Introducing the CFG Book Series

AACB is delighted to partner with the Canadian Freelance Guild (CFG) in the CFG Books Series. Our collaboration was kicked off with the delightful Lyn Hancock the author of Tabasco The Saucy Racoon. 

This interview was one heck of a ride! I will say...there has never been NOR WILL THERE EVER BE an interview quite like this one! Lyn Hancock is a wildly wonderful storyteller who has a TON of wildly wonderful stories to tell. 

About Author Lyn Hancock

Lyn is an award-winning Australian-Canadian photojournalist, wildlife photographer, teacher and author. She has raised numerous orphaned wild animals, including bears, cougars, eagles, puffins, raccoons, and seals; her experiences while doing so have formed the basis of her 20 books.

About "Tabasco The Saucy Racoon"

At three weeks, Tabasco is a tiny, helpless ball of fluff. Already, the little raccoon’s life is unusual: tucked into Lyn’s pocket or tote bag, Tabasco accompanies Lyn on a cross-country tour, making friends every step of the way. By the time they get home, Tabasco is ready to explore the world—inch by exciting, fragrant, tactile inch. Nothing is safe from Tabasco’s clever paws. Dogs run and horses stand still when Tabasco comes to call. For some, the raccoon’s like her namesake: a little goes a long, long way. But children flock from all around to play with Lyn’s busy, talkative friend. Much as Lyn loves Tabasco, she knows that raccoons are wild creatures, not house pets. The story of Lyn Hancock’s search for a new, wild home for her beloved companion will melt your heart. Young and old alike will treasure the unforgettable tale of Tabasco, The Saucy Raccoon.
