      Well, they’re not your garden-variety sorts. Two out of five is pretty good!

    This post is such an enlightment, now I get clearer picture of a couple of things on The Druid Next Door. Plus, I just love it when a spectacled nerd becomes a hero in a story! 🙂
    Congrats on the new release, EJ.

    The information on Celtic Fae is wonderful; this book is on my wishlist and it’s moved close to the top now.

      I know! It’s so different from the classical Greek or Roman–or even Norse–because so little of it survived the incursions of later conquerors or religions. Of course, that’s what makes it fun to make up stuff around the edges!

    Congrats on the new book. Nerd to hero is always a good thing. The Fae list you gave was very interesting.

    I’m aware of the Red Caps as they appear regularly in Laurell K. Hamilton’s Merry Gentry series. However I’ve not heard of the others so thanks for the enlightening post. And I love these covers!

      Thank you, Lisa! The covers are by the amazing Lou Harper. I confess to not reading Laurell Hamilton, but my first exposure to redcaps was in Emma Bull’s War for the Oaks. Nasty little critturs!

    Thank you for such an interesting post. I must recognise I had no idea… My own concept of Fae was so different. It comes from reading Irish Folk-tales, you know, all those Tuatha de Dannan stories…
    Congratulations on the release. It is already in my TBR list

    I knew of the redcaps and the bean-nighe but the most interesting creature to me has to be the Gwargedd Annwn. WHY would anyone want to lose that dowry is beyond me. This is an amazing post!

    Congrats, E.J., and thanks for the weird fae – yeah, never heard of them, but intriguing. This sounds like a great series. I love fantasy and fae, and to put them in a modern setting with all that entails will be a joy to read about. – Purple Reader,

    Another gorgeous cover! I really can’t wait to read these books. Thanks so much for sharing the blurb and bio. My eldest son lives in Oregon near Portland.
