My kind publisher made this to celebrate the award I was so honored to be granted by The Tolkien Society. I am looking forward to having news to share soon of my second book. If a walk through the Shire sounds like just the thing you'd like best, please follow me here for updates.
I just learned that my book, "Pity, Power, and Tolkien's Ring: To Rule the Fate of Many," (The Kent State University Press 2023) is a finalist for the 2026 "Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Inklings Studies" at The Mythopoeic Society.
I am flattered to be in such company. Best wishes to all!

I am swiftly approaching the conviction that at an extinction level event is the only chance to save this planet.
