For this guest blog post we thought it
might be interesting to take a look at some of the things we take for granted
in the 21st century and think about how our medieval heroes might
see them.
Obviously my The Forest Lord series focuses
mainly on Robin Hood but the final novella The Abbey of Death is all
about Will Scaflock (Scarlet), so let’s start with him.
1 – Internet searches– Will Scarlet – LOVE
This might surprise readers of my novels.
Will is notoriously tetchy and rather set in his ways so why do I think he’d
appreciate a massive invention like the rise of the internet? Well, as you’ll
find out in the new novella, Will is trying his best to adapt to the changes in
his own life and he’s even taken up gardening. Anyone that’s ever tried growing
an unfamiliar tree or plant knows the internet is a huge help with things like
that so Scarlet would, I’m sure, love the ability to find out about ericaceous
compost and the like!
