I love dragonflies, and when I saw there was a book called Dragonfly, I HAD to read it! I LOVED it so much I bought it (I don't by books unless I love them). Now I need to find a copy of The Glass Swallow to read. I didn't even know it existed - I found out by accident.

Great! J

I took Glass Swallow on holiday with me and read it twice it was so good! Rain was such an interesting character and Peri's behaviour around her was very cleverly written. I loved the hint at Ram and Tashi- the most annoying thing was I'd left Dragonfly at home! I've just got home and picked it straight up to reread. These are the only books of yours I've read and reread and really enjoyed!(maybe because I'm older than the target readers...) I hope we get to see more of this world soon.... x

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. J

I just Finished reading Dragonfly and I absolutely adored it! It had so many different components mixed in. The action and adventure was great I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next with Tashi and Ramils getting kidnapped fighting it was so very entertaining. I also loved the romance I thought it was so cute how there relationship progressed, not to mention Ramils jealousy was really funny. I really enjoyed how Tashi was such a strong female the way she stood her ground wouldn't let a man take control of her life and how could you not love Yelena the butt kicking warrior. The traveling group of 6 was was one of my favorite parts to read. I like how they all had the little inside jokes an relationships and grew strong together (strong enough to lead an army of slaves!) I really loved reading this book and I can't wait to read what else you've written!

Thanks! J

Hi Julia I just want to say that I really enjoy reading your books. I especially love Dragonfly and I'm reading The Glass Swallow at the moment, which is amazing. I really love the way you write, its so good, just your descriptions take me to a different place, its that good. At the moment I'm trying to speed read The Glass Swallow because I have to return it to the library on Tuesday and I don't want to get a fine on it, but who cares because I can't stop reading it!

Thanks (I hope you don't get that fine!). J

Hello, I know that Glass Swallow has only just been released but I have finished reading it already and want to read more! I understand that as GS has only just been released that you probably haven't thought about it yet but will there be anymore dragonfly books? (they are my favourite of all of your stories) thank you so much, Caroline P.S. you are my favourite author of all time!

Thanks. I don't know yet but the world certainly has more stories in it for me to tell! J

Hi Julia! I haven't been on the website in ages and ages! Just wanted to say I've ordered 'The Glass Swallow' and I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT!! It's a shame the next Cat book will only be out next year - I was looking forward to it! Also, do you have any plans on coming to Portugal anytime soon? The weather is lovely this time of year :D Also, how many Dragonfly books will there be? Tascha x

Italy this year :). I hope you enjoy GS and the summer. Julia

Hi Julia, I absolutley love Dragonfly, it was one of the best books I have ever read! I was wondering when the Glass Swallow will be availible in the United States. Thanks

I don't know yet - the publisher usually decides about a year in advance (should be any day now). Julia

Johnny wrote on 18 June 2010:

I read the first book of Cat royal and I'm wondering if you'll write more than 5 books you've already written. Please write more 'cause i Like them very much. Although they're not translated in any lanuage , are they? Please make a contract to translate them in Greek, won't you? I write here because I want to read this book , too , as everyone says i's great , but at Greece none of your books are released in any shop! Oh, and you mentioned that you live in Oxford. Can you tell me the address so as to visit you when I go to London?

See previous answer. J

Okay, I loved dragonfly when it came out(although I am probably getting a bit too old for those books) I really wanted to buy The glass swallow but I swear NO BOOK STORE in London has it! Why is that?? :(

I don't know - I've seen it in bookshops where I live (oxford). You can always get it online at Amazon etc of course or ask the nearest shop to get it in for you (shouldn't take long). Julia

I just want to say the library is sending me hatemail because of how long I have had Dragonfly, but I'll deal because it is one of the best books I have ever read. When I'm not reading it, my mind is occupied in Ram and Tashi's world. I want to thank you for such an amazing book!

You must try Glass Swallow next! J

Emmi wrote on 24 May 2010:

I have read nearly all of your books and I have just finished reading The Glass Swallow! I loved the romance in it and at the end when it mentioned Ramil and Tashi I screamed so loud that my parents came running up the stairs! I think it was a brilliant idea to bring them back because I missed them soooo much! Also I'm glad to hear that they have a child (children?) now! Love and peace Emmi

Please send my apologies to your parents for giving them a scare! julia

Sabrina wrote on 15 May 2010:

The Glass Swallow was fantastic - it was so interesting to read a story that half carried on Dragonfly, and half was a completely different story! Also, the characters were really brilliant - they were all so clear in my minds' eye!
