A Goodreads user asked Kate Forsyth:

i listened to your interview last year and you have been through so much as a small child and you came out to be such a great author, if you don't mind me asking, Do you think you would have been as successful in writing and such a great author if you didn't read the Grimm Fairy tales whilst in hospital when you were so small?? lots of love Sveva P.s. i LOVED both the Beasts Garden and the Wild Girl

Kate Forsyth Thanks so much for your question! I'm so glad that you enjoyed THE BEAST'S GARDEN & THE WILD GIRL. To tell you the truth, I think my childhood accident and my many trips to hospital had a crucial impact upon my imagination. Apart from anything else, it meant I spent my childhood reading and so I was actually incredibly lucky in some ways :) If you look at my whole body of work, you can see the Grimms in every book, even in only small ways.
I do hope you read some more of my books one day!

Alisa asked Kate Forsyth:

Hello! I am 3/4 through The Wild Girl and I'm totally enthralled by it. What makes it special for me is that I actually lived in Kassel for over 11 years and now live just 24km away in a smaller town very close to the Sababurg so I can relate to the events and places so much more. I'd like to know if it has been published in German or will in the near future as I would love to recommend it to my German friends?

Lana asked Kate Forsyth:

i do not have a question for you Kate but just want to thank you for your beautiful series Witches of Eileanan, i am an avid reader but i have rarely read a series i enjoyed as much as this one, the magic and the connection of the women with mother nature and the healers are amazing! Cannot recommend these books highly enough, they are a real pleasure to read and own. Will you be writing another similar series?
