Juliet Marillier:
Ms. Marillier, I know it has been stated many times before, but let me start off with how amazing and transporting your books are to us readers. Caitrin is my favorite character (along with Liaden) & HB is my favorite book; would you ever consider writing a book related to HB in some way? I would love to see what happened to Caitrin and Anluan. Thank you for your wonderful books, they all are great treasures to me.
Juliet Marillier
Thank you for your kind comments, Hailey. I love Caitrin too. There's a lot of me in her. I did intend Heart's Blood to be a stand-alone novel. However I agree a follow-up would be good. A reader suggested building a story around Emer, the ghost child, as a young woman, and I can see that becoming an interesting story. The only problem with this idea is that publishers might not be keen on a follow-up to a novel published several years ago. I haven't ruled it out entirely, but right now I am still busy with the Blackthorn & Grim books. I will have a long think about what comes next when I have completed the current manuscript.
all the best, Juliet
all the best, Juliet
