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.
1. What's the significance of rosemary and rue? There's the suggestion that it's a bouquet put on the graves of dead friends, but is there more to it?
2. Would you please include the pronunciation guide in the online FAQ? Also, since most of the terms in the guide refer to various mythological creatures, I'd like to see an explanatory sentence or two to go with the pronunciation.
3. Do the rules for the Changeling's Choice only apply to changelings whose fae parent came out of a northwestern European tradition? Or is it the same for the children of mortals and fae from all over the Earth?
