'The Proverbs of Middle-earth' came out 6 months before my publisher folded, so since then I’ve self-published, dependent on word of mouth. It’s done well. My original goal was to sell 2000 – I’m now at 3595. Buy one! Direct or via Amazon. goo.gl/i26f4x

'There was a little corner of his mind that was still his own, and light came through it, as through a chink in the dark... wind and trees and sun on the grass, and such forgotten things.' Gandalf sees the means to Gollum's healing would be through nature. Interesting!
