In 12 hours, I'll be headed to Minneapolis with my daughter for #Westmoot26. I'll be giving a presentation about storytelling in Tolkien's home and in our own homes. Very excited!

If you're going, too, I hope to see you there!

It has often been said that J.R.R. Tolkien wanted to make a "mythology for England," but echoes of Middle-earth can be found among the monuments, mounds, and muddy rivers of the American Midwest.

It has often been said that J.R.R. Tolkien wanted to make a "mythology for England," but echoes of Middle-earth can be found right here among the monuments, mounds, and muddy rivers of the American Midwest.

Excited to share video from my presentation ("Reflections on Middle-earth from a Middle American") at last year's inaugural Westmoot conference from the Tolkien Society!

Looking forward to attending the Tolkien Society's #Westmoot again this year with Josie (seen here showing off her shirt at Graham Cave State Park in Missouri).

Still trying to decide if I should submit a talk proposal. I have what I think might be a decent idea, but I'm not sure yet.

Ready for Day 2 of #westmoot25! I'll be giving my first (public) Tolkien-related talk, and I'm very excited to share it. Come check it out at 2 p.m. today!
