Maps and Legends
Kaitlin is a newly single freelance artist who is stuck in the rut of the well-paying, for-hire covers and maps she creates for fat fantasy novels. But at night, driven by some strange compulsion, Kait has been working long hours on an intricate, mixed-media map of a place she's never been, a map that covers all four walls of the window-less spare room she keeps locked next to her tiny bedroom. She's not sure where the inspiration for the map comes from, but she can't seem to help herself. One snowy winter's day, Kait is visited by a disheveled man named Bartamus who claims to be from another world. He needs her to finish a map of his dying world so he can use his skills to save it. He doesn't need someone with the ability to create a map from a satellite image or GPS data; he needs someone like Kaitlin, who he calls a true "world artist." For Kait, things like this happen in the books she illustrates so often, she feels like she knows what will happen next, but she couldn't be more wrong. Maps and Legends will come out from Prime Books in 2009. While you're waiting for the book (and for more content for this page!), you can:
