Lottie wishes you all a good weekend. (And wants you to play ball with her now please.)

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye. Ther ys no part of thee that evir koude be wrong.

After a grey and stormy morning, the light in my studio this afternoon is remarkable, pouring through the cabin's big windows. Lottie is curled on a blanket under my desk as I work. She's a good studio companion.

Good morning from the two of us, Charles. Lottie and I met some Dartmoor ponies on the hill behind the studio this morning.

Indeed! @ellenkushner.bsky.social and Delia Sherman, for instance, were there from the very beginning, when it was a glimmer of an idea around the Froud's dinner table. 🙂 Sending love to you and yours from Dartmoor.

Each writer in the book chose one or more images from Brian's collection of Green Women paintings, and then gave a name and a voice to each of these mysterious figures in wild and wonderful ways. Here's Brian's introduction to the volume, explaining the inspiration behind it:

Thank you to everyone posting about Brian & Wendy Froud's new book, containing 72 new paintings with literary responses by 37 women writers of diverse backgrounds, landscapes & mythic traditions. Having worked on the project for the last two years, we've all been moved by the enthusiastic response.

So excited that this book is out today! I have two pieces in here, tiny stories about Brian Froud’s Green Women. They are among work by an incredible line up of brilliant women. An honor to be part of this magical thing.

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.

My brother must’ve gotten his preorder of Brian Froud’s GREEN WOMEN early, because he texted a picture of him holding his copy. “I’m in that one!” I texted back. He wrote, “You’re in it 3X!” Thank you especially to @terriwindling.bsky.social for making this happen. THE HONOR OF A LIFETIME!

Oh no. This is very sad news indeed. He did so much for the speculative fiction field here in the UK, and will be deeply missed.
