Well, I am a junior at college (Western Illinois University to be exact) majoring in English, with a minor in Creative Writing. I will be turning twenty-one on May 16th. I am a vegetarian, straightedge (no drugs, no alcohol, no smoking) and would like to someday play the sitar.

*** Also, both ‘Hanging Fire’ and ‘The Return to Minas Tirith’ is now being hosted at There He Came (http://www.cold-winds.org/faramir/). This is a lovely site, with great info and a beautiful layout. A must for Faramir fans, but a site any LotR fan can enjoy!

*** Also, HF, RtMT and DoM are now archived at The Tower of Ecthelion (http://nachyoz.rh.rit.edu). This is another great site, filled with fanfiction dealing with Gondor. And check out the pictures too!


*** Lord of the Rings is obviously a major focus on most of my stories. Aragorn is by far my favorite character, but closely following are Faramir, Boromir and Denethor. I am also taking a liking to the characters of Rohan, most especially Eomer, but also Eoywn and Theoden.
