        Q: If Ents Were In The Shire, How Could Treebeard Not Know?

        ANSWER: Earlier this year, a stunning letter by J.R.R. Tolkien came to light. In February 1966 he wrote to Jenny Hall and said:

        Thank you very much for your nice letter. I have been in most parts of Wales, but the place names I use are made up from English models or borrowed from books, though Crickhollow was actually meant to […]

              I finished the main story back in April, and finally picked the book up again a few days ago to read the last few pages of the prequel story at the end.

              A very sweet, cozy, and queer story about Viv—an orcish former swordswoman—who has given up her mercenary life to open up a coffee shop. And the friends she makes along the way.

              Kind of Pratchetty in style, but a bit light on character descriptions.

              The cover of the novel "Legends & Lattes" by Travis Baldree. Features Viv—a muscular, light-green orc woman—and Tandri—a pink/magenta-skinned succubus with forehead horns, short hair, and east Asian features—standing behind the counter in a coffee shop with pastries visible in the foreground.

                        Quasit's Daily Book Recommendations: "Lord Valentine's Castle" (1980) by Robert Silverberg

                        Age Range: Adult
                        Genre: Science Fiction/Science Fantasy

                        I was never a fan of Robert Silverberg's writing. I didn't •hate• him; it's just that most his writing didn't particularly work for me, particularly his novels.

                        So I don't actually remember why I gave "Lord Valentine's Castle" a try. But I'm very glad I did. It's an outstanding work of science fantasy.

                        Valentine wakes up one day on a hillside with very little memory of who he is and where he comes from. The planet he's on is remarkable; enormous, with a corresponding lack of heavy elements that results in Earthlike gravity. The world is VERY rich, filled with a large number of alien species and with a vast, ancient history.

                        Here Silverberg's talent and experience really come into focus: this world is no pale copy of Earth with a few quirks throw in for "alien" color. Majipoor is a deep, rich world that really FEELS alien. Plants, animals, even the cultures Valentine encounters come to life in a really enthralling way.

                        Not that the plot is neglected! Valentine makes friends and discovers that he's somehow entangled in a worldwide plot that ties into the government of Majipoor itself–a government that's like nothing ever seen in Earth's history, involving unimaginable technology and customs. After all, how many heads of government work through dreams?

                        [The road to Pidruid led along the high ridge for more than a mile, then began sudden sharp switchbacks down into the coastal plain. Valentine let the boy do most of the talking as they made the descent. Shanamir came, he said, from a district two and a half days’ journey inland, to the northeast; there he and his brothers and his father raised mounts for sale at Pidruid market, and turned a good living at it; he was thirteen years old, and had a high opinion of himself; he had never been outside the province of which Pidruid was the capital, but someday he meant to go abroad, to travel everywhere on Majipoor, to make the pilgrimage to the Isle of Sleep and kneel before the Lady, to cross the Inner Sea to Alhanroel and achieve the ascent of Castle Mount, even to go down south, maybe, beyond the steaming tropics, into the burnt and barren domain of the King of Dreams, for what was the use of being alive and healthy on a world as full of wonders as Majipoor if you did not journey hither and thither about on it?]

                        This is the first book of a series, which is what I hoped for when I first read it. Much of the series is excellent. It just goes to show that even an old SF writer can learn new tricks.

                        The book is available physically, as well as in ebook and audiobook formats. Unfortunately it ISN'T available to borrow from the Internet Archive unless you have disabilities. But there's a good chance that you can borrow it from your local library. It's well worth the effort.

                        Happy reading! 🤓📖

It's too hot for anything serious, so we're in the vicinity of Preston with SFF-comedy writer G.J. Dunn who says he's mostly writing to make himself laugh.

                                                    Chapter 1: The Art of the Tactical Escape

                                                    Welcome back, Charmy’s Army fans! In today’s hilarious new comic strip, we hit the dusty trails “Somewhere in the Old West” to check in on everyone’s favorite squinting frontier hero, Gooser Dadburn. Bellied up to the counter at the local Coffee Saloon, Gooser is rocking a brand-new look: a rugged, mysterious black eyepatch. When his shocked companions immediately assume he survived a legendary, high-stakes knife fight, Gooser tries to play it cool. Unfortunately, the truth comes out: he actually ran face-first into a wall. While his buddies call it “running away,” Gooser firmly defends his dignity, declaring, “I prefer ‘escaping’!” But what exactly happened before that wall jumped out and caught him by surprise? Grab your coffee, because Gooser is about to recount the wildest yarn this side of the territories.

                                                    “Look, it wasn’t just any ordinary wall, and it wasn’t just a simple mistake,” Gooser muttered, leaning over his steaming mug as his brilliant blue eye flashed with dramatic intensity under the saloon lights. He adjusted the brim of his cowboy hat, ensuring it covered his bald head just right, and slammed his hand on the counter. “You two weren’t there. You didn’t see the sheer magnitude of the lawless, multi-blade pandemonium I was dealing with. It was a certified wild west adventure gone completely off the rails!”

                                                    His companions leaned in, half-skeptical but completely hooked. Gooser took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and transported them back to the fateful night at the Black Rock Outpost just three nights ago.

                                                    “There I was,” Gooser began, his voice dropping to a theatrical whisper. “Mind ing my own business, enjoying a nice, peaceful game of high-stakes checkers in the back room of the outpost. Suddenly, the doors burst open. In walks the Texas Toothpick Gang—the meanest, ugliest bunch of outlaws to ever lace up deep-treaded riding boots. Their leader, a guy they call ‘Scurvy Sid,’ sneers at me. He didn’t want a friendly game. He wanted trouble. Before I could even yell ‘Holy Macca Noodle,’ three-inch steel blades were flashing in the candlelight. It was a classic wild west mystery why they picked a fight with me, but I didn’t have time to ask questions.”

                                                    Gooser gestured wildly with his hands, mimicking the slicing of knives in the air. “Sid lunges at me! Whoosh! The blade misses my nose by a fraction of an inch, slicing clean through the checkerboard. Now, a lesser man would have panicked. But a true frontier hero knows how to improvise. I grabbed the only weapon at my disposal: a half-eaten plate of stale sourdough biscuits. I hurled them with deadly accuracy. Thwack! Thwack! Right in the eyes of his two henchmen! They were temporarily blinded by carbs, giving me precious seconds to formulate a strategic counter-attack.”

                                                    The saloon listeners chuckled, but Gooser didn’t break character. He was fully invested in his tale of true grit and survival.

                                                    “But Scurvy Sid wasn’t done,” Gooser continued, his eyes widening. “He spun around, swinging his bowie knife in a terrifying arc. I did a backflip over the poker table—well, it was more of a backwards tumble where my spurs caught the velvet cloth, causing the entire table to flip over and pin Sid against the bar. It was pure tactical genius! Bottles of sarsaparilla were crashing, cards were flying through the air like confetti, and the henchmen were blindly swinging their knives, cutting up the curtains. The whole room was enveloped in a whirlwind of dust and flying cutlery.”

                                                    Gooser paused to take a dramatic sip of his coffee, letting the suspense build.

                                                    “With the entire gang disoriented by my improvised defense, I realized that sticking around would mean doling out an unfair amount of punishment. I decided to grant them mercy. It was time to execute a flawless, high-speed ‘escape.’ I bolted for the back exit. I was moving like lightning, dodging flying stools and stray daggers. I leaped through the back door into the pitch-black alleyway, executing a perfect superhero landing in the dirt.”

                                                    “And that’s when you fought your way out?” his friend asked, grinning.

                                                    “Exactly!” Gooser shouted, pointing a finger. “Well… almost. You see, the alleyway was completely unlit. And as I turned the corner at a cool thirty miles an hour to lose my pursuers, a solid, unmoving, poorly placed adobe brick wall completely ambushed me! It didn’t telegraph its movement at all. BAM! Right into the left side of my face. I saw stars, stripes, and several constellations that haven’t even been discovered yet. The wall won that round, I’ll admit it. But did the Texas Toothpick Gang catch me? No! Because by the time I woke up in the dirt with a swollen eye and a severe dent in my pride, they had already fled the territory, terrified of the man who fights with sourdough and tackles brick walls!”

                                                    Gooser leaned back, crossing his arms triumphantly, completely satisfied with his defense. “So you see, it was a knife fight. I fought the knives, the knives lost to the table, and I simply had a brief, unexpected disagreement with a structural support. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.”

                                                    His friends burst into laughter, shaking their heads at the sheer absurdity of Gooser’s legendary comic strip storytelling. But as the laughter echoed through the Coffee Saloon, Gooser caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror behind the bar. He smiled, adjusting his patch. Out here on the frontier, a little bit of chaos was just part of the job.
