Norman Picklestripes Announced!

They just announced a fun new show I wrote for last year, Norman Picklestripes!

It does! I'll be interested in learning what you think about "Children of Hurin." As you'll see if you take a look at my review, I had some, uh, "problems" with it.

Thanks, Melissa! If you liked the Hobbit, I think you'll enjoy, LOTR. It's a challenging read, but very satisfying.
