"This little book was written to accomplish something big: economic literacy. It is intentionally kept very short to be inviting rather than intimidating, as economics books typically are. If I managed to meet this bar, you, the reader, will gain life-changing understanding of how the economy works in practically no time. This is lots of value at a very low cost." — Per Bylund.

Today, I want to share about a series of mine that doesn't get a lot of love - The Franssisi Four Chronicles.

It's very different from my usual writing. For once, it's SF. For another, it is very spicy. *VERY* spicy. Fair warning.

Tropes include alien overlords, humans as pets, polyamory, survival in the wilderness, lots of secrets and stone age tech in an SF story.

"Decoy" is book 1, and it's free everywhere.

Promotional image for Decoy, by Joanna Steenen/Hannah Steenbock. It shows a bright planet in a black starfield, with the sun peeking around the curve of the planet. There's the cover of Decoy, and more promotional text. The cover of Decoy shows an alien landscape, with a strange rock-structure that might be a high-tech town. It sits close to a lake with lush bushes and trees. A huge moon looms in a pale blue sky with a few clouds. The text on the cover reads: Hannah Steenbock writing as Joanna Steenen Decoy The Franssisi Four Chronicles Book 1 The promotional text reads: A human colony taken by Aliens A young man fighting for freedom. An alien who isn’t evil. A caring scientist If you like SF without high tech, if you enjoy relationships with more than one partner, if you root for the underdogs without much hope – this series is for you. Decoy is book 1 – and free in all stores!

#ScribesAndMakers 4/12. Shameless self-promotion day. Show us what you're proud of. Let's boost away.

I am really proud of the 30+ books I have published since 2013. I have three (four) major series, plus several short stories.

The best, however, is making semi-finalist in SPFBOX, with South Breaks.

The review is awesome:

Promotional image for South Breaks by Hannah Steenbock. The image shows the cover of the book (brown, yellow and light purple clouds, with an Aztec pyramid in the background, with a compass rose hovering above the pyramid). The text reads: What is South Breaks about? "...the healing power of love […] and of sacrifice (ironically), the nature of grief, the pernicious tendency of religious manipulation, and the acceptance of mortality, especially in the light of love and family." Vaughn Roycroft, in the review that made South Breaks an SPFBO semi-finalist. Available in all stores for free.

If #civilization began again from scratch, what kinds of societies would evolve next time? #Communal, #capitalist. #theocratic, #meritocratic, #secular, #egalitarian, #exploitive? Societies are usually a combination of these types, but do they always combine as we expect them to? Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance? Tomorrow is the last day I’ll be giving away my novel HUMAN to FediHumans. Visit bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

Monday Markething!

Today, I want to share the trope matrix for South Breaks, the first book in my Winds & Pillars series.

South Breaks made semi-finalist in SPFBO last year, something I'm very, very proud of. The review from that is quite amazing.

And you know, the ebook is free! What keeps you from trying it out?

Trope matrix for “South Breaks, Winds of Destiny Book 1”, by Hannah Steenbock. The brown-yellowish cover shows an Aztec Pyramid on a cloudy background. Above the pyramid, a silver compass rose hovers in a ball of energy, with four points and four bubbles between them. The South point is golden, the rest are silver. Swirls decorate the outer edge of the cover. Grouped around the cover are the following keywords: strong female MC, clever mule, magic, riveting adventure, evil priests, lost family, satisfying ending, award-winning indie author.

When writing the acknowledgements for my novel HUMAN it occurred to me that one of the greatest debts I owe is to all the authors that I’ve read throughout my life. Not only classic literature, fantastical tales and heartbreaking stories, but also non-fiction, whether about #science or #history, #economics or home renovation. In fact, why stop there? I must also include scientific papers, newspaper articles, blogs, and all the various and sundry writings I’ve ever come across.
Together, they provided me with the rich tapestry of stories and facts which have smashed around in my head and resulted in creative thoughts of my own. They also provided me with the knowledge of how to write. I never really learned how to write a story, I’ve only intuited how to do so through reading what others have written.
So I would like to thank everyone who has ever let loose written words into the world. I’ve made HUMAN free this week for all #FediHumans. Visit bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB.
