Busy, busy and an interview with the Tolkien Library!
At the moment I never seem to post about anything but being too busy. I have applied to reduce my hours at work but can't until they take on someone to cover those hours so there's no let up at present.
One thing I did manage to do a couple of weeks ago is answer Pieter Collier's questions for an interview with the Tolkien Library. Talking about myself like this was a very strange experience and I'm still a little embarrassed by the whole thing but here it is.

Fan fic writers may be interested to note I do mention my own 'past' as a fan fiction writer. I confess I did debate about this - as you know, I'm not a fan of all genres of fan fiction - but it has its place and I wanted to acknowledge the role it can have for more serious study.
Once again, please feel free to pass on the link to any groups that might be interested.
