Reading and Q&A for The Pixel Project: watch it here

Hi all, and apologies for neglecting this space for so long. Earlier this month I did a live reading and Q&A on YouTube, in support of The Pixel Project, an organisation that raises funds to combat violence against women. The Pixel Project regularly hosts conversations with authors in which they chat about their work, creating female characters, and why it's so important to raise the issue of violence against women [...]

JM Reading Live on April 7/8 for Manchester City Library

I'll be appearing in a live (virtual) 24 hour Read-a-Thon on April 7/8, a fund-raising venture for Manchester City Library. I'm one of many authors participating in this event, during which each of us will read briefly from our work, then answer questions about writing, reading and libraries. That's Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, folks, not the English city. The event will be broadcast live on Twitch at:  www.twitch.tv/mcl_foundation For more [...]

Recorded interview for Brisbane Libraries, May 19 2020: Juliet in conversation with Aimee Lindorff

Hi all. I hope you enjoy this recent interview. There are a few gaps, because there's a time difference between Perth and Brisbane. Also, the initial lead-in time is long enough for you to press play, go and make a cup of tea, and get back for the start. It was lovely talking to Aimee, and I really appreciated the opportunity at a time when live appearances to promote books [...]

Author Interview: Mark Noce and Between Two Fires

If I asked you what are the most popular settings for historical fiction these days, you might nominate the Tudor period, Regency England, or perhaps London in Victorian times. Then there’s Roman Britain, Viking era Scandinavia, Napoleonic Europe. But you don’t often find a novel set in early medieval Wales, which is odd, since that period and culture are rich in storytelling potential. Welsh mythology, captured in that treasure trove [...]

Author Interview: Meg Caddy and Waer

It’s a real delight to introduce Meg Caddy, an up-and-coming Australian writer whom I mentored back when she was a high school student. Meg was already a passionate and dedicated writer then, with a remarkable work ethic for someone of her age. It wasn’t only her talent that impressed me, but her willingness to listen to critique and to re-draft over and over in an effort to improve her work. [...]

Q&A: Alison Goodman and Lady Helen and The Dark Days Club

I recently had the pleasure of reading Alison Goodman’s new novel, Lady Helen and the Dark Days Club, a heady and highly original blend of Regency romance and dark fantasy. I think this novel, and the sequels to come, is going to appeal to a very wide readership, as it combines meticulous research with great pacing and strong characterisation. And of course, there’s the uncanny element, which sometimes verges on [...]

Author Interview: Margaret Skea and A House Divided

I met British writer Margaret Skea at last year’s Historical Novel Society Conference in London, when we both stayed in the student accommodation at Marylebone Hall. Margaret is an award-winning writer of both short fiction and historical novels. Her new book, A House Divided, a sequel to Turn of the Tide, was released last month. I was delighted when Margaret agreed to an interview. Margaret, congratulations on A House Divided [...]
