Sari writes… I'd like to inform you that there has been a correction to the text of the email I sent you earlier. I mistakenly wrote "What do you think about their names?", but the correct question is about how to name the characters. I'm not confident in my English and relied on a translation…

In my role as an educational psychologist, Wolf Brother has been instrumental in not only opening the door to the…

Evan writes… Hi Michelle, when I was twelve-or-so years old, I wrote you a letter detailing my favourite characters and asking a few questions. I thought maybe, about fifteen years later, I’d do the same now. I’ve recently (just this morning) finished reading the entire Wolf Brother series. I read books 1-6 as a child,…

Harry writes… Hi Michelle, My name is Harry, a 29 year old from London. I’ve only very recently discovered the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series and it reignited my love of reading.

Evan writes… A few months ago I asked a question subjected "A Recent ReReading", and a little while afterwards I got an email saying my question had been replied to, but on the email the "Michelle replies" section was blank, and I haven't been able to find it on-site. I hope it's not annoying of…

Kay writes… I'd like to say how much I enjoyed the Gods and Warriors series. It always seems underappreciated compared to the Wolfbrother series (which I also really enjoyed, incidentally) In both series – but particularly G&W- the style of writing, the density of information and the creation of atmosphere were masterly. I know the…

LAURENT writes… Hello Madam, please can you help me; I can't find Tom 1 of Chroniques des Temps Obscures In French; thank you for your writing which takes us to periods where the sun lights up my moments or the desire to escape the monotony of the days that pass cordially Guy Calixte LAURENT Michelle…

Kris writes… Hello! I just wanted to thank you for writing Dark Matter. It's probably the best book I've ever read! The writing style and pacing are absolutely perfect and it gave me chills down my spine that I haven't felt when reading horror stories since I was a child. I do not have a…

TOMOJAY writes… Can you share Fun facts about you? Michelle Replies… Hi,Tomojay.  Fun facts, hmm, that’s a tough one.  But  here goes: (1) I once licked a giant slug.  It was in Canada, researching for the Wolf Brother books, and licking that type of slug is a traditional cure for tooth-ache; it worked, my mouth…

William writes… Hi Michelle, I met you around ten years ago when you came to my secondary school, you were very kind and took the time to talk to me about your books and life. I am reading Thin Air at the moment, and just wanted to comment on how fantastic the book is. I…

Ethelyn writes… Can you tell me about your experience of writing books? Michelle Replies… Hello, Ethelyn.  Ooh, that’s a very big question; I could probably write a whole book about the experience of writing books! But it’s also a good question.  In brief, I love doing the research, and brain-storming a new story – but…

Sasha writes… Hi Michelle, I've been a fan of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness ever since I was a child.

Stella writes… Dear Michelle. I've written to you before, asking you whether there will be a tv show or not, but now I wanna ask you about something else. This may be an odd question, but I'm curious: Who would you say is the most well-written villain you've made? Personally, I find the main villain…

ossian writes… Do you have any cronicalls of ancient darkness merch?If so where can you buy it Michelle Replies… Dear Ossian, Thanks for your question, but I’m afraid the answer is no, there isn’t any merchandise available, as the books haven’t been turned into films.  So the only things you can currently buy that are…

Sam the really cool one writes… Hiya Michelle So I know that Dark and Kujai are accepted in the world (I think you said it in one of your you tube videos) but as the title suggests how are more gender diverse people treated in different places around the world of COAD? and are there…

Dan writes… Dearest Michelle, I just wanted to express my appreciation for the your writing. I read Wolf Brother and its sequels as a child (many years ago!).

Sam writes… Hallo, I’m Sam I know you have had this question about a million times, but not from me. My super original question is….. “What is fa’s name?” Is it actually fa or did Torak forget? I know you’ve said you shall never tell us but I decided might as well ask myself. Best…

Ethan writes… Hello Michelle, When I was reading Chronicles Of Ancient Darkness, one thing always stuck to me – I always wondered what more we didn't get to know about Fa. I believe that he has a great story left to tell, and the fact that he only ever appears in the first few pages…

Isabelle writes… Hi, I'm Isabelle I'm 13 and a huge fan of your books, after reading the whole series so many, many times for 3 years I've always thought what a great movie, or TV show, or basically anything it could be turned into! (though nothing would be the same the actual book its self.)…

Vaughan writes… Hi, I just wanted to thank you for writing your Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. I first read the series as a kid, and recently (being 24 doing my masters) wanted to give it a go again. There was a lot of fear involved, I wasn’t sure the series would hold up as…

Coleman writes… I'm sure you probably get this a lot, but I've been lucky enough to read/ listen to the entire Chronicles of ancient darkness as they came out (even pre-ordered a few) and I was just wondering if you've ever thought about making a TV show out of them. I think it'd be really…

Holly writes… Hi Michelle! I work at my local library and (luckily) they have gorgeous hardback editions of Dark Matter and Thin Air. I read them both in a week (they were a month or so apart, I get very spooked) with my little book light and rain sounds in the background. I was just…

Garrett writes… Why did you intertwine the theme of uncertainty into the Wolf Brother books, where the main characters are always confronting the unknown and the dangers of the forest, without any warning or certainty of events? I recall the brief dialogue between Fin-kedinn and Torak in the book Oath Breaker, in the beginning of…
