Originally, Santa Cruz, California. Great climate, veeeeery expensive. Moved to Seattle, Washington, worked 10 years at the University of Washington as the Slavic, East European and Central Asian Specialist. Am now gardening in Idaho, land of the potato.

Read The Hobbit at 12, LOTR at 13 (a dozen times), went about daydreaming of new themes for Frodo, then added new characters from the present with modern weapons to blow away Balrogs. Envision my characters solving riddles at Elrond's Council, even to this day.

Listened to the music on the radio of 1973-1980 while re-reading LOTR. That music still makes me misty. If you don't listen to the radio while reading LOTR, try it!
