Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hi Mr. Coville!
I have super fond memories of the Nina Tanleven series. I went hunting for the books recently, and was so sad to see that there weren't many entries in the series. Have you ever considered bringing the series back?
Thank you so much for writing books that kept the desire to read burning in my mind. I can't wait to share the Nina Tanleven series with my nieces!

Hi, Fiona -
What a timely message! I started a fourth Nina Tanleven book about 25 years ago, but was never able to crack the plot, despite having written nearly half of it. Just about a month ago a friend challenged me to finish it, so I dug into my files and found what I had already written. To my happy surprise, it was pretty good. So I have made it a mission to complete the thing and send it out. I don't know if I can get a publisher to bite on a new book for a series that's 30 years old, but I am going to give it a shot! Thanks for confirming that this is a good idea!
