Love, love, loved Empty Quarter! It was incredible. Ordinarily I prefer books with slightly older lead characters, but with the Darcie books her age doesn't bother me in the least. I can't wait to read Deadlock. About how old is Stingo by the way? I was assuming maybe 25, but I didn't have any real reason for thinking that. (Late 20s. J)

i LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS, THAY ARE AMAZING AND I ENJOYED THEM A LOT! JUST WONDERING WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A WRITER AND IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER FAMOUS AUTHORS!!!!!!!!! (Telling stories is the inspiration - can't stop! I've met quite a few now - look out for my friend Cressida Cowell's book on film How to Train Your Dragon - see the trailer. Julia)

I really love your books-I've read most of them! But when does Deadlock come out or has it already come out because I've been looking for it but I can't find it. (Not yet - see FAQs. J)

Dear Julia! Brilliant! I have to admit, that I like it more than the first - sorry! The story changes on several points into a direction, I never expected! Waiting for the next Darcie Look adventure :-) Dirk

Hi! I read Ringmaster a while ago and didn't realize there was a sequel until a few days ago when I re-read it! I read EQ and it was really great! I'm really looking forward to your next book, and in the meantime I'm reading Dragonfly. I love your writing!

Andrea wrote on 24 July 2009:

I can't stop myself from reading this book over and over again! It's just so cool! I can't believe our library lost it's only copy of Ringmaster. And personally, I don't see what all the fuss about Deadlock's covers is about, what matters is what's between them. Your books rock even if the covers were shabby, torn apart and illustrated by a 2-year old with magic markers. I really can't wait for the next books to come out!

Love Ringmaster! It is a great book. Is Deadlock the sequel to Empty Quarter? I'm a bit confused. I cannot wait to read Empty Quarter, and some of your other series. (EQ is the sequel to Ringmaster, and Deadlock - not yet out - follows that. J)

Sasha wrote on 24 June 2009:

Hey iv read ringmaster and im half way through empty quarter and lovin it!!! When is Deadlock comong out??? So looking forward to it!!!! (No firm date as yet but in a year or so. J)

Hi it's me.....(again) My class just finished reading Empty Quarter and I have to say......it.......ROCKED!!!!!! I just wanted to ask you how did you get the idea of making a book in Egypt and about the presidents daughter????!!!!! Bye!!!! (Not sure - it was just a 'what if..' question: what if the president's daughter was off the rails etc. Julia)
