Spoiler-Free Map:
A funny story about Titan Mage: When I began writing the series, I’d only expected it to run for five books.
To make it easier to write – i.e. so I had the flexibility to send the characters wherever I wanted without having to keep up with specific details – I didn’t work from a world map. Rather, I described locations in very vague terms, often not even describing what direction the Blue Heron flew in to get to those locations.
So you can imagine my surprise when 1) Titan Mage not only took off beyond my wildest dreams, and 2) by far, my most common reader request was … a world map.
Problem was … since I didn’t work from a world map, there was nothing to share.
However, I do like to give my readers what they ask for.
So I proceeded to re-read the entire series (including novellas and short stories), taking note of every location to which I sent the characters and arranging them on sticky notes until I had a series-accurate map. Given that I often didn’t specify what directions Locke and company took, you can imagine how interesting an experience this was. 😂 Especially when a throwaway detail in Book 5 moved Mount Driver a few hundred miles northeast of where it was supposed to be. 😬 (Oops!)
Fortunately, a few very minor sentence tweaks fixed that problem, so now the current version of the series should be fully consistent with the resulting map. 😜
At the top of this page is the map that appears in Titan Mage: The Complete Crystal Moon Arc. This is a zoomed-in, modified version of the overall map, because the overall map is HUGE and also contains spoilers for later books in the series.
If you’d like to see the full map and some select zooms, though, scroll on down! 😄

Complete Map w/ Fog of War for undefined locations:
Several locations that are mentioned but not visited in the series leave lots of space between the main setting and those regions.
It made for a clunky map when un-zoomed … but it leaves plenty of room for me to put new places while I develop subsequent series. That said, since there is such a huge space that was left un-detailed in the series, I opted to put a “fog of war” over it, video game-style. These areas will be updated/uncovered as I write future novels and define more of the setting.
