That's a real shame. Maybe they can amend it for the second print run.

ha ha, I'll bet.

Anyway, I printed off and read the preview chapter today, very nice beginning and set up, obviously before Robin Hood became the famous outlaw of lore. It's an interesting place to set your story, lots of potential.

I enjoy the young wolfshead as you have presented him. Cocky, roguish, yet with a hint of chivalry and nobility. He'd be a great character to play in a DnD game come to think of it.

And Matilda of course has all the gusto of many of the women we see you write here (hints of Lisa, Dancer, Kerry) yet a charm and resilience all her own - I'm looking forward to reading more on both her and Robin.

Speaking of which, the publisher doesn't seem to ship to Aus. Guess I'll wait for Amazon. I will be bringing it to the UK next time I go there though and tracking you down to sign it for me. I’ll add it to my Adam Diller signed artwork.:)

I was interested in the choice of the name you used for the noble family. Fitzwarren. Any reason or history behind it?

The footnotes were an interesting and unexpected find in a pulp novel too, though what I’d love to read is the last chapter “On history” so looking forward to doing just that eventually.

Anyway, great show Ian, you have me piqued and wanting to read more. Well done.
