Sarah has spent her life immersed in literature, narrative, and film.

After a degree in English at Dartmouth she worked in film production in NYC. She earned a Ph.D. from an interdisciplinary program at Stanford University, joining the Film Department of Vassar College in 1988. In 2009 she was awarded the William R. Kenan Jr. Endowed Chair.

In 2012, while teaching a senior seminar on American Women Directors, she realized that neither the books nor films of Lord of the Rings could pass the Bechdel Test. That summer, she grabbed her laptop and started imagining a world that awaited the return of the queen.

Concerning: Notes on The Cerulean Queen

This is the last of a series of commentaries revealing my allusions and intentions in a volume of The Nine Realms. Spoilers ahead. Also, I hope, insights.

In the very first draft of the series, I didn’t know that I was going to write this final book. Generally, the prince or princess succeeds in gaining the throne—time for rejoicing. But I realized that changing leaders and repairing the past was h

I rarely write reviews. Of course I have my likes and dislikes, but I rarely feel entitled to opine on an author's years of work.

I picked this up out of the blue, merely because my library web site suggested it to me.

I was floored by it.

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
Robert Frost

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.”
Allen Saunders
