The Grounds Keeper

Update

Hi everyone, it's only me this time.
First of all, I just wanted to be the 1st person to wish you all a merry Christmas and a joyful festive season. I know I've been remiss with uploads of late, and I promise you it's not due to any lack of work on my part. Having the opportunity to write for you all has ignited a confidence in myself that I never knew I had, and so I've been working on my first ever stand-alone book. Something far less complex than the tale of the Groundskeeper. And something that can be read in a timely and enjoyable manner.

As a result, my work on the former has slowed down as I truly want to focus on actually finishing a book for the 1st time ever. Something that would make me say the proud and joyful words "I am an Author"... even typing it brings me a giddy feeling ☺️. So please be patient with me. And I promise you the moment it's complete, you guys will be the 1st to know. I strive to have it done by Christmas as a little gift to you all who have supported me and driven me.

It will be the 1st ever book of my new series, the Professor.which will be a series of unreleated short stories that revolve around the adventures of Professors Antonio Cardinelli. An expert in monsters, the uncanny, and the occult. In a world where many such things are common place.

So please continue to watch this space for more. And I hope you all have an amazing day

Regards your honored author and friend

Anthony Sarkis

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! This year is shaping up to be incredible, and I couldn't be more excited to share something special with you all—MY FIRST EVER BOOK! Woohoo!

I must confess, though, that this journey has taken longer than I anticipated. I had no idea how challenging it would be to create and publish a full novella. From the artwork to the editing and all the other intricacies involved, it's a painstaking process. At times, I find that writing is the easiest part of it all, especially when I've come to love the concept and the character of Professor Antonio (named after my grandfather, by the way—not me! Though I was named after him too, so it all comes full circle, doesn't it?).

I'm excited to share that I will be publishing the entire book for free on Wattpad for the next month (until February 6th). After that, I'll keep the first six chapters available, and if you feel inspired to support me financially, you'll have the option to purchase the book on Amazon. This project has truly been a labor of love, polished and refined with the help of my amazing cousin, Saydie Grace, who also introduced me to Wattpad (she's fantastic!). Your support would mean the world to me and might even allow me to repay her with something more than just grilled cheese sandwiches!

Here's the link to the book: [Tale of Two Sisters](https://www.amazon.com.au/Tale-Two-Sisters-Professors-Mission-ebook/dp/B0DRDYY313/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VEH6jnM5herdprguuHzFxM1rscCfQFQsggBw7fisyrDTQxql_ve4D8mWdPoRfR2t9_NlUQeLk9_pIJk1phhaI-AP6F8yfJGh-XGjBQPyg7g.BK90B3DPMMEnbKYl1nLt2Knd3LdznaxMLsNqus5Vaa0&dib_tag=se&qid=1736110257&refinements=p_27%3AAnthony+Sarkis&s=books&sr=1-1).

(I know it's a long link, but I'm a quarry saw operator, not an IT guy! Please copy and paste the whole thing; I'll work on getting a shorter link in the future.)

I'm excited to share that I will be resuming my work on *The Groundskeeper* and will begin uploading more chapters starting today, January 6th. However, due to the unexpected success of my project, *The Professor series*, I'll be juggling both projects simultaneously, which presents its own set of challenges. As Ron Swanson famously said, "Don't half-ass two jobs; whole-ass one." I plan to prove him wrong by immersing myself in this creative endeavor, typing away on my old laptop with determination and fervor.

I truly hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor over the past few months. Without further ado, I'm thrilled to present to you *The Tale of Two Sisters*. I hope you find as much joy in reading it as I did in writing it for all of you. Happy reading!

With all my love,

Your honored (Published, hehe) Author and Friend,

ANTHONY SARKIS
