Hi all, I'm a graduate of the Open Uni, obtaining my Bachelor of Arts (Open) in 2010. I completed my coursework while working full time so, when I finished my degree I had some spare time on my hands which I used to write my first book, a historical fiction novel.
Wolf's Head is a re-telling of the Robin Hood legend, written in a modern style, it's gritty, fast paced and violent, but with some tender moments as well. It's like no other Robin Hood tale you've ever read before, I'm sure of that. I've tried to stick quite close to the (original) early source material, and meticulously researched the time period (early 14th century in my novel, rather than the earlier time of King John other tales seem to favour).
I've sent it to some agents and hopefully it will be accepted for publication (if not, I'll look at Amazon's Kindle e-publishing).
In the meantime, I'm trying to build interest in it, and would be VERY grateful if my fellow students would check out the first chapter on my Facebook page and give the PAGE a "LIKE" if you enjoy it. I've promised to post chapter 2 if I get 50 likes and I'm at 49 so far... :)
