Reminiscing with Romancing Robin Hood

I admit it- I had an ulterior motive when I wrote my latest novel, Romancing Robin Hood – not only did it give me an excuse to reminisce about my university days- for the novel is set in an around my old stomping ground of Leicester University- but it also gave me an excuse to use the PhD research I did into the legends of Robin Hood while I was there!

This month you can treat yourself to the e-version of Romancing Robin Hood for only 77p or $1.21!!!

Romancing Robin Hood

Last weekend I was lucky enough to find myself in Leicester once again, for a university reunion with a few of my dearest friends. Not only did I enjoy a laugh- a far few glasses of wine- with my friends, I also took myself on a mini tour of the main landmarks within the novel!

This is the Attenborough tour, where as an archaeology and history student I worked very hard- and as a medieval Lecturer, Grace, in Romancing Robin Hood, sits and writing her novel, daydreaming about Robin Hood- and another Robert- when she should be writing a textbook…

Leic- libraryThis in Leicester University’s Library- where I both worked after my student days were over, and where grace spends many an hour reading and researching…

The Victorian new Walk- a beautiful walkway from Leicester University into the city centre…

The New Walk Museum, where I have spent many a happy hour just looking, and where Grace is sent on a blind date by her friend Aggie…

****

Thanks for allowing me a little indulgence into my past…I hope you enjoy my part modern, part historical novel. xx

Romancing Robin Hood – Blurb

Dr Grace Harper has loved the stories of Robin Hood ever since she first saw them on TV as a girl. Now, with her fortieth birthday just around the corner, she’s a successful academic in Medieval History, with a tenured position at a top university.

But Grace is in a bit of a rut. She’s supposed to be writing a textbook on a real-life medieval gang of high-class criminals – the Folvilles – but she keeps being drawn into the world of the novel she’s secretly writing – a novel which entwines the Folvilles with her long-time love of Robin Hood – and a feisty young girl named Mathilda, who is the key to a medieval mystery…

Meanwhile, Grace’s best friend Daisy – who’s as keen on animals as Grace is on the Merry Men – is unexpectedly getting married, and a reluctant Grace is press-ganged into being her bridesmaid. As Grace sees Daisy’s new-found happiness, she starts to re-evaluate her own life. Is her devotion to a man who may or may not have lived hundreds of years ago really a substitute for a real-life hero of her own? It doesn’t get any easier when she meets Dr Robert Franks – a rival academic who Grace is determined to dislike but finds herself being increasingly drawn to…

Today’s the day!!

Romancing Robin Hood, my second full length novel under the name Jenny Kane, hits the e-shelves today!! (Paperback coming soon)

Switching from the modern romance (or lack thereof), of Grace Harper, to the fourteenth century tale of Mathilda de Twyford (the fictional heroine Grace has created within her own novel), Romancing Robin Hood is a tale of friendship, romance, the medieval criminal nobility, and a teenage obsession with Robin Hood…
