Now: It's that time of year again. School is starting and so much more! Sorry I haven't blogged updates here in a bit but we've been rushing to get back into our house. Some things have been moving far faster then we planned. We are hoping for everything to slow down after next month and for us all to be settled in. In the meantime, here are some updates now & some to expect over the next month or so for all 3 websites: Now: 1. Website I have finally managed to fix those pictures on Freckles' website. 2. School Visits in Your Area I've already posted which areas we will be looking at visiting. The school proposals will explain more but it is free even if we have visited your school before. Feel free to contact us for more information. The areas include: Saskatoon, SK Humboldt, SK Bruno, SK Annaheim, SK Cudworth, SK Muenster, SK Wakaw, SK 3. Erika-Elizabeth's Blog As many know, Erika-Elizabeth is my daughter. She does the crafts for the books & video records them for children to do with her. She also does book reviews for me in her spare time (book reviews are on hold until we can get her computer down here). She has finally posted a second post and will continue to do so as the week progresses. Erika-Elizabeth has also co-authored Freckles' book # 6. Find her blog on Freckles' website & her review's on mine. 4. E-Book Sales We currently have most books down for sale at $2.99 USD. Check them out on Barnes & Noble or Apple/Itunes. 5.

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?![]()
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:
https://www.facebook.com/StuffTheCatDoesntWantYouToKnow To Have a Contest or to Not Have a Contest
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.
Meet the Real Animals of Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series
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!
Facebook Additions 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. Free 1st Two Chapters and Sneak Peak 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! Book Details 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! |
