Novelist looking for a cartographer

[David Friedman]

I am a not very successful novelists, as well as several other mostly irrelevant things. My first novel (Harald, published by Baen) had a lovely map in it, in a Tolkienish style. My second (Salamander, self published) had no maps but probably should have had at least one. For the third, a sequel to the second, I want three maps, and have put up a post looking for an artist.

Other things of possible interest to people here. I have fairly serious recreational medieval interests, but since they are largely in medieval cooking and telling medieval stories I'm not sure they have much relevance to map making. I also know a good deal about medieval jewelry and have a lot of pictures, which I suppose could be used to ornament a map. I'm an academic economist, recently retired, which I suppose might be of some use to map makers—my first econ journal article was a theory of the size and shape of nations, and testing the theory involved a good deal of use of historical atlases.

While I hope I could be helpful to others, I'm here mainly looking for someone to draws maps for me.
