Hi Juliet, I've loved your books for many years, you have such a talent for building rich characters that linger with the reader long after the last page. I was just wondering if you have any events lined up in Australia this year?
Juliet Marillier
Hi Nicole, and thanks for the lovely comment on my characters - I do try to make them real human beings with flaws and strengths.
Re events - in pandemic times it's hard to plan really far ahead (especially living in WA where the borders have only just reopened.) I have two smallish events in May, both in or near Perth: a talk at High Wycombe library on the evening of May 9, and a talk at a (private) Writers Retreat later the same week. Supanova Perth is a possibility but I have not yet committed to it. At this stage I have no interstate travel booked for the rest of 2022. I am scheduled to attend a Writers Retreat at Crom Castle in Ireland in June (my first overseas travel in a long while.)
I have done several online things - link below to a very recent reading and Q&A I did for The Pixel Project. It was done live, but recorded for The Pixel Project's YouTube channel.

Hello Juliet! I've been in love with your books since I first found them in my school library years ago. I was just wondering what (if anything) have you found to be the most surprising and/or rewarding thing about writing? And also, were you scared when you first decided to pursue writing for a career?

Hi Juliet, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your books for the past 15 years, and I wanted to thank you for creating such strong and brave characters who overcome such obstacles. I really enjoy the strong roots in folklore and fairy tales, and I wanted to ask you what books you have found most helpful in your research for writing'?

Hi, Mrs. Marillier! So, I finished both of the Wildwood books just a few weeks ago and fell in love with your prose and ability to create such amazing Fantasy stories and solid female protagonists. I have quite a few of your other books coming in the mail and I can't wait to read more! But anyways, my question is: Could you give us an update regarding the state of the 3rd Wildwood book? Is it still a possibility?
