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.

#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:

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?

Okay, I just have to brag a little. Sorry, not sorry.

Some unknown promo dropped for South Breaks yesterday in my evening, and it pushed the book up the free bestseller lists.

Very happy with it. 🎉

New review for "Sun Burns", but the reviewer speaks for the whole series:

"I've enjoyed ALL the characters' own stories [...] Am re-reading the series now waiting for #8 and picking up on details I missed on the first romp thru the 7 books."

This warms my heart in the difficult times we face. If you like feel-good stories, this series is for you!

Book 1- "South Breaks" - is free!

So, I think a successful FB successor needs to be something independent and federated. Mastodon does Twitter reasonably well.

I guess #FreeBook, as I would call it should run on federated servers. Users could publish their own feeds, kind of like ATOM (should have said RSS) worked for with blogs. You put your feed on your server and people that know you subscribe. You should be able to unsubscribe people as well. Should handle various media well.
