Musings on Tolkien and modern fantasy literature. Monday, November 25, 2013. Five Notes on C.S. Lewis. With the fiftieth anniversary of C.S.

This is Image and Imagination: Essays and Reviews. A trade paperback original. And a Kindle ebook. This is a short piece of...

Musings on Tolkien and modern fantasy literature. Thursday, September 19, 2013. Lost in Translation (the German one, specifically). With commercial work one usually benefits financially in a modest way from the sale of translation rights.
