Gratitude

Ask Michelle Anything

Cristopher writes…

Hello Mrs. Michelle Paver, I am a young man of 24, and this is the first time I found out that your official site exists. I just wanted to thank you for creating the Brother Wolf book series, honestly, I have barely read the first book, and I am about to buy the second, but I learned about this first book when I was a 13-year-old boy in high school, and I never believed That it was actually a saga!. Not long ago I found out that to date there are already nine books, I was honestly very surprised, because at first when I discovered it, I thought there were six, but with a little research I found out that there were seven, and then eight, and recently Today I found out that there are now nine. Unfortunately for now I have not found the last two in my language, I am Mexican and for now I have only seen them in English, but my regret is that I can no longer find them in physical form, but that is not going to prevent me from at least being able to enjoy them. his work in electronic book. For now I can only say that, even having only read the first book, I am enthralled by his work, and I know that I will be pleasantly surprised as I continue reading the incredible story he has developed.Finally, and related to my confusion, I wanted to ask you a question, and I understand that for whatever reason I cannot answer it, but will you continue with the saga later? Assuming this has not already concluded in the ninth book, of course. Thank you again for offering me this world that I am about to venture into. I am writing this, an admirer of his work, Chronicles of Ancient Darkness

Dear Cristopher, Thank you so much for getting in touch, and I’m really glad that you’ve enjoyed the first book.  Just to explain about how many books there are: when I first had the idea for the stories, back in 2003, I was sure there would only be six books; so after I’d written the sixth book, I was certain that I’d finished the series.  However readers kept asking for more, and a few years later I had an idea for three more books.  So I wrote them, and that’s why there are now nine.  I should add, though, that the ninth book definitely brings and end to the series.  This is mainly because, with books seven, eight and nine, I’ve developed the characters and brought them to a good place from which to continue with their lives (well, most of them, anyway).  So you can be sure that when you’ve read the ninth book (Wolfbane) you will have finished the series.  As for what language you can read it in, I’m afraid that the final three books haven’t been translated into Spanish, so you’ll need to catch up with them in the English editions.  But I’m hoping this won’t be too much of a problem for you, because your English is excellent.  Once again, thank you so much for getting in touch – and may the guardian run with you!  With very best wishes, Michelle
