Tailwind Projects

Eyyyy!! Adam is awesome and I was coming to tag him that I just loaned out the print copy of another of his books for Project Phoenix!

You best believe I’ll be adding this one to it.. you should buy a copy too, and one for someone you think would like it. 😁📚💨

Ooooo we got a shelf for books coming for Project Phoenix! 🐦‍🔥

Thank you so much to the authors who wanted to donate a copy! 💚 You make this a delight! I’m adding others to the buy list for later in the month!

January was a ridiculous month.. but resilience is never a dump stat. 🦾🦿⚙️🙌🏻

Feel free to ask me if you don’t know any awesome authors.

I collect them like seashells. You know, the husk of something that used to be full of life until the world made it write a story or be an alarming evening news report.

Good books, though!
😁📚💨

Shadows Upon Time (The Sun Eater, #7) The seventh and final novel of the galaxy-spanning seri…

I started the year with Chonkers with a definite capital C! Defiance of the Fall 16, then Twelve Months, now Shadows Upon Time. It's the last book, I can't jump to something else.. haha. About 1/5th of the way in, but I'm definitely in the mood for it!

This is one of the February additions to Project Phoenix! Check out Mark's books! :D

What reading sessions are complete without a lil furry critter to sit on your lap?! Took this handsome 1yr old pup to the groomers last week. 😁💚📚

💰- Design! Next spending is the logos, committed to mid-Feb for the website versions. M, you’ll see the email. 😁

💵 - Artists 1 and 2 - proofs will be held, I’ll add my ideas for small edits. Deposit will be as soon as the other funds free up. End of Feb is the goal. Will be in touch.

End of January updates!

🐦‍🔥 Project Phoenix is full steam ahead! Second round of (my) book buying in late Feb! There’s rumbles at work that maybe they’ll contribute too.. 🤞

🏡 Project Homecoming is THRILLED with the books that have come so far to this rural library full of heart. Thank you, 💚🫂.

The latest SPACE ACADEMY book, SPACE ACADEMY GRADUATES is now out, ending the six book series. The world's worst crew return to Space Academy to see how they can screw up their alma mater. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #books #bookreleases #humor #scifi #indiebooks

Thank you to those who’ve reached out to send books in for Project Phoenix! 🐦‍🔥.

I’ve got a list started for my next round of buying also! I do need some indie author names for:
Cozy Mystery
Romance (most any subgenres)
Police/Legal Thrillers

Any ideas for those categories - jot them here!

This is the first handwritten review from one of the Project Phoenix folks! I help patients from all backgrounds and education levels, but this guy LOVED the idea of ARC reviews and wanted to write his first draft! Shared with permission, he’s off to his next journey with books in hand!

I know that name! You’re one of my FFA folks. 😁. Automatically in! Send me a link to buy one of everything!

I have been wildly busy the last month but I have many awesome updates to share and the next round of book buying starts ending this month!

I’m especially looking for -
Sci-fi
Fantasy
Cozy mysteries
Romance (anything not extremely explicit)
Court room dramas

Until then, here’s a Good Boy! 😁🙌🏻💚📚💨

January Updates!

Getting back into current things now that we’re through the holidays!

Web dev! - I’ll be in touch!
Artists! - If we’ve agreed on a $ amount, aiming for the end of the month. Big expenses are slain for Jan. 😉
Authors! - Separate post. 😁

I start every year with 100, though it’s often higher. A good friend likes a friendly competition so I gave her a week headstart. 😉

Post holiday chaos mayyyy be subsiding?!

That would be amazing, then I can go back to book things. 😁📚💨

It's nice working a job where I get to read most of the night.. anyone else happy with their reading this year?

🚨 ALERT! 🚨

Ooo a Bounty has crossed the gaze of Tailwind and gamers in general!

Here’s my problem - detectivehawkgames.com/products/eld....
It’s a rare expansion for Elder Sign, held up by the tariffs on a real reprint.

Find me a trustworthy link, and Tailwjnd will show up with prizes! 💨🏆🥇🙌🏻🎖️

Happy New Years all! Here’s a dog!

The pup sulked REAL hard that I wouldn’t share with him. Then I rubbed his belly and he went comatose. 😂

Not even a twitch. My lvl 1 Sleep spell being upcast at 3rd is formidable.

This spoiled lil emotional support pup has figured out he can trust me.

And I give the best scritches in 3 counties. 😉😂

As I was asked - YES! Tailwind takes direct donations from interested authors. If you’d like to send me your books, I will put them to good use. I’ve held off on SAYING this because my intent is to 💰 PAY YOU 💰

If you insist on reckless and good hearted.. I guess I can’t throw stones. DM me 😉

I’ll give you a sneak preview -

FOUR of the seven first books have been finished!

Incredibly positive reception from ALL.

The men are discussing the books amongst themselves AND me. Each finished book was enjoyed!

One of the men, learned what an ARC reviewer is.. and wrote a first draft. 🎉😁📚

I know it’s been quiet, but WOW folks, things are advancing! Many more details next week when I get caught up!

The authors involved in Project Phoenix, you made a real difference this holiday season. Thank you. 💚

Honestly I think it’s a point of reference you and he share that hasn’t dawned yet on him. Haha

So this guy expressed an interest in writing a review of it too. He brought this up as a great sober activity (much as I did for myself) and I said I’d pass it on to you. 😁

@ctphipps.bsky.social He finished it! The review, “it was definitely weirder than what I’ve read before.. do you know if he’s written any more??”

😁🙌🏻

@ctphipps.bsky.social I’m not sure what the guy who borrowed the Cthulhu book is doing. There’s quiet chanting and he’s mad about fish fry Fridays but nothing specific yet. 😂

@alexarch.bsky.social “Can I borrow that one? I love sci-fi.. never heard of this guy, but I like the description and the cover!” That was yesterday on my way out.

Feedback for the first 3 books borrowed so far,

@williamjadams3.bsky.social “man, he uses a lot of words to describe other words. Once I grabbed onto that it was a lot easier. Can you look up these two words for me?”(Cruor, and feculent). He’s up to the market attack. 😉

You know, Santa’s bag still has a few copies of @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social ‘s first 3 ebooks in The Wrecking Squad!

Open to any authors or readers who are interested! I’ve reviewed and loved them! 💚📚💨
