I was embarrassed to find a three-year-old email on my computer, lost and unassociated with anything, a story about Bilbo and Gandalf, with Gerontious and Belladonna Took. Bilbo is my favorite hobbit. Most of you know I am not reading fanfiction much anymore, but this was not real long and something caught my attention, so I read it. Go read it, it's quite hobbity.
Turns out in the three years since submitting this he's had a novel and over 20 other short stories published in speculative science-fiction and fantasy markets. I looked them up - he really has!
It is called The Lark and the Lost Key.
