I miss Sareeta a lot. Reading her books reminds me so much of what made her special. Today is paperback publication day for her last novel, Possibility. It’s a wonderful book, do buy yourself a copy if you can. And please, share this so as many people as possible can discover it, too. 😍🙏🏾📚

Babes, Mon 14 Sept is National Quiet Day, so join me for a Quiet Moment reading at 7pm www.dorothykoomson.co.uk/have-a-quiet... for details. The world is often so noisy & this is our chance to take a quiet moment to read together online. Ideally you’d read The Quiet Girls* but if not, no worries…

Authors & other self-employed folk the Govt has a consultation out that could see us filing a tax return & paying on forecasted income EVERY MONTH. Unworkable for most of us. Send your thoughts by the 4th Aug. Also write to your MP & the Business Secretary. www.gov.uk/government/c...

You know what, whatever. It’s not like anything’s going to change. Our right to protest won’t be restored, millions of children won’t be lifted out of poverty, we’ll still be digitally tracked and controlled, our cost of living will still be punishing & getting worse by the day…so, yeah, whatever.😒

‘Preferred option’ is doing heavy lifting here. This Govt is good at saying one thing to get people to pipe down and then doing another. Like digital ID - it’s still happening. When a group of us spoke to the last tech minister, he was determined to gut our copyright laws cos of the deals he’d made.

Seeing as everyone is talking about Manosphere, just a reminder that Every Smile You Fake is all about social media influencers and what happens when a family member becomes embroiled in that world. The research I did was as eye-opening as it was terrifying. www.dorothykoomson.co.uk/book/every-s...
