Well, Rosemary and Rue has been on bookstore shelves for a month, and that means it's time for me to split off the Toby Daye FAQ into its own page. What questions would you like to see answered? I'm dividing them roughly, for now, into "series" (IE, publication dates, number of books, typos), "world" (Toby's world), and per-book, but this could change.
Please expect mild spoilers in the comments on this thread, with the stress being on mild. I won't answer FAQ questions that read like "on page 189 you say, but on page 317...," since that's way too much of a spoiler for a publicly-accessible website.
- Is there any correspondence between a region's folklore and the fae that live there? Most of the fairies living around your San Francisco seem to be things talked about in British or Irish folklore, with a few exceptions (the kitsune, for example), and obey most of those rules (for example, vulnerability to iron).
That's interesting...until now I hadn't noticed that there seems to be a recapitulation of British-European colonial ascendancy in the power structure of the SF fae.
