Maybe you should encourage friends who like SF with a touch of political intrigue and romance to give it a try? (Not TMI either -- these were back when the SF audience was assumed to be mostly male, so I had to be careful there wasn't too much girl stuff in it. I slipped lots of characterization in, though!)

Yes! The original map is in there, with a new one of the HIDDEN FIRES map to show the desert Livia and her family cross. It's a line map, so you can see what I drew for myself.

Now, go work off some of that energy writing a happy review over at Amazon! ;^)
