Juliet answered Jessica J's question: Happy Tuesday Juliet! How are you doing? Hoping and wishing when you read this, you and yours are well and safe. As an RN, working at our busy little Urgent Care, can see things that can shake anybody’s mind and soul. So, for me is a daily reminder to give thanks to God and count with all my fingers and toes all the blessings, even those ones that come well disguised. Stay safe. Your fan, Jessica Jimenez RN Happy Thursday to you, Jessica. I can imagine what life must be like in these times for an RN working in Urgent Care. I send you love and strength, and a wish that you and yours remain safe and well. Juliet

Juliet answered Christie's question: Hi Juliet, I'm completing a book challenge this year (to try and get back into more reading) and one prompt for a book is a recommendation by our favourite author. Since I own every single book you've written (personal favourites being Son of the Shadows, Tower of Thorns and Hearts Blood), do you have any good book recommendations at the moment? Thanks so much. Hi Christie. I recommend any of the following: Circe by Madeline Miller The Once and Future Witches by Alix E Harrow The Bone Maker by Sarah Beth Durst Happy reading to you and well done for tackling the book challenge!

Quotes by Juliet Marillier

“If a man has to say trust me, Gogu conveyed, it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you know without words.”
― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing

“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

I took a deep breath, I think I have to, I said, blinking back tears. Without it, we're all going nowhere.”
