This book was a lot of fun! Great writing and memorable characters, what else does a reader need? Thanks for sharing it and congrats! It was also the first serial I’ve read from beginning to end on Substack.
Well a big reason I have it available for free was that it hasn't had a professional edit, and it was a project I never thought I'd ever share (glad I did though.) And yeah, although I went over each chapter a couple times before posting there are certainly a few janky parts, especially considering I wrote the first draft in 2020 and my writing has changed a lot since then. The ebook will be what I've posted here, and so despite only having my self-edits done, it should be a better reading experience for those who prefer that.
That fact that people have been enjoying it warts-and-all, just blows my mind. It's been really cool to see.
I don't know when I'll be posting another serial, but I've got updates to future "proper" novels and of course there'll still be short stories and poetry.
If I were to ever get PMU a professional edit, of course being budget dependant, I'm hoping to get some artwork done and do a nice hardback or something. We'll see!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
It was a helluva journey. Not the ending I expected, and Tanner's ability to crossover sure leaves room for a continuation.
Congratulations on finishing.
It was a fun ride.
Thanks! I'm so grateful that you've stuck with it from beginning to end... honestly your support has meant so, so much.
I'm glad I found it. It's the only serial I've finished on here. In fact, the only other one I've ever finished is Josh Malerman 's Carpenter's Farm.
That's high praise, thank you!
You're welcome. Finishing that is a great accomplishment. Probably should give it one more editing pass before you release on eBook.

Illustrated would be amazing. I'd love to see the horses. I'd love to see a lot of it, but especially the horses.
