To Formendacil, Hi, You are quite right when you say I do this through the love of Tolkiens works. I have a number of parodies, done by various authors, that quite frankly can`t have read much Tolkien, and decided to jump on the bandwagon. In my story the aspects of all the characters and their race has been exaggerated or inverted and their histories made to fit. My hope is that those people who went to the cinema to watch the films and then read the books, will read mine and be confused, for there are many references to The Silmarillion. Now if I can get one percent of the people who buy my book to go on and read more of Tolkien, I will be a happy man. I hope to have the book published before June.
