I was introduced to Middle-earth as a small girl when my father scared the crap outta me and my sibs by reading The Hobbit. Years later the only thing I remembered of the story as I read it for myself was the scene under the mountain with Gollum. And he keeps popping up on me such as when I fell asleep listening to the BBC radio version and woke up to him shrieking.

Gollum does not appear in my stories! But Eomer does. I just love those Horse Lords! So far, the only "complete" works I have are a series of drabbles called Cameos available at ff.net. I'm working on several short stories/one-shots at the moment and possibly something with chapters. ;)

I've read The Silmarillion and LotR, but my focus will be on the latter. I'm trudging through UT and anything else Christopher T. edited in order to build the universe. I just printed off a bunch of maps for myself because I GET LOST. I totally thought the Harlond and Anduin were on the other side of Minas Tirith. Rammas Echor? Pfft! It's not even there, is it?

Of special note, I have a tendency to not finish what I start. I'm hoping that will be cured and that my writer's integrity can be restored. I have some original poetry published and an original novel that will have to be discovered posthumously.

My pen name comes from two characters that I felt sorry for, Medea of Greek mythology and Smike from a Dickens novel (I swapped a y). If I ever have kids I should be careful of whom I'm feeling sorry for.

I'm an almost-librarian, meaning that I work in the library doing everything a librarian does, but I need my masters degree before I get the title.
