Craton?”
The first version of this story (which I'll probably mention many many times in these notes) was a play I wrote and directed in 2012 called "THE LEGEND OF ROBIN HOOD." When I started transforming that theatrical script to a novel, I knew I needed to dig far deeper into my research. A friend of mine from the theater named Cole Craton got me in touch with a couple of history professors at the nearby state college, and in thanks I told him I'd name a character after him. This was *years* before I told anyone I was writing a book so he assumed it was a character in a play. I was working on this chapter the next day, so there's Craton.
Incidentally, the description of him on the next line is probably pretty accurate.
