Dear Julia, On the companions quartet website the thing where you choose your companion isn't working because in the secret of the sirens in the back of the book it says you get little fun things but when you complete the quiz it just says thankyou. Help! (Hi The book was launched in 2006 and the scheme ran until 2009 but the publishers had to end it at some point - sorry! Books have a longer life than these little promotions. Any reprint won't have that info in it. I've run out of the membership packs myself. Julia)

U no, We think Julia should write about Connie's new cousin in the next books. Connie goes missing and he feels he must save her, even tho he's not a member of the Society yet. He follows Col and finds out everything. Can they work together to save Connie from the new evil nemesis?

Hey Connie! That was a great poem you wrote. The topic and setting were awesome;it really inspired me.

Chapter 2. Testing. Mae dismounted. A woman came toward her. The only surprising thing about her was her flowing blue hair. Light blue. "Hello." Mae said, unsure of what else to say. "Greetings. I hear you are here to have your test for the Society." "Yes. So, what is this test anyway." "It's rather simple, but I suppose you'll be rather confused. I know I was!" She laughed a laugh that sounded like a waterfall. "Now. Just stand in the middle of this circle." Mae stepped into the middle of a circle. "Looks like a compass." The lady laughed again. "Very astute of you. It is supposed to be a compass. Rather hard to do with grass." "I bet." The lady put a crystal on the point that symbolized north, a sparrow at east, a lizard at south, and a mouse at west. "Now what do I do?" Mae asked. "Stand with your hands out, palms up, and face each in turn." Mae faced the crystal as the lady said. It glowed. The lady jotted it down. Mae faced the sparrow. It flew onto Mae's shoulder. The lady jotted it down. She faced the lizard. It jumped into the air. The lady jotted it down. Mae faced the mouse. It chattered and went from side to side. "How unusual. Mae, I believe you may be a Universal." Come back tomorrow for chapter 3, Trustees.

Chapter 1. Journey. Mae Belden walked toward the stable. Today she would be tested for the mysterious "Society". Mae was a Yellowstone girl, through and through, and felt anything that would protect the animals would be quite worth all this mystery. She took her mare, Goldie out of the stall. If anyone had seen the girl they would have been surprised by her not putting any tack on the horse. Seeing her ride, however, would make them feel quite reassured that Mae was an expert rider, heading for the forest at a trot. When Mae entered the forest, the reassurance would disappear, had anyone seen her. Of course, no one had ever seen. Mae whispered to Goldie, "Now we'll have some fun." And set off at a roaring canter through the woods. Goldie then gave a wild whinny. To Mae, however that whinny was "Time for tricks!" Mae stood on the swift palomino mare. She lifted her leg high. And while at a trot this is rather fun for an experienced rider, at a canter it is considered far too dangerous, especially in the woods. Any worried spectator would have run to help the girl up after she suddenly disappeared, believing she had fallen. The horse seemed to have come to that conclusion, stopping and running back. When Goldie arrived at that spot, Mae landed on her back. "Fools you every time." Mae whispered, surprising Goldie. "We're going to be late." The horse replied. "I know, I know. Lake said the same thing." "Why don't you let Lake make sure you don't do any tricks to make you late?" "All right." Mae agreed sulkily. "Lake!" she shreed. An eagle landed on Mae's shoulder. The girl and eagle on the horse cantered toward the place Mae had been told to go. Mae and Lake had a nice conversation. Then Goldie stopped. They had arrived. Stop by tomorrow for chapter 2, Testing!

I love the books you wrote.my favorite is about connie and col. I would like to hear your opinion on this weird poem I wrote. Life has meaning still I ponder to understand it.For as the great wind blows where will it stop? When will I leave? Life as no meaning to us who don't understand life or joy.Iwait for the tide to come in.For a child's present to arrive.For the frost to stop burning down the crops.To the mountains who look like giant swaying trees.I bid that life as to do much unless you found hope. (Hi I'm not much of a poet but that prose poem reads very vividly. Julia)

Yohoo! Ive written somehting to you before but I really cant help but to write to you more and more! ^^ I was wondering.. how does Connie and Col look? Im trying to get a picture of them in my mind but its kind of fading away, Ive decided that I want to become an author just like you Julia! ^^ oh.. and.. Have a good day :D (Best and earliest descriptions are at the beginning of the first book. Julia)

And you should Defently think about making them into a film-x Jess x

heya - i LOVE the companions quartet - i'm reading the last one now and i reeeeeeeealy want Col to ask connie out :) i know its kinda cliche but i still think it would be really cool! although aren't they technically cousins? oh well :) i also think they would make wicked movies - waaay better than something like twilght :) i really don't want this book to end - if only there were more!! :) (Not cousins by blood only by marriage so there's no problem. J)

A little message from a german fan (in german): Hallo Mrs Golding! Ihre Bücher sind einfach toll! Ich liebe sie und es sind meine Lieblingsbücher! Es wäre schön, wenn sie noch ein Buch schreiben würden. Vielleicht, Connie's Tagebuch. Da könnten dann alle Erlebnisse der letzten vier Jahre noch mal aus Connie's Sicht erzählt werden. Genauso aber auch, was in der Gegenwart passiert. Wie zum Beispiel, dass Col bei den Weltmeisterschaften mitfliegt und noch andere solche Sachen. Auch ist das Potenzial der Bücher einfach gigantisch! Wenn diese Bücher verfilmt würden, kann man nur ein super Ergebnis haben!!! (Hi - I don't speak German so I hope this is polite! Greetings to you all in Germany. Julia)
