The latest post in my slow read through the Silmarillion is up now - thoughts on Feanor and the Valar and why they seem to be bad surrogate parents. https://readingthesilmarillion.wordpress.com/2023/07/21/of-the-silmarils-and-the-unrest-of-the-noldor-quenta-silmarillion-7/ All readers welcome, and feel free to comment here or on the blog if you've anything to say!

Most people figure when they get to their 60s, it’s time to slow down, take stock, and hit cruise control.
That’s not what I did.
I came out of the closet, figured out this social media thing, and then made my Broadway debut in my 70s. Now I’m taking on London in my 80s!

To see me live and on stage in the West End, get tickets before they’re gone! https://Allegiancemusical.com

I need to share. I did add a CW since I know I’ve been posting about this a lot 😅 hopefully won’t much after this weekend. This is an exception for me because…

BOTH of my books are currently on the Amazon hard #scifi #bestseller list, thank God. Book 1 is #62, Book 2 is #88. I am blown away. Thank you all so much. I am an #IndieAuthor and this is…let’s just say, not easy. I truly hope you all love the book(s).
