I have read the first two Cat Royal Books and could never put them down when I read them. I am finding it hard reading at the moment because everything seems so boring and badly written compared to your books. The Cat Royal books seem to be the only thing I can enjoy reading and want to read in spare time. I NEED to get the next book. I am a book worm (some people in my class even call me this as a nickname) and I usually enjoy almost all books. Horror, fantasy or twisted fairy tales but at the moment the Cat Royal Books are the only thing to me. I want to be an author when I am older. I am currently 11 but I am almost sure it is right for me to do. In school I do best in maths getting a 5A in my Sats in Year 6 but my favourite lesson is English. I write stories in all the spare time I have and you and your books are my biggest insperation. Sorry this isn't a message asking for you to come to my school but I really want you to personally get this Julia Golding so you know what a good author and role model you are to me. I hope you reply, Eve

Hi Eve If you can persuade your school to invite me, there is information about how to do it on this site. Keep on writing! Julia

Julia, Every year I go to the Edinburgh Book Festival and a few years ago when you were there I missed you by 1 weekend! I was wondering if you had any plans to make another trip or if you were doing any books signings in the Yorkshire area. Miles away from Edinburgh I know... Thankyou so much Elle

Hi I was in York in February and will be in Edinburgh 22 August. Any good? Julia
