Introduction to The Half-Elf

This is not set in Middle-earth. I admire J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, so much so that I am creating a story not unlike his tales, but I do not wish to be such a copy-cat as to use his setting and his characters. I also do not feel able to recreate the people and places therein.

Therefore, although you may find that my world is similar to Middle-earth, and some characters may remind you of Thorin or any of the Dwarves in his company, or Legolas, Arwen, Gildor, or even Elrond, they are not the same.  There are no Hobbits (sad as that may seem to many of you), no Wizards, and no Rings of Power. There are Elves, Dwarves, wonderful weapons, and other things Tolkien cannot take full credit for, but they may act and be described very similarly to his creatures. I also used some of his languages for authentic names and phrases.

Anyway, I sincerely hope that you enjoy this tale, whether or not you think me a copy-cat or uninventive.
