Tolkien slept here

"Biographer Joseph Pearce says the famous South African poet Roy Campbell saw the Spanish Civil War as a religious conflict between Christianity and atheistic modernism.

In a recent interview with CNA, Pearce said Campbell – who was the inspiration behind the character Aragorn in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings – believes 'the war in Spain was a battle between Christian tradition and atheistic modernism. In other words, he saw it as a religious conflict.'"

I've left Campbell out of my book as I decided that meeting was a bit late to really be an inspiration. Others obviously think differently!

Also, I took the same view as Jason!

I should receive a decision within the week. The plan is for a launch the week before ROTR because Ted would be able to attend but nothing's definite at the moment.
