Julia Golding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia Golding (born March 1969) is a British novelist. Born in London, she grew up on the edge of Epping Forest. She originally read English at the University of Cambridge.[1] She then joined the Foreign Office and worked in Poland.[2] Her work as a diplomat took her many places including the Tatra Mountains and the bottom of a Silesian coal mine.[3]

Upon leaving Poland, she turned her attention to academic studies and took a doctorate in English Romantic Period literature at Oxford University.[1][2] 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.[2][3]

Golding lives in Oxford and works as a freelance writer. She is married with three children.[4] The Diamond of Drury Lane is her first novel, the first of the Cat Royal series. Also Julia Golding has written a series of four novels called The Companions Quartet.

In 2007 she was selected by Waterstone's as one of the 25 Authors of the Future.[5]

Golding also publishes under two pen names: Joss Stirling and Eve Edwards.[6]
