Juliet Marillier was born July 27, 1948 in Dunedin, New Zealand and grew up surrounded by Celtic music and stories. Her own Celtic-Gaelic roots inspired her to write her first series, the Sevenwaters Trilogy. Marillier was educated at the University of Otago, where she majored in music and languages, graduating BA and a B Mus (Hons). She has said in an interview that this academic training strengthened her writing, and that her lifelong interest in history, folklore and mythology has had a major influence on her storytelling style.
She lives in a hundred-year-old cottage in a riverside suburb of Perth. She shares her home with four dogs. She has four adult children and six grandchildren, all of whom live in Australia. She has been a fulltime...more

“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.”
Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest

So you do believe in... true love? she whispered.
I took a deep breath, I think I have to, I said, blinking back tears. Without it, we're all going nowhere.
Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing

“If a man has to say trust me it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you do without words.”

Kerry Ok sounds good.
I just LOVED Wildwood so i'll be on the look out for whenever you get around to writing another one :)


message 12: by Juliet

Juliet Hello Kerry,

I had planned to write the third Wildwood book this year, but my editor asked me for a completely new series for young adults instead, so I'm working on that (the Shadowfell series.) I may possibly come back to Wildwood later.


message 11: by Kerry

Kerry Hello
I was wondering if you were planning to write anymore books in the Wildwood series?

Kerry Hello Ms. Marillier,
Just wanted to say that I just finished Wildwood Dancing and really enjoyed it. I was glad that everything worked out in the end even though I really felt for Cezar. I'm sbout to the second book and I hope that it'll have more of Cezar in it :)


Michelle Thank you so much for adding me Juliet! You are my biggest inspiration for writing. You're simply amazing. Again Thanks!
