Wow, these books are incrediable! You are an inspiration to all your readers (including me). Your imagination and writing skills are to be admired by all. I have the 4th book on my bed side table ready to be read and I cant wait to find out what happens. I really think you should expand your ideas to give Connie and Col more adventures as I am sure it will make everyone happy. Including you hopefully. I tried to get into a few of your other books but they didn't suit me as much as these three (four tommrow!) I like to enjoy my reading and these books have been a few of the most amazing ones i have ever read, I really hope you reply to this on this website as I really want to hear your thoughts and views on hopefully countinuing the series or having them in a movie/t.v series. Katie x (Hi Katie, Did you try The Ship between the worlds? It's most like the quartet if you prefer fantasy to historical fiction. As you'll see from other emails, I'm thinking about Connie and Col but no plans to write more just yet. Julia)

It's really cool! All of the books are really exiting. Are you going to write any more? Please E-mail me back. I do spose that its the "Companions Quartet" but you cuold change that. Oh well, you probably won't. Never mind. Don't forget to E-mail! (Hi Joseph, I answer on line here so I hope you are reading this. Jury still out on whether I'll return to the Companions. Have you tried The Ship Between the Worlds? - It might keep you happy for the moment! Julia)

**spoiler alert** ive read the first 3 books and i love em,thier great,and when i finsihed the third book i was like 'awww i bet im gonna have to wait till like halfway thru next year for the next book' and i didnt want to wait that long,so then i said to myself 'well i might as well check the internet to see if theres any info on the release date' so i checked,and then i wa slike 'its already out!' i immediatly went to the library,all the copies were taken so i asked them to order it from another library,i cant wait to read it,and i desperatly hope for more books on the compainions quartet like mabye 'the companions sequel' XD,anyway i havnt read it yet but ive heared theres a new universal,if this is true then it would be cool to see connie train the new dude,id also like to see how argand grows up,and what new creatures connie meets(i dont know if its included in the 4th book,but if it isnt,shouldent there be pheonix's somewhere?). i think u could do so much more with this seiries,like fact books about the myth creatures, stuff like that and sequels,perhaps even a prequel(like the founding of the society,or all the society adults when they were being trained) i actully think u could make this seiries so popular that it will rival harry potter(it already is riviling it,and somehow harry potter doesnt rly give me the same exitement as this seiries does) anyway,bye!

Jessi Watson wrote on 08 November 2007:

i adored it, it's absolutely amazing, the entire series, i know you "said" it's the end of the quartet but PFT! secretely you want to continue, and should. *smiles* that was my subtle hint-ing way of asking you to continue the series!

Becca wrote on 05 November 2007:

**spoiler alert** wow i loved this book!!! its amazing, and col n connie are finally together!!! please write another book i really wanna keep reading these books! i still remember when i bought your first book, cos my class from highworth was at ottakers (waterstones now) in ashford cos you came to talk to us bout your books and you signed secret of the sirens for me! thanks you for writing such amazing books!

Deirbhile wrote on 05 November 2007:

HI!! I absolutly adored all your books and then you suddenly go and end it like that!! I think that it would have been better if you had let the story carry on a few more books maybe and I really wan to know if you are going to write another book because that is one more of my 3 favourite collection of books that has ended(the other one being Harry Potter and the 3rd one ending with the next book!) so could you please let me know when your next book is coming out so then I have something to look forward to!!!!!!!! (Hi Deirbhile, you should take a look at my other series - you might find something you like. If I wrote more about Connie and Col, I'd have to start off in a whole new direction. I'll think about it. Julia)

Kevin wrote on 05 November 2007:

Hi Julia, Can you please write another book? Thanks, KEvin:);) (Hi Kevin, No promises but you aren't the first to ask... Julia)

Hania wrote on 28 October 2007:

Hi:) This book was really awesome. I can't believe it was the last book though. Can't there be an extended version of The Campanions Quartet? Coz' the whole series is soooo cool with all those mythylogical creatures. I have never enjoyed the fantasy genre this much. How could it end? Nooooooooo!

nicola wrote on 24 October 2007:

love this book its amazing, why why why does this have to be thae last one? can't you write another series of what happens after?

Laura wrote on 22 October 2007:

Hi Julia, I really loved reading all of your companion books. I really relish the antisipation I felt throughout the day just waiting to pick them up and unravel the story held within them. Through out my day at school my mind was off dreaming of mythical creatures and what the next twist in this awesome story might be. I would rush home from school and as soon as possible stuff my nose into one of your awe inspiring narratives. My spine would tingle with delight and my excitment bubbled within me when I began to read those amazingly compiled words printed on the spell binding pages of your wonderful books. Thankyou for providing me with those heart lifting sessions of joyous reading! I hope that you do write more books on Connie's story, maybe you could title a new series; The Companions Quest, or something along those lines anyway. Thankyou Laura
