I remember getting her invite to join the Unusual Historicals blog, lo, these many moons ago. She's an awesome and very cool person (ask her about gunfights of the Old West some time), and I'm so eager to read about hott Will Scarlet. (And here's yet another vote for Ray Winstone.)

I can't say I share the Christian Slater fascination (although he was a hottie in HEATHERS), but I love the idea of basing a story around Will Scarlett. And Stacy, thanks for the tip re: the version where Ray Winstone (I LOVE that man!) plays him in the Brit version! Carrie, congrats on your sale!

I've been intrigued by Will Scarlett since Ray Winstone portrayed him in the British version of "Robin Hood", and I liked Christian Slater in the role. Congrats on your release.

Congrats on everything. I can't wait to read all about Will. I must have watched Prince of Thieves too many times to count. Of course, I wanted Alan Rickman, the baddie. I have a thing for those evil, bad boys in literature. Carrie, you had the best post-its this year at RWA this year ;).

Yeah. It would be. Sorry. Needless to say, I adore Carrie and I've loved watching her journey and I can't wait for next Tuesday so everyone else can get their hands on one of the sexiest, most fun, and entertaining takes on Sherwood since "Unlike <I>some</I> Robin Hoods, I have a real English accent." And my favorite part? An unapologetically cranky and prickly heroine. Would it be inelegant of me to taunt “I’ve already read it, I’ve already read it!”

(ie obsessed) and this is what made me want to read your book so much. Having finished it this week, I can say it is one of my favorite adventure-romance to date. Your Will is an awesome hero. Congratulations! May you get plenty more published.
