Heeeey i'm Angela (obviously) and I really love your books! I am going to start reading Black Heart of Jamaica as soon as I can find a copy. Do you know where I could get one? I live in Canada. Anyways I am so syched to find out what happens with Syd and Cats relationship! I hope they get together. I've actually written my own little story on a website called fanfiction. You chose the book you want and then you write a story using those characters but with a different storyline. My storys about 20 chapters long and I cant wait to actually finish it and put it up on the website! (Sounds fun! You should be able to get the UK edition of Blackheart in Canada - might have to order it in though. Julia)

I think Cat should wait to make her decisicion if she got together with Syd there'd be no excitment in her life because he wouldn't let her join the gang or anything like that probably. But Billy is a bit of a fiend!

Hi, by the way, u r a gr8 author. I was just wondering, is Cat supposed to be pretty, because we get different points of view on this! Also, are Frank and Charlie going to be in Cats Cradle, cause they are my fav characters! Sorry for all the questions1 (Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...)

Hi Julia Golding, I love your books, out of all the books I've read yours are my top series by far!

I love these books so much and while I've been waiting for Cat's cradle I've got into Darcie Lock, Drangonfly and Companions, so at least there's a postitive to the delay. I would LOVE it if Syd and Cat got together he is so sweet to her and I love the way he takes care of her and her it wouldn't mean an end to her adventures cos he could go with her and being with him in a relationship would be an adventure in itself! Cant wait for Cats cradle. Is it set in London? I hope so i love the London ones ( as well as the ones abroad). Thank you xxx (There's an extensive section in London so hopefully you'll really enjoy it. J)
