It was always novels for me-the first time I seriously wrote short stories was at the end of my college career, to get into my graduate program, and it felt awkward and weird.īut I got into grad school, wrote like a fiend, and when I graduated I spent three miserable years as a freelance writer while working on several different novels. All through high school, I was writing in a notebook instead of taking class notes (explaining the less than perfect GPA). ACK you have no idea how bad those novels looked. I wrote all through middle school and starting submitting novels (I hope I still have those very kind, gentle rejection letters somewhere) when I was thirteen. In third grade, I got detention for ripping the bark off a tree.įrom there, it was a long road. Which was also the first and last time for that. Not kidding-some of my earliest memories revolve around books and writing, like reading in front of the class, reading with my mother, and writing a story in first grade that was so funny (it dealt with a gorilla finding someone naked in the shower, and was, sadly, the culmination of my humor writing skills) it got me kicked out of class. I’ve been madly in love with writing since I was in kindergarten.
It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin―whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her―that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance. *This blog post contains affiliate links.
