Robin Lythgoe was born in Maryland, but spent several years in Oregon and did a short stint in upstate New York before winding up in Utah. She married an artist, and together they have four wonderful children. Reading and writing have always been a part of her life, and she is particularly drawn to fantasy. When she was growing up her mother often led expeditions to the library, from which the entire party invariably returned laden with a stack of books guaranteed to make the arms longer. Robin read everything voraciously, and when she finished her stack, she'd start on her mother's… and then her sisters'. Today she writes tales about wizards and magic, fantastical places and extraordinary journeys. ...more

Nice, tidy little hobbit holes, lovely views, friendly people. SAFETY… Hahaha!

If, on the other hand, I could choose a place from my own works, I think I might go with the Bahsyr Empire in "As the Crow Flies." Perhaps I could get a job as cook with the new company and see the world… watch the capture of a few not-demons…(less)
