A Sherlock quote has been created special for you and for the upcoming book!

Don't forget to contact us if you are in or near the locations we are looking to visit!

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.

 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:

Sherlock's book is close to release! We are just waiting on the last of the cover and from the looks of things, it will be well worth the wait! Awesome job Anastasia, as usual!!
Here is a sneak peak at the back cover!

The stamp is near complete as well and if everything goes as planned, I am hoping to have his book available for sale online, on Amazon.com this week! Once it is, I will be ordering some books for myself and taking pre-orders for signed copies.

Did you know that before I even thought of creating a series for Sherlock, I'd already begun creating other things for him? The Facebook fan page called, "Stuff the Cat Doesn't Want You to Know" has many photos of him and his friends. It was made in fun but also so that Vickianne could practice tubing photos and practice using Photoshop. You can find it here:

I am currently debating about having a contest to win a free copy of Sherlock's first book. If you think we should, then click like on the website's post (either on the website or Facebook). If we can get about 20 likes on the posting between the two locations, I will hold a contest for a free copy of the first book.

Have you seen the video? If not then please take a look! It is just a few of the great reasons to adopt instead of buying a new pet!

I've added a few things in the NOTES section of the Facebook fan page. In these you will find:
1. Quotes of Sherlock Cat
- Sherlock tries to have a positive attitude and wants to share advice with his readers.

2. Photo Contest Rules
- This is rules for any free book contests we may have at a future date.

3. Book Reviews for the Series
- While we don't have any book reviews yet, we do have a place for them now.

4. Book Titles and Prices
- This is only partially done. We are just waiting to confirm the price and the link for Createspace.

I've added a few selections in the page TABS too.
1. A Youtube Tab
- that features our latest video. We have these on Freckles' fan page as well.

2. An Author's App Tab
- Lists books from the series as well as how to buy them and a free chapter or two.

3. Pinterest Tab
- We're now on Pinterest! Please note that each series has a separate account.

4. Goodreads Tab
- A list of all the books I've written as well as reviews of other author's books done by my daughter and I.

The free first two chapters that I offered on the website has been updated! It has been edited and also shows the Table of Contents so that you get a sneak peak at the book. I've also uploaded them on fan page in the Author's app tab! As soon as the cover is done, I will be posting a flip book preview onto the website so stay tuned!

1. I've ordered a stamp and expect it soon. The stamp will allow Sherlock to "sign" his books just as Freckles does her's. The stamp is an actual print of Sherlock's and all signed books bought off of this website are signed by the author and him.

2. The cover is closer to done. This means that we will be releasing far sooner then expected so pay attention for any news updates about the book's release. I expect it will now be out no later then the middle of this month!

We've put together two new videos for you today! One of them is is about the real animals from the stories. Many were unwanted and have a special story to share. It's a nice introduction to who they are as well as why adopting a pet is so wonderful! All of our adopted ones in the book came from the Humboldt & District SPCA.

The second is for a song that C.J Bunnycakes sings while she makes buns. She is the bakery owner where Sherlock works. The name C.J Bunnycakes came from my friend with those first initials. She is from England so C.J is an English Lop who keeps tripping over her ears. I had originally only written one verse but a few people heard it and liked it so much that I was asked to do a whole song. The song is now at the back of the book and this video is here for whoever would like to know the tune or sing with it. The song is called, "C.J's Bun Song."
