ABOUT

My name is Jeremy Bullard, the author of the Facets of Reality book series -- Gemworld, Fractures, and the forthcoming novel, Prism. They follow the adventures of James "Sal" Salvatori, a former US Navy SEAL who finds himself transported from our world to a world of magic, one that is held tightly in the grip of an undying ruler known only as the Highest. Without friends or any knowledge of the world he finds himself in -- and with no clue on how he might get home -- he falls in with a band of rebels intent on freeing the land from tyranny.

These books were my first published creations... and also my entrance into cartography. I'll admit, I would never have considered mapmaking as an enjoyable pastime -- let alone a marketable service -- had it not been for the world that I'd created in Gemworld.

As with any author, my worldbuilding had as much to do with the shape of the world, Te'ra, as it did its contents. The longer I spent in Te'ra, the more I wondered what it looked like outside of my own mind. While I could see the world in its entirety, I knew my readers didn't have that luxury. They could only see as much of the world as I had revealed to them, and that kind of visualization has very little shelf-life.

In short, they needed a map. Of course, me being the quintessential cheapskate, I didn't have the money to commission a real cartographer to make me a fantasy map, so I decided to do it myself. These maps, and this web page, are the result of my efforts.

The portfolio you see is an ever-growing compilation of maps that I made both of Te'ra and from commissions I've taken. Feel free to browse, and if you find my style to your liking, you can find the link to my contact information below.
