Who is your favorite Hood (Costner? Flynn? Elwes? That Disney fox that doesn't wear pants?) and why do you think the story draws us?Ĭontroversial. Man or myth, the Robin Hood legend is one that always seems to have fans. Which was kind of a blow to how I perceived the story, but also really gave me the license I needed to cut to the heart of what Robin Hood is all about-retelling a story into virtually every generation that inspires hope for a future, working through virtually insurmountable problems to find your own happiness.ģ. I TRIED to do historical research-I mean, I did a fair amount on the middle ages, daily life, the layout of England at the time, but in attempting to do research on the man himself, I found that there's really no historical evidence that Robin Hood existed at all. They must be so proud of you! (And for the record, I'm a staunch proponent of taking time off to celebrate.) Can you tell us a little about the research that went into Scarlet ? Did you revisit the Robin Hood mythos or did you focus on historical research? Were you surprised by anything you discovered? But then comes the launch party, which is super exciting because it's being hosted by the bookstore I worked at as a teen (and essentially grew up between the bookshelves!).
Well, tonight I'm celebrating with family and friends in a little private party, which I'm really looking forward to-I'm terrible at taking time off and actually, you know, celebrating. What have the last few weeks been like and how do you plan to celebrate the launch? You're just a few days away from seeing Scarlet on shelves. 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.ġ. 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.
