ICYMI, here's my talk from the inaugural #Westmoot last year.

"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."
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!
If you're at #westmoot25 in KC, come check out my talk Saturday at 2 p.m. It's a personal take on finding echoes of Middle-earth right here among the monuments, mounds, and muddy rivers of the American Midwest.
Everyone who knows me will attest that I *love* to talk about Tolkien and Middle-earth (and can do so at length).
I'm still pinching myself that I've been given a chance to present at the first-ever #Westmoot. My talk will be titled "Reflections on Middle-earth from a Middle American."
My daughter and I will be heading to KC on Thursday. If any of you fine folks will also be there, please let me know! We'd love to see you.
