Hello Michelle, I have been lucky enough to get hold of an advance copy of Rainforest and just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I would love to be able to go into more detail and let you know exactly why, but I don’t want to…

Hi Michelle, this isn't a question, but a sincere thank you. I read COAD for the first time as a nine-year-old, and while I'd always loved playing in the woods and had an interest in bushcraft (and wolves!), your series got me truly obsessed. In large part because of your books, I have learned over…

Hi, as an aspiring illustrator/writer I've loved your work since I was in Year 5 of primary school, and have reread the Wolf Brother series at least once a year (it is definitely my comfort series). I think what draws me to the series is the authenticity of the characters, they aren't always likeable or…

Kay writes… Hi Michelle. We love your work! The Wolf Brother series remains one of my sons' favourites works of literature. For his recent 15th birthday I made him some book art to celebrate the series. I have included a picture for you. I have taken a video of the book also but can't upload…

Kaida writes… Hi, I was wondering where I can buy the complete gods and warriors series on audio. Or if it’s completed yet? I can only find book 1 on audible and Spotify 🙁 Thanks Michelle Replies… Dear Kaida, I’m afraid the answer is that books 2-5 of Gods and Warriors aren’t available as audiobooks,…

Thank you for your work! I have read some of your articles on your website and they truly mesmerize me, especially the one about survival in the stone age. I am not going to go into the modern world and it’s differences, but as i read the article i realized that people lived much differently…

Joe writes… Hi Michelle Paver, justed wanted say a massive thanks for the Wolf brother cronchiles. I love wolves. And loved the books. Iwas a member of the pack at the Wolf conservation trust uk. Which I heard you visited to see Torak. I’m sorry I was unable to meet you in person .What a…

Joanne writes… Hello Michelle, Quick question. When will your new book ‘Rainforest’ be available in Australia? Undoubtedly, like many others, I’m looking forward to reading it. Thankyou, Joanne Michelle Replies… Hello, Joanne.  I’ve just checked with my publishers, and they tell me that Rainforest will be published in Australia on the same day as in…

Liam T writes… Hello again Michelle, Thank you so much for your speedy reply! You have been my favourite author since I was a teenager so your reply and acknowledgement of my book series WoodBound is a bucket list tick. I should have mentioned in my last message that I am only published through KDP…

L. T. writes… Hello Michelle, if I may call you by your first name. I am L. T. Stewart and I am a newly published, brand new author… which I attribute largely to your book series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. It is by far my favourite book series and has stayed with me all these…

Valda writes… Hello Michelle. (I don’t expect a reply to this message) I contacted you recently and mentioned that while we were having a heatwave in Suffolk, I decided to re-read Dark Matter, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Aside from the isolation, claustrophobia and terror, obviously. It was interesting you mentioning that a publisher had…

Itzel writes… Hola Michelle, me han encantado libro de las Crónicas de la Prehistoria de Hermano Lobo, solo que aún no he podido leer wolf bane, mi inglés es algo o muy malo… Soy de Nayarit, México, desde que tenía 10 me apasione con la travesía de Torak, Ren y Lobo… Pd… Ya tengo 26…

Mel writes… Hi Michelle, I grew up on your books. I was a First Nations kid and your novels inspired me to recreate and follow the path of my ancestors. At least, partially! I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail as a result of the inspiration Torak’s journey invoked in me. At 18 years old I…

Hello Michelle, I first read the Wolf Brother series when I was around 10 years old. I haven’t had the drive to read books for many years, but I decided this Summer to read my all-time favourite book series ‘Wolf Brother’ again. It’s reconnected me with my wild-child self, who grew up in Hastings playing…

evan writes… michelle for my tenth birthday in 2016 i was given my copy of the wolf brother book, every following excuse or holiday i got i would ask for the next installed and finished the series when i was 13. i held it dearly to my heart having grown up with my dad calling…

Hi Michelle, As a child the Wolf Brother series was one of my favourites. It’s been so influential to me; to the point of naming what is probably my first ever character in Renn’s honour when I was fourteen. I still write to this day. In part, a LOT of that is because of you.…

Hello again! I forgot one part of my previous message, haha. I was wondering if you had any significance in mind when it comes to the placements of the different clan tattoos, as in if certain parts of the body would mean something special to the clans or bear some kind of importance when it…

Hello dear Michelle! I hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far and that your latest launch is going well. I heard the news just yesterday, and it seems like a thrill! I’m excited for you. I was just wondering a bit about clan tattoos, so if you don’t mind I have a couple of…

nabatanzi writes… My book to read was outcast but I felt like entering the book. I don’t know how you do it but your books are very amazing. Michelle Replies… Dear Cynthia, I’m really glad that you like my books so much, and thank you for taking the time to get in touch!  I hope…

Dear Michelle, Thank you for answering my question about analysis. To me, Freud’s idea of the unconscious is like a spoiled brat who causes trouble, whereas for Jung it’s the source of wisdom. The forest in COAD is like that, the source of life — but you can’t control it. No need to reply, I…

Good afternoon, my mum has lost her signed copy of her favourite book. Would it be possible to pay for another copy at all please. Many thanks Michelle Replies… Dear Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear that about your mum’s book, but I’m afraid I can’t send you another signed copy, as if I did…

Having just read your latest article I feel compelled to lambast your publisher, we want ghost stories the whole year round! The summer is when the ghosts don’t just skulk in the shadows but they ride forth. I have just spent the night of the summer solstice in meditation on top of the Longman of…

Fascinated by your account of your ‘block’ dream, and its resolution with analysis; do you mind me asking what kind of analysis you had? I know analysis and therapy quite often doesn’t help so anything you’d share as to what made it work would be great, though I’m asking a lot! perhaps just — was…

Dear Michelle, We have met before (and I’ve asked you questions before), and this time I would like to ask you yet another very specific question about a scene in COAD. At the start of Spirit Walker, when the sickness is spreading through the Forest and the first members of the Raven Clan fall ill,…

Hey Michelle, just wondered if there had been any movements in a potential wolf brother series? I know the idea what discussed a while ago but wondered if there had been any movements? Just to add I adored the wolf brother series so much but never finished the last book. I cannot go further because…

Hi Michelle. Would you consider writing any prequels or spinoffs in Torak’s world? Will there be any film or TV apaptations of the original 6 book series in the future? – I hope so! What changes would you make? And what same ideas would you insist of using? Do you have any actors in mind…

Hi Michelle! I grew up reading your books from the age of eight to now eighteen and the wolf brother series is hands down one of the best i have ever read. I’ve always loved the idea of toraks world being adapted to a TV show, and I know there was a cancellation a couple…

Valda writes… I love this book and always enjoy recommending it to other people, so as it’s hot and steamy in Suffolk, what could be better than (re) visiting Gruhuken with Jack and spending some time in the Arctic. Michelle Replies… Dear Valda,  it must indeed be hot in Suffolk – it’s getting pretty tropical…

I love the Wolf brother series. It changed my life. I’m currently on Oathbreaker. It is my favorite series yet. Michelle Replies… Hello, Briar.  It’s brilliant that you’re enjoying the books so much, and thanks a lot for letting me know!  I hope you enjoy Oathbreaker as much as the previous stories, and that you also…

Dear Michelle, I hope this message finds you well and you are finding ways to stay cool during this heatwave we’re currently having! I wanted to message to congratulate you on what a triumph RAINFOREST is. I was lucky enough to get a digital proof on NetGalley and of course I had to read it…

I want to thank you for writing this novel. English is not my first language, nor am I from the UK, so it has been a truly enriching journey. It has been years since I’ve read with a dictionary in hand, and it has made me feel very rewarded. Furthermore, it has helped me connect…

Hi, I’ve recently read both Dark Matter and Thin Air and I am devastated you don’t have any more books along these lines. I genuinely don’t want to read anything else. I absolutely loved everything about them: you’re writing style, the plot, the story telling, the atmosphere, the characters and all of the spooky parts…

Hi my names jasmyn and I have loved reading the chronicles of ancient darkness. I would like to ask you about clan guardians. Can your clan guardian be an animal that you are deeply connected too? Thanks, Jasmyn Michelle Replies… Hello again, Jasmyn, and thanks for this.  You’re quite right, your clan guardian can indeed…

Isabelle writes… Hello, Michelle! Hope you’re doing well! I fell in love with the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness books as a pre-teen and has since re-read them in about every stage of my life and each re-read gives new perspectives on the books as my own life experiences grow. For example, while as a kid,…

How did you think of the idea to make the book wolf brother and what inspired you to make this specific book series Michelle Replies… Dear Jeffrey, I think the idea for Wolf Brother goes back to when I was a child, and mad keen on wolves and the Stone Age.  I loved the idea…

Holland writes… I rediscovered the Wolf Brother series this winter when I visited my parents’ house. I was obsessed with the series as a kid (I’m now 30). I took the books home and re-read them; I was completely blown away by how much and how differently I enjoyed them as an adult. As a…

Hi Michelle! First of all I would like to thank you for creating such a captivating story and world with Wolf Brother! I’ve been an avid reader of the books since 2006 when I started out at 8 years old, and now at almost 27 I read it in class for my own students. As…

Aly writes… Hi Michelle. I can't tell you how excited I am to read your new books. I have pre ordered both. Also it's great you are promoting independent book stores. I have fallen in love with Thin Air and Dark Matter and Wakenhyrst. There is something about your books that hooks in my own…

Hello I am keen to pre order ‘The witching Hour’ but the link took me to Amazon. I’d prefer to order it from an Independent bookshop like I could with The Rainforest. Do you know if this is possible? Many thanks Maria Michelle Replies… It’s great that you’d like to pre-order The Witching Hour, Maria,…
