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. 😁

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!
The Stars Within is part of a project to supply books to people who had a hard life and are trying to get back on their feet called the @tailwindprojects.bsky.social
I'm really happy and proud to be a small part of their journey. Especially since this is the first review it got!

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! 😁🙌🏻💚📚💨

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. 😉

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.

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.

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. 🎉😁📚

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. 😉

Okay. I have this #scifibook series that #scifireaders have kind of liked. It’s a bit like The Expanse and Firefly with a large splash of Aliens (the movie) action. My friend Cory @flameinc.bsky.social or @tailwindprojects.bsky.social is offering a chance of the first 3 books for zero cost! #scifi

I’ll break the suspense - @williamjadams3.bsky.social book was the first one asked for. That cover paying in spades!
The second before I left for the weekend was @ctphipps.bsky.social . This guy didn’t even tell me prior he was a reader. My man locked eyes with “Cthulhu” and put a hand out. 😂

I present another book I was an ARC reader for, by @collinsauthors.bsky.social ! Gosh did I love this story. It was light in just the right ways for the mood I was in. Certainly recommended, and while I don't KNOW who your cover artist was.. they earned a raise.

In the Name of Honor
What would you risk to save someone you loved from a fate worse than death?
A half-elven princess, grieving the loss of one father and fearing for the other.
A loyal guardsman, torn between his oath...

This is how Tailwind communicates with artists, creatives, and paid contractors for us as a whole. I'm showing you a screenshot of the DM for full transparency. Before money changes hands, expect some scrutiny.
You should expect it of me, I should expect it of you.
It's just professional.

This week I'm putting up the photos of the first 7 books for the Tailwind Project's heading, Project Phoenix! These are going to the campus library of a substance abuse rehab in Upstate New York! The shelves of this library aren't your typical, but the need is certainly as great. ⬇️

2: books I already own but not THIS version!
2: books I’ve already read digitally but wanted physical of.
4: books I’ve bought with far more ambition than time.
8 books arrived today. 😂📚💙 #BookSky
