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

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!!

Tinted Edges asked Juliet Marillier:

Hi Juliet, I just wanted to say I absolutely adore your books, I've been reading them for years and I review them regularly on my book blog at http://tintededges.wordpress.com. I cried when I read Flame of Sevenwaters; I had recently had to put down my dog who was 19 years and 8 months old and the story really touched me. Are there plans for more books about real historical figures like Bridei?

Sophia asked Juliet Marillier:

Would you consider doing a prequel of Regan and Tali perhaps? I fell in love with both of them and would love to see them before the events of the book happened. Love your work!!! <3 :)
