No special October Prime Days deals on my book, and as far as I know, no free shipping, but if you buy it from this bookstore, you’re supporting a great local retailer and a first-time author whose book has a 4-star rating on Goodreads: vromansbookstore.com/book/9789198...

Into the Great

Sparks fly when Lilah, a thief from a colony outside the borders of the Federated Solar Republic, meets Bax, an FSR security officer at a colony within those borders, during a time of heightened tensions for humanity as the silent, staring, seemingly invulnerable aliens dubbed The Aureum begin to meddle in human affairs.

About the book:
The long-awaited new book—with gorgeous, all-new art—by Brian Froud, the "grandfather of faerie art"

In this compelling collection, acclaimed women writers from around the world share words and stories of fantasy and myth alongside Brian Froud's provocative portraits of more than 70 Green Women. There are a range of voices, some humorous and witty, others nurturing and maternal, others dark and threatening.

New York Times bestselling and award-winning artist Brian Froud, who brought to life Trolls and Faeries, is also beloved for his conceptual design work with Jim Henson on the classic films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. With Green Women, his gorgeous art illuminates an entirely new universe.

Open the pages of this gorgeous gift-ready book to meet the Green Women.

"While the Green Men peer down from their church roof bosses, and through their tendrils of oak and ivy, the Green Women move among us. Brian Froud has met more than a few of them. It's their eyes—deep wells of wisdom, stories and the slow, ancient song of the forest." —Alan Lee, artist and concept designer of the film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit

It was a honour to help Brian & Wendy Froud (artists, folklorists, and the puppet film designers behind The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) to turn their vision for this book into reality. Happy Book Publication Day to both of them, and to all the brilliant women writers who contributed to the volume.

Photograph: A copy of "Brian Froud's Green Women" sits on a background of moss. The book contains "provocative portraits from the grandfather of faerie art Brian Froud," along with "words and stories of fantasy and myth from acclaimed women writers around the world." The book's publication day is October 6. Publisher: Abrams Books, New York.
