Sarah asked Juliet Marillier:

Hello! I'm sure you are probably asked this quite a bit. Do you think you will ever write another Sevenwaters novel? I am absolutely in love with the entire series! Daughter of the Forest was given to me as a Christmas present several years ago, and since then I have shared the book with family, friends, and even a couple of teachers! Thank you for your time!

Juliet Marillier Hi Sarah, and thank you for these nice comments - I'm very happy that you loved the Sevenwaters books. I did feel the series was finished with Flame of Sevenwaters, partly because Ciaran's story runs through all six books and I felt as if he had reached a good stopping place (though of course the reader will wonder how he got on in that very challenging situation.) I am really involved in writing the Blackthorn & Grim series now, also set in medieval Ireland, and with a mystery element added to the historical fantasy. They are more complex, grittier books with older, more damaged central characters and I'm finding them rewarding to write. I might possibly write a short story or novella set in the Sevenwaters world at some point - I know there are plenty more story possibilities there including a whole cast of much younger characters, the sons and daughters of that last generation.
all the best, Juliet
