Noelle
Noelle asked Rin Chupeco:

The moment when you're on page 261 of The Heart Forger and you realize that "Tea" is not pronounced the same way that the herbal drink is haha! Was this something I should have picked up earlier, or am I just too caught up in my tea-drinking ways?

Rin Chupeco I wished I'd mentioned it much earlier, actually! I have friends named Tea that were pronounced "Tey-uh" and it never actually occurred to me until much later that people would have a harder time of it!

I enjoyed learning about the Japanese folklore in The Girl From The Well will any or all your books have some sort of Japanese culture within them? It was very neat to include actually facts and actually info from the Japanese folklore Okiku and make it your own.
