And...?

[Kirsten]

I just mentioned it because it looked like they didn't know what state, sorry if I spoke (well typed) out of turn.

[Zaz]

It's for the map, so the country is enough when there's only one city with the name.

[Stacey]

Tales of a Korean Grandmother: 32 Traditional Tales from Korea by Frances Carpenter

Seoul, Korea

[Michelle]

Working backwards here so ... updated for:

Stacey, Zaz, Babitix, Adam. Aglaea

Babitix, it's neat that the author wrote back. I put it where she said it was based on. What is the name of the town in the book so I can add that also?

Adam, I'm guessing Port Burdock is fictional since the only mention I can find of it is in relation to the book. I put it on the coastal area.

I will finish up the rest in a bit.

Emm, I hope this is not making more work for you and I hate to complain, but...

I know you said that you had updated the map yesterday, but when I click on it, I don't see my latest books there. Plus, in the left side in red, it's still reading "...597 more" under the listing for Primary Locations - and my books are not there. That was the number stated before these books were added, by the way.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place/at the wrong map?

????

[Michelle]

I'll look into that, Stacey. I need to go back and re-add some things and maybe yours is among them. Once I do that I can double check and make sure your books are there.

[Stacey]

Thanks again! ;))

[Peter]

Primary: World of Thesa (fantasy)

Stacey, not at all. There are some days when I have to play extra catch up but as long as you're all patient with me it's not really a bother. And I love to see it coming together. ;D

I'm not sure if this question has come-up before but how do I access the map? I tried the link but google said I wasn't authorized to view the site. I have a google account using my business email but not a personal account. Should I just create a personal google account?
