Juliet Marillier:
I am really looking forward to reading your upcoming Blackthorn & Grim series. Will it have romantic elements in it similar to your other books?
Juliet Marillier
Great question, Little Feather! And very difficult to answer ... The Blackthorn & Grim series does have romantic elements - I love a good love story, and there is one in each book. But not quite the sort of love story we had in the earlier books. Dreamer's Pool is a mystery story and the romance is at the heart of that mystery. Then there is the relationship between our two main characters, Blackthorn and Grim, who are in every book. Theirs is an intriguing and complex friendship. I'm hoping readers will embrace the fact that this series is a bit different, and go with the flow.

Hi! I am a huge fan of your books and I loved Dreamer's Pool. I have three questions, some of them fairly irrelevant I'm afraid: 1- How old is Blackthorn? 2- Will we see Oran and the princess again, or do the characters change with every book? (excepto Blackthorn and Grim of course, I imagine they will remain) 3- When is the next book coming out? That's all. Thank you so much for answering questions online :)

Hi Juliet, There isn't enough room here to say how much your books mean to me, but I wouldn't be who I am today without them. Thank you, for everything, and for Sevenwaters most of all. I stumbled onto the FAQ page on your website, and under the Errors section, I see you mention a character who dies then miraculously pops up again in a later book – who was this character, before he was renamed in the reprint?
