I love and adore Lord of the Rings, but Tolkien has a lot to answer for. I’m currently writing my own fantasy and like Tolkien, I’m building upon Norse mythology for my story world.

I got home a few weeks ago and found Mark vibrating with excitement. “I’ve found a new series to watch!” he declared. So I sat down to watch the first episode of The Blacklist without a clue about what it was. I hadn’t seen the series trailer. I didn’t know who was in it. It
