I am the author of "The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy". I completed Book II: The Saga of Thranduil (two versions). I am currently on Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen and Book III: The Last Tale of Legolas Lasgalen © 2015-2018.

I know it has been a while, but if you only knew what I have to go through regularly, you would understand why it takes me so long to do anything. I will go into that on another day. It is special because today, the world gets the first look at Book II: The Saga of Thranduil--Extended Version.

If you are a member of the Facebook Group, then you can get it there. If you are not, you will have to go here. It will be available in both places from now until November 7, 2023. It would be appreciated if you would leave a comment on this thread about whether you liked it or not because I sent it out for beta readers for a reason.

I have been in talks with a lot of publishers on demand who want to publish this book. One of them overzealously wanted to turn the book into a Netflix series. (do not ask). I would rather film the story in order, which begins with @tkwrtrilogy3. At over 1200 pages (currently), the entire trilogy is long enough to have a television show (but I would want it to include @oflordsandkingstkwrtbook and @tkwrtsongofsevenrivers). I am aware of that. To be honest, I would like to be the one to write the script as I also know how to do that (from experience). But, because my stepsister (Roseann Grotjan) stuck me into a Britney Spears situation, I do not have access to my money or any way to negotiate the publication of any of my books (and I have several) on my own, so this is going take a while. I have millions of adoring fans willing to scare the BeJesus out of her in order to get their favorite book in print and onscreen.

But. someone leaked to me what a perspective book cover of The Saga of Thranduil would look like. I will post one of the mock-ups because seriously, who is going to notice? It is a mock-up, so it is not a final design. Also, I didn't choose it. It was chosen for me to persuade me to choose this particular company. There are at least seven or eight of these people trying to persuade me to publish this book. One of them has actually read the book, and it made them cry.

They want to sell it in hardcover and paperback. Wouldn't that be nice? My bestie (@fortunatelyclevercandy) wants me to wait. I will not tell you why because I know why, and I'm about to do what she asked me to do. I want literally no FREE PR around it.

Oh, that is a lot I know. But if it were not for my stepsister, the state of Missouri, and the crappy hellhole they put me in the middle of nowhere with shitty internet (on purpose), I would be farther along, and everybody probably would have several copies of this book series by now. The moral of my story is: do not trust your family after your father dies and leaves you some money. They might just get the idea in their head to take it from you to make $20/hour as your guardian by claiming that you're crazy when you just asked them about your own trust fund. But I digress.

Enjoy The Saga of Thranduil--Extended Version. You will be the ones who will decide which version of this story gets published. You will be the ones that will make it possible to see the Elvenking's life story in a book store, online, or even on Netflix.

One day, my life story will make a hell of a Hulu series. If you want this book in print you had better leave a comment.

Dearest Followers,

I am not Lee Pace. I don’t know Lee Pace. I like Lee Pace—who doesn’t? I’m not lying. Trust me—if I knew Lee Pace I’d never shut up about it and I’d do it in an English accent. If I were Lee Pace, I’d have a Tumblr of selfies with my pets, random fans on the street and a lot of pandas or animals in nature—or food. I love food. We do have the same hair color but that’s not my fault.

Signed, Me (not Lee Pace).

I guess I should get used to getting a love note every time I post something. I guess that's what it means to be Thranduil. It's a lifetime commitment. This was my choice as much as it was fate because this was the first thing I’ve ever written that has gotten worldwide notice and made me a real author that other authors think of as one of them.

So, uh, with that said, um, I’d like everyone to know that she loves her “Aran” (king in Sindarin, yeah, uh..) and I’m special and she would like us to love each other among the stars and travel to far away places...okay, wow. Okay. 

Is my Thranduil too romantic because I think he’s about right. I think he’s in a really good relationship with Êlúriel. They argue once and awhile. I’ll admit, they are rather, um..amorous, but I blame that on Lee Pace:

“His understanding of love is different. It’s more profound. It’s deeper.”--Lee Pace on Thranduil

Uh, yeah, I just work with what I’m given and I think he gave me a lot from that perspective. Just saying..I think Lee’s really deep...rather passionate fellow..or something..I would like to say, I don’t look like him except on Instagram.

Fun Fact: There have only been three Thranduils: Otto Preminger (director of Carmen Jones), Lee Pace and Me. I’m the only girl in this very peculiar club that has taken on Tolkien’s Thranduil in one form or another. I will admit though, I will be the only person (that I know) that will be Thranduil’s father Oropher but get to share Legolas with Anthony Daniels (C3-PO) and Orlando Bloom. Can I scream now?

OOPS, HE DID IT AGAIN...

Hmmm...just wondering if I should allow The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy be illustrated and/or turned into a graphic novel...still thinking. There has been some interest. I’ll think on it. I have some writing to do for now. Thranduil just keeps getting bigger. He’s currently about push his first 200 followers on Facebook (I’d have more but I’m low-key; this attention began when a Mythopoeic Society member unintentionally “outed me” early last year and it’s been a roller coaster ever since). True, he does have some name followers on Twitter and elsewhere (Instagram, Pinterest, WordPress), but that only gets him so far. He had to have readers.

TKWR Trilogy has broken a few ceilings since its inception (12-22-15)--one of them being readership--for an unpublished book it’s doing well (even though people including professionals are now questioning what TKWR is: they can’t decide whether it’s a fan fiction, a continuation or a whole new genre). It’s already pinned under films, books, fan-fictionLOTR/HOBBIT or Tolkien on Pinterest. It’s safe to say the flagship book, The Saga of Thranduil has opened the door to many opportunities--all of which would make my Dad proud. 

I’m kinda glad it’s not a real book at the moment--TKWR Trilogy is the reason my family isn’t talking to me--they’ll say otherwise, but this is the actual reason). But if I get anymore readers, they won’t have a choice but to deal with it. 

I don’t like to talk about the numbers because it bothers me and I only shared it with an editor in Canada because she deals with that sort of thing and they are enough now that I have to start thinking in the long term and my family will hate me even more for it. It’s only a matter of time and I know it, @fortunatelyclevercandy. I can’t even say for sure what Lee knows. I try not to think about it but it’s starting to get big enough where it would be a near impossibility the Tolkien Estate won’t notice and with enough readers for them to care. I just want to finish the story and make it good and not upset my family anymore than necessary, @mystarlightblr.  I have to keep up looking like a pathetic loser so they’ll have something to talk about. They are most happy when they think I am a failure--I’m not kidding. I wish I were.

There are a lot of people waiting for something--what, I have no idea. But it’s safe to say that Thranduil has put Mirkwood on the map and out in plain view of the world in a way never seen before. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t exciting--I never expected this to even get noticed in a sea of other “Thranduil” stories--much less Tolkien professors, collectors and those close to the Tolkien family. It’s a whole new world now--anything can happen.

I’m editing the first book even as I write the next one and the extended versions, so there is some time to decide the end game for this trilogy. I just have to start thinking more about the future of Thranduil and this story in more professional terms--now that a business asked if I wanted to put his story on a tee-shirt.

Bring on the Pace, @fortunatelyclevercandy. What have I got to lose now? Aside from some editing, Book II: The Saga of Thranduil is done and out in the world. #Thranduil. Might as well go all the way. Won’t be long before Selfie Boy finds out about it anyway, right? One of his fans is Tolkien’s grandson in California. How delightfully not accidental for me. He lives out where the founder of the Mythopoeic Society’s widow and daughter live–where I used to live where 16 years ago I may or may not have run into a tall brown haired actor in my acting class one summer that just so happened to have attended Juilliard in NYC during the exact same time I was in LaLa Land and we just so happen to share iPhones and hats. How incredibly and perfectly non-accidental. I wish I smoked or drank or something right now. I’m so stressed out, I’m calm.

Oh. By the way, @fortunatelyclevercandy​..I forgot to say….the tall guy did kiss me. I remember. It was on the cheek. That’s why I forgot why I had to go to my car for a minute before class. Then I remembered–for my headshots.

The tall guy kissed you… Uh-huh. 

Why am I not surprise, @iamjaynaemarie

Ps: I’ve made a dream in which I met him, today. What does that mean? Strange things happen, today. 😞 

What do you MEAN You’re Not surprised? It’s an actor thing–mostly among Theatre people or theatre trained people. He must have been from the Theatre because few film actors do that–at least not until the last day of shooting. Well, it happened in a theatre, so…YOU’RE NOT SURPRISED….are you kidding me? He had soft lips and he was incredibly pale from what I remember, @fortunatelyclevercandy. That’s all I remember–I mean other than he had a hat on. Black.

So anyway…..ooo…dreaming of Lee?

Tell us more, tell us more…did you get very far?

Oh, sorry. Bad me. I make up immediately. 

*ahem ahem* *deep breath*

OH. MY. GOOOOOOD!!!! HE KISSED YOU ON THE CHEEK!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! 

*sigh*

Is it ok like this?… 

Haha. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great thing. I mean, It doesn’t happen every day to receive a kiss from him - that’s awesome - but I don’t wonder that it happened. When you told me about a demonstration scene you and him made together during the class, I had ask you if it was a kiss included in the scene. You answered me, no but I was “prepared” to hearing from you about a possibly cheek kiss. :)

Besides, I’m not surprised because I am italian - do you remember it? Italian people usually greeting like this with everyone: relatives, friends, acquaintances. With the exception of people whom we are in business with - but not always. So, if he greets you with a kiss on the cheeck is awesome - but not a surprise for me. ;) 

Maybe it happened again. One day.  We will see.

About the dream of Lee… nothing special. He was at an event - there was also Martin Freeman and idk who other else - to meet some fans. I was in a balcony, far from him because I didn’t have the ticket to enter in the area reserved to those ones had paid. I was there with two or three friends and when the “official” event was ended - there was a little Q&A with fans - we got closer at the reserved area and he came to greet us and holding our hands, my friends taken some authographs and given to him some gifts. They was very nervous but not me - that’s strange. There’s some confusion and he had to walk among the crowd to come back to his place and sit on a chair.  I had followed him with my friends. One of them had gifted him a piece of chocolate cake that he started to eat. I was standing next to him and I asked to my friend if there was huzelnuts in it but she didn’t answers me so Lee taken one of them from the piece of cake and given it to me. I have peeled it - idk why it had still the peel - and I ate it and I said: “Hazelnut. I love huzelnuts.” He given me a smirking look. Buh. :/

Prophetic dream. Might come true.

@fortunatelyclevercandy, The first time I told my story, I didn’t remember much. I had forgotten a lot of things that happened before 9-11. Being in LA when that happen was horrible. A city that is so loud every day all of a sudden you could hear birds singing. I ran home to Missouri and literally only remembered little things here and there. I didn’t even get on a plane for 10 years. I was a bit traumatized. I went to a psychologist that kinda “released” the memories so to speak. Being an abused child, I know very well how to block things out. It’s a coping mechanism. But theatre folk are like French and Italians--very “kissy” I suppose. Theatre people more so--why I don’t know. Must be all the time we spend together putting something together (and it is a lot of time).

I did think it was odd because most people in LA don’t do that much--except for the Theatre folks and a couple of celebs--yeah, I’ve been kissed by a few. I still don’t remember everything, but things are starting to return a bit. I’m still horrible with names at times--takes me forever to remember them sometimes--but I seldom forget faces and I never forget what I’m thinking at any given time. If it was Lee Pace, well then it was.

It would be kinda weird if it were--here we are, literally 16 years to the day all that happened. Me, just wrote a book about Thranduil and him not long from being Thranduil. Him being part of the inspiration for the book The Saga of Thranduil. That would be serendipitous, to say the least. Fate, I don’t know. It was a long time ago, but if it was him...that would be something. Never mind the whole phone/hat/farmer thing. I’d get death threats more than likely--more so if it were him and he actually remembered me. The guy did take one of my headshots, @fortunatelyclevercandy. My avatar shot would be one of them. Professionally, from what I remember, there was something there. I liked him. I should have gone with them when I was asked.

YES, I WAS ASKED TO GO SOMEWHERE AFTER CLASS WITH A GUY THAT LOOKED LIKE LEE PACE 16 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH AND I DIDN’T. WHY? I CAN’T SAY. I WANTED TO GO. BUT I DIDN’T. ONE REGRET.

I am not going to begin to tell anyone what Buddy was thinking. Inside class, from what I remember, we were “jumpy”, so to speak. All I can really remember was the fact we were inseparable because we were the only two new people. It was an interesting day because I remember that before I went to the class, I didn't want to go. Both Buddy and my sister asked me to go for three years and finally one day, I said, what the heck. Kind of the same issue with writing the book. I didn’t want to do it at first then I just said, what the heck.

Yeah if I had kids, I would have something to pass down to grandchildren. We’ll have to wait and see. I guess it would be a plus--if “Thranduil” liked his story. I’m sure he’s like most people--fan fictions are all about sexual fantasies and are NSFW or something. Mine isn’t but most who don’t want to read it will never know and those who won’t read it will never know because of assumption. That’s okay with me. I didn’t write it for them. But if he did like it, I guess you, @fortunatelyclevercandy would have to write the very weird story about how it all got started--all the way back to 2001 because that’s were it really would have started if that was Lee Pace in my class.

Avatar

Oh, who gave my book to Lee Pace? None of you would do that, would you? Yeah, my doctors want to do that. Me, I’m good right now. No need in getting him caught up in “Lord knows who’s reading this book right now.”

(I have no idea how many have gone out and only one person has told me they had it less than a day later, but the pages I sent the links to on Facebook are rather active right now--especially with the Mythopoeic Society. In all honesty, it is anyone’s guess who has a copy of the first draft--minus the two people I sent it to prior to posting it for the world).

I don’t know whether to be excited or scared. This is new for me. It’s also the first time I’m somehow attached to an actor because of something I’ve written--kind of. The last time was one of the sons of Bob Marley and paparazzi from Italy followed us for seven years. Unlike with Lee, I can say that back then, there was something to be chasing. But that was a long time ago and as you can see, I’m single (I don’t know about the other person; I’ve been busy writing a book about an elf since then).

Anyway, I still get people telling me my “Thranduil” sounds like Lee Pace as Thranduil, hence the nickname “The Two Thranduils”. Trying to lay low because of that. Remember, we are in three places where we can see anything the other does so it would not be out of the ordinary that we might pass one another via “tags or mentions.” I also think he must think I’m a guy on Instagram for the fact that over there, guys think I’m a guy.

I am well aware of the Lee Pace Factor--he’s been brought up by a lot of people on and off the internet since I started writing the book. I’m in no hurry to know whether or not he reads it or cares about it, but should he read it on his own volition, that’s fine with me. He’s a reader like everyone else who’s read it. I can’t stop him. My main concern is writing the book and making sure it’s well done. 

I can’t ignore the fact that the chance of our paths crossing just grew exponentially in the past 24 hours and will probably grow wider as the week goes on. I have NO idea what is going to happen at all. I can’t fathom the fact I wrote my first book. That blows my mind.

I promise you, @fortunatelyclevercandy, I won’t run away if something happens. I’ll just tell him to talk to my PR person and send him to you. 😁 Unless someone else would like to handle him.

What can I say? It was Facebook's turn to ask questions after an hour with Twitter. Then I had to write down my own characters to make sure I put them in the write place. Then I realized I could add at least two more chapters to Book II based on half the stuff I missed when I had that power outage. So now, I'm off to Chapter IV of Book III (finally). Thranduil gets a lot more traffic than I am ready for or anticipated. Gets in the way of work and fun. I need fun. And a nap. Maybe a cookie? I don't know. What do you think? God, what is going on? My life is out of control and I have no one to talk to. Except Thranduil, I guess. Oh, well. Just another lonely day, I guess. 😔

Welcome to “Crazy in Mirkwood”, where Thranduil breaks Facebook to the point nothing works and he keeps getting “mentioned” on Twitter by people he doesn’t know and just got 20 followers in 4 hours (let’s just say, Twitter surpassed Book II followers here in two days--I would like to thank Scotland for that--I mean it. I got mentioned by part of their Tourism pages and now I’m on a couple of lists or something related to Scotland). It’s so bad right now, I think Thranduil may just have to get a website. It’s unreal. NOW he has therapists. Seriously, @fortunatelyclevercandy. I got two of them--one of them happens to be available in case I get stressed. Oh, well. How could I possibly be stressed out. I’m so intertwined with Outlander, we fan share. It’s outrageous. I got mentioned so many times in an hour on Twitter, I had to take a lunch break at breakfast! It’s beyond crazy.

See, @peonies-and-poppies, this is why no one knows the future. It might scare the heck out of you. I got two tweets from Halt and Catch Fire. I said as little as possible because right now, if I breathe too loudly, I might run into Lee. Wouldn’t be hard--Scott Kyle sees Graham McTavish every day who talks to Richard a lot (who retweets Ian McKellen often). I got a mention from one of the main characters main charities today...I don't even know why.

I am living in a parallel universe, @littletesla. It’s outrageous. It’s madness. It’s made for tv or something. I need a paper bag. It’s not like you can’t look at my Twitter page and not know what its about--huge photo of Thranduil straight across. Help...need air...losing it....

Okay, @leepacesweetfantasy..walk me through this again. What is going on? I’m confused. It’s like I’m not in Kansas anymore. Okay, I don’t live in Kansas (driving through it is punishment enough). I don’t know what to do. I just wrote a book. That’s it. That’s all. I don’t know why an animation studio is following me. I don't know why a comic book company is following me. I don’t know why I’m followed by Outlander fans or even a cast member. I am rather confused--and can’t work at the moment due to me breaking another page.

@becauseiamrealelf, the last time Thranduil broke something, it was my very first Tumblr page. Tumblr couldn’t fix it so I got this one. Thranduil got his own blog because if he didn’t, Tumblr would have made wanted posters. He single-handedly forced Pinterest to change the way they handle Tumblr because he actually broke Tumblr and Pinterest at the same time then broke my Facebook connection to all of them.

@elvesunderstarlight, Thranduil was so bad, Verizon called me to tell me that one of my apps (Tumblr) ate up 2GBs of phone memory in 4 hours. Who does that? Thranduil. I don’t know why...okay, so I know why, I think. I don’t know. Maybe I just need a nap, @storytimeteller1. I don’t have a clue.

I have this recurring nightmare that I’m going to look up and Lee Pace will show up giving me a stern look, @lasimo74allmyworld.

Yeah, like this...ask me “What have I done? Who are you? Why does that idiot think I’m a bar?” I guess it could be worse--he could find out through the grapevine from the set of Outlander. I don’t know. I just know when I woke up this morning because my father woke me up for the second straight day with an annoying phone call to ask me was I awake. Yeah, now I am, Dad. Then I realized that nothing was the same. Everything that was before was a distant memory. I think Thranduil said it best, “My life was the only relic that was left as evidence of the truth.” (Book III, Chapter II).

There are no accidents in this world, @fortunatelyclevercandy.  It was no accident Lee Pace was chosen to be Thranduil no more than it was an accident that I saw an entire story in his eyes and decided to write it. None of this happened accidentally but fortunately it happened.

Welcome back to The Distraction. Enjoy your stay, @fortunatelyclevercandy

Mr Distraction is back…

Good. Lord. He’s here. I need a minute *sigh* 

Ok, @iamjaynaemarie, if I have to enjoy my stay…

… WE GET THE PARTY STARTEEEEED!!! 

imageimage

Just kidding...I’m going to be good now.. I got a Huff Post writer and novelist following me today. He’s pretty important, @fortunatelyclevercandy. Mark Rubinstein. I have to really be good now. I picked up several NYT best-selling authors today. I think the Lee Pace thing worked somewhat....so I have to be good...yep. I have to work...no fun for me. Nope...no fun. No distractions.

imageimage

But, before I go...just one more thing...just for you...and anyone else who likes Lee Pace...I don't know how to do this...uh...without being too, how do you say...obvious...Oh, hell...I’ll just come right out with it...

Who does NOT agree...? I didn't think so.......

Yes, this is the ultimate distraction. I put all my toys away now. I laughed, I cried. It was bittersweet. Priorities you know. I have a lot to do--a lot. A book to get out, two to write. I am tapped to do two more...I cannot afford to be distracted by...what was I talking about...oh, right...this....man...or whatever he is.... (I could do this for hours...) God, he really is distracting...I wonder if that’s like a second gig he’s got? No? He’d get paid well if it were. I need to get laid...or drunk (don’t drink, right..)...something...how about I donate to a blood bank...(I weigh too little...) okay...uh,what the hell is wrong with me?

Yep, they were right, he’s distracting...

Just shoot me now...I can’t get over the distractibility level this guy has. Does he do this a lot? Anyone? @peonies-and-poppies. He has yet to ruin my life, but he has obliterated my sex life from now until death. 

Whoop, there it is....

Okay...I’m done now....I hate those eyes....They are a distraction..I wouldn’t admit it in a 1000 years... @fortunatelyclevercandy..there he goes again...

I could have sworn you had another book to write. Food for thought--write it. That’s Joe. He keeps me focused...

...Because this is what I have to live with for yet another year, two more books, and 300 + more pages...I think I’m gonna like it here....

OH, really? This Lee needs love? Are you kidding ME? I haven’t been here but a year. I swear, this guy gets anymore love, I’m gonna get pregnant!

Is this the face of a man who doesn’t get LOVE?

He broke the mold and he needs LOVE? Google needs to fix its search engine. This is not a man that has NEED OF LOVE. Trust me, There are more people wanting to “love” him than I can count.

imageimage

Oh, I need love, but Lee, not in a million years..he will leave this world so loved, he might just come back to get some more of it.
