Caswell, Erika-Elizabeth: - Erika-Elizabeth is Vickianne Caswell's only child. She has been a big supporter of Freckles the Bunny Series books. She has helped with numerous parts of the series like listening to the stories and sharing input, joining her mother for school visits while helping out, helping care for the animals, helping voice some of the videos and so much more. Erika-Elizabeth has always been fond of animals. Her favorite animal is a cat. While she was in her mother's womb, she and Boots bonded. Every morning at 7AM, she would begin kicking. Boots would lay upon Vickianne's side and purr, putting Erika-Elizabeth to sleep. They have been best friends since and Boots still goes to bed with her until she is asleep. She developed her mom's great love for animals and creativeness. she sometimes draws animals and perhaps one day will publish stories of her own with her drawings. She is now in the process of illustrating a children's book.
Caswell, Vickianne: - Vickianne Caswell is married and has one daughter, who has an amazing gift with animals (all animals, wild or tame seem to love her). Vickianne was raised an animal lover, in the cities of Saskatoon and Regina. She has been writing at home since she was a teenager, after her father got her interested in writing when he published a poem. She has done a few articles for a small paper on animal care and continues to experience the joys of pet ownership on an acreage where the family now lives. Vickianne began writing again in 2012 after the quiet life and animals on an acreage inspired her and is now a proud member of the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild. She had wanted to create a set of children's stories in memory of her rabbit Freckles and the desire to teach morals that are sometimes forgotten. She published her first book in the series entitled, "Freckles the Bunny Series" in 2012. Since that time, she has published 4 more books in the series and a companion book that shares information about the real animals from the stories. Vickianne is currently on her second series as well. "Sherlock the Remarkable Cat Series," was published in January of 2014. She has won a Readers Favourite 5 Star Review Award for most of her stories. Vickianne's children's books are based on her real pets with the same unique personalities. Many were unwanted, strays or rescues and each special in their own way. Every book in each series comes with "Fun Facts" and a "Behind the Story" at the back of every book. She is always more then happy to visit a school with Freckles III and put on a presentation/story hour for children.
Drogaitseva, Anastasia: - Anastasia Drogaitseva grew up in a small town near Moscow, Russia. She has always loved animals, collecting pictures and small calendars of different kinds of animals. Her favorites are dolphins and red pandas. She started to draw at an early age and taught herself. Growing up, she had a series of drawings of a sad panda family and a family of crocodiles, that her grandmother still keeps somewhere. At 10 years of age, her mom bought her a kitten, a three-colored kitten named Ponka. She loved her very much and cared for her until Ponka passed away when Anastasia was 18. She is still greatly missed. Anastasia graduated from school in 2008 and finished her final year at the Moscow State Linguistic University in 2013. She now works as a freelance artist and illustrator and still tutors 2 students. She is planning to get a second, higher education in Arts, as she has always dreamed of becoming a cartoonist and creating her own movies. 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!
