Update: This was a stupid goal, there was in fact zero chance I could have conveyed the manuscript this weekend lol. But I did write 10,000+ words in two days, and I'm probably ~20,000 from actually finishing it. I won't be able to keep this pace (work, an event...), but it's still great progress!

My local Barnes & Noble in Burlington, Vermont just informed me that two of my books have been placed on one of their featured shelves. DIGITAL EXTREMITIES and ANIMUS PARADOX on the top row. Both are signed. If you're in the area you know what to do. 🫶

In case you missed the post on Friday... 😊

Vermont! I'll be signing books & speaking on some panels about writing & publishing at the VT Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror Expo! If you're in the area, I'll be at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction on April 25th & 26th. 📚💙

Going to try to keep off socials this weekend and focus on writing. There's a non-zero chance I can finish this draft of the manuscript in the next week. 🤞

Happy Friday, all! Check out my books pls 🫶

I will continue to use Draft2Digital for the foreseeable future, to make sure my eBooks are accessible on whatever eReader you prefer—including libraries. My thoughts / reasoning for this below 🧵

My sci-fi thriller ANIMUS PARADOX was accepted into the 2026 Indieverse Awards! I'm so excited that this action-packed little novel will have a moment to shine alongside so many other amazing indie books in this event. 💛 www.indieverseawards.com/2026-nominees

We've got another exciting cover reveal today, this time for Together Is a Distant Star, a new SFF anthology featuring stories from indie greats on the theme of belonging: www.readindiefantasy.com/cover-reveal...

I'm excited to share the new map I illustrated for Alex Perez's novel BRIDE TO THE FOX DEMON! I had a lot of fun with this one, its Japanese-inspired architecture, forests mixed with trees and mushrooms. 📚💙

I'll have to take a closer look at the Draft2Digital news (adding maintenance fees) later but I already go direct with the major eBook platforms, and I don't use it for print books...

March 2026 reads— VISPILIO by Audrey D. DeBoer is a Robin Hood-inspired fantasy tale filled with court intrigue and drama. WE'RE ALONE is a collection of non-fiction essays musing on a variety of experiences and observations by Edwidge Danticat.

Getting hard to hold all these books I've published. 😂

A gentle reminder, don't mistake volume for consensus.

For when you need a short book to read. Each of my books are <300 pages and all work as standalones (though the sci-fi titles have some connections, and there's a sequel planned for CSOL).💙📚 Each is available wide, as well as at several independently-owned bookstores! www.adamcbassett.com/all-books

📚🐍🐝 New review! 🐝🐍📚 The Hive by @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social "Like Stranger Things meets Needful Things, The Hive is a puzzle box nightmare of a community gone weird whose endless disquieting horror keeps you in a frozen state of lingering unease until its apocalyptic finale"

Hit a major milestone on the book I'm writing last night, roughly 50–60% through this draft. I fucking love this story, and I'm dying to share more... But I have a rule against saying too much until a 100% complete draft exists. Getting closer every day, though.

Intl. women's day has come and gone, but there are still a ton of amazing women who deserve their flowers. Here's a few more of my favorite books by women. ONE FOR ALL by @lillielainoff.bsky.socialis a really fun YA gender-bent reimagination of THE THREE MUSKETEERS with great POTS representation.

WOLF WORM from @tkingfisher.com was my first foray into her works, but it won't be my last. As a "fascinating historical gothic novel," WOLF WORM delivers on the creepiness and the creatures. @macmillanaudio.bsky.social @fanfiaddict.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-wolf-...

Very pleased to say that I am booked up on map commissions for the next few months! Will share more once I can but suffice it to say that if you're looking for somebody to help with your fantasy/sci-fi maps, I won't be available until late after May. 😄 www.adamcbassett.com/map-design

A little excerpt from my short cyberpunk thriller novel, set in near-future Italy. I had so much fun with the action in this story. The book's available wherever you read or listen! It's technically book 2, but operates perfectly well as a standalone—several reviews can attest to that! 📚💙

If you're looking for a sample of my work, or a way to check out a ton of sci-fi / fantasy / horror authors, you need to pick up this anthology. My story, "Three Minutes and Counting," follows a fighter who's upsetting the pro scene, using a mysterious artifact to empower himself in the ring...

Book review 💙📚 THE WRECKING SQUAD by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social, narrated by Ryan Pierson, is a great time. It reminds me of those fun space-fairing adventures like Firefly, The Expanse, and Mass Effect in the best ways. Highly recommend checking this one out! 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-w...

"[COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS] is probably my book of the month ... I describe this in my review as quietly brilliant." @afictionalescapist.bsky.social spends 3 min. absolutely glazing my new post-apocalyptic fantasy book in this monthly wrapup. Thanks for reading, friend! 💙📚 youtu.be/ZUKg3kQa6w4?...

Vermont was in the news recently, after an 🧊 raid in South Burlington. I haven't seen a lot of discussion since then, except for some confusion and misinformation. The raid detained three people. 3/3 have been released. It's not over here, but I wanted to share that. 💙

The novel that I'm currently writing includes a dramatis personae which has 45 characters listed (so far). I'm trying really hard not to introduce any others from here on out. 😅

Weekends are for reading, getting distracted by my phone, and finished the page I'd started 20 minutes later.

Okay I wasn't totally being serious when I asked if we could hit 50 ratings before April, but... I just need one more. 👀 If you've read DIGITAL EXTREMITIES and haven't left a rating or review on Goodreads yet, please don't forget to! Or, check out the book if you're looking for a quick read! 📚💙
