Hi, so I think the Wildwood series has to have been one of my favourites ever. I read the first book when I was thirteen and it is now my most tattered and loved book, and after reading Cybele's Secret (which is also now tattered and loved), I was wondering if you'll be making a third Wildwood series book for Stela?

Juliet Marillier Hi! I think the question about a third Wildwood book must be my most frequently asked question. I did intend to write a third instalment with Stela as the narrator. But when I submitted the proposal to my US publisher, she asked me to write a new series instead (the Shadowfell series, now complete in three books.) I think the publisher made that decision based on sales of Cybele's Secret not being as good as sales for Wildwood Dancing. It would be hard for me to get Wildwood 3 published now, so I am going ahead with other projects, in particular my current series for adults, Blackthorn & Grim. But I still haven't entirely given up the idea of Wildwood 3 - I know how much readers would like me to write that book. :)

Hello! I'm a huge fan of the Sevenwaters world and love its depth and richness. Would you consider writing a novella about Ciaran and Niamh? They're two of my favorite characters and are fascinating to me. Ciaran goes through such a great arc throughout the series that I'll really take any excuse to see more of him. Thanks for writing!

Mary Drietz asked Juliet Marillier:

Hi! I've read a number of your books, getting hooked on them starting with daughter of the Forest. Some of the books have pronunciation guides to the Gaelic names, and some don't, and I am currently stumbling with some of the names in the Dark Mirror. Is there someplace I might be able to look up a list for the pronunciation of names as a group? Otherwise I will just keep plugging away at it with google to help ;)

Hannah asked Juliet Marillier:

I have read on here that you wont write a third Wildwood book because your publisher wouldn't allow it or something...but have you considered writing it then self publishing it? I'm sure it would sell well, given the good quality of those books writing. :)
