HMS Privet has the reputation of being a cursed ship: every first lieutenant serving aboard her dies gruesomely. Lieutenant Daniel Leigh is determined to solve the mystery and volunteers for the place himself, putting his life in desperate danger. Little does he suspect that he will fall in love with the captain, John Meadows, and end up fighting not only for his own life, but for the soul of his lover, too.
Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased) – a Georgian ghost story featuring a cursed ship, a vengeful ghost, a haunted captain and a very daring lieutenant.
Illustrations: Amandine de Villeneuve

I do sound like a market crier, don’t I…
As you know, I’ve set the price for my book as low as possible. Means: my main target is to cover my costs and maybe manage to get an extra tin of cat food or Woodpecker’s cider out of it (the cider is not for the cats, by the way).
There have been some currency fluctuations recently, and so I have to raise the price for “Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased)” by 30 pence. The new price will therefore be £ 5.10 (current price: £ 4.90). I will, however, not change the amount for “postage and packing”.
The price will be changed on the online shop by Tuesday evening, so if you have been thinking about buying my book and not done so yet, now would be the moment!

Review
Another day, another review. Reviewer Sandra gave my book four out of five possible hearts on
This means “very good” and makes me one happy Emma. The book is not available from the source they listed, but I trust in people’s willingness to use Google.
Yes, I’m a hopeless optimist, how did you guess?
Happy ordering and reading,
Emma
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
