The mug in the cover art is the actual size of the one in the story, fired
to 1200° Celsius (cone 6) in an electric kiln. The glaze was made of gray clay
from the excavation for the Traverwood branch of the Ann Arbor District
Library, dried, crushed, screened to remove gravel and grit, and reconstituted
with plain water (no additives) to dipping consistency. This gave a light
olive-green satin finish, which was subsequently enhanced via GIMP image
manipulation software to get a bright green luminous look.
The Great Pyrenees guard dog Frax mentions in Chapter 25 as his
inspiration for naming Katy was a real dog on a sheep farm in the northeast
corner of Ann Arbor.
The "curiously-smoky fragrance" of ground nut / hopniss flowers Frax
refers to in Chapter 66 is not generally known. The author experienced it in
an extended patch along a trail in the Leonard Preserve in Manchester,
Michigan.
