JY asked Josephine Angelini:

How did you come up with names for the characters? They're lovely!

Josephine Angelini Thank you! Well, Lily I named after a dear friend who I used to bartend with. (Hi Lily!) And Rowan is named after the Rowan tree, which is also known as the wizard's tree. Rowan trees have red berries, and red is thought (by witches) to ward off evil.
