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 don’t have a question just a comment? I have read all your books and I wanted you to know how much they mean to me. I still think about the seven water characters. They are like old friends. And it’s been years since I read those books. I am almost 50 (omg that’s hard to type) I have read thousands of books and your books are my favorite. If I ever win mega millions I am hiring you.....lol thanks again

Hi Juliet, I'm a french reader and I loved your Sevenwaters series! The relationship between your characters is very beautiful and full of poetry. I was wondering if your other books would be published in french one day? It will be wonderful to immerse myself again in your magical universe :) Merci ! Marie
