French Ponyhide bio
Author has written 23 stories for Lord of the Rings, and Silmarillion. I was born the day that Viking II landed on Mars, which makes me officially Old Enough To Know Better. Whether or not I Know Better, well, that's up to you.I am not French (nor, for that matter, am I a pony). The name comes from a description of one of my first literary heroines, Laura Ingalls Wilder. "As strong as a little French horse," she was, according to her father. My literary tastes are somewhat eclectic, otherwise known as "I'll read anything that doesn't escape." A sampling of authors I have enjoyed: Laura Ingalls Wilder The list could go on, certainly. In addition to writing, I enjoy fencing (foil and epee), shape-note singing (check out www.fasola.org to find out what that is), cooking and Scottish Country Dancing. If you prefer stories on a pretty green background, you can find me at Stories of Arda here: http://www.storiesofarda.com/author.asp?AuthID=303 I've also created an account at fictionpress.com: http://www.fictionpress.com/profile.php?userid=363751 I think that's enough to go on. |
