Will you be at #SDCC this year? I’ll be bringing copies of my book, along with tons of freebies that I’d love to give to YOU! I can’t wait! 🤩

Messing around with maps again! #middleearth #beleriand #tolkien

A long-expected party! 🍄 Our family is so grateful to share that our newest little hobbit has arrived safely! Both of us are doing well. Thank you for all of the prayers and kind wishes! 🤎

Taking some time off from socials to prepare for the birth of my baby! Some things will continue to be auto-posted, but my responses will likely be delayed. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up! 🫶

I'm so sorry to hear that folks outside the US have had issues purchasing my book from Amazon. My publisher has advised purchasing through one of these two retailers instead. Redemptorist Publications: www.rpbooks.co.uk/into-the-hea... Blackwells: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Sending my love to everyone attending WestMoot this weekend! I wish I was able to join you, but I’m home getting ready to meet our newest little hobbit any day now! For those attending in person, I sent some special free goodies - so make sure you grab one! And send photos! 🫶

Vairë’s task is ever so clearly beautiful yet subtly critical + the fact that Míriel joins her to tell the story of her husband and children… which is, you know, quite rich. So I wanted this piece to be the richest. If you can figure, there are 2 events on tapestries, one about Míriel’s firstborn +

In my opinion, this is a great sign. Viggo was brilliant in the Jackson trilogy and will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m thrilled for new actors to join the Middle-earth family. Tolkien’s myth lives on in the re-telling and the way I see it: the more the merrier!

I love The Rings of Power so much

[Sauron] did not object to the existence of the world, so long as he could do what he liked with it ... Morgoth had no ‘plan’: unless destruction and reduction to nil of a world in which he had only a share can be called a ‘plan’ ... Sauron had never reached this stage of nihilistic madness. 1/3

yeah I’m into LOTR Loving Others and Treating them with Respect 🥰

Haven’t Tolkien-posted much lately, but my beloved @teawithtolkien.com has a book coming out on the 20th! It’s an earnest exploration of how to bring loving hobbit values into our daily lives, and we NEED more of that

On 5 February 1968: BBC began filming for the "Tolkien in Oxford" documentary, later broadcast in March. In this clip, he talks about his invented languages, writing Tengwar (with mistakes!), and others enjoying the languages. #Tolkien #lotr #BookSky

Two weeks until my book releases! If you have been considering pre-ordering it but haven’t had the chance yet, I’d be so grateful if you did so soon! Pre-orders are apparently quite important for a book’s success so it would mean the world to me. ❤️ www.teawithtolkien.com/book

This happens every time, but I'll put on the Rings of Power score as some nice ambient music while I'm working but then before I know it I'm weeping at my computer lol today's tears are brought to you by "Forgiveness Takes an Age" 😭
