Julia Golding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julia Golding is a British novelist.
Golding grew up on the edge of Epping Forest. She originally read English at the University of Cambridge. She then joined the Foreign Office and worked in Poland. Her work as a diplomat took her many places including the Tatra Mountains and the bottom of a Silesian coal mine.
On leaving Poland, she exchanged diplomacy for academic studies and took a doctorate in the literature of the English Romantic Period at the Oxford University. She then worked for Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the United Nations and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones.
Golding is married with three children. She lives in Oxford and works as a freelance writer. The Diamond of Drury Lane is her first novel. More recently Golding has written Secret of The Sirens, the first of a series of four novels called The Companions Quartet.
