Review Swaps - Authors Supporting Authors
Hi everyone, I am a new author and would love to connect with other authors. My book is titled “Faith Wide Open: An Autobiography” by Beth Morgan Carlton. It recounts my life and faith journey accompanied by appropriate scripture. There are stories of God’s presence, family, travel, adventure, overcoming tragedy, and famous people I have met along the way. If you would like to connect, I would love to hear from you. You can also reach me at carltonbethusa@gmail.com
Hi,I'm looking for reviews of for my second novel in my vampire series. It's a mix of romance, suspense, action, adventure and thriller. I'd love to do a review swap. Here's the details.
Description:
Darkness rises in the form of an ancient threat. One that seeks to remake the world in chaos and blood. A world where vampires rule with ruthless brutality.
Lance must find a way to embrace the darkness that consumes him before it destroys all that he holds dear even as he attempts to conquer the legendary title of Vampire Guardian. This challenge could mean his death in more ways than one. But time is running out...for everyone.
Separated from Lance, Jade finds new strength in an unlikely protector as she unlocks a lost secret about her past. A past that holds more questions than answers. Answers she needs to face her true nature.
The second book of The Blood Legacy Saga finds Jade and Lance not only fighting for their claim to love each other but for their very existence. Join them as they plunge deep into the darkness of the vampire kingdom where deadly villains emerge, new alliances are formed and they discover family secrets that will shatter the fabric of everyone's existence.
If you're interested let me know. I can provide ARC in pdf.
Thanks,
Marva
Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a while I need more reviews on one of my books an anthology of short stories, 'The Diplomat and Desperado Stories' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PHH58R3 Here's part of the description: "The Diplomat and Desperado…who are they and what do they represent? They live in a world that you are about to enter. You’ll find that The Diplomat has mental and physical issues that change and morph into and out of each other as each story progresses and reveals more. Is he having a mental breakdown, or does it have to do with an inordinate amount of time that he has spent away from his home in Noirtown? His interest in toys and antiques takes him to Lilithstown, Pa. We learn some things about him..." The genres are listed as Science Fiction Steampunk and Cyberpunk. I read all kinds of fiction and would swap on many of the books that I've seen posted here. I'm a long time member of the group and happy to be back! I've lowered the Kindle price from $7.99 to $2.99 just for the time being!

Hi Andy,
I didn't see your response until today. Are you still interested in a swap?
Thanks,
Susanne
Andy, I want to say something to you. I am a BookSirens reviewer and an author myself. I NEVER take on a review of a book that I hate. If I can't say positive things about a book, that's not the book for me to review. I give 4 and 5 stars. Why? Because I write also and KNOW how hard it can be. You pour yourself into a project and then someone comes along and destroys you in a couple of lines. That is not fair. Be CAREFUL who reviews your book. I've read about this on Reddit, they were specifically talking about Goodreads reviewers so my attention perked up. It was advised that if a reviewer tells you "I may not give you a good review" without having even seen your copy, that's a hatchet job, don't go for it. Go with someone who promises to be FAIR. That's what I try to do. I respect the author and try to be fair to their work. Not everybody does that, and you can wind up with some reviews that are killers of your sales. That is not a reflection on Goodreads, it is just that I think that some people are very demanding as reviewers and might not take into consideration the hard work of the author. I wish you the best!
Clotilde wrote: "Andy, I want to say something to you. I am a BookSirens reviewer and an author myself. I NEVER take on a review of a book that I hate. If I can't say positive things about a book, that's not the bo..."I agree. I always find something positive to say about a book. I would never trash a book, though it has been done to me. Goodreads reviews were the primary source of poor reviews for my first book. But when you need reviews, you take the good with the bad. As my writing improved, authors find fewer things they can tear apart. My new book, which has been edited to death, attracted two authors from my author group. They had to find something negative to say, so one said I should have included the smell of Maine's water in the spring, even though my book takes place during a snowstorm. And the other one didn't find depth in my characters. In conclusion, we take a risk by asking for reviews on Goodreads, but sometimes we have no choice.

I'm trying to be as fair as possible. don't understand why anyone would go out of their way to do the opposite when constructive comments can encourage excellence.

Hi everyone...I've justreviewed Bruce Perrin's 'Mind of a Witch', an AWESOME book, and I'm asking for a review swap on my latest book 'Anemone a Creature/Starship and the Pilots of the Birkeland Currents' A Jules Verne-like Epic Space voyage! Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N9DTRCQ Here's the description: ***A space epic. A glorious adventure into the unknown. A fantastic Jules Verne - like voyage in an unforgettable spaceship.. The crew and their Passengers, the thrilling plot, the transformations and new knowledge gained will delight and enlighten the reader. The mysterious passenger, Aletheia, the Oracle of Phobos City on Mars is confined to a wheelchair, but insists that she is not disabled but highly Enabled! She represents 'prescience' or the ability to foresee the future. She also presents a new philosophical view, embodied in the Greek concept of 'Aletheia'. In contrast, 'Anathema the MA-eeetron' is a villain supreme capable of unspeakable heinous evil! Lance, the Pilot, Jenna, the Co-pilot and the Computer round off the list of significant characters. But it is the Creature/Spaceship Anemone that comes through as the Main Character in this thoughtful and thought-provoking epic voyage. *** If interested you can email me at parisbks@yahoo.com All reviews are under my given name Howard Lipman (pen name PanOrpheus). You can also reply here of course, but email is best. Happy Holidays tro all Be Well!

Hi! Thanks for this space!!! Sounds amazing!!My book Ill Shadows is Free on KU and in need of reviews.
It's a YA sci-fi gothic thriller set in 2059 in a green island trying to keep humanity alive in a world overpowered by technology.
Here is the preview link & description:
https://a.co/iMlU9PT
Foxtail Valley is a confined territory where all technology is prohibited. It is home to the forbidden Black Sands beach. Rumor has it, no one ever comes out alive. No one ... but them.

Natalie is the mayor's daughter.
Bri just wanted to join the fun.
Now, they are locked up in dorm arrest after breaking into the forbidden beach, winning the title of the ILL SHADOWS, the only survivors of Black Sands Shore.
A reputation like that sure comes with its advantages, but when they see the girl that died that night alive and breathing, the circumstances turn for the worst.
Jasamine is able to communicate with the dead. She watches from the sidelines. She wasn't involved, but because of her powerful gift, she knows more about the truth than anyone else.

I would like to try this swap and see how it goes!I wrote a personal memoir confronting life with my mental illnesses. It is a series of letters written to my doctor back in the 1980's when I was first diagnosed. When I gave them to her, I never expected to see her again (she was moving to another state to practice). To my utter surprise she called me from a payphone in the Denver airport to tell me that I needed to publish them!
Well now, I didn't think they were anything special. And they were so very personal, I didn't feel ready to share. So, i put the thought away and went on with my life. 30 years later a pandemic hit. While isolated I pulled that thought back out, dusted it off, and got to work! My prayer for this book is that it helps lift the veil of mystery surrounding mental health crises. Whether you are struggling with mental illness and feeling alone or you love someone who does and just don't understand how they feel this book will help.

Hello,I am seeking readers to help grow our social proof on Amazon and Goodreads. We would like to share our non fiction books (cookbooks, tech guides, herbalism & foraging) in eBook format (EPUB or PDF) for free in exchange for feedback.

Thank you so much for your time and support!
Hello,I recently published my first book on Amazon—both in Ebook and paperback editions. It’s free for those who have Kindle Unlimited. I would be thrilled if you could take a moment to check it out. I worked on it for a long time, and my friends and I put a lot of effort into it. Now, I’m trying to figure out how to promote it, as I don’t have a large budget. Thank you in advance for your attention!

What would you do...?
...when it turns out that what you wanted and aspired to is not what you imagined?
...when you can't discern the right path in a maze of options?
... when all the choices you made in the belief that they were right and necessary, even in an attempt to help, were wrong and actually hurt someone?
...when uncovering the truth and reconciling with your conscience means hurting someone?
A novel blending elements from various genres, interwoven with social and philosophical themes that explore the enigmatic nature of humanity. The characters, driven by circumstances and personal ambitions, reach the limits of their mental resilience and belief in the healing of their emotional wounds. The fates of these unyielding, complex personas are entwined in a dynamic and multilayered plot. Drawn by their desires towards a stormy confrontation with a domino effect, each faces difficult, life-affirming choices and undergoes their own personal catharsis....
I’m starting to wonder how self-published authors manage to promote their books when they can’t compete with the budgets, knowledge, experience, and contacts of traditional publishers. Do we have a chance to reach readers?
