About the Tour
In anticipation of the release of “Protecting the Poor” (book three in the Tales of Faith series), Amanda is guest posting or being featured on over a dozen blogs each month.

About the Book
Sheriff Feroci is now lord over the province, and Abtshire has become a pit of injustice. Being forced into the lord’s service does not give Dumphey as many opportunities to help the poor as he desires. When attempts on his life drive him into the forest, this freedom opens a world of possibilities for helping others. But how can he do so when he is running for his life? And does God want him to do more than simply feed the poor?
Noel has always hidden behind the shadow of his older brother, Dumphey. When life forces him to stand on his own, will he still follow God in the corrupt world in which he lives? Would God really call him to do something that is beyond his power to do? As Lord Feroci's sinister plot comes to light, each lad has a choice to make. A choice that could cost them their lives.

Check out the daily countdown to Protecting the Poor HERE.
For the release of "Protecting the Poor," I decided to do a crazy thirty-day countdown! Today, release is only four days away!!!!! In my countdown posts, I've shared a lot about Robin Hood: the man, the myth, and the mystery. ;) Here are some of my favorite Robin Hood info blips lately...
Robin Hood first appeared in historical recordings as early as mid-1300s. Many refer to “Robin Hood and the Monk” (an originally untitled piece) as one of the first ballads of Robin Hood. It is 92 stanzas long, so I’ll just share the first two (read the full ballad here - https://d.lib.rochester.edu/teams/text/robin-hood-and-the-monk)...
In somer, when the shawes be sheyne,
And leves be large and long, Hit is full mery in feyre foreste To here the foulys song, To se the dere draw to the dale, And leve the hilles hee, And shadow hem in the leves grene, Under the grene wode tre.
Throughout the ages, Robin Hood has been known as Robin des Bois, Robehood, Rabunhod, Robyn Hode, Hobbehod, Robert Hod and many other variations of “Robert” and “Hood.” Though historians cannot prove his existence, there is a traditional grave for him in Yorkshire. Some insist that Robin Hood never existed but was, more or less, imagined for bedtime stories for the wee ones.
What do you think? Did a Robin Hood likely exist? If so, do you think he was more culprit or hero? If your Robin Hood addiction (ahem… fascination) wants to learn more about the tales, ballads, and historical elements, here are some great websites to check out: https://robinhoodlegend.com/early-ballads/ https://www.history.com/topics/british-history/robin-hood http://www.mythencyclopedia.com/Pr-Sa/Robin-Hood.html Giveaway
