New Map for The Emperor's Edge World

I've been wanting to have maps for the Emperor's Edge books for a while now, but my artistic abilities are…well, they just aren't actually. You don't want to see how badly I can mangle a stick figure… Fortunately, EE reader and fellow indie author Jenna Elizabeth Johnson agreed to help me out. She likes to draw. She illustrated the cover art for her YA fantasy series with colored pencil and used the same style for my map.

Here's the first one we (more her than me) put together for the region where the EE stories take place:

Some of the cities and terrain in the south will be appearing in the next couple of books (EE4 has a big train adventure and there might even be some flight…).

We're also going to do a map of the capital, since lots of the adventures take place in the city, but I need to re-read the books first and make note of all the districts and landmarks mentioned (note to self: in the future, make a map as you go, even if it's ugly as sin and no one else will ever see it). I'm hoping to have both maps ready to go by April so I can include them in the next ebook.

In case any of you are looking for an artist to help you with custom maps for your world, I believe Jenna is willing to take on some commissions. You can contact her through her website.
