Antane's Anthology  by Antane 12 Review(s)
KathyGReviewed Chapter: 44 on 3/22/2024
Love this! This is so nice! What a great tribute to Ian Holmes. Yes, I know I reviewed this previously on two occasion, but hey, I just had to do it yet again! =)

And with that said, I hope you won't wait till Sir Ian McKellen is also dead before you write another tribute about him! In fact, I would like nothing more than to see you return to the fandom and rejoin the rest of us there (not fair, Precious, not fair!!! =)). I miss your great reviews of existing stories and your equally great stories, so please, come back! [gives Antane puppy-dog look]

This is nice! I like how you included Professor J.R.R. Tolkien and Sir Ian Holm in this story. Guess it's a little early to be adding Martin Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen! =)

I just wanted to let you know that I've finally started reading your book, "Chosen." Because of all the other stuff I was reading when my copy of it arrived, time didn't really permit me to start reading it earlier, or I would have let you know sooner; it was only this evening that I could finally begin. And I wanted to let you know, I like what I've read so far! =)


Author Reply: Great, glad to hear it! Hope you had a happy Hobbit Day. :) *hugs*

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

A most proper pair of earrings, followed by a blessed welcome. Thanks for this tribute to all of our beloved friends!

Author Reply: Le hannon, my dear Larner - glad to hear from you and that you enjoyed! Hope you are enduring the current craziness well enough. We are fine here. Can't wait for it to be over.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Thanks. I'll have to wait till next month to order it, since I've got to watch my spending for the rest of this month. But thanks for posting that link!


Author Reply: Hi, sorry for late reply here, got busy at work and then working on my writing - but you are welcome and I thank you for your support - much appreciated! :)

Namarie, God bless and hobbity hugs, Antane :)

Really? Interesting! I have a copy of your earlier book, "Moments of Grace and Glory in Spiritual Warfare," but I never knew about your later book. I should like to read it!

Self-publishing, huh? Well, again, I wish you success!


Author Reply: Thanks! Here's a link to get Chosen, either an ebook or print, right from my website rather than paying the devouring dragon that is Amazon and which gives a pittance in royalties - https://ofagespast.com/buybooks/ You will also see an ebook of poetry I wrote about a heroic quest - you can guess which one ;)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I see. Are you seeking publication, then? If so, I wish you success! Although I will miss your Tolkien fanfiction stories.


Author Reply: Thanks! I'm self-publishing through Draft2Digital.com and/or Ingramspark.com. They published my book, Chosen, which is about the journeys of Bilbo and Frodo that came out in 2018.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I see. Well, the story Dreamflower and I are working on is posted here on SoA, so if you feel like reading any Tolkien fanfiction, feel free to stop by and check our story out! It's a novel-length WIP.

So you're writing your own original fantasy stories, huh? Interesting! What are they about?



Author Reply: I've seen the mega opus of two of you but haven't read anything yet, though I am intrigued. As to my own stories, they are my riff on the hero's journey, or in my case, many heroes, in a series called The Storm Chronicles. It's still majorly a work in progress which keeps morphing as the pantser in me feels her way along the wall to find out what the series is really all about. The plot bunnies are running amok. Fun, fun. :) The first volume may be out later this year.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

OK, I'll check it out. Hope you won't go back into lurkdom anytime soon!

Dreamflower and I are writing a story, too, and it has Christian themes.


Author Reply: I think it more than likely the title is also my own farewell as I am working on my own fantasy stories now and can only handle one obsession at a time but you never know - I certainly wasn't expecting to do this story until it came to me.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I'm so glad you're back to writing Sherlock fanfiction! I've missed your stories.

So, Frodo, Bilbo, and Sam meet their creator, Professor Tolkien, when he dies? Interesting! =)


Author Reply: Just back for this moment. This began to bubble up when I heard of Sir Ian's acceptance of the Gift. Thanks so much for your kind words. :) Many moons ago, I did another much more detailed visit with Tolkien and his sub-creations. http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=6004&cid=25405. If you haven't read it, enjoy - or enjoy again if you have! :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
