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.

It’s usually about a strong urge to explore a certain world, and it usually involves two or three of those urgent curiosities combining one day in a way that makes me think, “I can write a whole book about that idea.”(less)

A.E.’s Recent Updates

A.E. Chandler and 55 other people liked Marquise's status update
Marquise
Marquise added a status update: #123: Those of you who are short, succinct & pithy and write good mini-reviews, how do you do it?

Asking for a marquise. :P

In theory, I know how to be short & to the point when reviewing, but:
a.. I'm chatty,
b. Wordy,
c. Fastidious about details & explanations,
d. Once I get going, I write & write till I lose track of time.

But not everything needs a 7-page long review & I've less time and energy now. Thoughts?
