I'm Still Here!

Hi all,

I'm embarrased to see that I last posted here nearly 6 yeears ago ... Just wanted you to know I am still around and still writing, but I disengaged from Goodreads for a while for various reasons. I have kept on adding books as I read them. I do find the star system for rating books a bit inadequate. You'll notice most of my ratings are a 4 or 5. That's because, if I really don't enjoy a boo Read more of this blog post »

Juliet answered Laura Mennona's question: Just finished cybele’s secret and I so wish there was another book! Is this something you may self publish? I think this series came out right before these types of books got huge! I love the story of the sisters and the other world and the romance!! What an amazing read to both! I started wildwood dancing when I was 14 and I wish I knew there was a second book back then! Not enough advertisement went throughs it! Hi Laura - apologies, I only just saw this, have not been on this page very much. I don't think I would self-publish. What I did do is write a short story, which will appear in an anthology mid-2026, featuring some modern-day characters going to visi See Full Answer

Quotes by Juliet Marillier (?)

“If a man has to say trust me, Gogu conveyed, it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you know without words.”
― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing

1120 likes

“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.”
― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest

“So you do believe in... true love? she whispered.
I took a deep breath, I think I have to, I said, blinking back tears. Without it, we're all going nowhere.”
