Hullo! My name is Linwe. My love affair with Tolkien began roughly thirty years ago in my teens, when I became completely entranced with the beauty and power of his writing, especially in Return of the King. Ever since, the landscape of my mind has been shaped and molded by this extraordinary book which I visited regularly year after year, while keeping it a quiet and private obsession. I have since gradually worked my way through The Hobbit, The Sil, The Unfinished Tales, and the complete set of HOME books and now read and collect as many books as I can pertaining to Tolkien’s works and own several editions of LotR. Among a ton of other LotR paraphernalia, I am also building a small army of Frodo figurines. lol.

I live in the U.S. in northern Minnesota in a small port city on the tip of Lake Superior. To keep a roof over my head and books on my shelves, I work as a postal employee for the USPS. I’m pretty hobbitic in spirit as far as enjoying simple pleasures and a simple life. Some of my interests include reading, poetry, drawing, writing, classical music, playing with my new digital camera, going for tramps in the woods, fooling on the computer, camping, canoeing, drinking coffee, collecting Frodo pics, and curling up for a good nap at every possible opportunity.

I am a Co-Moderator for the Movies & Casting Forums, a job I share with fogriipus (Movies) and Rosearielelven (Casting). I am also helplessly smitten (if you haven’t already guessed by now) with a certain dark-haired, blue-eyed hobbit and hope to spread the Frodo-love abroad to all who have yet to awaken to the quiet wisdom and beauty of this lovely hobbit.
