(view spoiler)[Hello Juliet! I'm a great fan of your work and as a portuguese I just have to ask this: where did your inspiration for the character of Duarte Aguiar in Cybele's Secret came from? He's one of my favourite characters, not because he's portuguese, but because I really love his charisma and his humour (very portuguese by the way, you caught well that trait). Also is there a chance he'll appear again in a Wildwood 3 book? (hide spoiler)]
Juliet Marillier
Hi Catarina! I'm so glad you like the books. I put Duarte in Cybele's Secret more or less as a gift to my Portuguese readers, who have always been so loyal and appreciative. He fitted in well with that story's focus on trade, travel, and secretly exchanged goods. I'm glad he came across as suitably Portuguese in character!
I really don't know about a Wildwood 3 book. I can't see that happening while I have other contracts to fulfill, and as you probably know my publishers were not keen on the idea. But I do agree he would be a great character to write about again some time.

Hi Juliet I saw a post from you a little while ago about you not being very motivated to write due to the worlds issues. I was wondering if you are feeling more positive? Are we going to have a new book soon? You have been my favorite author for years now. And I just want to say thank you and wish you the best.

I have just joined this site I can't believe my favourite writer is on here! I love your books in fact I come from Asia and your Dark Mirror was the first western book I ever read, it was many years ago when I was little but I could still remember many details in it, the book was part of my childhood what a beautiful book it was. I was wondering will you ever come to UK? If so, when? Thank you!
