The Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA) announces: emergency protest in Chicago *Sunday, Jan. 25, 1:00 pm* downtown at Ida B. Wells Dr. and Michigan Ave. @chicago-cata.bsky.social @caarprnow.bsky.social

A flyer showing a large crowd marching in downtown Chicago. At the top, bold text reads “!!! EMERGENCY PROTEST !!!” and “CHICAGO SAYS: ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!” with smaller lines “STOP THE KILLINGS!” and “Justice for all murdered by ICE and CBP.” Below, hundreds of demonstrators fill the street holding signs like “Fuera ICE,” “Stop the deportations,” and “Stop the killings,” with Mexican flags visible. A large banner in front reads “¡Cuando luchamos ganamos!” alongside a butterfly symbol and the phrase “When we fight we win.” At the bottom, event details say “Sun 1.25 at 1PM | Ida B. Wells & Michigan Ave.”

REPOST: "CHICAGO: EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO DHS EXECUTION

WHEN: Sun, Jan 25 @ 1PM

ICE just murdered another person in the streets of Minneapolis! As ICE and Border Patrol terrorize the people of MN, they have again murdered a community member in broad daylight."

My August writing/lifestyle challenge officially starts tomorrow, where I’ll tell my perfectionism to F off, but I snuck in a few test days to work out the kinks. Because I’m still a perfectionist. Read the post on my Substack ⬇️

Starting part 4 of 5 of the ROOTED readalong today! Is this where the slow-burn finally starts paying off?? 👀 Free bonus chapter when you mark the book “read” on The Storygraph!

#booksky #historicalromance #historicalfiction

Thanks for the offer! It’s fantasy, but it’s very much in the alpha stage. I may be looking for beta readers in a few months!

🤭 The absolute glee of sending the big plot twist chapter to your critique partner.

🫣 The absolute agony of waiting for them to read it.

It’s in the top 20 on Amazon for both Tudor and Renaissance Historical Romance, and people say they like it for how the MC Maggie gets a really satisfying character arc. Plus the pirate captain is a super hot consent king. 🥵 The ebook is available almost anywhere (including DRM-free on my website).

A reviewer on Reddit described it as “a slow burn, single POV, pirate, romance that centres on the FMC Maggie overcoming the disgusting men in her life, finding herself, her independence and someone who truly treasures her.” Which is way better than any blurb I’ve written. 🤣

Need a new book club read? If you’re a historical fiction girly, look up Rooted by Emma Golding! (That’s me 😊) We’re reading it together on The Storygraph for its 1st birthday, and I’m giving away a free bonus chapter when you finish! Join us!

Also kissing. Eventually.

Where does everyone read books? Amazon gets the most publicity, so sound off if you're on another platform!

I love reading and have no money, so I use Libby almost exclusively. #librarykid

Going wide is a pretty risky (i.e. stupid) business move, but 🤷‍♀️ I just want everyone to have access to my book. Sorry to KU readers who didn't get to it in the year it was part of their subscription, but it's still cheap and now I can run promotions whenever I want!

Exciting news! My 1600s pirate romance ROOTED is now available wherever you buy ebooks! Kobo and Kobo Plus, B&N, Apple, Google, Smashwords, you name it.

And you can request it from your library!

AND you can buy a DRM-free ebook from my website straight to your device to own forever!

The thing about spring is that my garden becomes way more interesting than my writing project. Long story short, I have nurtured way more plants than plots over the past few weeks, but it's time to get back to my WIP!

I’m the same! It’s satisfying to read back what I’ve written so far, especially when I’m feeling stuck, and my enjoyment tanks if it’s all bracketed notes about insert-change-here. I write for me, not for efficiency.

10 points! 🎉
