Juliet
February 23rd, 2007 by Juliet Marillier
Juliet Marillier is the author of nine historical fantasy novels for adults. Her books are published internationally. She has also written two novels for young adults, Wildwood Dancing and Cybele’s Secret (Knopf’s US edition comes out in September 2008.) Her most recent adult novel is Heir to Sevenwaters, published in the US, the UK and Australia in November 2008.
Juliet has loved history, mythology and folklore since she discovered Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books as a small girl, and weaves this kind of material into her novels more or less instinctively. She likes stories that examine women’s personal journeys and the relationships between humankind and the natural world – unsurprising as her own spiritual practice is based on druidry.
Juliet believes she does most things intuitively when writing fiction, and as a result finds writing about the craft of writing an interesting challenge.
Originally from New Zealand, Juliet now lives in Western Australia. She shares her hundred-year-old cottage with two canine housemates and a feline editorial assistant.
