Samantha asked Juliet Marillier:

Hi Juliet, I know you get asked a lot of questions about a third WildWood Dancing book. Not sure if anyone has asked you before about crowdfunding? i.e. KickStarter If you could raise enough money to essentially pay yourself a salary for writing the third book - would that be something you would consider?

Juliet Marillier Hi Samantha and thanks for the suggestion. Other readers have suggested something similar in the past. It's certainly a valid idea - a lot of artists and writers fund-raise either in this way or by opening a Patreon (basically that is getting a lot of readers to sign up to give a regular small donation in return for exclusive extras such as art work or a downloadable short story.) At this point I have heaps of contracted work on hand - two more novels in the Warrior Bards series to write in the next two years, plus an expansion of a novella into a short novel, plus a book of fairy tale retellings for YA. So even if I went with the crowdfunding model I simply wouldn't have time to think about a third Wildwood book for the next couple of years at least. After that, who knows?
all the best, Juliet

Lex Maliga Davis asked Juliet Marillier:

I love Wildwood Dancing and the Blackthorn & Grim series! It makes me so sad every time I see your responses saying that publishers don't want you to continue series. What kind of music are you listening to? (I just had to ask a question for the comment to go through but I am interested in your answer.)

Laureen

Laureen asked Juliet Marillier:

How I love this author. I sure wish the Libraries were open but I am wading through of wall of books at home I haven't read yet. Anyone who has read Juliet's books are truly missing out. I cannot read modern SciFi because it is in the future but historical fiction of the past are wonderfully covered by Juliet. What is the latest series to be called?
