I know the 'professionalism' is of a low quality with this map. Honestly, I made it more for myself back in 2009, than for any kind of consumer product. But, it shows the general regions towns, and cities of the story.

Yes. This is clearly pre Ice Age Britain. Actually it's before the Ice Age before the last Ice Age.

Also, the animals are kind of cool.

You can easily drag and drop the image to your desktop for your own fun and amusement.

You can print it out, but you may not sell it, or otherwise use the image for any venture or activity that will generate you income, money, or any kind of return.

This image is solely for the private use of the individual viewer.

did you know...?

The animals all mentioned in the first book are real animals, mostly extinct.

The stauer is what we now call the Megalaceros or Irish elk (because it was found in Irish bogs, not because it was walking around Ireland).

The Auroch was a real kind of pre-domestication cattle. They went extinct rather recently, in the 14th century. Scientists are currently trying to breed them back into existence.

The dodern is the Wooly Rhinoceres. Found often in cave paintings, with the large black strip down its midsection, it went extinct before the modern era.

Wolves, Mawrdowr (sharks), and Mererbroder (dolphins) are all with us still in one form or another.

Hello!

The third and last Berand book - Chronicles of the Elf Human Wars: Berand Torler will publish on March 21, 2017!

Then a new Iounelle book!

Magic and Mathematics Book One: Ancient Science will publish on May 9, 2017

In Ancient Science Iounelle has adventures and fights evil in Ancient Egypt during the building of the Great Pyramid, tracks her nemesis to Athens, Greece just after the death of Alexander the Great, and then struggles to break the Roman blockade of Syracuse where she meets someone very unique.

and then on July 3, 2017 the first book of the Strange Saga of Ostigris - The Tiger's Mouth will be published!
Ostigris is that human with the cropped blonde hair and the broken nose that has briefly appeared in many of the novels.
A man who knows he's not in the right time wakes up with no memory of how he was attacked or by whom. As he tries to stay alive in the Roman Republic, he has to wonder if any of his Time Traveling companions has tried to kill him, and most importantly WHY.

If all goes well, you might get another Ostigris book before the end of the year - The Serpent's Venom. Let's say Dec.21, 2017 to keep me motivated.

Then in 2018 you'll get the last Ostigris book, the Eagle's Talon, (July 3, 2018?)
and the second Magic and Mathematics book - Future Sorcery. (Dec. 21, 2018?)

2019 should see the last two Magic and Mathematics books: Present Horizons, and A Cold Night in Oslo and other Unverified Gossip.

That will wrap up most of the story lines for a really awesome direction for the remaining characters publishing in 2020. But that's getting, way, way (like 200 years ;) ) ahead of things.

Along the way I'm planning to rewrite the first two Wealdland books as they are a little clunky. I was only just learning how to write!

Thanks for reading,
cheers,
