April: the Seasons of Sun, Sick, & Taxes

Oh my wow! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

I need to stop telling the universe my plans.
So, I'm well past 600 pages in my word doc, still writing Book 10, getting ever-closer to the end. Will I finish the draft this month? Jeebuz, I don't know. The more excited I get, the busier life gets. Always the way, it seems.
I've been greatly enjoying the increased sun, but not so much smack of illnesses in my loves ones or the taxes but... better than the other certainty, I suppose? AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

Anyhoo... the longer I talk about how I'm writing, the more I'm not writing, so I'll link you to my first website update in a while and let it do a little talking:
ETASKI.COM SPRING UPDATE
The cover reveal for Book 10 will come when I've finished this big battle but before I've finished the Sivaraus chapters. That will be my celebration! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

Just buckle down, turn on the epic tunes, and get it done! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

Now for the kitty tax!

We met Angus the Maine Coon in a winter newsletter. He's under a year old but a huge cat. I've heard from others that Maine Coons are really chill and "the dog of cats."
Still a cat, though. AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

Curious what I'm doing and enjoys being seen but stand-offish. I've been waiting to see if he'll become comfortable enough around me to let me pet him.
Well, the day finally came! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

And not just pets in one spot, but in another, too. By the end, he was feeling downright worshipped. AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

And that coat is so soft and floofy!

I never pressure a kitty to be petted, but I'll admit it's nice when one's patience is rewarded. Worth the wait! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

Did you know subscribers can read something from me every month?

Yup! Long and intricate series require patience, planning, & consistent progress every month. Equally patient supporters are critical.
Join me on Ko-Fi or on Patreon for $5/mo. Read monthly, receive the finished book, & join the fun on my Discord server!

You can also join my Patreon for Free and be notified by email of all my public posts. Patreon gets news and World Anvil articles quicker than my newsletters, and in smaller, bite-sized chunks! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72

As my free members grow, I'll be throwing in more teasers and behind-the-scenes stuff, too!
[Although right now, I'm just trying to finish Book 10; there will be more interesting stuff once that's in the bag! AS ETASKI * On the Cusp! ✍ ???? Plus for LOTR Fans & Book Fairs! * 72
