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!). I am now a practicing doctor and have been struggling the last year due to physical and mental health issues, not helped by the intensity of the…

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.)…

Coleman writes… I was fortunate enough to be able to read/ listen to the series as they came out and I was thinking that they would make an amazing TV show especially if it were abke to really follow the books. It's such a different area and style of TV show that's out now I…

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…

Ethan writes… Hello Michelle, I've been wondering whether you will do touring – would just love to meet you in person! Me and my friends love reading your Wolf Brother Series, and a meet and greet would make things so much more special! Warm Wishes, Ethan Michelle Replies… Hello, Ethan. It’s great that and your…

Anna writes… Hello, I have been a fan of these books for such a long time. but I cant remember if we see the part where Torak gets the soul eater mark or if I'm being silly and there wasn't one. If there was one please tell me what chapter it is. I was also…

Mira writes… Dear Ms Paver, I hope you are well! I have hugely enjoyed reading the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness – the series was really a joy to read! I love the impact it had on the reader and it hooked me to read on from the very first book to the very last. This…

Felicity writes… Hi Michelle, I've LOVED listening to the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series with my daughter on audible. We were rather at a loss when we didn't have Torak and Renn in our lives! We discovered the first book in the Gods and Warriors series, which again we have really enjoyed listening to. Will…

Aimee writes… Hello Michelle! I started reading Wolf Brother when I was 12 (now 27-where has the time gone?!) and at the time read the series up to book 6! I was very excited when I saw an advert for the newest trilogy that came out a couple of years ago, so this year purchased…

Anna writes… Hi Michelle I just wanted to thank you for providing such an excellent ‘chronicles of ancient darkness’ series 🙂 your books bring me so much peace- I first read them from when I was about twelve, (my grandmother brought me them from the library each week) then I reread the series during the…

Sylvia writes… Dear Michelle, I read some of the Torak books when they first came out (already a mature adult at the time!) and loved them, and knew they would be right up my godson Jonathan's street – now 12, he's been addicted for the last two years and has read volumes 1-5, mostly gifted…

Hale writes… Please consider making a movie for wolf brother! It would explode in the industry. All ur other books would become hits as well once that took off. I've been reading ur books since I was 9 and I'm 27 now. I love it work and would love to see it on screen Michelle…

Pedrosky writes… Hord wants to be head of the Raven Clan if Fin-kedinn dies, but Torak knows that's not going to happen, why? Michelle Replies… Hello, and thanks for your question.  Torak knows that Hord could never be Leader of the Raven Clan, because Hord doesn’t have the qualities of a leader.  He’s vain and…

Conall writes… Hi Michelle, I first started reading the chronicles of ancient darkness when I was 8, I am now 22 and still love them. I’ve seen some comments about taking the books to the screen and was wandering if along side a tv series or box set of films, I was wandering if there…

Darin writes… Hi Michelle I felt compelled to write after finishing your three ‘adult’ books. I absolutely loved each of them and couldn’t put them down until they were finished. The atmosphere you created in each was fantastic and spellbinding. I’m a voracious reader and look forward to reading your next book. So the question…

Walt writes… One last thing, or as Columbo always says one more thing . I know why reading DARK MATTER, was hard for me on a first time reading. It hit me to close to home. My wife and I and two daughters built a small log cabin, within twenty-five miles of the Canadian border…

Michael writes… Dear Michelle, I am now 29 years old, but I grew up with your amazing series about Torak. I was the same age as Torak when I was reading the book 2006. I noticed that your newest Torak books aren‘t translated into german, so I would like to offer to translate them for…

Otto writes… Hi, just wanted to reach out to say that the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness were a pretty transformative part of my childhood. I remember reading the Finnish translation of Wolf Brother in just about a day. Having grown up running around the forests of rural Finland, it all just clicked immediately. Outcast ended…

Ján writes… Dear Mrs. Paver: In December 2023 I bought the Slovak translation of your book, Dark Matter, which intrigued me. In August 1988 we carried out a small expedition to Svalbard lasting about 20 days. We were five rock climbers from Nitra, Slovakia, and two scientists – parasitologists – from the Comenius University in…

Jennifer writes… Morning, will there be a new book release soon? Michelle Replies… Hello, Jennifer.  I do have a new book in the making, but I’m afraid it won’t be out this year, as there’s still lots of work choosing the cover, and so on.  Any further news on this will of course be posted…

Regina writes… Dear Michelle, My son loves your books and reads them in English, and he would also love to read them in French language as well (he went to French Immersion school in Canada). We are trying to find Wolf Brothers series in French all over the web with no luck, no e-book or…

David McBride writes… Will this novel ever be turned into a movie? It should be . Michelle Replies… Dear David, many thanks for your message.  I agree with you that Dark Matter would make a good film (in the right hands).  And over the years it’s been optioned by a couple of film companies.  They’ve…

Gianluca writes… Buongiorno, Vorrei anzitutto ringraziarti per il tuo libro "La magia del lupo", l'ho trovato genuino ed incantevole.

Graham writes… Michelle seems to have a great skill in researching the background to each of her novels and making sure the readers find themselves fully engrossed in that background as well as enjoying the story she weaves into it. "Thin Air" is no exception in this regard. I know nothing about mountaineering, and as…
