My journey to becoming an author has been a roundabout one, taking in many other careers. I grew up on the edge of Epping Forest and was that dreamy kind of child who was always writing stories.

It wasn't seen by me as the last. I have the last planned and am waiting my chance (that means renewed interest from a publisher). At the moment the interest is low, but if the musical of The Diamond of Drury Lane gets the green light soon, then that might change.(less)

Quotes by Julia Golding (?)

“Ramil met Tashi's eyes with a mischievous look. "Now Wife we have a long voyage ahead of us with no interruptions, no affairs of state to sidetrack us." He brushed his fingers againist the lacings of her neck. "Isn't it time you returned that shirt to its owner?”
― Julia Golding, Dragonfly

“And as Prince Ramil has insulted you by choosing another wife than the one you proposed for him, you'll want to cast him out too," she suggested slyly.
"Oh, undoubtedly," murmed Ramil. "Do cast me out.”
