I was asked by Bloomsbury to make a map of the town invented for The Coward's Tale - and to help myself orientate everything, I put in all the main characters - expecting Bloomsbury to take them out and just make an ordinary map. Instead, they liked the idea and left all the characters in, surrounded by beautiful illustrations that echo the book's cover.
Then they asked for a line or two for each character... so I thought - ah! Wouldn't it be fun if...and then wouldn't it be even more fun if there was music? Now what music should it be??
The Coward now has a Musical interactive Map!
The Amazing Musical Map is waiting to be opened, listened to - and there might be something else - characters hidden, waiting to speak... To find the Map turn on thy speakers, put on they wellies, grab a brollie and get thee to The Coward's Journey Blog, HERE
and follow the directions...
The Coward's Journey has recorded every step in the process of getting this novel ready for publication - since acceptance. All about working with Bloomsbury, the editing processes, copyediting, writing catalogue copy, writing acknowledgements - and all the rest. This is a very exciting bit!
Why is my map not going musical? Though I must say the map is impressive itself. Also like the blurbs, enticing!
ReplyDeleteCos its not here! Follow the instructions with wellies on, and you'll find it!

V, this gets better and better and better. The map is genius and your little statements from the characters are incredibly evocative. And now I'll have that haunting music in my head all day :-) You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh bless you Sue!
