There is a lot to tell. Each series now has gift certificates made for us. They are available for sale on each website as well as 4 Paws Games and Publishing's website.
4 Paws Games and Publishing posted a new video introducing Freckles the Bunny Series. This is the best one yet. My other works will be going through this company only. I am currently working on a new children's book about how to care for a bunny. This one will be done with real photographs. The company already has much of my other works up for sale from photographs to books. Please take a look and see.

Wow! Things have been so busy! I've almost fully recuperated (as fully as one can ever be after such a loss) from the fire and so much has happened since then and since my last blog post! Most of it is Freckles the Bunny Series news of course, but there is some other news, so I hope you will continue to read. Here we go: Other Authors Reviews Things have taken an unexpected turn this year, starting with the fire. Book sales have doubled in a small amount of time (though they are still small) and I am finding less and less time to get things done while juggling marketing, family, etc. I am finding it hard to make time to write at times. Unfortunately, this means that I need to cut down on the reviews. While I still intend to get those done as promised, I can no longer do any long books. This means chapter books. I simply don't have the time to read them. I hope you will understand. At the moment, I am not taking in anything new. I am still trying to catch up on the books I am behind on. Thank you for your understanding! Youtube Channel Videos I've added a bunch of new stuff to the Youtube Channel. I can't remember them all but of course there are more animal videos and some new things. I will just mention some of what I think is new. Some of them are playlists. Playlists: 1. Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series playlist 2. Craft Time with Erika-Elizabeth playlist There may be some other playlists that were not mentioned earlier on there as well. Videos: 1. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas Preview (read by the author) http://youtu.be/X3jgTHKGi5g 2, Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series Pre-Intro http://youtu.be/twRtgIWO7eQ 3. Craft Time with Erika-Elizabeth videos. - An intro to the shows. http://youtu.be/KF2cwS2EPf0 4. Pine Cone Feeder Craft - A how to video that your child can do along with Erika-Elizabeth. Stay tuned for more! http://youtu.be/lF87wCcHcCU 5. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas Trailer http://youtu.be/X3jgTHKGi5g 6. Many more videos on our channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FrecklesBunnySeries ContestsWe had two contests this month. One was for reaching 100 likes to our fan page. We gave away a free copy of Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 3: Freckles Lends a Paw. The second one was for our upcoming book, Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 4: Freckles and the True Meaning of Christmas. Unfortunately, we just don't seem to be getting enough participants at this time so we have decided that this will be the last contest for awhile. At least until things pick up again. Thank you to all of those that have been! I plan for it to be as humorous and possibly as educational as the Freckles series is now. A New Chapter Book Series I have decided to start writing a chapter book series. The character is a popular one and since the older children love the series (but some don't want to be seen reading them at their age), I thought they might enjoy a series of their own. The series is about my unique cat Sherlock. You can learn more on the page I have set up for him on the Freckles website. It will be out sometime next year. Expect to see humor, a lot of Boots' family, cross-overs and more! Freckles the Bunny Series Book #'s 5 & 6 Planned I am afraid that with lack of time, I sometimes forget what I've written on previous posts (especially after two other blogs). I have two new books coming out next year. I am not officially set on the titles or the order yet, though I do know book 5 will be book 5. They are as follows: Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 5: Freckles and the Popular Persuasion - Popularity and peer pressure are discussed. Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 6: The Freckle Monster - Emotional and verbal bullying are discussed. My daughter will be helping write the 6th book as she has previously experienced this at her last school. School Visits I have had the pleasure of visiting St. Augustine School here in Saskatoon and I will be visiting St. Phillip School very soon! Freckles III, Stew II and I had a wonderful visit and hope that we are invited back again. Book Edits My husband and I spent many nights fixing up the third book as we found many things that needed fixing. We are happy to report that they are looking great and online! I also spent many hours fixing the quality of the books appearance for books one and two. They are also online now. All three books will be listed as second editions as I also edited some text and added a craft to every book that did not have one. This will be a continued feature for every book. We've extended the deadline for pre-ordering book # 4, to October 20, 2013. If you haven't ordered one and want to, please contact me right away. This is by far, the best book, more writing, more pictures, 2 crafts and an 8 x 10 size instead of our usual 8.5 x 8.5. You don't want to miss it! Newsletters, Secret Page for Children and New Products I have added a monthly newsletter for the Freckles site. I will also include a monthly sign in so that children can access a secret page with some downloads and online games that are only accessible this way. There are also some new products for sale. Book Purchasing Options We realize that purchasing through Paypal on our website can be a pain. We are now taking orders through the contact link as well and we will figure out the shipping for you, then send an invoice. In this way, we will be able to charge less while you still use Paypal. Other payment options are as follows:
* Interact E-Transfer (works well if you are with a major bank in Canada). I am also told that this is only possible if you have online banking access. * Send us a Money Order or Certified Check after we let you know the total with shipping. * Personal/business checks will only be accepted through schools and libraries. Sorry for any inconvenience. |
