I know this is one of the most asked questions you get asked, concerning Wildwood #3 and that this is something that very much dependent on your publisher. Would you consider a scenario where you post a chapter in regular intervals and then self-publish when you have enough to make the book (similar to Ilona Andrews)?

Hi Jesse,
This just isn't the way I work - I take a long while to complete a manuscript and it's revised many times before I let it out into the world, so I wouldn't be happy to release any part of a novel until the whole thing was completed and polished up to publishable standard. It would take me the best part of a year to write and edit Wildwood #3, and during that time I wouldn't be able to write a different book for my existing publishers - I just don't work that quickly and I never do two major projects at the same time.
I do appreciate the suggestion! Someone else could make that work but it's not for me, sadly.

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

Do you ever come to North America on book tours? One of my biggest reading-goals has always been to have you sign my original copy of DotF, which remains to this day my (literally) favorite book; bar none. (PS: the final page of Flame of Sevenwaters was beautiful. Brought back every ounce of heartache from that storyline. Kudos!)
