Greetings– Quickbeam here.

In last month’s “Out on a Limb” I asked my readers this question: “If you could visit any mysterious, out-of-the-way place in Middle-earth, where would you go?” The object is to create a special piece about how Tolkien’s imagination influences our own. Everyone is invited to read and participate.

You have only until July 15th to send your submissions. That’s this coming Saturday, so hurry!

Much too hasty,
Q.

Guess what folks! I’m an Uncle! I am proud to announce that my good friend, and TORN staff member, Tookish, has just told me, that he has been handed a beautiful baby girl!!!
