A draft needs time to rest between edits. I'll give Fellow Tetrapod the time it needs, then come back for one last pass of the red pen before I publish it on Kindle Unlimited. If you too would like to edit Fellow Tetrapod, please find the PDF, MOBI, and EPUB of the whole manuscript on my Patreon for free. Please send me feedback.

I expect to publish Fellow Tetrapod in June 2024. Until that time, it will remain freely available on Royal Road. This "muscle" draft (it moves but isn't always pretty) will always be available on my Patreon.

What about the next novel? In September I plan to begin the serialization of The World's Other Side, an alternate history in which the high-tech Gondwanan civilization conquered the Northern Hemisphere. There are humanoid maglev drones that shoot lightning, hologram-projecting jewelry, and a young man who sees no alternatives between terrorism and the extinction of his people. He also has a Gondwanan rooming in his house. She doesn't have a clue.

If that sounds like a story you'd enjoy, you might want a reminder when I begin serializing it in September. Please follow me on Royal Road, Patreon, Substack, or my own website. There, you will also find other stories including "Culinary International: The Rising Agent," and "Well, Boom." My novels Junction, Interchange, and Groom of the Tyrannosaur Queen are available on Amazon. You might also enjoy the comic book First Knife.

See you in September,

Daniel M. Bensen
