Writing Eleanor... "I championed three of my sons in a rebellion against my husband. Shame on me.” King Henry had made her pay for that, locking her up in Old Sarum for fifteen years while forgiving their sons. With another laugh Eleanor added, “I would do it again.” #historicalfiction

Rogues and Kings is not a retelling of the Robin Hood legend so much as a deliberate dismantling of it. Charlene Newcomb resists folkloric shorthand and romantic embellishment, instead grounding her narrative in political consequence, familial loyalty, and the lived costs of resistance. #histfic 💙📚
"I truly love the way [the author] brings powerful, character-driven stories to life within the framework of history. In Rogues and Kings, the past never feels like a lecture or a timeline to memorize—it feels lived in." #bookreviews #historicalfiction 💙📚 books2read.com/RoguesKings
Lincoln Castle - nothing like combining #research for #historicalfiction with travel. Main characters in ROGUES & KINGS spent some time here with evil King John. #writing #booksky 💙📚
