Perfect! I love the maps that lead me into your stories. Now, if only there was also a way of having a ‘scratch and sniff’ panel somewhere, and the flavour would be complete! When I re-read The Game, I am frequently drawn to the map – it’s integral to the book!

(Find an old Malcolm Saville ”Lone Pine” book from the 40s/50s – all of these have maps to show where the children have their adventures, and it coloured my viewpoint for years!!!)

Lovely! I love maps in fiction. It reminds me of some of the old mysteries I read such as the Dell Map Back books, Nancy Drew and others. Thank you for great books and a flash of the past.

Love the map. They help me to put things into perspective in my mind while I am reading. Thank-you for thinking of it, so I don’t have google them in the middle of my reading time

Definitely thumbs up on the cartographic skills. Maps do add value to those trying to visualize locales. The artistic additions of boots/specs, cat etc well in the tradition of dragons. Appreciate the high standards & thoroughness of all you do.

Gorgeous was the first word that first came to mind, but that has already been used to describe your creation. It is a work of art, and your ability to pull such a creation together by tapping the talents of others is sheer genius. Your list of accomplishments is long and varied, given your love for maps, adding cartographer seems just right, and your readers, as always, will benefit from your attention to detail and determination to present the best book possible. Congratulations.

Beautiful, I so love maps in books. Takes me back to being 10 and looking at a buried treasure book in a book.

Probably turned out better than if you had left it up to the publisher.

Can’t wait for the book to come out.

I am hopeless and clueless with maps. I really cannot resolve them. But the sketch of Russell’s boots, glasses and ring (have we had her wedding ring described before?) made me swoon.
