Author has written 24 stories for Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, and Harry Potter.

But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Lord Byron

About...
Me: American student of English language and literature with delusions of grandeur, abiding sympathy for evil Elves, an improportional love for Caranthir, a weakness for semicolons and run-together words, and a taste for Gondorians.
My life: I am still (sometimes) here and still plodding slowly toward my goal of absolute world domination. Or writing better stuff. Either way.
My work: Mostly short stories, drabbles, poems; Silmarillion-based; Noldo-centric. Recently I've been expanding my fandom horizons, so perhaps expect some other stuff coming out of nowhere.
Most recent work: "Hope", an Estel-poem and a bit of Beregond prose to go with it, published 21 July 2008.

Questions? Comments? Complaints? PM me. Thanks!

If you want to read just one story of mine, I recommend "Be or Become", my collection of LoTR and Silm-based drabbles. There's something there to suit almost every taste.
