A Goodreads user asked Zoë Marriott:

I have just started reading shadows of the moon and barefoot on the wind. It's the first series in a long time that I have read in a night. Are you planning on writing any more in the series. Would there be a little mermaid inspired novel set in the Moonlit Lands?

Zoë Marriott Hi Louise,

Thank you for your question! I'm really glad that you've enjoyed the two books set in the Moonlit Lands. I'd love to write more stories that utilise this setting - but it honestly depends on whether my publisher (or any publisher!) want to buy and publish them.

At the moment I'm working on a fairytale retelling which is loosely connected to that setting - it takes place in what the characters in Shadows on the Moon refer to as the Old Empire, which is inspired by Tang Dynasty China - but I don't have a contract for this yet.

I do intend to write a Little Mermaid retelling in the future (have you been looking at my Pinterest? It has a board there) but at the moment my mental image the setting for that story is wildly different. And again, I don't have a publisher for it yet.

So basically: I hope so - cross your fingers for me!
