Hi Juliet, Firstly just want to say I love your books - you have probably been my favorite author for a little over 10 years now. So I'll be travelling to Ireland next year with my mum who is also a huge fan, and we were wondering where exactly the Sevenwaters lake is? There's a wiki that states it is just near Newry, but not exactly which one it is and it would be lovely if you have an answer for us. (+hugs)

Hi Liv,
Sevenwaters is based on the Slieve Gullion area near Newry, but as it would have been back in early medieval times (with a lot more forest!) There isn't a big lake there - when I visited I didn't have access to the lake but I know it's smallish. I've been told the Mourne mountains area is in fact a lot more Sevenwaters-like. You could visit Slieve Gullion Forest Park, where there has been significant replanting in the deforested area, and also the Mourne Mountains, near Carlingford. Wish I was coming too!

Hi Juliet, I hope you are well. Several months back I stumbled upon your series, Blackthorn & Grim, and it became one of my favourites. I am rest assured that by now, you're well aware of your gift for creating rich worlds and characters, but I still want to thank you for them. I've now read Heart's Blood, and Wildwood Dancing, and they're also remarkable. What are your favourite novels or series? Warmest wishes.

Might I ask a question, also not concerning Shadowfell? Here it is; is there any chance that you might write a third book in the Wildwood series? At the end of book 2 I found it heart breaking that Stella wanted a chance to go back to the fairy kingdom. So it is a hope of mine that she will. Thank you so much for your time! I'm sure whatever you decide to write will be wonderful!
