News from Beyond the Shire

Greetings fellow travelers in the realms of Middle-earth! We at the Heren Istarion Fellowship wanted to expand our Contributing Writers section to encompass everything from the latest bits of news on The Lord of the Rings films, to reviews on the latest Tolkien-related books and products, to website reviews. We'll have opinion on the realm of Middle-earth, and maybe even some gossip. And, I am pleased to announce that this section will be written by Heren Istarion's Field Reporter, Ms. Michelle Laundhardt. Please send Michelle your commentary, thoughts and questions! Or discuss these great articles at The Green Dragon Inn amongst friends and pints!

In Fellowship,
Jessica Burke
Co-Chair, Heren Istarion
