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..?
Buy this book in Julia Golding's shop
Coming soon...
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?

I am writing a book a bit like this one cos it inspired me so much!! Thank you for writing this! Is the sequel going too be called Swallow? (After much debate, we settle on The Glass Swallow. J)

I AM TRULY YOUR NO.1 FAN I HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR BOOKS (UNFORTUANTLY NOT WOLFCRY YET BUT IM GETTING THAT SOON AS I CAN FIND IT) WERE YOU GOOD AT LITERACY AND READING WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER ? IM TERRIBLE BUT WANT TO BECOME A GOOD AUTHOR HAVE YOU GOT ANY TIPS? (We didn't do literacy quite like they do now, but I was good at English because I enjoyed it so much. Still doesn't stop you being an author though, as that is about being able to tell a good tale. Sally Gardner, for example, struggled with dyslexia and didn't think she could write a coherent sentence, let alone a book and look at her! Julia)

Bought your book "Dragonfly" at the Hay Festival Bookshop (mainly because the girl on the cover looks a bit like me) and instantly loved it! Can't wait to read more of your books. Sometimes I really feel like I have to wear the emotionless mask of Tashi's world, even if I long to be as free and "uncouth" as Prince Ramil. I really think this book would make a great movie - the sooner the better! (hopefully before I'm too old to play Tashi lol) I hope your event at this festival isn't sold out because I really want to go now :D I'll see you there if I can! - A new fan, Siobhan

hi, its me again! im stuck on my book...do you think its possible to have a desert island in between dover and calais in france? there doesnt need to be a real one, it could be unknown...but do you think its possible? it had better be, because thats the main part of my book... (No desert islands but there are the Channel Islands and there are some small ones like Sark that you might look up. Julia)

will the new characters in swallow be ramil and tashi's children, or other people? (You will see... J)
darshana wrote on 03 May 2009:
hi julia! this book inspired me to write my own! if my book ever gets published (and i hope it will!) should i put my real name on the cover or a pen name? I really want to put my real name on there, but i dont want loads of people following me and stuff, so what do you think i should do? thanks! darshana xxx (I wouldn't worry too much - writers are pretty obscure. I use a pen name if you are interested in knowing what I do. Julia)
