Cat o’Nine Tails

Cat o'nine tails book cover

His Majesty's Ship Courageous this present day calls all able bodied volunteers who desire great honour by serving the Royal Navy. Loyalty, courage and gallantry will be met with the warmest encouragement from Commander of the King's ship, Captain Barton. Early applications for the voyage are welcomed as Courageous will sail with immediate despatch. God Save the King.

Presenting the fourth volume from our famous feisty heroine Cat Royal... In which Cat becomes an unlikely recruit for the British Navy, takes passage to America and navigates her way through a fiendish plot to do away with Lord Francis, heir to a dukedom. From the grand Assembly Rooms of Bath to the wilds of a new frontier, Cat finds she is for once quite out of her depth. All aboard, Cat's going abroad.

Julia, I absolutley adored this book! I love the Cat royal series! I've probably read them all at least 10 times each! :) Unfortunatley, Black Heart of Jamaica isnt available in the US yet :( But it just makes me more anxious to read it, and I know I'll enjoy the book so much when I read it! I'm 100% sure it will be worth the wait because I truly believe that all your books are amazing and that you are a very talented author!I love all of your novels (in every series I've read) and I am so excited to read the rest of your stories! Keep writing! Have a peaceful summer- HANNAH M.

And you, Hannah. J

Hi! I love this series! I've just finished the entire series for the sixth time! Cat is such a good heroine- she's really realistic, and likeable, because she isn't good ALL THE TIME. I think if Cat ever did have a 'romantic involvement' with any of the characters it should be Frank, because Syd and Pedro are like brothers to her and Billy... well, Billy's just plain evil. Again; I LOVE THIS SERIES!

The bit where Billy kisses Cat is this book is CREEPY!! I always thought there was some hidden affection... No normal person should have such a fixsation asd he has for Cat... Dear Cat... BE WARNED!

I think Cat + Frank would be PERFECT together but Cat shouldn't be a housewife. They should travel the world together. It would be awesome!

Hi I love yiur books sooo much I have read the whole series in less than a month, but I live in Australia so the books are very hard to come by. Will Cats Cradle come out in August in Australia like it will in England or should I get my aunt to send it to me. I really can't bare to wait to August to read the next book is it the last? Is there any where I can read the first chapter of Cats Cradle. My favourite characters are Syd and Cat. Will Cat ever see Pedro again? Will Syd and Cat fall in love? so many unanswered questions I NEED to know the answers please reply to me I know you probably wont but please do love Jessie :)

See FAQs. Australia is usually a month or so later to allow for shipping. J

Cat is just being paired off. She said it herself, She confused about it all. She should ignore them. I think it'll make a great movie. I'd love to play Cat. Thanks for writing them there amazing!!!!X

I loved this book!! Where did you get the Native American history?

From a number of places, including a book called 'In the hands of the Great Spirit' Jake Page. the clan is real (though I've invented many of the characters of course). Julia

at the ball why was billy introduced at william (Billy is a shortening for William.)

dani wrote on 26 February 2010:

in this AMAZING book i get the impression that frank has feelings for cat and i HOPE SO they are sooooo perfect for each other! im sorry syd fans but he is sooo wrong for her all he will ever be able to see cat as is a helpless little kittten in need of protecting which she certainly isnt shes a strong willed cat who can fight for herself and besides he is much more like a brother to her

Teague wrote on 17 February 2010:

Your books are amazing, and I'm sure they would make the most amazing movie series! Cat is the most adventurous and intelegent heroine in any book series I've ever read! If Cat ever does find herself a "boyfriend" I hope it's Syd! Thank you for writing such an amazing series. "Break a Leg" on your next book!
