Kirsten writes... I am a Teacher Librarian in British Columbia, Canada - many of my students are wondering if you plan to make your novels into Graphic Novels? Thanks! Michelle Replies... Hello, Kirsten, thanks for your question. I'm afraid I've no plans for turning my stories into Graphic Novels - although that's not because I've anything against them, it's just that no one has approached me about this; and of course my own interest lies...
Gods & Warriors and Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: a love of Archaeology and a return to reading!
Carla writes... Hello!! I'm sorry for the lenght of this message, but I wanted to explain how important you've been to me ^^. I just wanted to tell you that I read the Gods and Warriors saga when it released back in 2012/2013. I was a teenager, and I had a Greek mythology fever due to Percy Jackson haha.

Daughters of Eden trilogy
Susan writes... I have just re-read The Shadow Catcher and it has made me want to read the rest of the trilogy, but don’t even know the titles, which weren’t available when I bought The Shadow Catcher. Perhaps they are out of print? You have obviously written many books since 2002! Best wishes, Susan Carson-Rowland Michelle Replies... Hello, Susan. I'm glad that you enjoyed the Shadow Catcher. The other books in the trilogy are Fever...

An update on Torak the dog and his human
Sasha writes... Dear Michelle, I wrote to you last year about adopting a dog and naming him Torak. I've come back to report that Torak is doing amazing in his new home! He's learned a ton of stuff, from boring old house rules (such as don't steal my slippers to get attention) to tricks. Most importantly that the best time to get loved on is when I bend over to tie my shoes, and that...
Seals in Dark Matter: some thoughts
P writes... Possible spoiler, sorry, but am so curious. I couldn't help noticing the repeated reference to a small "wet dark round head" throughout the story. I also think that Algy's mistreatment of the seals is no coincidence. I think the explanation coming from the various minor characters is a red herring. I love Scottish sea legends, shared among Faroese and Icelandic cultures. Perhaps you might "seal" what I am referring to...? Or even "kelpie"...
