Feared By The Bad, Loved By The Good?

Contrary to rumour, Sherwood is not a retelling of the story of Robin Hood with a lesbian Sherriff of Nottingham. But since that has been suggested, then it ought to be made. There may be some Robin Hoodery in one chapter of The Novel, but I cannot see how I would work that into what I would want to do with it.

Would that anyone were taking from the rich to give to the poor. While the penultimate chapter of The Novel is currently expected to be set in the political London of the late twenty-first century, what could I possibly make up, since it is only 2024 and already half a million pounds to the Labour Party will buy you a 10 Downing Street pass? Although not if you are a trade union. Of course. This Government has started like this. Yet it is still "going to get worse before it gets better".

    1. Nothing that featured so unrealistic a character would ever find a publisher.
