NEWS:

-8/17/12 Just a quick update to let people know that while I am not actively (as in pulling them out daily or weekly) working on any story, I do have several stories partially finished that I hope to finish at some point. One is in my 'Safekeeping' series and one is in my 'Dawning Hope' series and then there are some short stories. I may actually start something completely different though just to get me writing again, but I won't post anything until it is complete as I don't want to leave anyone hanging in the middle of a story.

I hope you're all having a great summer!

About Me:

I am a fifty (!!) year old elementary school librarian living in Washington State.

My favorite LOTR character has always been Aragorn. Although, Glorfindel, Halbarad Éomer, Faramir, and Boromir are also very high on my list... and I can't leave out Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, Elrond, and Gil-Galad... I guess I like them all. But Aragorn truly is my favorite.
