Juliet Marillier:
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.

Hi Jennifer and thanks for the good wishes. I am a year or more behind my usual schedule, so there won't be a new book in 2022. I am still hoping to have something done in time for publication in 2023. My agent sees problems in the first propsal I sent him (the Baba Yaga series) and thinks it would need major changes to be marketable. I have two other possible projects, both stand-alone novels that are continuations of earlier series - he'll need to see those and decide if either is likely to interest publishers. They're both just at the proposal stage right now. I am very keen to get on with writing an actual book (!) but not confident enough to do that without a reasonable idea that it would be publishable. As soon as I have some news I will post on my Facebook author page (Juliet Marillier Official Fan Page) and on my website blog. I'm not using the Goodreads blog any more.
My state of mind: slightly better than it was a couple of months ago and thank you for asking.

Hi Juliet! I first wanted to say that the Sevenwaters series are a collection of books I hold very dearly to me since I was a teen, they accompanied me throughout the years, and I fell in love with them head first! With that in mind, I was wondering, will Johnny and Gareth ever get a book? I was really interested in them! Though I know the magic of Sevenwaters is its female driven leads, so maybe a spin off?

Do you have any plans on what to write after the Warrior Bards series? Also, who’s your favourite sister in Wildwood Dancing? There are a lot of correlations of them with the Bennet sisters, and I’m curious whether it’s intentional or not? But then personality wise they are quite different- like the quiet but persistent will of Tati compared to the “forgetting” of Jane. :-)
