Author has written 26 stories for Lord of the Rings, and Silmarillion.

It's been a while since I have updated this bio.

Mae Govannen! It seems the fandom is reinvigorated by the new Hobbit movies. While I love Tolkien's work I am looking forward to PJ and CO.s take on our lovely woodland friends. Most of my stories are elf-centric. I am currently rewriting/revisiting my longest story- Creation Song- as the first version needed lots of work, had a lot of plot holes, and was not provided a fitting end. I blame the times I was writing for that. I have been a Thranduil fan since I first read the Hobbit ages ago as a child. It will be interesting to see how folks react to him now that the brilliant Lee Pace is portraying him in the movies. Hopefully we get more thoughtful pieces written about this fantastic Lord. PEACE & Namarie!

Finrod has been reembodied and he is back in Valinor, after centuries spent in exile. This unexpected event is seen as a blessing by his parents, but what of Amárië, the Elf he was betrothed to and who could not follow him to Beleriand? The story of their second 'first encounter' and lots of flashbacks.

Starlight: the Needle and the Sword by brigitte51 reviews
According to the Silmarillion, Fingon was married and was the father of Gil-Galad. So here's the story, or at least my take on it. From the early years of the Exile till the end of the 1st Age. Maedhros will pop in from time to time as well as other characters. I've added Gil-Galad as one of the 'main' characters (from chapter 16). And it's now complete!

Incomprehensible by Nol reviews
Amrod and Amras are amused and intrigued by their brother Maedhros' meeting with someone called Findekano. An unashamed bit of fluff made of polysyllabic words, precocious children, and a romantic backstory that is as incomprehensible as the title.
