Hi i got a new book/Den of thieves. I got it after school,how long did it take you to do this one.

Hi Liam I think that probably took about a year - I went to Paris I remember to look at the various locations in the book. Julia

Hello Julia. You visited my school recently and it was very interesting to hear what you do as a writer. I love writing fiction stories! Also, I know 'The Glass Swallow' is set in Tashi and Ramil's world, but will there be an actual sequel to Dragonfly? It would be fantastic if you wrote one. Thanks alot!!!! :D Aimie

That's the sequel. J

Actually forget about the twins go all the way for the captain/Sidorio/Lorcan/Darcie(lock and flotsam) OH YEAH BEFORE I FORGET LADY LOLA LOCKWOOD TOO OK cool Julia although if i know the people in Hollywood they wont do anything until 2013 if your lucky Julia, and by then they may be bored of the idea, but lets just hope they don't. although since there is no comment section for the vampirates website im wondering if they will make those a movie (though probably not).

Sidorio Rocks (second only to kulervo) wrote on 12 March 2010:

Awesome i think i met him somewhere might've been a different author. i love his books not too mention Orson's books they are pretty cool. hm any other good recommendations for me on what books to read next on vamps/mythical creatures/legends/anything SF or stuff like that.

Seth wrote on 12 March 2010:

Dear Julia, Are you writing a fith book in the Companions Quratet, if not I hope that you do. Up above I saw that you were writing a new series, is it realated to the old series or is it completely new. If your not writing a fith book I hope that you are, because I need to know what happens to Connie and Col and many other things. Please write me back, Seth P.S. If you are writing a new book when is it coming out. I checked FAQ's its not there.

I don't know the date but it is about George and features Connie and Col too. J

Dorian Grey wrote on 11 March 2010:

instead of asking something im just going to recommend a good book. The Portrait Of Dorian Grey. Darcy Flotsam is always looking for her Mr. Flotsam just FYI or Common knowledge that you should know Vampirates series. here are some names in the Enders Game book series Julian Delphiki = Bean Andrew Wiggin = Ender Wiggin Han Tzu = Hot Soup Achilles = is not pronounced A-KILL-EEZE but is pronounced A-SHILL-EEZE Nikolai Delphiki = Beans brother Bonzo Madrid = Bonzo OK well so far that's all.(for now) :QUERY: Julia have you read or heard of any of these books? the authors are Orson Scott Card (Enders game series) and Justin Somper (Vampirates series). these books are all pretty big in the UK and all of Europe actually. But most likely you havent read the Vampirates one for it is for younger people like moi. Merci mon ami auteur. oops sorry i started typing in french well Cajun if i could type my own language. mein gott. Je pensais que je ne finirais jamais cela. oops there i go again. i said my god i thought i would never finish that letter, and i also said thank you my author friend first.

I know Justin and have read the first in his series. J

Ender Wiggin and Valentine Wiggin wrote on 11 March 2010:

i love your books julia!!! i wonder what i should make my third book about (i havent published my first 2 yet and im not planning on it yet).....(for the older group of kids i recommend the Enders Game series. it is a kind of tactical military type seies on the first one but it gets better. the 2 names i have on the top is Ender Wiggin, main character, and his sister.)

Sounds good to me. J

Lorcan Furey and Darcie Flotsam wrote on 11 March 2010:

what is julias site called? (i encourage all to read vampirates series if they like pirates, vampires, and/or orphans.)(my username thingy up on the top is 2 of the best characters in the book other than the tempest twins!)

Elsa wrote on 11 March 2010:

Hi! Why didn't you write more books of The Companions Quartet? I think a 5th book will be great.-Elsa

I'm contemplating a new series about George. J

crimson vampyre wrote on 10 March 2010:

the name darcie lock brings back fond memories of darcie flotsam(vampirates series FYI) is there going to be any discussion forum thingy's for the other books per say? per say i asked an important question.....i forgot what i was saying. oh yeah there is a rumour i heard that one way to know your an author is you talk to yourself....doesnt that mean you have MPD or your crazy? (FYI MPD = multi-personality disorder which is a type of obsessive compulsive disorder.):) concerned for my safety. CRIMSON SIGNING OFF.

Hi There are some fan fiction forums out there and other things. Some people chat across this site, but as I have to check every posting I'm trying not to handle too much! I don't talk to myself that much but I do think things through in my head - but that's just the imagination at work. Julia
