Hello Mrs Golding,
my sister and I fell in love with your writing reading the Savant Series. I like the writing style, the stunning stories, which all are special and different, and I specially like the amazing characters.
Now I discovered you are a former Britisch diplomat and Oxfam policy adviser, which impresses me as I want to become a diplomat. However, that’s not the point right now, what I wanted to say:
Thany you for your books and the wonderful hours they bestowed on me!
All the best!
Thank you so much!
Hi,
I really love so many of your series, but my favourites will always be the Cat Royal books, and I was just wondering if there were any plans to release any more?
Hi
The long awaited musical is looking like it might come out in the next year or so and I hope that will give me a chance to rekindle interest in Cat and do the next book. Best wishes
Hola
Amo tus libros y me cautivaron muchísimo la saga Finding love y me preguntaba si ¿harías algún otros libro sobre esta saga? ya que me quede esperando la historia de Víctor
sigue así, eres una de mis escritoras favoritas
Hi Diana
Yes, I have lots of other books. Take a look around this site. You’ll find out more about Victor in Summer Shadows.
Hola
En serio que sus libros son hermosos, son de esos libros que no puedes dejar de leer, pero a la vez no los quieres terminar. A mi me encantan la saga de Finding Love, quisiera saber si los títulos como Zed o los demás estarán publicados en físico.
Hi
The best place to go for you is the V&R website that has my books in Spanish – lots of them, including another series called Peril.
Will we be seeing any new books to the savant series? I’ve re read them so many times would love a new addition!
Thankyou
Not at the moment but you never know!
Hi, I love your Savant series. Thank you!
