2006 Author Reviews for
Linda Hoyland

Linda Hoyland has a gift for writing heart-warming, canon-friendly stories. Her favorite characters, Aragorn and Faramir, are written as two men who have finally found peace and prosperity and develop a close friendship with each other, of the sort that Tolkien would have doubtless approved and probably intended - definitely not slash. She also employs excellent research skills to enrich the ambiance in her tales, as seen by the bits of Celtic and Viking folklore in the observance of Yule customs in [At The Rising of the Moon].

Linda describes Fourth Age Gondor in a really light way. It\'s really nice to imagine Aragorn, Arwen, Faramir, and Eowyn getting on in peacetime like this, after the war.

Linda Hoyland\'s stories of Aragorn and Faramir are full of a great deal of love between the two Men as well as angst. She often adds in touches from British royal traditions, additions which enhance the feelings of reality in her tales. It\'s always a pleasure reading a new tale she\'s written.

Linda Hoyland really knows how to tell an enjoyable story! She has Aragorn and Faramir down pat, and all of her other characters come to life.
