I thought I had better explain the reason why I used both spellings of faery/fairy in my book.
Someone brought the question up and I wanted you all to know that there was a method to my madness, and that my spell check hadn't gone into phonetic meltdown.
The book is set in contemporary times, it is an urban fantasy and the protag is a teen. So for much of the book I use the more contemporary spelling of fairy. But there are times when I want to give an olde worlde feel to the story, and in that instance I use the other spelling of faery.
Make sense? Oh well, us fiction authors are allowed to act a little kooky at times. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :-)
