| This made me think how coolo it would be to have an archaeological expedition into Middle-earth, discovering old roads and ruins. And how I wish I could see their stars! Author Reply: I get that same feeling every time I read a story that includes ruins. From my younger years, I remember clearly the joy of exploring old crumbling ruins from various periods of history (e.g. castles, chapels, walls, Roman roads, a salt mine founded in the 1500s, a reconstruction of a prehistoric village on stilts, and Roman baths in Europe; ghost towns and the still-visible ruts of the Oregon Trail in the Western US; cave paintings that I don't remember anymore where I saw them because it was so long ago). I can close my eyes and remember walking up a stone stairway in a castle ruin where feet have worn down the middle part of each stair, passing arrow slits in the outward-facing wall, pausing to peer outwards and imagining what the place was like when it was full of life and animals and people... I've never been on a "dig", but the idea of digging down through layers of history is also a fascinating concept. Their stars! Yes... I'd love to see the night sky in Middle-earth during the various seasons, and learn the names and shapes of all the constellations... | |

| I am so glad that you're back to regular posting! I look forward to seeing how The Tenth Walker goes from here. Though I suspect that once Bill the Pony leaves the Company, you're going to have your work cut out for you, figuring out how he ends up making his way back to Bree! =) Author Reply: Thank you! I got very busy at work for a few days (but I'm not complaining... it is good to have work) and missed a writing day and thus a day of my planned posting. But I'm back on schedule for the moment, and I am planning to keep posting regularly to the end of the story. You're quite right! I think DF knows something of it, as I bounced ideas off her once upon a time, but I'm sure she'll 'keep it secret' and 'keep it safe', so to speak! (Please give her my best regards next time you talk.) ((hugs)) I am looking forward to reading the next chapter of yours and DF's story. Stay safe. | |

| Indeed it was against the wind. A Nazgul mounted upon its fell beast, perhaps? Not a good sign, of course. Author Reply: If Strider said so, I believe him! I'm wondering if this is the first sighting of a Nazgul since the Ford? Thanks. (((hugs))) Stay safe! | |

| the wonder that is always in his voice, when ever he speaks of the Fair Folk Dear Sam. You write him (and all of the hobbits) so beautifully. Author Reply: How I am loving Sam more and more, seen through Bill's eyes! I suppose I ought to chuckle at myself... But then, Bill has always been a sound judge of character, it seems to me. Thanks! (((hugs))) Stay safe! | |
