Cat o’Nine Tails
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.

Ms. Golding, Cat Royal is one of the most amazing, fun loving characters I have ever read. I am a real book worm, but just reading this series has moved me in a way I have never felt before. Cat is like a best friend to me. I am not very popular at my school, but just reading your series has made me feel that I don't need any. When Cat cried, I cried. When Cat felt scared, I felt scared. I almost feel... like she is a part of me... I have not yet read Black Heart of Jamaica but I can not wait to. Please keep up the good work and can't wait to read the rest of your books. P.S. Billy Boil needs to get a life!!!! (Hi Natascha, I'm glad you've enjoyed and been moved by Cat's adventures. I have a great time writing them. Popularity at school is a fickle thing - I remember feeling very unpopular and friendless in my last year at primary school but it changed later on as I went through Secondary and University. Nothing lasts for ever and you'll meet new people who share your interests, I'm sure. Perhaps even another Cat fan. Julia)

Hi Julia These are the greatest books i have read. I know u might find this anoying but please get Syd and Cat toghter!!! please give a hint on the Black Heart of Jamaica. I think out of U, J. K. Rowling and Michael Morpurgo. Ur the best keep writhing loads more books! Alice (Hi Alice, great praise indeed. Ah - yet more pleas for hints but I can't spoil the surprise. One little thing - there's much more theatre in Black Heart. Cat's back to her roots in some ways. Julia)

Hi Julia, Just wondering how many Cat books you are planning on writing? I love all the characters so much except Billy Boil and Hawkins, I love Syd so much. Your books make me both laugh and cry please don't stop writing them. (There will be nine I think Julia)

Well what can I say I think everyobody would love to live the life of Cat Royal! I think that you are THE MOST BRILLIANT author ever (and believe me, I have read many, many books!) and your wit and plots brings tears to the eyes and a smile to the face. When I leave school (which is a long way off :(, I would love to write books like yours...thank you for making me want my dream even more, your books are spectacular! Hermione xxx
Daisy Jordan wrote on 30 August 2007:
I think these books are a brilliant read! When it's raining and boring in Oxford, I can imagine I'm not the only one reading your books! xxx (Boring in Oxford? Surely not! Why not read Northern Lights and find all the places - go to the weird museums and spot the objects that inspired Pullman. See if you can find my Connie's reading room (from The Gorgon's Gaze) - there's a building here that gave me the idea. But thanks for being a fan :) Julia)
