Hi Juliet, There isn't enough room here to say how much your books mean to me, but I wouldn't be who I am today without them. Thank you, for everything, and for Sevenwaters most of all. I stumbled onto the FAQ page on your website, and under the Errors section, I see you mention a character who dies then miraculously pops up again in a later book – who was this character, before he was renamed in the reprint?

Hi Briony, and apologies for the slow response. I'm so happy you've enjoyed my books!
Re that character, he's one of Johnny's men who dies in the fight for the islands toward the end of Child of the Prophecy (I just re-read that scene to check.) His name is Mikka. He pops up alive in Heir to Sevenwaters. I did ask the publishers to rename him, whether they did so I'm not sure as I don't have a copy of every reprint. Usually they won't make a change unless it's something really major, as it involves some expense.

One of the things I love about your work is your ability to combine genres - fantasy, historical fiction, romance, and now even mystery - into a single book. Was this something you set out to do deliberately, especially with Blackthorn & Grim,or did it come organically through developing the story?
