Everything’s sweeter in the South has always been her mantra and she lives by it, whether it’s with her writing or in her everyday life. Maybe that’s why she’s seriously addicted to chocolate.

    After a chance meeting between a fierce warrior and a conscientious objector from opposite sides of a galactic conflict, the two rival spaceship pilots conclude that war is as pointless as arguing with an Orthodox Tautologist. Together they form the Pacifists, a "militant anti-war group" consisting of a perpetual teenager whose species was created in a botched attempt to overcome the aging process; a big rig pilot and former orbital race champion; and a pair of prankster twin brothers. 
    Of course, battling two galactic armed forces at once is all well and good. It's when you gain the ire of the military industrial complex itself that things really start to go sideways.

    Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable, is central to the enmity of two of the greatest powers in the world.

    Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, and guided unseen by Ulmo he sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin to warn them of their coming doom. Then Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. 
    The Fall of Gondolin, a Sunday Times bestselling book, is a historical saga that is the best of J. R. R. Tolkien's literary fiction. This fantasy tale, filled with folk mythology, legends, and sagas, will transport you to a world of elves, balrogs and orcs.
