Biography:   I fell in love with Sam and Frodo back in the seventies, and Lord of the Rings was a bedtime story for our six kids, lo these many years. But the movies have made Middle Earth real to me in a whole new way, and started me writing my own additions to the story. I was tickled to death when I found other people are as obsessed as I am and also writing new adventures and insights into Middle Earth -- long live fan fiction!

Sam has been a bit too helpful - Frodo is feeling smothered as well as restless, and the young gardener is left behind, much to his dismay.
