Dragonfly & The Glass Swallow
Dragonfly
Princess Taoshira is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil ac Burinholt in order to unite their lands. And Ramil's not too pleased either. They hate each other on sight.
So when she and Ramil are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape - either from their kidnappers or from each other.
Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their extraordinary adventure - including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies and the best female fighter they have ever seen - help them or betray them to the enemy..?

The Glass Swallow
Rain
She designs exquisite stained glass for the windows of her city. But the law is clear — it is forbidden for girls to be part of the glassmaker's guild. To keep her secret hidden, she leaves home and travels to the strange new country of Magharna.
Peri
When he witnesses Rain's capture by a gang of bandits, both his fate and his heart becomes tied to hers. They escape the outlaws, but Peri and his family of falconers are untouchables who are scorned by all, and Rain is not allowed to be part of their lives.
Can Rain and Peri's love survive the prejudices against them? And with the city on the brink of disaster will they be able to stop their world from smashing apart?

*****spoiler alert***** I NEVER WANT THIS BOOK TO END!!!! I really thought that Ramil and Tashi would get together but I didn't know Ramil could be so romantic.... it made Tashi seem more emotional and with herself, which was great!! PLEASE WRITE MORE DRAGONFLY BOOKS!!! I'M SAD THAT TJIS ONE ENDED. WRITE LIKE A TRILOGY OR QUARTET!!(Quartet's better, more Dragonfly books and adventures of Tashi, Ramil, Melletin, Yelena, Gordoc and Proffesser!)

i've finished it!! i love it! although the bits with Ramil and tashi were a bit...lacking i mean one minute they hate each other the next their friends and then they love each other! theres hardly any moments when just those two are alone to get to know each other...kinda disapointment for the romance section.....

Hi Julia. Will there be a sequel to Dragonfly? (No plans. I think it ends at the right point, though there would be scope to returning to that world at some stage. J)
Caroline wrote on 17 April 2008:
Hey Julia, I've read 8 of your books. Going to read Mines of the Minotour soon and Chimeras Curse, along with Ring master and Empty Quater. Anyway this book looks amazing!!! I want to read this as soon as possible. Just one question.....How do you get all of these ideas??? (How to stop having ideas is more my problem... J)

How did you get inspired for this book? (I liked the idea of the clash of religions and cultures. J)

Hi Julia I'm a bit confused about when Dragonfly is coming out. I asked the lady at our book shop when it was coming out and she said it wasn't until may!!! Is that right or has she got it wrong? Thanks! Lizzie (See answer to Caroline below. J)

I hope you don't think it was rude of me to ask by the way! (meaning my last comment!) I'm just curious! Thank you
Esther wrote on 08 April 2008:
Hi Julia. I was just wondering why did you call the book 'Dragonfly'? Is there a particular reason or did you just like the name? Thanks Esther (It's Tashi's symbol. J)
