Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is with great pride and excitement that I announce the official release
of my New novel, A RED DARK NIGHT!

What's it about? Well, I suggest going to www.apfuchs.com and clicking on
the Story Button on the main page. Why? Because it beats typing it in an
email. Black text on a white background isn't particularly exciting, you
know. No, really, it isn't. *grin*

A RED DARK NIGHT is a tribute to the heart of horror and to the hearts of
those like yourselves who love the darkness. I wanted to bring to the page
something you'd all find familiar in terms of that classic "horror"
atmosphere, those same "oohs" and "ahhs" we got while watching Friday the
13th for the first time. And, as you know, when writing a book, it takes on
a life of its own. So did A RED DARK NIGHT, and the path it took was
something I never expected when I sat down to write it. Far from it.

Stop on by www.apfuchs.com and join in the celebration of the release of A
RED DARK NIGHT!

Thanks for supporting me, educating me, encouranging me for the past couple
of years (especially since my first book's release). You have no idea how
much my friendships with you mean, and each of you is special to me.

Enjoy my story. Thank you.

From the other side,

A.P. Fuchs

Keith and I have something on the backburner. I'm just trying to find the
time to pull my weight. Looks like it'll be relatively soon though.

So, yeah, I'd like to work with Keith. Why? No clue.

Del,

Never quite saw horror in that aspect before.

Monster, demons, vampires, none of the above can realistically compare to the
nightmares going on in our world today.

Definitely something to think about.

Monica

Hopefully, I'll have something for you by then.

Del,

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only nut who didn't get some aspects of
"LOTR: The return of the King" It did lack the internal cohesiveness of the
first two volumes.

Did you, or anyone happen to understand why Frodo was getting on that boat with
his uncle at the end?

Very curious.

Sometimes, escapist fantasy is what gets me through the day.

Frodo was done too. He endured enough adventure, so he left to live with his
uncle, and left the house to his friend!

I'm so sorry RM, maybe I'm clueless because I didn't read any of the books, but
I just didn't understand why he had to leave on the boat.

Maybe I was so upset because I expected a different ending I would have deemed
happy.

You just don't know how emotional I was by the end of the movie! Tears, and
all!!

Monica

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Monica,

I Tolkein's mythology, Tom Bombadil, the Ents, the Elves and the Wizards
came from the Gray Havens to Middle Earth to help it form, and in some
cases to guide it along.  In the end, man is left to rule Middle Earth,
while the others either return to the Gray Havens or stay and fade-away.

The Gray Havens are akin to Vahalla, Nirvana, and heaven.  The beings
who strove against evil, especially the evil of the ring of power, are
taken to the Grey Havens to spend eternity healing through happiness, as
a reward for their troubles.  Since Bilbo and Frodo were touched by the
great ring, they are take there too.  Smeagol perished in Mt. Doom.

In the books, (and after a great time) Sam Gamgee has outlived his wife
by a long period, and a ship comes back to fetch him to the Grey Havens too.

Hi everyone!  Congrats to Ron Breznay for winning the May contest and
thank you to the 74 other entries...I made it way too easy to enter!
For June, take a peek at the "news" section of my website
http://www.nancyajackson.com and send an email with the answer.  You
will win a copy of the debut issue of Corpse Magazine and if I'm
feeling generous I may throw in a bonus gift.

The contest is easy and the prize is more than worth it.  Good luck!

Nancy :)

One of the reasons you might have had a hard time following it is because
the stuff in that flick (the references to things past or how characters
came into possession of things) was referred to in the first two movies (but
only in the extended editions). If you saw the regular releases, yeah, you'd
be lost. That's the first thing I said when coming out of the theater.

I don't mean to be pedantic here, but that isn't exactly true. The
only one of the above that originated outside Middle Earth are the
Wizards, who--in the books--are akin to Angels or Demigods (At one
point Gandalf mentions "I was Olorin in the West," referring to his
time as a servant of one of the Gods, Manwe IIRC). Tom Bombadil is
also a type of demigod.

Again, this isn't exactly true. The Grey Havens is a large port city,
but the boats leave it to travel to Valinor, a place where the Elves
live among the Gods and demigods. There is a thing called the Ban of
the Valar (Gods) forbidding mortals to set foot in Valinor. However,
because Frodo and Bilbo were both Ringbearers (as were Galadriel,
Gandalf and Elrond), they have dispensation to live their lives in
Valinor. As Newton Love mentions, Valinor is a place of peace and
joy, and it is hoped that Frodo's pain will be cured there. In the
books--IIRC--Sam is told there is a place for him as well, since he
bore the Ring, even if only for a short period of time. In the
Appendices, it is noted that a legend tells that Gimili son of Gloin
joined Legolas on his trip to Valinor and was allowed to live among
the immortals at the request of Galadriel.

Then I did remember correctly. :) The part that he actually leaves,
is that in the regular narrative or part of the appendices. I seem to
recall the regular narrative ends pretty much where the movie does.

Sorry I couldn't get past how the dialogue is woven into the
paragraphs with all the action.... otherwise I've heard it's a great
book.

"Beloved"? You gotta be kidding me. Sometimes I feel like the

ruler.
