I love watching hares run and graze. Though I might accidentally call them rabbits, it’s not that big a deal: at least I’m not calling them something outside of their family. Besides, I write fiction and that place where reality and fantasy meets isn’t really keen on technicalities (until revision time).
For the most part, rabbits and hares are used interchangeably in folklore. If you’d like to know the difference between the two, check out this article by National Geographic.

I find this post fascinating because my book is releasing at the end of March, and it has a bunny as a central character.
