The runner up received an e-book copy of Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series, Book # 1: Sherlock, the Cat Who Couldn't Meow. Facebook Likes Contests Sherlock's Facebook page has received a lot of likes this year and for every 25 likes, we hold a free e-book contest. We seem to have had so many in the last while that we are now going to be having one for the whole summer! Want an idea on how it works? Take a look at the photo below. Winning is simple.

We are pleased to announce that Vickianne and her books are now under a publishing company. The company still leaves full rights and ownership to the authors while publishing them through the company name and website. Nothing much has changed about the books but there will be some new creations added to the books thanks to this company, which Vickianne owns. The company is currently working on a visual novel game app/program for children to learn about animals and the books while playing for free. If things go well with this release, we will be looking at some paid apps in the future. We look forward to working through the company!
Should a different publishing company come along down the road and shows interest in our books, we will happily see what they have to offer. In the meantime, be sure to check out the company's website (click the image) and like their Facebook fan page! Lastly, please make sure you are not a contest winner. If you are then please contact us about your book/e-book. We usually do not wait over a month for winners to contact us about their books. We still have one e-book and 2 books waiting to be claimed. We have contacted the winners by mentioning them on the site as well as by Facebook (though it may enter the "other" area of your messages). We would like to hold another e-book contest soon so please check and see if you have won. Those e-book winners will now have to receive a new coupon code as the previous one has expired. Simply contact us for a new one. Thank you! Facebook fan page: https://www.facebook.com/4.Paws.Games.and.Publishing 3.
Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series News Post: 1. 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.sherlock-the-remarkable-cat-series.ca/story-readings-and-fundraising.html 2. Facebook Likes Contest Winners The winner for the 100 Likes contest was Jennifer Sunshine. She won a free copy of the book. The winner for the 125 Likes contest was Tim Smith. He won a free e-book copy. 3. Let's Get Another Facebook Likes Contest Going If we can get 15 more likes on our Facebook fan page, we will have 150 likes. If we can make it there we will have a contest for a free copy of the book and a signed photo of Sherlock (signed by Sherlock's paw print). Visit the page here: https://www.facebook.com/Sherlock.The.Remarkable.Cat.Series Freckles the Bunny Series News Post: 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. 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 3. 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 Explaining Options: I am planning to work on a 3rd option for fundraising forms. All options are basically the same in the sense that you make so much profit and sell books. The difference is more of how you do it. 1. Option A This option is for an organization that doesn't want to spend a lot of printing but wants to send stuff to numerous people. A school would be a good example. They want to send home to each student but keep down the costs. This form lacks pictures. 2. Option B This option might be ideal for a person who plans to go door to door, bring the order form along or who plans to leave the form at their work location. An example would be the SPCA. The organization would have a printed copy of all the books (book cover photos included) and would use this to show what is for sale. They would also have a separate order form to fill out who bought what and another sheet to send in. 3. Option C I am going to be working on another option either this weekend or early next week. It will look a lot like a fundraising flyer that has the items (pictures included) as well as the order form as part of the papers. This would be for those who aren't concerned with printing and want to try to get a lot of sales by displaying what is offered while leaving it with the possible buyers. Each website has more details, the fundraising forms, etc. etc. 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!
2. This year, we will be helping some rescue groups by placing their adoptable pets in our stories as background characters. - Freckles books. 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.

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! 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 everyone had a good Christmas and New Year (if you celebrate)! New things in the works for this year! 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.

I believe this is my second blog. A lot has happened since the last one.
