As your new pieces arrived, I determined to go back and read and review some of your older works. This one is so good I am sorry I did not find it before now. Your Eowyn and Faramir feel as if they stepped right out of the books. In this chapter she finally meets the man in her shadowy dream after the battle. I look forward in the rest of this story to seeing how they help each other back to the light.
I hope that your return to fiction after almost a year's absence means that your real life is treating you well. Best Wishes!

Author Reply: That's actually one of the highest complements I've gotten, that they're so close to the books. Since that was my intent, it's very good to know. Thank you!

Truth be told, several of these "new" pieces are actually older ones-- when I went to put up the most recent chapter of this and its spin-off one shot last night, I'd realized that I had several old stories on my hard drive that I'd never gotten around to posting here. So the only truly new one besides the addition to this is The Steward and the King. But yes, real life is going well. My career's finally starting to really pick up, which leaves me with less time for writing, but I think my muse has finally decided to stick around for awhile, so hopefully I'll be showing up here on a more regular basis now.

The famous first meeting of Faramir and Eowyn - be still, my beating heart! You write it well. She's still scarred and gunshy, but there are indications that she's very impressed by him.

Author Reply: Oh, good. It's definitely one of those things in the book that makes me swoony, so I didn't want to lose that. :) And it always seemed to me that, even though his immediately waxing poetic threw her for a loop, she was intrigued by him in spite of herself.
