"This is the face that is loved by two opposing men – both foes - both of whom are loved in return. This is the face that is shared; impersonal to but mine self – this is her face, too. Your face; your body – the only things that you can truly call yours and yours only – and mine are shared with another. It is unfair and unjust, how so many others may observe their reflection and think: “This is me”, and I shall forever be forbidden to proclaim so – truly, at least."

                       So, you think you know the story of Robin Hood and his beloved maid? Think again, because there's always two sides to a story.

** Marian, a thieving nobleman's daughter with too big a heart, meets Robin Hood, a daring thief with a huge ego. Will they be able to overcome pain, longing, and, finally the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham? Or will the legend end before it begins? ** "Hope, be it never so faint, bringeth a gleam into darkness, like a little rushlight that costeth but a groat." ― Howard Pyle, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood - In the heart of Nottinghamshire, the noblewoman Maid Marian has a secret double life as a thief by night. She steals from the chests of embezzlers and distributes her loot to the poor. When she crosses paths with the self-proclaimed King of Thieves, past and present collide, soon forcing her to choose between loyalty to the crown and the law - or rebellion. But it's not only the dangerous raids that swirl her life: soon she is torn between her feelings for the charming Robin Hood and the honourable Guy of Gisborne. Will Marian be able to bring justice to the kingdom? Will she lose her heart to the King of Thieves or will the righteous Guy of Gisborne be able to preserve her honour? In a story of love, courage and resistance, Marian's fate interweaves with the legends of Sherwood Forest. **** Part 1 of the Sherwood-Dilogie **** Wattys2023 GERMAN WINNNER + Special Price for Most Engaging World Cover/Banner by Thinkerling *** 🥇1st Place Literary Book Award - Adventure 🥇1st Place Lavender Awards - Historical Fiction 🥇 1st Place Ambrosia Awards - Best Cover 🥇 1st Place Ambrosia Awards - Historical Fiction 🥇 1st Place Phoenix Award - Best Cover 🥈 2nd Place - Tricolor Triennial Awards - Historical Fiction 🥈 2nd Place - The Wonder Awards - Fanfiction 🥈 2nd Place - The Nebula Awards - Historical Fiction 🥈 2nd Place - The Aster Awards - General Fiction ****

Plymouth Manor

18 parts Complete

If walls could talk, Plymouth Manor would have many secrets and scandal to share with its listeners. The Eaton Family lives at the Manor and has a full staff of servants to care for their needs. Lord Eaton just recently went bankrupt with a business deal that had gone terribly wrong, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth, wants to keep up with appearances and marry her daughters off to wealthy and well known bachelors. Their eldest daughter, Lady Rose, has been secretly in love with someone her family would not approve of. Needing to keep their image immaculate, Lord Eaton and Lady Elizabeth will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder, even if it meant hurting those most important. Plymouth Manor follows the lives of the Eaton family and their servants to show that money cannot always buy happiness and that love can truly conquer all.
