About

I’m a botanist and ethnobotanist based in the UK, fascinated by plants real and imagined and the stories they can tell. I’ve loved Tolkien since I was 10, and promptly discovered that fantasy worlds are just a nicer place to hang out than the real world. I also write about queer Tolkien stuff and help run an online Tolkien community.

When not Tolkien-ing or plants-ing, I study taxonomy, drink tea, and do cross-stitch. Though, to be honest, I tend to try and multi-task, so you can be guaranteed I’m doing at least one of those things at any given moment, if not more.
