Very excited to announce that I will be at Regina Fan Expo on Sunday, May 4th, 2014 from 1 - 4PM. You can find me at the Saskatchewan Writers Guild's booth! Follow the link below for details on the main event, location, cost and hours.

I was not expecting to attend and have been spending much needed time on catching up on work so I have limited books. I will be taking pre-orders though and selling what I do have. Come early!

Unfortunately, neither Freckles nor Sherlock will be able to attend. I hope to see you there and a very big thank you to the Saskatchewan Writers Guild for having us!

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!

• We've learned more about some of the animals and new ones.
• We have a bullying book coming out this year (Summer 2014). - Freckles book.
  
• Crafts are now in every 2nd edition book for book 1 and 2. - Freckles books.
  
• New morals.
• A new craft blog for you and your child to follow from the books. - Freckles books.
  
• Morals and ISBN's are now beside each book online for additional info.
• We are still working on the e-books but have 2 online now!
• Sherlock has a Youtube Channel but we are still adding more videos for you!
  

 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. Click on the star to rate it and you can vote for other books too, not just one.

Wow do you miss a lot when you are sick! I just realized that I missed stuff that I should have posted about. Here they are:

1. A photo of the new book cover. See the left picture.

2. We are sad to announce that Willy's Happy Endings will not be in Freckles book # 5 as they were really busy and unable to complete the forms in time. We hope they will be able to join us in another upcoming book!

3. Plenty of Freckles news but you will need to see her website!

4. A brief synopsis is up for Sherlock's book # 2. I am holding off on the rescue book for a short while as I need more ideas and time to research. In the meantime, you can read about the next one (subject to change). There is currently no date set for this book as of yet.

5. ISBN's and morals have been added to the book listings to give those interested in the books a better idea on what to expect from each one.

6. There is a review up for Sherlock's book. The review links are also with the book listings now for easy access.

7. I can't remember but I think I had troubles with the flip book preview. It is available now as are the first two chapters still. Be sure to check them out if you are interested!

That is all for the news for a short bit. I am currently trying to catch up on Freckles' 5th book which is overdue because I was so sick. Once that is done and I have these formatted for Smashwords, I will be working on Sherlock's next book so stay tuned!
