Newsletter: Author Carla Swafford – Movies & Books

Posted on by Carla Swafford, Author

The other night I was looking for a good romance movie. But it was frustrating how many were rom-coms (too many) or teenage angst. Nothing against those two, I’ve enjoyed plenty of them. Beautiful Disaster for example (college students). Hey, I even own a copy of the movie.

Except for Passionflix, a streaming service for romance movies produced by the owner, Tosca Musk, (Yes. Elon’s sister) there are few and far between serious romance movies with adults out there. And no, I’m not including Fifty Shades of Grey. She was in college.

With the recent popular age-gap romance movie, The Idea of You, and millions of people buying romance books, it’s time for more adult-age, serious romance movies to be made. Goodness there are more sub-genres that can be pulled from beside rom-com. For example suspense, historical, sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, etc.

I’m not talking about a series (a la Bridgeton), but movies. Series drag out a romance and not necessarily in a good way. Too many times I’ve been disappointed by series. They have to keep pulling you in. While in a movie, it’s one and done. Ha!

What recent romance movie have you watched that you enjoyed? I need recommendations!

Book Signing & Free Book

For those who are interested in coming to my next book signing, I will be at the Decatur Public Library in Decatur, AL, for their Readers and Writers Jubilee. If you do attend, come and tell me you’re a subscriber to my newsletter and you’ll receive one of my books free (my choice). Yep. A FREE BOOK. It will be my thank you for coming by and saying hello.

Just a heads up, I’ll be at the Sumiton BookFest (Alabama) again this year. October 12, 2024. More information to come.

Quote from Jake

Yeah, baby. We’re two peas in a pod, heh? We love control. I love controlling you and you love how I do it.”

Keep reading. Be sure to write reviews for the books you enjoyed. Authors love hearing how much you love them.

Hugs.
