Hmmm... Just read, the "Cat Among the Pigeons" one... not bad, Julia. That is High Praise coming from her. You keep out of this. Excuse my "friend", Julia, no manners at all in him. Anyway, the library which is closest to my home only seemed to have that book, and no others in the series. And also has Mines of the Minotaur, the first book of yours I read. And that is all of you.
Strange - these are mid series books. I hope you can find the others. J

Hi Julia Golding. I'm a very fun of you. "The Diamond Of Drury Lane" was recommended to me by my english teacher(you see I'm Greek and I have to attend english lessons quite often). It was fantastic. It took me to the world of Cat royal. I'm still reading the first book(I'm before the epilogue). Just a minute ago, I saw that you've released 4 books with Cat royal! I'm sure I'll buy them. I like reading your books even if I'm not able to undestand every single word(I understand only 60% of the words but I like it). Keep writting! P.S: If you ask me if Johnny is my real name , yeah it is.
I also have some books in Greek - see the Companions Quartet! Julia

Hi, Julia. I recently grabbed the first Cat Royal book from the YA section at the library because it mixed two of my favorite things: Georgian England and a bit of the underworld! I was very happy to see that there were more books (not surprised either, as the local library either gets the first or last book in a series but not the rest, very annoying!). "Diamond of Drury Lane" was lots of fun and I really enjoyed it. Now I'll be on their backs about getting the rest of them...even if they look at me funny...since I'm 29! Haha. But, when you're writing a book, you're supposed to read everything in your genre, right? ...Right. ;) At any rate, I'll be buying the rest of the books as soon as I can (hoping they're available in the US, or if not, that they ship to Alaska!). Again, love this and will be recc'ing it to my bff's daughter, who is 12, and would enjoy them all immensely. :)
That's great - and you are never too old for Cat! J

Hi! I love your books especially the dragonfly series!The Cat Royal series is amazing too and me although I have yet to read the last ones in the series. I know this is terrible to ask but do you have any spoilers for upcoming books on your website or are you not allowed to publish them online? xxxsimxxx
Sometimes spoilers emerge when discussing later books with readers so be careful if you don't want to know how things end when, say, looking at the Chimera's Curse page. I don't put sample chapters up - publishers sometimes do on other sites as a promotional thing. Julia

Hi Mrs Golding, I was disapointed when I finished the Diamond of Drury Lame because i thought that it was the only Cat Royal book in the series as, my sister lent me it to read as she had got it for Christmas. Then as i looked up your books i was really happy to see that you had wrote more!! Thank you for writing them, they are all REALLY good. It was very surprising when Billy turned nice. ;) I wish I was as clever as Cat. Do you do competitons to like have a go at naming one of your Cat Royal books ..or something ? Thanks for reading____Lily x____
Yes, I do. If you call in at this site regularly you'll find new things flagged up on the home page. Julia

I love these books! I've read all of them, apart from Cat's Cradle, and they are all fantastic. Please hurry up and write another one, they are just so great!

Hi Julia! This is my FAVORITE book of the series (and I have read all of them so far except Black Heart) I love your books you are an AMAZING author!
Charlotte Swarbrick wrote on 01 December 2009:
Hi Julia! I'd just like to say I think you are an amazing writer, definetly one of my favourites!I love the Cat Royal books and I recently found myself enchanted by Ringmaster, Empty Quarter, and the Darcie Lock books. I love to read your books over and over because every time I read them I get thrills and sometimes find that I interpret your writing in different ways. For instance, something I read when I was, say, 11 I now think about differently because I am older. It's great! I love to write stories, but would you suggest to write short stories or novels? I have loads saved on my computer but most of them are in working progress. My mom says that I should finish them and get them published, but I don't know how to do that either! Could you give me some tips please? (Hi Charlotte, The apprenticeship for writing is as you describe - lots of attempts, some of which you never finish! But it may be good to look out for some writing competitions - these are usually short stories - as a way of getting your work read by professionals. Other tips are on FAQ page. Good luck. Julia)
