The map I created for the upcoming novel, Hope and Red, by Jon Skovron has been released by the author.

I didn't get to read the book, but the world was described as one of a sea empire, with a historical equivalent of New York in the 1800s. Jon provided several maps from the time period he was referencing for me to be inspired by. The kraken in the upper right, was originally created for a map I did for Masters of Malt. But since there's a Rum out there that uses the kraken for it's logo, I moved him over to this map, as Jon decided he needed a kraken in his map.

My friends at Orbit say it's a really fun read, so I'm looking forward to getting my copy when it's out.
