Tolkien Studies 8, and a new Blog on Tolkien and Fantasy

Tolkien Studies volume 8 has gone to the printer.  The contents of the new issue can be viewed at my new blog Tolkien and Fantasy, which I've started in order to post news and musings about more modern and familiar writers. I will continue to contribute to Wormwoodiana as in the past, but I have also felt the need for a different forum for posts on more modern writers. Thus the new blog.
