Friend is getting as new and interesting experiences as are the hobbits!

Author Reply: Definitely! I wonder what his Rider will think of him when they are eventually reunited? Who knows what tricks he might pick up from hobbits?!

Um … and ‘He Died with His Boots On.’ 🤣

Author Reply: I've often wondered about the backstory to this. Whose boots? And who were the pranksters? And might Frodo have been involved somehow?

And ‘Frogs’…

I’ll stop filling up your review space now for the evening! Not sure how else to let you know, since the email function doesn’t work anymore… 😏

Author Reply: I hope you enjoyed the limericks! They do rather jump out at you after you've heard a few...

And ‘Of Cake and Crumbs and Distant Dreams’…

Author Reply: Definitely comfort food... You're right, Frodo isn't old by hobbit standards, but he might seem old to a tween. He's 22 years older than Pippin, I think? I remember my kids talking about how "old" someone was (someone I thought of as "young"), and realizing how relative age can be.

Also, I read ‘Someone As You Can Trust’ … ☺️

Author Reply: Thank you for letting me know! You're right, the emails aren't working right now. (They're on the list to be fixed, at least.) So I appreciate your leaving a note here to let me know to look at reviews there. (Does that make sense? The Muse is looking at me funny and grumbling, "None of your nonsense, now, Lin...")

The hobbity impediments… :-D

I’m glad his family has news of him now, but we don’t have time for that — there’s bad guys to defeat!

Author Reply: Families can certainly slow you down when they don't share your sense of urgency! But thankfully Bandobras has his priorities straight.

Thank you for reading and stopping to share your thoughts, both here and on the Beginnings story! I am glad for the smile today.
