Sifra asked Juliet Marillier:

Hi Juliet! For years now I've been a huge fan of your books. I love the themes, setting and mix of history and fantasy! This year, I've read the Bridei Chronicles and I was wondering if you would ever consider writing a sequel? It seems to me there is a story to be told about Circinn (if Bridei is able to unite the two kingdoms, more adventures of Faolan and Eile etc!). Thanks for your reply!!

Juliet Marillier Hi Sifra! That is a great question. I originally hoped to extend the Bridei Chronicles to 5 books but my US publisher said no (story of my life.) I have the other two planned out - the fifth book deals with what happened historically for Bridei with the two kingdoms, and includes story lines for Faolan, Eile and Saraid - it is set a generation later with Saraid and Derelei as young adults. And I have a great follow-up story for Ferada, as well as a story about the children of Ana and Drustan. I don't think my agent would be able to place these with a publisher now, but if I decide to launch into self-publishing they could be a possible project. Alternatively I might be able to do something with novella-length stories. Here's hoping!
All the best, Juliet

Hi Juliet, I hope you are well. Several months back I stumbled upon your series, Blackthorn & Grim, and it became one of my favourites. I am rest assured that by now, you're well aware of your gift for creating rich worlds and characters, but I still want to thank you for them. I've now read Heart's Blood, and Wildwood Dancing, and they're also remarkable. What are your favourite novels or series? Warmest wishes.

Marissa asked Juliet Marillier:

Hello, so let me begin by saying I love the Sevenwaters series very much. I wanted to ask about modern day decedents of the Sevenwaters series. Do you think that the decedents of Sevenwaters would still be struggling with the things their ancestors struggle with?

Hi, so I think the Wildwood series has to have been one of my favourites ever. I read the first book when I was thirteen and it is now my most tattered and loved book, and after reading Cybele's Secret (which is also now tattered and loved), I was wondering if you'll be making a third Wildwood series book for Stela?
