I'm very tempted…

… to spend my holidays here:

COLLINGWOOD HOUSE

I'd take my first mate (unless the first mate should cry mutiny, which is likely), Mlle de Villeneuve and Miss Eveiya with me (and my laptop, of course). Where else but there could I finish “Jackdaw”?

Very tempted. Very.

Release date, price and assorted musings

I can finally give you what you all wanted to know:

THE PRICE OF YE OLDE BOOKE!

“Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased)”
A Georgian Ghost Story

by Emma Collingwood
Illustrated by Amandine de Villeneuve
The Penny, Dreadful & Tarbottom Series
80 pages, four illustrations

ISBN 978-3-837-00964-4
(you can't place orders yet, though – but soon!)


EUR 6.00
GBP 4.00
USD 8.50


plus p + p. Prices might change due to changing currency rates.

And to prevent possible “but that's so expensive! I get 800 pages for three quid down at the newsagent's! Pirates!” complaints: there's a difference between printing 100'000 books and the 127 we hope to sell. Thanks for your understanding (and your money).

The book will be available first through my website, but eventually also through Amazon. Main method of payment will be paypal, but if you'd rather not use that service, drop me a line, I'm certain we can work something out.

The second book of the “Penny, Dreadful & Tarbottom” series will be called “Jackdaw”. I'm halfway through the first draft and very much in love with the main character. Scheduled for release in March 2008.

“The Purser, The Surgeon, The Captain And His Lieutenant” is currently undergoing a thorough editing process and will hopefully be available in the beginning of 2008.

If you should have any questions, please post them here or send a mail to emma at emmacollingwood.com.

That's all so far, have a lovely day!
