Aww, thank you! You too!

Maybe? I know he helped his son edit the unpublished backstory stuff, so he was deeply involved with Tolkien stuff.

He makes me guess too much which historical event he's writing and then gets it historically wrong which annoys me.

Haha, yeah, you should probably avoid him then! He's using history as a launching-off point for a "what could have been," not trying to write historical fiction! I can see how that would be annoying!
