I'm super excited to hear about the new Warrior Bard series! Would you consider the new series to be more aimed at a younger audience? I feel like your more recent series have been; unlike Sevenwaters and Light Aisles which had very dark roots.

Hi Sarah. I'm really surprised by that comment on the more recent series - although the Shadowfell books are intended for young adult readers (the older end of YA, around age 14+) the Blackthorn and Grim novels are definitely adult books, with much older protagonists and a lot of very dark content (I feel the series is much darker than Sevenwaters.) Of all my work, only Shadowfell and the Wildwood books are intended for YA.
Having said that, Warrior Bards will probably appeal to both older YA and adult readers (officially it's an adult historical fantasy series.) The main protagonists are a trio of eighteen year olds, one female, two male, who begin the story on Swan Island, competing for places as warriors in the community there. It all unfolds from there.

I know it may be a silly question but... where do you like writing? And I don't just mean places, like at home, but if you like handwriting or computer writing. And if it's in a computer, do you think the programs or tipe of letters matter to you? They influence you somehow? I think that's it. Thank you for your books, they save me every time <3

Hi Juliet! I'm so happy that you have a new book coming out soon! I pray that it gets published here, in Portugal, where I know you have lots of dedicated fans. My question is a little silly, but I hope you don't mind. I want to get a tattoo of "mo cridhe" because of Well of Shades and I was wondering if you made the conscious choice of using that spelling instead of "mo chridhe"? Thank you for your time and kindness.
