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.
I actually don't find that fair at all, given the amount of weight that gets put on it. "Wow, you gave me a brick of pure chocolate coated in gold! But it had A SPECK OF DUST ON IT YOU SUCK FOREVER."
Oh, then in that case, I got nothin'; they're just assholes.

I mostly ignore pronunciation guides, ever since discovering (a) I disagree w/Anne McCaffrey about her protagonist names, and its corollary (b) it matters to nobody but me how I pronounve protag names in my head when I'm reading a book ...
Your situation is not directly the same, but does have a lot of, "Hey, tempest? That teapot is TOTES big enough for you, have a try!" If that's their biggest concern about your book, they've missed the point so far they're trying to stab themselves with the hilt, y'know?

I am so tired of that one I could weep.
