Little Feather

Little Feather asked Juliet Marillier:

I am really looking forward to reading your upcoming Blackthorn & Grim series. Will it have romantic elements in it similar to your other books?

Juliet Marillier Great question, Little Feather! And very difficult to answer ... The Blackthorn & Grim series does have romantic elements - I love a good love story, and there is one in each book. But not quite the sort of love story we had in the earlier books. Dreamer's Pool is a mystery story and the romance is at the heart of that mystery. Then there is the relationship between our two main characters, Blackthorn and Grim, who are in every book. Theirs is an intriguing and complex friendship. I'm hoping readers will embrace the fact that this series is a bit different, and go with the flow.

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).

Jami Bahr asked Juliet Marillier:

Juliet, I LOVE your books. I want to live in them. Your writing is so beautiful and so immersive and just really so wonderful. I wondered if you have ever thought about or been approached regarding other media for your stories. Movies? T.V.? I have thought, while reading Blackthorn and Grim, what a great television series that would make.

Mel (Epic Reading) asked Juliet Marillier:

When I first read your Sevenwaters Trilogy (at that time it was only 3) I loved the fairy tale inspiration used; whilst the novel still told it's own story in it's own way. There has recently been a surge of fairy tale 're-tellings' for Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, & others. I'm wondering if you were to pick another Grimm fairy tale to use for a basis of a story, like you did with Six Swans, what would it be?
