Mrs Morrison's Hotel: September 2010

About Me

Location: New York, New York, United States

I was born..no, wait, sorry, that's "David Copperfield". Anyway, I was born in Brooklyn, grew up on Long Island, went to school in upstate NY and came straight back to Manhattan to live. Never lived anywhere else. Never wanted to. Got a job as a rock journalist, in the course of which I met and married a rock star (yeah, yeah, conflict of interest, who cares). Became a priestess in a Celtic Pagan tradition, and (based on sheer longevity) one of the most senior Witches around. Began writing my Keltiad series. Wrote a memoir of my time with my beloved consort (Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison). See Favorite Books below for a big announcement...The Rennie Stride Mysteries. "There is no trick or cunning, no art or recipe, by which you can have in your writing that which you do not possess in yourself." ---Walt Whitman (Also @ pkmorrison.livejournal.com and www.myspace.com/hermajestythelizardqueen)

The Road Goes Ever On and On...

Right now on my Facebook fan page, I'm having an online reading of "The Lord of the Rings". I assign a couple of chapters every two or three days, and then we talk about it in posts. Everyone here is welcome to join in: we're only up to Chapters Two and Three, the assignment for this weekend, to be discussed on Monday, so you can easily catch up.

We just started on September 22, Bilbo and Frodo's birthday: I reread the book every fall and spring, and it occurred to me that it would be nice to do it in company this time...
