21. Yes, I have a name for her: Rachel

She's also Canadian, from P.E.I., but I'm not vilifying Canadians. Another one (as I recall, she is named Sarah) is from B.C.

My past-wife is from Newfoundland and Ontario, and she's where I got my info on PEI, as the residents there seem to be hated by the rest of Canada for some reason.

The djinn will be from all over the globe, although the first book will only focus on a handful out of nineteen. I'll still have to research a great many cultures to at least try to get personalities right and so forth, and that will come with time. Two of the djinn will fall into the "badness" of Rachel's lead. One is from Korea and the other from Morocco.

Oddly enough, one of the research tools I've used is just listening to HayHouse Radio and Contact Talk Radio as both get calls from people all over the globe. My writing includes a lot of new age thinking and philosophy, and hearing people from other countries talk much like we are used to, helps considerably. If I need help with any culture I don't really know, I may ask around here, too
