HI I love this the other companions, cat royal and dragonfly I was wondering if this was a one off or a new series?? L

As you can see I write quite a lot and and always have ideas for more - the issue is time! I'm not working on another at the moment but the ideas keep bubbling up.

I was wondering if you were thinking of restarting the Companions Club. You've written in the FAQ you may return to it, and Water Theif has been out for a while. Thank You Katrina

I'm doing a new series with OUP next year so I don't think I'll be able to restart the club as well (they ran it last time). The new series is called Young Knights of the Round Table and should be fun for Companions fans.

Have you seen Water Thief?

Elisa wrote on 24 March 2012:

Okay, I am seriously MIA right now. I had no idea that you were continuing Companions! Anyhow, is it true you can only get the Water Theif and the Companions Quartet on Amazon? Because I went to Barnes and Nobel last week to get the Chimera's Curse, and they said the publisher had been bought by Amazon and they couldn't sell it there. Then I went to Half Price Books and they didn't have it, and that sentance was pretty irrelevant. (Sorry, I have distraction issues.) Sorry about that. So does George have big jealous moments of Connie? Like, those moments that turn you terribly evil, and you want to kill things, and then you're all horribly twisted up inside, forever emotionally scarred? Again, my apologies. I'm a rambler. Big time. I also want to be an author when I grow up. Do you have any advice for me? I'm sorry if this is overwhelming, or too long.

Hi Elisa You can get Water Thief as a download or a paperback version through an online print-on-demand service (just follow the link). I published myself so it isn't anything to do with the Amazon take over of Marshall Cavendish.

Hi there, I absolutely loved the companions quartet. Is the water thief out in the USA yet?

Heya Julia! I'm just messaging you to ask if someone could be a Companion to any mythical creature from any countries folklore or legends? Thank you very much for writing these wonderful books! Yours sincerely, Sophie

Yes, that's the idea of the local chapters.

Hello! I have just bought the Water Thief, and am looking forward to reading it. I was just wondering whether this will be a new series or a sequel by itself? In any case, loved the original series and i'm sure I will love this one too!

Hi I'm not sure - it will depend how many I sell! It is a complete story but with possibilities for a sequel. Julia
