June Newsletter! Audiobook sale, rewards, and ???

Hi, all!

It's somehow June 10th! Without further ado, let's get this out of the way!

Rewards: I have sent out the official Patreon rewards. For those who are new, these are freebies you can get from me as you accumulate pledges over time. This process is not automated, so if you think I missed you, comment below. Messaging me triples the time it takes to figure out if I missed you and I might not see it for weeks.

Okay, so let's get horny for audiobooks for a moment. Right now, Audible is hosting a massive sale on their website. We have ZERO control over these, so if you are someone who has been waiting to snag some of my audiobooks on the cheap, now is the time!

AUDIOBOOKS: In typical audible fashion, they want you to start a free account or whatever before you can see the prices. Here's a snapshot of what they are going for right now! Most of them are close to their ebook price if you are an Audible Subscriber.

If you want my personal recommendation, you should grab the Omnibus in the title image. It has books 1-4 for about 17 bucks, which is lower than we sold them for when we still could. If you buy any of them, PLEASE make sure to leave some stars. Audible is horny for stars (and so are the early navigators of our planet, that's why we use the term heavenly bodies)

Giveaway: We do have a giveaway going on right now in the Discord channel for some signed paperback books. The giveaway is open to anyone, but it does END TOMORROW. If you enter, make sure you watch your Discord DMs, cause the Head Goblin himself will contact you. If you ignore him, we randomly pick someone else.

On Writing: Last month was easily the hardest month of writing I could remember in recent memory. There were a lot of outside factors, but some of it was definitely health related. After sitting down and trying to do some deep thinking about life and all that stuff, it occurred to me that I've essentially been desk-bound for almost 9 months now. That means I wasn't spending time outside, or even doing basic exercise.

I've made some significant changes to my working lifestyle. I actually bought one of those fancy wireless keyboards that you can write outside with! Sadly, that first keyboard ate shit on the 2nd day I had it and I lost 4k words of Ch. 121 forever.

However, I have written those words back in and am well underway. I would love to have a two chapter month again, but that's gonna depend on how the next week goes. With it being summer break, the Hawthorne household has been pretty busy. Spending more time outside has definitely helped my attitude, and I did spend a couple of lovely weekends gardening. Sadly, no hot dullahan was around to keep the roses pruned, and I totally got a splinter in one of my typing fingers.

I'm back to the salt mines! You all stay classy, and I hope my Northern Hemisphere friends can avoid the heat in the days ahead!
