Empty Quarter

Empty Quarter

Nominated for the Carnegie Award 2009

Darcie's stuck aboard a cruise ship for problem rich kids. It sounds exotic but it’s more like boot camp. Things are about to get interesting though... Darcie becomes embroiled in a kidnapping plot that will take her from Naples, via Cyprus, to Egypt and on a terrifying journey through the desert empty quarter.

An adventure-thriller starring Darcie Lock.

I have been busy reading a lot of books lately, but having received a kindle for Christmas, I might consider downloading this! I have already read the first one, and it was pretty good. :)

hi Julia, I am a huge fan and I love your books. me and my friend were wondering if there would be a forth book in the series any time soon??????

Hi. I'd love to write one but I'd need to find time in my busy writing schedule and know I'd get a return on the time invested (that means enough downloads). Julia

You want more Hugo? he is appalling isn't he?

Hi! I reieved Deadlock for Christmas and read it in about 3 hours straight - I could not wait to see what happened! Since then I've read it a lot more, along with the other 2 in the series. This is one of my favourite series, I love it so much! A fourth Darcie book would be AMAZING. :) Katie

Thank you so much for making the first Darcie Lock an e-book and at such a great price ;) I've been wanting to read it. When will the second book be release as an e-book? Sorry, I'm sure someone's already asked you that but I couldn't find the answer. I just can't wait to read it!

Just done it - in time for Christmas! You'll find it in my shop and that takes you to Amazon UK or US.

I have just this moment done so ;) If you follow the link from my shop I get a little bit extra from the megalith of Amazon. Julia

Sophie wrote on 18 December 2011:

I read ringmaster while on holiday in Kenya and loved it, I could really relate to everything in the book and I finished the whole book in 2 days and then re-read it again and again. Then as soon as we got back from the airport I went straight to the libary to return ringmaster and was thrilled to learn that there was another book after that. I haven't deadlock yet, but am looking forward to seeing what happens to Darcie Lock in this one!

Good choice of holiday reading!

Katie wrote on 05 December 2011:

Hi! I've just seen the link for Deadlock on the home page, however i've also seen it on amazon (with a differant cover) saying it comes out next year. I'm a bit confused by this! :( Can't wait to read it! :) Thanks :)

Ignore the Amazon one - it should have been taken down. Go with what's one my page. Julia

nicole wrote on 08 November 2011:

can you put all your darie lock books on kindle because i have one and i have read your first darice lock book but there is only the 3rd one on there i cant wait to read the next one. from nicole

Yes, that's the plan. I'm even thinking of doing Ringmaster FOR FREE over Christmas as a little present to you all!

S wrote on 03 November 2011:

I'm wondering, since it is inconvenient for me to buy the book online, whether Deadlock is ever likely to be published as a conventional book?

Yes, follow the link on the home page for the paperback version.

I LOVE your books!You are my favourite author out of all the authors i've heard of(which is saying something, i'm a TOTAL books fanatic!). By the way, do the darcie lock books come out in the UK at the same time in Australia?

Yes, they should do. Julia

Hi, just wanted to say these are amazing books. I absolutely love the cat royal series too. Can't wait for the third book to come out. I've ordered every single one of your books from the library and can't wait to read them. I so hope Darcie will see Kassim again.

Deadlock is coming out as an ebook soon. If you send me your email, I can send you an alert when it is posted on Amazon. Julia
