At a certain point, I don't think it helps for me to keep telling you what *I* think of my books. So, here's a few words from @williamjadams3.bsky.social who recently reviewed COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS!

The book is out on Tuesday!
🔗 www.adamcbassett.com/copper-ash
A portion of a review of Adam's book COPPER SKIN OKAEN LUNGS, written by Bill Adams: "The book is not heavy on the action or mystery but there is a quietness of everyday life in this last bastion [of humanity] that I found really neat. Just the basics of survival, I really enjoyed that." COPPER SKIN OAKEN LUNGS is out Feb 3 and will be available in digital, print, and audiobook formats.

I’m rereading this before I get too much farther into drafting Sortilege bc there’s a lot of little worldbuilding stuff I’ve forgotten.

I will post the occasional comment or snippet below. 🧵

In other news the pizza crust turned out soooo nice. Kinda crispy-crumbly if that makes sense. It’s a particular style. Hard to describe.

This. Exactly this. I felt this so thoroughly in my bones I wrote a poem about it last year.
“I am a trans woman I am a trans woman All I ever want to be is a trans woman It is the song I've hummed for decades But only just learned the words It is the rhythm My bones dance to It is my plumage It is my people It is my heart Oh great chorus Pour from my chest Let me join in the dance Until my voice grows hoarse” Excerpt from Taking the Road Barefoot: Poems on Growth, Trans-ness, and Reaching for Joy Sophia Turner

So hypothetically, if one “goes live” on Bluesky, does the video persist once you’re no longer “live,” and how would people even know you were “going live”

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Image: cover of STRAW MAN by K. A. Silva, illustration by Talhi Briones. Cassie, a Black woman in a flowing cardigan and skirt, looks over her shoulder at Jack, a white man in a suit and tie. Glowing magic vines swirl from Cassie's fingers to curl around Jack. Straw sticks out of his sleeves as he adjusts a cufflink. They stand back to back in a pumpkin patch under a blue sky. Cover for WENDIGOGO by K.A. Silva, art by Sally Jackson: Morty, a white man in blue sweater and jeans, looks suspiciously over his shoulder at the monster looming behind him. It has an elk skull with glowing red eyes and dripping fangs, exposed ribs under dirty fur, and long arms ending in wicked claws. They stand in front of a swirling blizzard of snow at night. image: cover of STRAW SONG by K.A. Silva, illustration by Sandra Chang-Adair. Modern witch Theo, a young white woman with short orange hair wearing a tight bodice, ruffled skirt, and Wiccan jewelry, wields a glowing magic needle and thread. The Scarecrow of Oz stands beside her looking worried, wearing a formal green coat and peaked hat, hefting a shovel as a weapon. They face unseen enemies at dusk in a cornfield. image: cover for STRAW SOUL by K.A. Silva, illustration by Sandra Chang-Adair. The Scarecrow of Oz, in a formal blue coat open to reveal his stitched burlap chest, tugs a handful of straw from his own body, looking determined. Witch Theo, a young white woman with shrt orange hair, wearing a hoodie printed with a pentagram, stands beside him. She clutches a basket of treats protectively and brandishes a broken bottle as a weapon. Spears ring them in, wielded by unseen opponents. They stand ready to defend themselves in a heated cavern far underground, surrounded by stalactites and stalagmites.
