First three chapters of the next book online / reviews / feedback
My next book to be published will be “The Purser, The Surgeon, The Captain And His Lieutenant”. I’ve finished the first draft and I’m working on the details now. While going through the first chapters, I thought: “Well. Maybe people would like to read the draft and tell me how they like it? Or how they don’t like it?”
So here’s what I’ve done: I’ve turned the draft of the first three chapters into a *.pdf file and put it online. You can download it from here:
THE PURSER, THE SURGEON, THE CAPTAIN AND HIS LIEUTENANT
The first three chapters
Let me know what you think about it. What’s working? What’s not? Which character do you like best? Any suggestions?
For those of you who don’t know me personally: keep the criticism coming. I won’t throw a hissy fit; if I wouldn’t want to hear your honest opinion, I wouldn’t ask.
Please note: this is a draft, it’s not typeset and things might change while I go through it. “Author at work”!
Here’s what the book is about:
“The Purser, The Surgeon, The Captain And His Lieutenant – a tricky and charming cross-time tale about the tangled lives of four very different men, from the Age of Sail to modern day London. Featuring bravery, treachery, star-crossed love, revenge, the power of magic and overrated movie directors.”

News: Emma Collingwood yahoo group/mailing list
Hello my dears!
As my first book has been published now (and just in case you wish to order a copy, EMMA COLLINGWOOD ONLINE is the place to go!) I have set up a special yahoo group/mailing list for my writing as “Emma Collingwood”. Please feel free to join; discussion is allowed and encouraged. Tell me what you like about my writing, tell me what you hate or just lurk and wait for updates. It’s all fine for me.
I do have my little black list with known trolls and stalkers here, though – joining is pointless for those belonging into one of these two categories. I’ll boot immediately.
See you “on the other side”.
Take care
Emma xx
