Yey I have now read all of your books, and my favourite series is probebly Cat Royal although I really love dragonfly and glass swallow, and companions, and darcie lock, and all the rest of them too! I am currently reading through the cat royals yet again and they never get boring. I even lent my copy of the diamond of drury lane to my grandmother to read and she seemed to really enjoy it! Just goes to show that cat can be enjoyed by all ages I suppose! At the minute I am on Black Heart of Jamaica. I really hope that you are able to write some more soon particularly cat and darcie lock as deadlock was such a cliff hanger I can't wait to find out what will happen as a result of the ending! I would also love to see some more dragonfly and the glass swallow type books as they where really different to anything that I had read before and anything that I have found which is remotely similar to them has been no where near as good, I particually liked the cultures that you invented especially the cultures of the blue crescent islands where they believed that the women should be in charge! I also think that it's great that you take the time to talk to your fans and I regularly visit your website and I particually like cats QandA. Anyway thanks for all the great books and sorry for such a long message! Emily

Thanks for taking time to write, Emily. Julia

Dear Mrs. Golding I just barely got the chance to read your books, Cat O' Nine Tails and The Black Heart of Jamaica. I applauded you on your writing success. They are brilliant! I laughed at Cat O' Nine Tails so much and the Black Heart had a very interesting storyline. I give you all my support and hope you be able to finish this series. They really are a wonder! I will be getting the Cat's Cradle in the mail anytime soon, and can not wait! -Sarah F.

I hope you find a US publisher soon! Cat is one of my all time favorite fictional characters, and I simply ADORE her story. I really would love to hear the ending to her tale. :) Maybe I could find a used copy cheap... As of now the prices range from $20-$70 with shipping... So I guess I'd have to save up or wait until I can get it from the library! While I'm waiting I suppose I'll go reread the rest of the series! Thank you Ms Golding!

Wow - that's expensive! Have you tried Amazon Canada? Or The Book Depository in the UK (doesn't charge for shipping). Julia
