Moss & Clay Blog Tour – Queen Mab

(Today I have the special honor of sharing about Rebekah Jonesey’s upcoming book: Moss & Clay. While I haven’t read it myself (yet), she was an instrumental supporter for Monster Huntress and its publication. I can’t wait to get this one on my own TBR list!)

Shakespeare saw Queen Mab as a tiny fairy that was the midwife of the fairies. I took a broader approach. She is one of the Queens of the Fae, and also a midwife to the fae. One of the first to be created by Danu she is part of the Aos Si, the fae created by the goddess Danu and her consort the sky god that has no name.

The Aos Si were created from pure magic and as such are pure themselves so they can also use the creation magic like their parents, which means they can create new lifeforms and peoples. As midwife this is something the Mab took great joy in. She created hundreds of new types of creatures. Because let’s face it, after being a midwife she knew how hard and painful it was to give birth to a life from her body. Instead she chose what she saw as the smarter route and only used her magic and pieces of nature to create life.
As the midwife to their entire people Mab is very protective and cares deeply about her people. Being the queen only heightens that sense of responsibility. Which makes her the perfect candidate to create a doll that she will pour so much of her life and magic into so she can save her lost people. And of course a Queen who cares so deeply for her people is also loved and revered. So her people band together to help her in her time of sacrifice, and will comfort her after her real sacrifice happens. Giving up her only blood daughter to send off into the unknown and dangerous land of America.

Rebekah Jonesy knows stuff about things and isn’t afraid to talk and write about it. Outside of the literary world, she is a mad scientist cook, gardener, Jill of all trades, and military spouse. Inside the literary world she is a devourer of books, publisher, and mentor.
