I made a ring today! It's made from silver and, of course, is inspired by Hartswood 🗡💚

Spending time on that aforementioned picrew by @potato-lord-but-not instead of doing the things I REALLY need to be doing??? NEVER.

One Night in Hartswood is a m/m medieval romance novel about snogging in the forest, running away from your duties (and your arranged marriage), having a terrible dad, huddling for warmth and bone-deep yearning.

It’s also about why making out with a mysterious guy in the woods on the night before your wedding might not be a very good idea, especially when you’re both lying about who you really are (and he’s the brother of the woman you’re supposed to be marrying.)

But mostly it's about Raff and Penn.

OUT NOW!

Probably a stupid question, but if One Night in Hartswood was made into a movie, which actors would play Raff and Penn?

ANON NO this is not a stupid question! This is a very important question that has been plaguing me since I started writing the damn thing 😅

(starting with the caveat here that no single actor is perfect for either of them, BUT...)

I always said that Josh Whitehouse had excellent Penn vibes:

Which, I maintain, holy hell, but also (as many of my long-suffering followers know) I've been on a bit of a Timothée Chalamet kick for Penn. But now I'm looking at that gif again going... but Josh....

(also shout-out to Season 2 Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones)

Raff is a lot harder, and currently sits somewhere between Kit Harrington, Aiden Turner (as Kili), Simon Neil (the lead singer of Biffy Clyro) and... basically any guy with long dark hair and a beard, frankly. He's like a puzzle!! He should be really easy to fancast but he's just not.

......apart from his body type, which is Zac Effron:
