“AI BABY has compelling, complex characters and a strong story that could be less fictional than many think…I couldn’t wait to see how it turned out…Brava!”

- KAREN SMILEY, SHE WRITES AI

“AI Baby explores how far parents will go for their children in a world where intelligence can be engineered—and love may be the last thing that can’t be programmed.

A must-read . . .”

- Dana Frank, Best-Selling Author of Get Up And Get On It

ABROAD

A novel of cross-cultural encounters

Book cover for 'Across' by Greyson Bryan featuring a city street scene with pedestrians and cars, and two women on a bridge overlooking a cityscape with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Reader Favorite

“[A]n ambitious, globe-crossing narrative of interconnected lives and loves. . . . The result is a rich, often finely detailed mosaic of lives and longings, with multiple point-of-view characters and a recurring message of understanding. . . . Bryan dramatizes the ways that cultural capital can help build lifelong connections that teach us how we deal with ourselves and those outside our experience.”

Frank Atkinson is the foremost student-practitioner of Virginia politics.  And The Lion's Den reflects the world Frank has studied and lived, politics as it really is: high-minded, lowdown, deeply personal and often great fun.  Frank's a Virginia treasure and he's given the commonwealth and country a great gift with this timely novel.
