Rosie asked Juliet Marillier:

Hello Juliet. I consider you a gifted woman. I was not a fan of the fantasy genre until someone recommended me to try to read the world of Sevenwaters. And so I did and how glad I am! You are a magnificent storyteller with an extraordinary imagination. Does anyone ever approached you with the idea of turning one of your stories into a movie? It would be amazing to see your characters coming to life!

Juliet Marillier Thank you, Rosie - I'm delighted that you have enjoyed the Sevenwaters books. Someone once described my writing as 'Fantasy for people who don't read fantasy' which may be quite apt!

Re movies, it would be wonderful if someone with the right artistic vision plus financial backing made an offer for film rights to one or more of the books - so far this has not happened but I live in hope. My agent occasionally gets expressions of interest but nothing really serious so far.

All the best, Juliet

Elisha asked Juliet Marillier:

Hi Ms. Marillier. Thank you so much for these books first of all. I've been a fan since Daughter of the Forest first came out. I was wondering two things. 1) Will the audiobook, Beautiful, be available as an ebook at some point? 2) Is there a map for the Blackthorn & Grim/Warrior Bards?

Melany

Melany asked Juliet Marillier:

Hello, like everyone who posts here I am a big fan of your books and have them all. I notice on your bio that you are a member of a druid order OBOD - that sounds absolutely fascinating, can you tell me what this order does? I live near Canberra in NSW, I am sure they don't have anything like that near here although I have discovered recently that there is a Freemason order (and one for women).

Joanna

Joanna asked Juliet Marillier:

Thanks for that. Don't go to too much effort regarding the maps. I can manage without it if it's too much bother. The names I would like to know how to pronounce: Gabhran, Odhar, Suibne, Dubhán, Áine, Gwrad, Ludha?
