Hey Julia. Can you tell me what order the books come in and The Middle Passage, is it a real book or is it just one you wrote because you thought of the idea? If it is part of the series where does it come in. Love your books so much. Please, please, please, please keep on writing cat royal books. I really relate to the character. If I was born in the 1790's I would be cat royal. I am the cat of the 21st centuary. Also are you ever going to make a film of the books. If so, please let me be cat! I already act sometimes! Thanks for being amazing. Thanks soooo much for existing, Lots of love from one of your best fans, Kate. Xxx (Sayonara! :D)
MP comes between Blackheart and Cradle and is a free little story to download. The order is listed correctly on this site. Have fun with Cat!

Julia I love your books and I can't put them down (I probably should sleep more though:)) I am on cat's cradle but I want to know where I can get the next book. PLEASE tell me that you're going to write more about Cat, I LOVE her and can't wait to know what will happen. My friend are ALWAYS Telling me That im a Great writer (not a Touch on you though) and you're an amazing writer and you know just how to write to all ages AND sexes. Please will you tell me when this is coming out in shops as I MUST know where I can find it. Thank you Xxx
Hi Mia The barrier is not with me (see FAQs). I'll have to think of a way of getting some of the gossip to you all. Julia

Hi Julia! Happy New Year! For my birthday (a couple of weeks ago) I got Cat's Cradle and I am loving it! When I'm older I really want to be an author so I just wanted to know how you get your inspiration for characters, settings and events? I can't wait to finish Cat's Cradle and find out what happens in Scotland!
I went to Scotland and visited the places in the book (and stayed in the tower house) - that gave me the ideas.

Hi Julia, I'm 14 and started reading your Cat Royal books when I was 10/11 after I found TDODR in a little book store! I just wanted to say that I hate how most of your fan base are female, when your fab stories are so unisexual! I hope you keep writing about Cat Royal, love from 'A Male Fan' PS: I was in Oliver at Drury Lane, and it was amazing reading the books, and recognising little things that you mentioned, our dressing room was near where I think Sparrow's Nest is! Xx
Thanks so much. You might like to know that I have two boys at home (and one girl) so for me my books definitely have a boy readership in mind. Love the Drury Lane note - I've not been backstage - just imagined it!

Dear Julia Golding, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your books! I cant stop reading them . Ive read all of them up to Black Heart of Jamaica. I cant seem to find Cats Cradle or The Middle Passage anywhere in the library or bookstores. Please respond quickly so i can get started on them.
Hi You can download MP for free and buy Cat's Cradle in my shop on this site (links to Amazon). Julia

Hey ,Julia. I love the books you wrote about Cat Royal. I just want to know if you would write more books such as "The Middle passage'.I also want to know why this book can't be found in libraries in Singapore or any country and only exist on ebook? I can't wait for books thatyou wrote about Cat Royal. Please write on. We are all supporting you.
That's because it was a free story for you all and only ever intended as a download.

Can i order this book off of Amazon? Thanks Constanza
As an ebook yes (see my shop above). As paperback, soon - it is about to be listed. Might be cheaper to order it directly though the link I give.

Elly wrote on 08 October 2011:
Thanks I love the books they're my favorite books! Which book comes first: cats cradle or middle passage? Please let me know soon as I have just read cats cradle before middle passage & am now very confused as it is listed in 2 different ways on this site! Love the books thanks, Elly <3 :D
Middle Passage is not a 'proper' book as it is just a novella and only available online. It comes before Cat's Cradle. J

hello julia how are you ? hope your fine. You are such a good writer i love reading cat royal books, my best friend introduced me to the books and were both addited to the them.We always talk about it at school and our friends never now what were talking about. We think frank and cat should be together they are perfect match. Please make more books. What happens to cat? Does she get married? Does the Drury Lane open again? please reply love Izzy
Hi In the history books you'll see that Drury Lane does reopen after the rebuilding work. I can't tell you Cat's future because that is for the books! J

Hi julia!I love cat soooooooooooooo much you are my new favorite author and if i could be anyone from a book/movie it would definatly be cat!I know you probably have a ton of people asking you this but (even though i dont really like my name) i am definatly going to read this entire series and would be completely extremely positivly amazed if you could possibly use my name in one of your books, but i understand if you cant or dont want to.
Thanks! No film plans just yet. J

Hi Julia! I love your books! I just finished Cat o' Nine Tails but I cant find the next books anywhere. I was just wondering if you were going to write any more Cat books after this one, because even though I havent read this yet, I know I will be so sad if its the last one!I know the series has to end somewhere, but I dont want it to!
Hi, Yes I have. Are you in the US? The later ones aren't published there but you can see them on this site and in my UK shop. Julia
