Mrs. Marillier, Did you model Bramble from Blackthorn and Grim after your own puppy? When I saw this picture of you with your puppy, that is how I imagined Bramble looking when I was reading Dreamers Pool.
Juliet Marillier
Hi Lizzie. Bramble is not entirely based on Harry, the dog in my author photo, though she's similar - I see her with stand-up ears and wispier hair. She's more a blend of several small white dogs that live or have lived with me - Harry, Fergal and Sara. Nice question!

Juliet Marillier:
How "historical" is the universe of the Seven Waters / Blackthorn & Grim / Warrior Bard series? On the surface, it seems like a timeless fantasy version of medieval Ireland, but digging deeper, there are plenty of historical references such as the coming of the Norsemen, that hint at specific historical period. I'm not familiar enough with Irish history to puzzle it out yet!

Juliet Marillier:
Hi Juliet! I know you've answered this question a million times over- the question about writing a 3rd Wildwood book. Whenever you answer, you mention something about wanting to write the third book, but that your publisher didn't want to go on. I was wondering if it's normal for most publishers to pick which book their writers write? And if so, why?
