Emma Golding writes romantic historical fiction and fantasy as a healthy outlet for her obsession with sexy banter and swoony grand gestures. After receiving her B.A. in English Literature, she promptly switched gears and pursued a graduate degree in music. She kept writing, though, prioritizing noveling whenever she could. Emma loves history, Irish folk tunes, Jane Austen film adaptations, and her piano students. She lives in Chicagoland with her pets and her spouse in her very own Happily Ever After.

But you are whole, she argued with herself. Just not the same shape.

This was like no book I’ve read before. Two characters who are certain they’re nothing more than the sum of their scars, finding strength and healing in each other—it was revelator

Hi Janine! There will be a paperback version of Rooted available shortly after the Kindle edition launches in a couple weeks. As for spotting it on the shelf at the local bookstore, that would be a dream come true! I believe booksellers will be able to order it for you. I will definitely let you know when I learn how!
