RT BookReviews

Posted on by Carla Swafford, Author

RT BookReviews closed it operations on May 16, 2018. It was a sad moment for many including myself. I read the magazine from the time it was actually a newspaper (1980s). At least, my dream of having a review of my book(s) done by the magazine came true. Plus my name was mentioned a few times in the magazine.

Before the website goes dark next year, here are copies of the reviews and such. Side note: The highest star rating you could get at RT was 4-1/2 stars.

By the way, my first book came out 7 years and 17 days ago.

Here I am continuing the celebration of book reviewers, in particular, romance book reviewers.  And they don’t necessarily have to review and be part of my book tours as in this case. I just want readers to be aware of the different choices they have to check out new or old releases.

Here’s Book Reader Chronicles’s links.

See. I even like sites that do not review my books. One of my books did showed up there through a blog tour. It was just an announcement with an excerpt of Hidden Heat coming out at that time.

You Are Important For Real

Posted on by Carla Swafford, Author

So you never thought to do this, but I bet someone you know has thought about it or has tempted it or done it. So please copy and paste on your social media, everywhere.

Did you know that if you text 741741 when you are feeling depressed or suicidal, a crisis worker will text you back immediately and continue to text with you? Many people, especially younger folks, do not like talking on the phone and would be more comfortable texting. It’s a free service to ANYONE!

This text crisis line works in all states in the continental United States.

Or if you do want to talk with a human, call 800-273-8255.

So good to know for yourself, loved ones, coworkers, etc.!!! Asking for help is so brave and so worth it ❤️
