Hey all.. got news this morning that a close family member had passed suddenly overnight. Iโ€™m gonna be handling things with that for a bit - but I am still here. ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒ„

I roped in the Activities Director and weโ€™re gonna STUFF the work vans! Iโ€™m VERY optimistic that Iโ€™ll be able to use some of it with local self published authors Iโ€™ve been in contact with and some of you!

Getting books to people, especially those who theyโ€™ll greatly benefit - is what I love. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’จ

๐Ÿšจ Project Phoenix gets a huge boost!

I provide books to my unit in an inpatient addiction rehab. Another employee runs a lil library too. Our work on this became very visible the last few months (๐Ÿ˜‰).

HUGE local library book sale in 3 weeks, and the CEO authorized a chunk of money for it!! ๐Ÿ’ฐ

(I suppose if youโ€™d really like to, you could rewrite that with nice fonts and arranging into an 8x11 page or 11x8 printable paper with all that info on the whiteboard. Credit yourself! Artist/Author name and website link, cover art, etc)

Project Homecoming ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ“š is also running to get these same authors into libraries. Iโ€™m working with my local as well as my hometown library to get some really cool books on shelves!

Many Special Edition purchases and donations have ended up there!

Same as above, if interested, contact me here. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’จ

Iโ€™m in contact with several freelance artists who are working on actual logos, domain name has been purchased, and weโ€™re slowwwwwly getting off the ground! (Iโ€™m happy with the artists I have)

If youโ€™re interested in helping, want me to know about your books, curious about Tailwind, etc - say hey!

Thank you so much for all the support, friends!

If you donโ€™t know, Project Phoenix ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿฆโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ is a book loan program I offer at my job, an inpatient addiction rehab.

All books are purchased from or donated by self published, indie, or small press authors - most of whom Iโ€™ve done ARC reviews for.

Iโ€™ll post a few of the reviews with the comments from readers:

@ajcalvin.bsky.social โ€œI thought this would be more hard sci-fi like I read as a kid.. thereโ€™s a lot of mature themes in this that make you think. Itโ€™s a lot deeper! What did you think aboutโ€ฆโ€

Long double at work Sunday! Iโ€™ll clock in at 3:00pm and be there till 9am. ๐Ÿ˜

Holidays in rehab far from family are TOUGH. Iโ€™ve done it as a patient, a lot. Iโ€™m showin up with a bag of books, 4 diff Uno versions, playing cards, real coffee, and loud music. Fight the good fight, champions. ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Of course I had to send some books. The cause is good. The dude running it is gold. And anything with Phoenix basically wins me over.

The storms going through knocked out power at home AND work for a large chunk of the week. ๐Ÿ˜– Weโ€™re ok but lost everything in the fridge and freezer. GAH!

Have you checked out @gjterralwrites.bsky.social โ€˜s book kickstarter?! Gorgeous!! Iโ€™m back at work and loaned more books out this morning!
