Now that the holiday rush is over, we've finally had time to pull together some photos of the Lembas launch party at the LOTR Exhibit at the Indiana State Museum in December. Ten authors attended from as far away as England, the East Coast and Colorado. Even Ringer Spy Roheryn put in an appearance! We all had a great time and the exhibit itself was awesome in scope and unexpectedly moving. Worth a trip to Te Papa in the spring just to see it again!

Many thanks to the TORn staff and we all wish we could be there for ORC. Maybe next year!
