<\/a>Currently listed on Amazon with 92 titles (including books she\u2019s written and anthologies to which she\u2019s contributed stories), Hoyt has written more than 50 books (including more than 40 novels) by my rough count \u2013 and counting.<\/p>\n
According to a\u00a0Mad Genius Blog post,<\/a> Hoyt plans to write more novels and stories that will appear first on her fiction-focused Substack blog \u2013 with several already appearing serially, chapter by chapter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HOYT NOVELS IN THE WORKS<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI promised to serialize Witch’s Daughter\u00a0<\/em>and Winter Prince\u00a0<\/em>and have them done in a year. I promised 2 chapters each a week… So I started\u00a0Chapter House<\/a>, since I post chapters,\u201d Hoyt writes. In a recent Mad Genius Blog article titled \u201cLessons from Serializing on Substack,\u201d Hoyt discussed her intentions to offer more fiction on her Substack blog \u2013 such as by offering chapter-by-chapter installments of some novels for paying subscribers.<\/p>\n \u201cFor a long time I wanted to have a fiction-only blog and hopefully get the same type of engagement I had on my political blog,” Hoyt wrote.<\/p>\n “Because to be blunt,” she added, “encouragement to write fiction would help, since that’s what I actually set out to do with my life, and also it makes me happy (which politics don’t).”<\/p>\n Indeed.<\/p>\n Art and popular culture do have the potential to make both creators and consumers happier.<\/p>\n When one individual or group wins in politics, others (especially individuals and minorities) inevitably lose – as the historian-economist Murray Rothbard explained in Power and Market<\/em> <\/a>and as the sociologist Franz Oppenheimer documented in describing the fundamental difference between the “political means” and the “economic means” in his classic 1908 book The State.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n HOYT\u2019S REMARKABLE RANGE OF FICTION<\/strong><\/p>\n Hoyt may be best known to LFS members and other freedom-loving sf\/fantasy fans for her Prometheus-winning Darkship Thieves\u00a0<\/em>and its sequels. (Check out the recent Prometheus Blog post announcing her plans to write at least five more novels \u2013 perhaps 10 or more! \u2013 in her Darkship universe.)<\/p>\n Yet, she\u2019s always published books across a wide variety of genres \u2013 including science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical mystery, historical fantasy and historical biography.<\/p>\n For instance, Hoyt\u2019s started writing novels about Barbarella, updating the French comic series and 1968 Jane Fonda film about the sexy, powerful space adventurer.<\/p>\n Barbarella: Woman Untamed<\/em>, Hoyt\u2019s latest, will be published May 7 in paperback.<\/p>\n The 45-page collection of four holiday-themed stories is available on Amazon as a Kindle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By the way, Hoyt proudly mentions the Prometheus Award in her brief Substack self-description:<\/p>\n \u201cBest selling, Dragon and Prometheus award winner of science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical fiction and whatever else crosses her mind. Also columnist.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out Hoyt’s Substack column Schrodinger’s Path.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PROMETHEUS AWARDS:<\/strong><\/p>\n * Prometheus winners:\u00a0<\/strong>For the full list of Prometheus winners, finalists and nominees \u2013 including the annual Best Novel and Best Classic Fiction (Hall of Fame) categories and occasional Special Awards \u2013 visit the enhanced\u00a0Prometheus Awards page<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>on the LFS website, which now includes convenient links to all published essay-reviews in our Appreciation series explaining why each of more than 100 past winners since 1979 fits the awards\u2019 distinctive dual focus.<\/p>\n * Read \u201cThe Libertarian History of Science Fiction,\u201d<\/strong><\/a>an essay in the international magazine\u00a0Quillette<\/em>\u00a0that favorably highlights the Prometheus Awards, the Libertarian Futurist Society and the significant element of libertarian sf\/fantasy in the evolution of the modern genre.<\/p>\n *\u00a0Watch <\/strong>videos of past Prometheus Awards ceremonies (including the recent 2023 ceremony<\/a> with inspiring and amusing speeches by Prometheus-winning authors Dave Freer<\/a> and Sarah Hoyt)<\/a>, Libertarian Futurist Society panel discussions with noted sf authors and leading libertarian writers, and other LFS programs on the Prometheus Blog\u2019s\u00a0Video page.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n * Check out the Libertarian Futurist Society\u2019s Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0for periodic updates and links to Prometheus Blog posts.<\/p>\n *\u00a0Join us! <\/em><\/strong>To help sustain the Prometheus Awards and support a cultural and literary strategy to appreciate and honor freedom-loving fiction, \u00a0join<\/a>the Libertarian Futurist Society, a non-profit all-volunteer association of freedom-loving sf\/fantasy fans.<\/p>\n Libertarian futurists believe that culture matters! We understand that the arts and literature can be vital in envisioning a freer and better future – and in some ways can be even more powerful than politics in the long run, by better visions of the future, innovation, peace, prosperity, positive social change, and mutual respect for each other\u2019s rights, individuality and human dignity.<\/p>\n Through recognizing the literature of liberty and the many different but complementary visions of a free future via the Prometheus Awards, the LFS hopes to help spread better visions of the future that help humanity overcome tyranny, end slavery, reduce the threat of war, repeal or constrain other abuses of coercive power and achieve universal liberty, respect for human rights and a better world (perhaps ultimately, worlds) for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Michael Grossberg Prometheus-winning author Sara Hoyt is nothing if not prolific \u2013 with quite a few novels in progress.

\n<\/a>
\n\u201c…Then I added No Man’s Land<\/em>, the novel that apparently won’t let me write anything else unless I write a chapter a day, and which was the first novel that appeared fully formed in my head when I was 14 and also has been known as “the d*mned novel” for years because… well, it’s my answer to The Left Hand of Darkness<\/em>, okay?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Because in free societies and in free markets, based on mutual consent, it\u2019s a win-win situation in which everyone benefits.
