“In a great cave some miles within the edge of Mirkwood on its eastern side, there lived at the time their greatest king.”—J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit (p.154)

Time will tell the tale of my fate.
Nothing need be said for I am Thranduil and that is all that needs to be said. And remembered. Carry on as you were.
The UPDATE of all UPDATES: The Return of the King.
First of all, my printer was offline because it was disconnected by an idiot.
Secondly, My printer is online and works. Now I need ink and a lot of paper as I print the first copy of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil.
Thirdly, Chapter 19 begins tonight. It will be longer than expected. You get more Thranduil.
Lastly, The cruel, sarcastic, impetuous elven king with a mean streak longer than the Anduin that women seem to find sexy has returned–with a vengeance. He’s not just bad, he’s downright frightening.
On the set: Lee Pace as Thranduil (BOTFA).
I was told today by someone reading the “paper” copy of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil that it is hard not to read it and see Lee Pace’s Thranduil. She is a licensed counselor so she said that could the reason why some people think “Lee Pace/Thranduil” when they read it. She sees Lee/Thranduil when she reads it. I suppose, but for me it was about something more:
Yeah, get a good look and thank Peter Jackson for not returning to Gollum’s distant cousin and thank Lee Pace for being, well:
The hottest elf to ever grace reality–he pretty much is the God of Elves now. I hardly think it would be possible to find anyone to fill his shoes in this lifetime. So, I suppose it’s okay now. Thranduil in TKWR Trilogy is a nice balance of Tolkien and Lee. I will admit, he’s so much fun to play with–I look forward to what else I can do with him. Hoping my internet stays up–he’s about to have some more adventures. And his grandfather, too (who looks a lot like him, ironically).
Thranduil. In all his wondrous glory. Quiet, calculating and graceful–waiting for the right moment to explode into majestic splendor for all the girls in the world to swoon and never again want to see another elf because there is no other elf like Thranduil.
Thought I’d reblog. ☺️

Yes? You fainted? Is there something I can do for you?
January 7, 2024: Welcome to 2024!
Okay, I have been writing (and there is a LOT). However, I've had to deal with bedbugs for the past six months (and going). I have no time to go into the logistics (and the blame sits squarely on the shoulders of my stepsister), but I'm here to have some fun and tell you about what is going on with the HOB.
Without too much detail of the private conflicts that plagued this project since its creation upon the heels of the success of @tkwrtrilogy2, @tkwrtrilogy, and @tkwrtrilogy3, there has been an overhaul. Also, the latest addition to the trilogy will make its debut on Wattpad (but will come here eventually).
First, the OVERHAUL: Welcome to the HOB Universe.
You're asking yourself: WTF is this? Well, the best explanation of it can be seen here. All that applies is that this takes place in 17th-century France rather than Middle Earth.
I will be overhauling the Tumblr for @lesecretdelamaisondubourbon. There is a reason, but to find that out, you'll have to read the memoir about all of this (TBA). Either way, it comes on the heels of family drama and the death of a friendship that was supposed to last forever (according to her). But, the book (known by the title XIV) is going up on Wattpad, so while it is being overhauled over here, you can read it in its proper order over there.
XIV: The life and times of Louis XIV as told by Louis XIV--if you haven't figured that out yet. It is part of Book III; his father's story (@thesecretofthehouseofbourbonbook) is Book II.
Now, about that other book: The original title of the book (that was going to be written by my former co-author) was Monsieur. If you guess that the book was going to be about Philippe I, Duc d'Orléans (younger brother of Louis XIV), you were right.
If you think this is a retelling of centuries of rumor and innuendo, you would be wrong. This will be his story--told by Philippe. Under the title of Son of France (Fils de France in French), this is the story you were never told. After 383 years, it is time.
His story officially began in January of 2024, and he will be following his brother Louis here once he debuts on Wattpad. Stay tuned for more. He's part of the universe now.
Hello. I’m back. Again.
