It's been awhile since I've written. The new business has kept me busy and writing had stopped. I am happy to announce that I am working on a new project. It is another children's series, "The Adventures of Lynx." The stories are once again based on a real pet with the same unique personality as in the books. Some of the crazy stuff in the stories, he has done in real life. Lynx is a rather unique, and unusual cat.
The first in the series is "Lynx Plays Pretend." He will actually have 2 series versions. The "Junior Edition" is for toddlers and up with mostly pictures and little writing. The second set will have the "Junior Edition" removed and will be a bit more like Freckles, but less writing as her newer books. The illustrator for this series is AJ Wanegar. "The Adventures of Lynx, Junior Edition, Book # 1: Lynx Plays Pretend," will be out sometime in 2019. There will be one page with Sherlock in the book.

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.
