Thanks for the welcome! I am definitely a fellow LoTR fan. Which do you like better, the books or movies? And what is your opinion of the Hobbit? I tried reading the Silmarillion a few years ago and could just never get into it. I may need to retry it again. I will also have to look into Beren and Luthien. It’s so nice to meet you.

Hello! *waves back and smiles*

Basic synopsis of my WIP: My book is a young adult fantasy novel with an epic medieval feel. It has two main characters: a princess named Arlynn and a run-away farm orphan named Jaegar. Basically the goal is to find the missing prince Darak of the country of Agri before the elections are held for a new ruler because the person likely to win this election is the wicked prince Tzadok of Saxum. If Tzadok were to win, he would eventually rule about 75% of the land of Insula Nova…making it relatively easy to conquer the other countries, including Arlynn’s homeland of Silva. In order to find Prince Darak, Jaegar and Arlynn have to find 5 key pieces to unlock a clue to his whereabouts. There’s a lot more to the storyline, but this is the simplified version, sorry if it’s still kinda confusing. Sadly, I think I will need to cut at least the first 10 chapters and completely rewrite them in order for the story to make sense. 🙂 First, I need to finish this draft. Then, it needs revising and revising and revising. I would absolutely love to publish it someday!

Fantasy is usually my preferred genre, but, if it’s a good book, I don’t care what genre it’s in. 🙂 Do you have a favorite?

Also, I would totally enjoy reading your book! It sounds really good.

Where does the name Arindown come from? It’s really pretty.
