This doesn't have a lot to do with LOTR, but I thought you'd like to know that Sarah Zettel's book, "Shadows Of Camelot", will be out in May of this year. I have an uncorrected proof of the British Edition, (She sent me the Brit edition because the cover art is so beautiful.) and it's pretty good.
It calls itself "An Arthurian Romance". But it's no bodice ripper.
I thought I would mention it, in that last May, I posted a thread asking for pre Arthurian ballads, for Sarah's book. Thanks all you mudcatters.
