The Man of the West welcomes acclaimed Tolkien artist Emily Austin to the TTT to talk inspiration and illustration. Also, we chat about her cover art for Shawn & Alan’s new book, Why We Love Middle-earth, and get a sneak peek at a work in progress.

February

Left to right behind table: Alan Sisto, Shawn E. Marchese and Katie McKenna

Alan and Shawn started the Prancing Pony Podcast many years ago to share their love of Middle-earth, and now have a book coming out as well. Tolkien fans just starting out, and fans who have been reading since the 1930s will find something to enjoy. Listen to Shawn and Alan give a brief introduction to their book, available from most major booksellers in the coming weeks.
