Rich greens and earthy red-browns

We would like a front, back and spine for a printed book. Book size is 6x9 inches. See the back cover blurb for a story summary. Even though I want to peg Men of Earth as a metaphysical eco-feminist thriller, there’s no such genre, so it’s slotting into the existing (and currently very hot and topical) genre of paranormal women’s fiction is the next best thing. I want it to have both a magical and scientific mood, with the rational and masculine butting up against the intuitive and feminine. This means there may be for instance, font contrasts with both sans-serif and serif (and possibly extravagantly flourished) text working together. I’d love to see flowers, plants, vines and circuit boards working together with exuberant greens and earthy, textured browns. Given the title, you can either use human male forms (a single one or multiple), or not. So, it needs to be all at once magical and rational, human and mysterious – good luck with this!
