Award-winner, The White Sails Series,
where icy winter storms, opportunistic mercenaries, uncharted lands, and a
colourful crew of sailors are all lashed together by an epic love story.
This collector’s edition includes all
four books in the series.
The White Sails Series: Special Hardback Omnibus
If Bridgerton and Pirates of the Caribbean had a love child.
Are you a fan of sweeping romantic adventures?
Do you fall for tall, brooding Naval
Officers?
Love a feisty female lead who makes you
yell aloud?
Then hop aboard Emma Lombard’s hardback Collector’s Edition of The White Sails Series, and batten down the hatches!
But why?
Well, firstly, let me tell you what my
Kickstarter campaign isn’t.
It isn’t a plea for donations, it’s not a beg for money, and it’s not just
another retailer.
Okay, so what is it then?
Kickstarter is a wonderful way for me to
give more to my fans.
It allows fans access to a special
collector’s edition that is not (and will never be) available from
online retailers.
It allows fans to have each and every
copy personalised, which is just not doable for retailers.
It also allows fans a more intimate view
of the story behind my series.
And best of all, it allows fans to get
involved in my next series, whether through an exclusive sneak peek of the
first draft or even having a character named after them.
Oh, and did I mention there’s an
opportunity to win the original oil painting of the cover?
Where else in the world do you get all
this extra cool stuff thrown in just because you bought a book?
What’s in it for you, Emma?
Without wanting to sound too cheesy, I’m
beside myself to put such a pretty book out in the world. I mean, just look
at that dreamy sunset! I’m not going to lie; I love a chunky book.
This collector’s edition fulfills my
ultimate author dream—to be able to hold (and smell) a weighty tome. I’m not
the only one—I’ve had folks walk up to my books at the market and pick them up
just to smell them! My kind of peeps!
I know it’s taboo to talk about money,
but the pledges received for this campaign will help me recoup some of the
upfront expenses that I have already laid out, like editing, book cover design,
audiobook narration, and it will give me the momentum I need to invest in those
same services for my next series, The
Gold Hills Series.
You’ll be helping keep the indie
publishing ecosphere turning, which in turn lets me keep creating more stories.
So, what’s The White Sails Series about?
One of my readers described it best: If Bridgerton and Pirates of the Caribbean had a love child.
The idea for this series was born from a tiny nugget of family gossip that my grandmother shared with me. She told me how my 3x great grandmother left her well-to-do family in England to elope with an English sea captain, and live aboard his ship with him.
I took the basic concept of this story and had a blast creating an entirely fictitious imagining of what it might have been like for a woman to live aboard a ship in those days. Quite ironic considering that I get terribly sea-sick myself.

Emma Lombard
Emma Lombard was born in Pontefract in the UK. She grew up in Africa—calling Zimbabwe and South Africa home for a few years—before finally settling in Brisbane, Australia, and raising four boys. Before she started writing historical fiction, she was a freelance editor in the corporate world, which was definitely not half as exciting as writing rollicking romantic adventures. Her characters are fearless seafarers, even though Emma gets disastrously seasick in real life.
