A special thank you to the Reid-Thompson Public Library in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. We all had a lovely time reading to the children and look forward to doing it again. Last but not least, a thank you to the Humboldt and District Kinettes for sponsoring me for the TD Canada Trust Summer Reading Program.

I'm sorry I haven't had as much time to update on here. I've finally got a little free time (business has been keeping me busy) so I have been getting Freckles' books re-edited and placed through 4 Paws Games and Publishing.

Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 6: The Freckle Monster is now available on e-book in many locations. It is also available as Paperback on Amazon, Chapters/Indigo and McNally Robinson. You can order in the book at the last two as they have it listed online, but it is not stocked in the stores.

If you haven't heard, we will be doing a story reading (Freckles will be there) on Wednesday, August 10, 2016 and the library in Humboldt. I will be sure to add this to the events page here soon!

Lastly, I've removed the sales page. To make it easier for taxes, all books and products will be purchased through 4 Paws Games and Publishing's store only. This is the same for Sherlock's website. You can find some great items like calendars, posters and so much more! We are re-ordering his books too.

One last note. Once I get these re-edited and have a little free time, you can expect Sherlock's next book to be in the works. Yes, finally!

Have a great day everyone!

You can now order some of Freckles the Bunny Series & Sherlock's paperbacks on McNally Robinson's website!

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted. A new Freckles book is still in the works but it is slow coming. This is my fault. A lot of my time is being spend on the new business and getting it going. My efforts haven't been in vain though and I am getting it moving forward. I've also begun taking some classes online so I am spending a lot of time learning. I just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten about you.

In fact, Freckles and Sherlock have new merchandise out and online through the business website. I also have the books retiring in the systems so that I can put out new editions with better editing. These are slowly coming. Freckles' sixth book is out and on Amazon. Freckles and Stew are doing well as is Sherlock. We are hoping to begin attending events this Spring and by next year, I hope to contact schools for readings once more. I will try to post more regularly and get to updating the websites soon. Thanks for being such loyal fans!

Oh!! One last note. Freckles' book # 5 & 6 will be online soon as e-books. You can pre-order until then. Keep an eye out for them on Barnes & Noble, Apple, etc. The price is $2.99 USD. You can pre-order now on Smashwords. These are the new and edited versions.

Anastasia now has less time to draw due to her full-time job and has moved on to some bigger projects. We wish you all the best! A new illustrator will be announced soon.

We have 2 new products available for sale. Both mousepads are for sale at $11 + S&H. Find them here.

The Website has been totally re-done thanks to 4 Paws Games and Publishing! The work is amazing!  Almost everything is online now except for the animal images. I will try to get that up as quickly as I can. As you know if you've been keeping up with the blogs, one of my images was stolen so I am now trying to protect them as best as I can. Unfortunately this takes a lot of time and effort. I have been doing this for my 3 websites and I have been at it for over a week.

You will find some new page additions. There is now a "Teachers" page which will contain visit information and fundraising forms.
The "News" page now contains a link to award as well as the blog.
The "Characters" page has been re-done but still displays characters for you to see and their info. I've changed the format of the images a bit so that you can still see it all but it will be better protected. There are 2 or 3 new characters there and Anastasia is working on two more.

I've removed flip books in Freckles the Bunny Series and I have yet to decide whether I will do previews for these books anymore.

I hope you like the new change and I will keep you updated when the rest goes online.

The Characters page is now online for you to view. I've added two new characters and 2 more are still being drawn. I still have the forms, etc. down yet as I need to work on these as well. I am trying to get everything back online as quickly as I can for you. I am having to re-do stuff for 3 websites so this is taking me a little longer then I'd hoped.

I've also upped book prices by $0.50. The exchange rate is causing the cost of the books coming here to increase. This will help with that. It also sets the prices around the same as other self-published books.

Amazon.ca has been adding my books into their system. Soon you will be able to buy them from there. The titles are all now listed but they aren't fully set to be purchased. Hopefully they will have that done soon. Just a note, due to the exchange, Amazon has my books at a higher rate then this website does. You may wish to buy from here.

That's it for today. I will hopefully have more back online soon.
