"Here is the first part of my short(ish) story about the wonderful Sir Guy of Gisborne. I have written it because I always felt he was a bit shortchanged by the storylines, and the ladies, in the BBC Series, and I wanted to try to redress the balance. As someone once said, "it is a poor thing, but mine own". You will find magic, time spinning, love, loss, and a large dose of naughtiness, which I hope does not offend."

" Ihope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it."

"For fun, I have inserted some excerpts from some of Richard's other work, I hope you enjoy looking for them."

"I write solely in honour of Richard Armitage, who brought the character to life for me, and is now firmly planted in my heart and soul. There could be no better inspiration. All others are a pale imitation."

Just a few words to introduce this, the last of the "There and Back Again" trilogy. Firstly, if you have read the other two parts, I am honoured and thankful. Secondly if you intend to read this, the third, I hope you will love reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. At the very beginning there is almost a tragedy, prevented only by the skilled midwifery of Aunt Gwyneth. There is famine in the land, but help comes from an unexpected source and then through treachery, the Artefact and it's precious contents are stolen from the Lady of the Lake and it falls into the hands of a malicious person of Magic, seeking to use it for her own vile purposes. Because of this Guy and his twins are at risk of abduction, but the family find they have many willing to stand in their defence. Guy's courage never fails him and he is, as always, willing to give his life for those he loves. Then, on his birthday, events occur that finally convince him of how very much Auriel loves him. Expect love in abundance in this tale, both of the soul and of the body. (Well, I couldn't leave that out could I? It's always such a pleasure to describe Guy's 'Special gifts'.) Sadly, for a short while, his lust overcomes his morality, during a prolonged separation from his beautiful wife. There is also kidnap, poisoning, imprisonment, comedy and a terrible event that marks the Gisborne family forever. I write solely in honour of Richard Armitage, such a fine actor, who brought the Character of Sir Guy to life for me. There could be no finer inspiration. All others are a pale imitation.

This is the story of Aylaina MacLeod, aTime Traveler. When Aylaina makes her maiden voyage into time, she quickly realises she has gone BACK in ttime to the 12th century, and Sherwood Forest, the Robin Hood era. But the Robin Hood legend she discovers, is not like any other legend she has ever read about. Follow along as Aylaina becomes part of the Merry Men and the mischief she gets into as she tries to make her mark on history. I have incorporated the final two episodes of the BBC series that aired in 2009. "Something Worth Fighting For" My objective was to put right what once went wrong by sending a young woman from the fuqture to change history. If you are expecting a dark, Twighlight-like Guy, youwere'll be a bit disappointed. My 'Guy' is a tortured soul, yes, brooding , yes, but he has a side that comes out upon meeting the heroine. I believe you will recognise the character as Richard Armitage portrayed him and I believe I have captured the personalities of the other characters from the series. My heart-felt thanks and appreciation go out to my marvelous betas, Fanny Thornton and Tully2Shoes for all their hard work in trying to teach me the art of creative writing, grammar and punctuation! Much love to the two of you<3 Jeannie Disclaimer---Any reference or similarity to the BBC series is not my creation. All rights belong to BBC and Tiger Aspect.
