After such a tumultuous year, I am hoping to go into 2021 with cautious optimism. Yet, even as I continue working on this series, I will admit I spent a lot of time afraid to work in anticipation of another tragic event that would keep me from doing what I love. However, readers and fans have given me more courage to go on–especially in anticipation of this release–possibly due to the “bonus” material.
In this download of the Original Version of The Saga of Thranduil, there an exclusive look-see into The Epic of Eryn Galen (the prequel, if you will). The first two chapters begin a journey for the Elves that (for some) will last until the end of the War of the Ring (in The Lord of the Rings). Under starlight, the elves awaken on the shores of Lake Cuiviénen. With a stop in a place that would one day become known to the world as Mirkwood, the saga of Elves of the Woodland Realm begins. Book I is their origin story; their legacy.
To end 2020 with something such as this reminds me of how my own journey to this work began–with uncertainty in adversity; wandering in darkness until the first light of the Day Star finally revealed the world to me. Not unlike the characters, I must find the strength to carry on knowing that every night has a day. Hope is often born in times when it seems lost.
This time TSOT* comes with a surprise—an exclusive look into Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen (you have been enjoying over at @tkwrtrilogy3).Beginning with the Awakening of the Elves at Lake Cuiviénen and through the lives of Orothôn (father of Oropher) and Oropher himself. This should be a nice year-end treat for everyone that loves elves and Middle-Earth.
I figured I would cheer myself up after such a tumultuous year. And nothing cheers me up more than sharing stuff! Just watch this space for ALL the links to download on December 26 (we’re going to attempt not to bring down WordPress again this year by having more than one place to grab a copy).
For further mystery, I’m not going to say which “version” of TSOT it is.
I heard if you have a Kindle, you can download PDFs (probably because that’s what you’re reading in the first place). Just putting that out there! Let’s end this year on a good note, please!
First things First: I’m officially returning to work on June 26. That means frequent excerpts to come for “The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy”. After a brief hiatus, it is good to get back to work again.
Now it is Father’s Day once again. It is hard to believe my own father has been gone for almost two years now. I was lucky that he lived long enough to see the original version of The Saga of Thranduil. I remember on our last day together, I read some of it to him because they said though he was in a coma, he could still hear. After four hours with, I was about to leave when he seemed to wake up and turn to me and ask me as he always would, “Where are you going?” I said, “I’m going home.” He said ‘ok’ and that was his last words to the world. He would die two days later.
Now, book business. After we nearly destroyed WordPress the last time we had a download available, we have decided to have more than one place for people to go. Besides being available here, the PDF can be downloaded here as well:

365 days ago, The Saga of Thranduil debuted on WordPress for the first time. 16,600+ views later, here we are. For 24 hours, I decided to release the original version one last time before the release of the Extended Version in December.
The next time it will be available will inside the entire trilogy. Don’t worry, though–another surprise is forthcoming.
If you belong to the book’s Facebook Page, you’ll be able to download it there. You may also download it here: https://tkwrtrilogy.wordpress.com/2019/08/18/happy-first-anniversary/

Thank you for reading. If my father were here, he would be proud.
