Excellent question Louise!

Ah yes i missed that sorry. I'm really pleased to see that your research has covered all tracks LOL!

aha!
Apparently there have been some recent discoveries of the name robin hood dating to the 1270's which is very interesting though. What do you make of that?

Does your Robin come from Wakefield? Apparently there was evidence of a man who came from Wakefield with that name who was outlawed but went on to become one of Edward II's chamberlains.

I have often wondered if Robin hood was modeled on earlier outlaws like Hereward. Do you have any thoughts on this Steven~?

There have been a lot of misnomers written about Edward II in historical fiction as well as nonfiction. I wondered what your take on him is?

I really liked the cover. As soon as I saw it I thought that looks great! that will sell! So what made you set your story of Robin hood in the 14thc? instead of the usual 12th/13th?

Hi Steve congratulations on publishing your first novel.I love the cover. Who designed it for you?
