The Map!!

6/18/2014

I finally got word that I can share! And just let me say, I've been swooning for weeks over this map!  It's in the final book, and it is simply gorgeous.

It's drawn by the amazing artist, Keith Thompson, who also created the maps for Scott Westerfield's Leviathan series, and Leigh Bardugo's Grisha series.  I was awestruck through all the initial sketches and the final just blew me away.

Poster! One side is the cover and the other the map!

Besides being on the inside cover of the book, the Macmillan designers created a beautiful 16X20 inch poster of it.  The Kiss of Deception cover is on one side and the map is on the other. I'm going to frame both sides and hang them in my office!

And . . .
Mysterious Galaxy, my local indie here in San Diego, is taking preorders where you can get a signed, personalized copy of The Kiss of Deception--PLUS they will include this 16X20 poster! Win-win! So if you want the poster too, get yourself hither over to their site!

I can't wait for you to see the final book with the map inside.
I want to hug all the designers for all their attention to the smallest details. I hope you love it as much as I do.

XO

LOVE... It has that old world appeal! From reading the five chapter sampler, I was wondering if there was going to be a map. The fact the map is on the back cover is clever. I've never seen one placed there before. That placement will make it easier to follow their journey as you read since you won't have to keep turning the pages back and forth.
Question: When we preorder, do we need to send proof of purchase for the bonus content or is that just something extra if enough preorders happen?

Joanna, the map is on the inside cover of the book in the front AND in the back.

As of right now I think you can only get the Old World Map/Poster from Mysterious Galaxy bookstore if you preorder from them. (See link in post) The added bonus of ordering from them is I will also sign and personalize.
If my publisher should offer bonus content with proof of purchase, I will be sure to post the details here!

I see now. That's cool too. Dopey me didn't look close enough, only saw the big picture, missed the book in the corner.

Gorgeous map! Keith Thompson is an amazing artist.
I love when fantasy books have maps. I sound like a complete nerd saying that and I'm not ashamed :-)

Then I'm a nerd too, Petra, and proud of it, because I adore maps! I always make my own when I am writing a book just to keep places straight, but of course they are scribbles on notebook paper--nothing so lovely as this!
