time being and I have added more photos on Deviant Art. I also spent some time writing a poem on the fire and the rabbits that we lost. You can find that on the "Beyond Freckles" page.

Freckles the Bunny Series News

I am now trying to catch up with things for the series. Anastasia and I are close to finishing the fourth book in the Freckles the Bunny Series. We should have the cover photo up soon and have a contest for a book copy. In the meantime, we are taking pre-orders from now until October 15th, with an offer of a free Freckles pencil or Character Sticker sheet with every book 4 sold. The title is Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas. It contains 35 color illustrations. It will also include 2 Christmas crafts and a poem written by my daughter. My daughter will also be writing the sixth book with me. It will be about bullying. I've also added a bunch of free PDF downloads for the children, onto the Freckles website.

Award
I won another Readers' Favorite 5 Star award. It is for Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 2: Freckles and the Less Fortunate. You can find the review on the review page. I may have posted this before, but I can't remember.


That is all of the news for today but be sure to check again as I will try to post more this month and we are slowly getting back into the book reviews for other authors.

It's been a busy couple of weeks here and about to get busier! The video and flip book preview will be out sometime next week so please keep watch! This is for book # 3. As well, I am hoping to share some exciting news by the end of the month if luck will have it. I'm also in the works of creating a couple more videos for you. A little advertising for the books and possibly a little more (watch for the real, full grown Donut as well). These are always found on our Youtube channel. If you don't want to miss them as soon as they are out, you can subscribe to the channel.

I will be offering Skype readings to schools and libraries in the Fall for those interested. I've already posted one video and will be posting another somewhere between the middle and end of this month. Be sure to check them out and please share!

I've been doing children's and young adult book reviews. You can find them and interviews with the authors on my personal website. http://Vickianne-Caswell.weebly.com These books are read with my daughter and we have also posted video reviews of the books on the channel as well as an Author's Blog that I have created.

I've been out to my daughter's school once already and will be making one more trip in to read one of the books that are not yet published.

We will be doing another contest for a free copy of book 3 so please keep watch on our Facebook fan page! You will be required to like the page again.

Book # 1 Wins Award

5/15/2013

I meant to post this up a little while ago, but the flu and getting a little busy here kept me from doing so. I am pleased to announce that Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 1: Freckles is Scared of School has won the Readers' Favorite 5 Star Award. We were presented with this seal to put on our books (we will be doing this as soon as we can).

I am very pleased and proud to have been awarded this seal. I have had many compliments on the writing from children, parents and teachers. It is very nice to be acknowledged in this way. Thank you!

Here is what was written about the book. I've also added a review page to the website that you can add your own reviews (please submit) or read others'.

“Freckles is Scared of School,” is book 1 in Vickianne Caswell’s 'Freckles the Bunny Series', and is an adorable start to a series that children will enjoy reading. Freckles loves playing and spending time at home with her mom; however, Freckles is suddenly told that she is going to be starting school the next day. Freckles does not want to go to school and has dreams about how awful it will be. However, when Freckles arrives at school, she realizes school is not what she was expecting it to be and she enjoys her day with her classmates. When it is time to go home at the end of the school day, Freckles does not want to leave, but she is reminded she will be able to come back the next day.

This is a cute story that discusses beginning school, an experience that many children are anxious about just as Freckles is. Young children will enjoy reading about Freckles and be comforted that school is not scary and it is really is an enjoyable experience. I love that the author uses her own pets from her childhood as the characters in the book; it is such a sweet idea! Also, the animals are all different and, therefore, they create a diverse classroom for Freckles. Children will be in a classroom with other children who are different from themselves and this allows for learning about others, but it can also be a scary or intimidating experience to find oneself with others who are different. Freckles met different animals and although they had different ways of doing things, they had an enjoyable day together as a class and friends.
