I've sat in the Green Dragon pub at Hobbiton though, and drank beer there.
But I'd like to go to the fictional world I created myself in my Dolphin Melody story - the planet Aerdluth, where even the wind talks to you. I would sit by one of the nectar lakes and drink nectar, while watching the wind-riders skimming around the silver mountainsides and dancing across the skies.

Tui Allen added a status update: Thanks to all who entered the giveaway of my latest novel Dolphin Melody. I hope the winners are enjoying the story. I hope it helps you all to better understand Ocean Mind and why we need to value it. I also hope you enjoy the tale and the characters I have created to inhabit it. I believe there is already quite a fan club for my human character, Roreka. Everyone seems to love him. Hope you do too.

and down the ages long.”

“Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship,
Yet she sailed softly too:
Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze -
On me alone it blew.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Jo Marshall

“If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.”
Lillian Hellman

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
