Telling stories with maps

This looks interesting.

Penguin books is working with 6 authors to tell 6 stories in 6 weeks. The first one, The 21 Steps [by Charles Cumming], is told via embedded Google Maps. Wow. What a great method of delivering stories, especially this one that follows a man around town (inspired by the classic thriller The 39 Steps).

Rowling feels “exploited”

Oh, boo-hoo. Having millions of people love something you created so much that they want to create something of their own in order to share that love with others—that must feel awful.
