With the release of my novel HUMAN, I’d like to thank my multi-talented son, @ryanhodnett It is in large part his commitment to the #fediverse that has inspired me to make #HUMAN free for #FediHumans during the first week of it’s launch (use the code ‘fedihuman’ at https://bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.html).
First of all, I'd like to thank Ryan for his direct assistance with the creation of HUMAN, without which, the process would have been much more painful and fraught, and the resulting story would have suffered greatly. Specifically, I would like to thank him for the creation of my website, the majority of the design and creation of the book cover, and the formatting of #HUMAN into an EPUB.
Ryan’s edits of a later draft were indispensable, and his input on the broad conceptual components of the book, as well as his identification of inconsistencies, made a huge difference to the quality of the tale.
Quite apart from Ryan’s specific contributions to this book, our long discussions on disparate topics unrelated to this book fertilized my imagination and led to many of the ideas within these pages. For that, as well as for the inspiration I derive from how Ryan approaches the world, and simply for his existence in it, I am also grateful.
