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.
At this point, it's actually been asked enough to make me want to cry. The single thing people want to make sure I know about my book is that I screwed up the pronunciation guide. :(
I fixed it for the ALH guide, but I can't exactly go around the world and use correction fluid on all the other copies out there.
Oh dear. The single thing I want to be sure you know about your book is that I want more. Plenty of fantasy novels out there reduce faerie to two or three races; you include most of the ones I've heard of in other places and several I'd never seen before at all. And they mostly have Celtic names whose spelling makes my head hurt; the pronunciation guide was a good idea. I referred to it several times while I read.
