About me
Lauren Brand was introduced to The Lord of the Rings through the Bakshi / Zaentz movie and unsuccessfully attempted to read the Silmarillion in her first year of high school as the Lord of the Rings was out on loan from the library. Finally, she devoured The Lord of the Rings in a week-long-nocturnal-under-the-sheets-with-a-torch reading marathon aged 12 and her love of Tolkien’s works has grown ever since. She is an active member of Hern Ennorath, the Australian smial of the Tolkien Society.
