Legendary medieval outlaws include Eustace and Monk, Hereward the Wake, and Gamelyn, to name just a few. Gamelyn, unlike the other two, is almost certainly a fictional character through and through. After his father dies, Gamelyn and his inheritance are pinned under the thumb of his eldest brother. When Gamelyn rebels, he must flee to the woods, while his brother becomes the sheriff. For the full story on Gamelyn, and how his legend relates to Robin Hood's, you can check out the blog article at the link below.

Humourous Historical Fiction - Knights of the Roundish Table

I wanted to share why I wrote Knights of the Roundish Table as humour fiction rather than straight historical fiction, like my previous novel. It may seem a bit backwards, since King Arthur has historically been classified as medieval romance (aka historical adventure) while Robin Hood was originally social satire (aka semi-bitter comedy), but bear with me:

Petra X
Petra X is 66% done with The Criminal Mind: The author came from a poor home where he was badly physically abused by his alcoholic father, as was his disabled. He went to a school where no one had ever gone to university from and became a noted forensic psychologist for teenager criminals in which he remarks that so many of them came from the same deprived background as he did. What makes one become a criminal and the other a professional?"
