Ema-Leigh Stafford asked Amanda Hocking:

How'd you come up with the terms in the books?

Amanda Hocking It varies from series to series, but I usually try to base the terminology on the folklore that inspired it. For example, the Trylle and Kanin series were based on Scandinavian mythology, so I used a lot of Swedish terms. :)
