I’m pretty sure Yochva is a girl’s name. (Short for Yocheved, perhaps?)

Just found this and really enjoy it. It has the quality I admire in good novels — to put me into the minds of people in a different culture than my own. The artwork is very imaginative, too.

Please keep doing this.

Oh, come on. Would it kill you to say that nobody.really is entitled to a free copy?

I’ll take Yochva and Shmuel’s words for it! The characters will be renamed.

Is “Yochva” a female or male name? If it’s female, I could name one of them Yochva, if you’d like.

I’d have to second never having heard the names “Crocha” and “Chayan” before. “Brocha” and “Chaya,” yes.

Not until 2010 — and it might be late 2010. It all depends on how long it takes me to finish drawing the graphic novel, and how it works into Abrams’ publishing schedule.

However, that won’t be exactly “another” installment of Hereville — it’ll be the same story you’ve already read, although with a lot of new stuff (two of Mirka’s sisters — Rochel and Gittel — appear a fair amount in the graphic novel). Overall, that will be about 140 pages long.

Then I’ll start working on some new stories. How long those take to appear depends on a lot of things — for instance, if the first Hereville GN has decent sales, then presumably the next story won’t appear until it’s in print. However, if the sales aren’t good, then it’s back to the web for me, and you folks will get to see the new stuff sooner.

Ahhh. Thanks for enlightening me!

Can I take this opportunity to ask when (or if) we’ll get another installment of Hereville?

It's not always easy being Zindel. :-) I found nearly all the names by flipping through "Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers" and writing down the names mentioned in there.
