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.

New Historical Humour Book in the Works

It's been a busy summer, editing my new upcoming book Knights of the Roundish Table.

Where The Scarlet Forest: A Tale of Robin Hood is a historical novel, and Questionable Quizzes is humour, Knights of the Roundish Table will blend both genres.

Knights of the Roundish Table takes inspiration from Arthurian literature throughout the medieval period, and makes history hilarious. The Green Knight, t Read more of this blog post »

When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by George Carlin
“Political correctness is America's newest form of intolerance, and it is especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people's language with strict codes and rigid rules. I'm not sure that's the way to fight discrimination.
