I was a professional librarian for 12 years. Then came 2 children. I'm writing a fantasy novel. I'm a Christian of a liberal kind. I have built a computer for my son! I am so smug about it. I help run a Parent-and-Toddler Group at my local Church Hall, which is a lot more fun than you'd think!
I ought to explain the name: it's from the major fantasy series that I began writing when I was 17. Even the memory of the story now makes me shudder, but I'm still fond of that particular girl. It is also an obscure Lord of the Rings reference.
The sense of the miracle of humanity itself should be always more vivid to us than any marvels of power, intellect, art or civilisation.
- G K Chesterton The Ethics of Elfland
