My map is for Kresley Cole: http://www.literature-map.com/kresley...

I have to say I struggled a bit with the authors on my map as for some I have already read all of the books and others I didn't really see the connection that strongly. Having said that I am willing to try authors I might not have had on the top of my pile in the name of a challenge so here are my ten.

Completed: 3 of 10

1. Gena Showalter: The Darkest Night
2. MaryJanice Davidson: Undead and Unwed
3. Nalini Singh: Hostage to Pleasure ***
4. Katie Macalister: Playing with Fire
5. Meljean Brook: The Iron Duke
6. Kerrelyn Sparks: How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire
7. Lora Leigh: Tempting the Beast
8. Amy Lane: Truth in the Dark ****
9. Lynsay Sands: A Quick Bite **
10. Sherrilyn Kenyon: Born of the Night

I'll try to work the thing again but I don't know how if u could help a little it would be great.

Hi Juana, I write down your list and start playing with the authors you have in it and the literature map the seems you used before was Chistine Fehaan. Here is the link so you can put it in your post.

Juana wrote: "I just did it agian and got different answers but thanks for the help anyways Lory. :)"

How could that be possible?? I double check it and check it now to see and if you hit the link it going to show you all the authors you select. UHmmm let me try it one more time...

Did it again and all your authors are there :0/ I don't know why is giving you a different answer. Sorry is not working, I try to help you

Juana wrote: "I just did it agian and got different answers but thanks for the help anyways Lory. :)"

Juana, I wonder if your browser is having problems with displaying the map. Try using a different browser. I use Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and they're both showing it just fine. When you first open the link the names will rotate and move around a bit - just give them a moment to settle.

And remember, clicking on any of the names will then create a new map with the new name in the center - you can tell which name is being centered by looking at the link in the browser bar.

Hopefully this will help you out.
