It’s not quite finished, there’s still a final edit, footnotes, index etc, but I’ve actually got together a first draft of ‘Hobbit to Hero: The Making of Tolkien’s King’ . And today I delivered a copy of the manuscript to my prospective publisher.

Gosh, it’s been long time coming, nearly three years, and I do feel a little proud of myself for just

I am going to keep fingers firmly crossed that your book is found to be completely, eminently publishable! Now it's time to relax a bit and maybe enjoy some fanfic or watch the movies again and enjoy Aragorn as he is without having to worry whether you've caught all the reasons and details of how he came to be. *g*

And catching up with your story will definitely help in that regard. I just read read chapter two and loved it!

[cairistiona7]

Aw, yay! Glad it passed muster!

Oh Rachael, you're my sort of party girl! Thank you so much.

And you delivered the manuscript on Aragorn's birthday. How fitting!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed purely for selfish reasons because I'd love to read such a book.

It's lovely to hear from you Amy, and thank you so much. Yes, I was determined to get that draft ready for March 1st!

I never doubted you'd achieve your goal. Like Cairistiona I'm keeping everything crossable crossed your book gets published. In my book it deserves to. It is a beautiful tribute to Aragorn.

Anyway, now that it's done you should relax and enjoy having finished with such exit the task you set yourself.

Thank you! As you know, it was a close run thing and I so hope you're right.
