I’ll be back in Elmhurst for the second time on August 23, hoping to catch up with the author friends I made last year and connect with some new readers! I’ll have my trusty Rooted paperbacks, bookmarks, and maybe even a couple cute crafty things, if I can get my act together. Should I bring my prize wheel…? We’ll see.
If you’re in the area, please come chat with us! There will be tons of local authors of all genres, and they’ll be all over the library. You’re definitely bound to find something to read.
And if you’re not a fan of buying books at the place where you borrow books, most libraries will purchase books for you on request, so you can support your favorite indie author and your local library at the same time! Just log into your library’s website or ask the circulation desk how to do it.
Hope to see you there!

Explore the music of Rooted: a listening guide for readers
Curating a playlist for a work of fiction is a trend that I’ve noticed from as early as 2015. Some authors will provide a list of the songs they listened to while they wrote, while others will piece together a sort of aural mood board. I’m using it as more of a history lesson.
Welcome, writers and readers and history nerds!
Welcome! I’m Emma Golding, a musician by day and a vigilante fiction writer by night. If you found my blog, you must be a kindred spirit looking for some inspiration…
