My short story is finished! And some links…
A new community – mine!
WordPress is not very discussion-friendly – if anything, the format represents an oversized soapbox for people who like to hold monologues.
But that’s over now! Well, almost. I created my own community, and you are cordially invited to join, lurk on or ignore
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
What you can expect to read there are excerpts, short stories and drabbles, the odd review (it happens), art etc. There will also be some posts about my research on naval history and 18th century Britain in general, articles I’ve written and so on and so forth. What I expect in return is honesty. Look, I know some folks are touchy when it comes to their work, and I understand it, but if you think I’ve goofed it up and wrote nonsense, tell me. The cult of nice is not for me.
I write Age of Sail adventure with paranormal elements and gay romance. Don’t give me that look, my stories are good. Not my fault if there are prejudices towards certain genres. Give it a try, you might like it. It’s a bit like Marmite.
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
