Companions fans - your space!

I have been thinking for some time of displaying some of the lovely images and examples of your own work that you send me.  I'll put up a selection on this page for fan fiction etc.  so if you'd like to submit some, you can use the comment box below.  Please keep your entry SHORT eg. a poem, a description, a spin-off storyline, maximum 300 words.  I will not have room for essays!!

If you want to send pictures, put a copy in the post to Oxford University Press and they will forward them on to me.  I won't be able to return them, but a photocopy will scan just fine.

How many books do you plan to write about the Sociey? Will there be a book after Water Thief?

I'm not sure yet. Working on a big new series (not companions) called Young Knights of the Round Table, out next year so that might be the next thing to look out for. It has many of the same kind of pleasures I think.

Hey Julia Golding, You are the best writer ever! And out of all the books I have read you are the best! I can't wait to read Water thief. I'm sure it will be a fav. But could you tell me. Does it have anything of Connie or Col in it. Thanks! Love all your books! Elizabeth,

A little but it is mostly about George and Malvin.

Julia Golding, you are one of my favorite authors, I'm so glad that I found The Companions Quartet! I'm going to tell all of my friends about it! I'm glad that I like to browse the library and picking books off of the shelf that have pretty covers... :) So anyway, One question, Is there another book after the Chimera's Curse??? A HUGE Fan, Alyssa

Yes, see Water Thief extract on this site.

I can't wait until water thief is published! Today I was re-reading all the books about universals and Connie because I've always loved them and I decided to look at your website for anything new. When I saw the new universals book I started getting really over excited! I couldn't believe it! I'm getting a kindle soon so I can't wait to read it! I've tried to companions tests too! What I really want to know (because it's been bugging me) is whether you unclude anything in water thief about Connie and Col's relationship ?! Laura :)

A little - but I left a lot to you all to imagine!

If only!

Hi there Julia! I'd firstly like to let you know how truly brilliant your books are - I read them years ago and still am never bored of them! As an aspiring actress, I was also wondering if there was any interest into buying film rights right now? Thanks so much, I'll keep on reading so long as you keep on writing :) Sara

Dear Sara, Thanks for the long term support! Two composers are seeing if they can turn Diamond into a stage musical but no films so far.

hi julia do you get some one to help you write the responses or do you do then yourself? im just wondering cos you seen really busy and ..

Just me - I spend an hour or so a day talking to you all.

elainie wrote on 19 January 2012:

I love your books especially the companions quartet. its not like other books ive read before because all the other books make the enermy sound really bad but in this series i find that kullervo does have a point because humans have done alot to destroy earth. while connie is also right because human should live on earth. I love your books im a huge fan!!! My favourites of the companions quartet are the mines of minotaur and the chimera's curse. I hope that you can write more of the companions quartet. have you ever thought about making the books into a movie before i think it could make a great movie!

Hi Elainie You've put your finger right on the point of the books for me - well done!

Cait wrote on 06 January 2012:

hi julia i looked up "the companions quartet" on youtube, expecting to find a trailer for the books but instead i found a really nice piano piece called "connie's theme" and it does remind me of her character a bit! i would advise any fans to check it out and listen to it for themselves. it's quite a beautiful piece! :) by the way i love your books and can't wait for "water thief"!!!!!

Great - I hadn't known that existed.
