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.

Hello, Mr. Coville!
I've been a fan for ages, but have never found your delightful website until today. Though I've read many of your books, the "Aliens Ate My Homework" series will forever be my favorite. I can still picture myself in 3rd grade, finding them on the library shelf, and subsequently checking them out many times. In high school I spent hours recording my own audiobook of the first installment, and just gifted myself a new boxed set this past Christmas. (I wanted to re-read the rest of the series, and was dismayed to discover that NONE of the nearby libraries had them! Some good came of my search, however, as their catalog introduced me to your work with audiobooks, and I enjoyed both an old favorite, "Half Magic," and discovered a new one: "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel." The Full Cast model is such a great idea!) In short, thank you for the part you have played in both infusing my childhood with imagination, and continuing to inspire me now as an adult. I have 2 young boys, and I can't wait to share Rod's adventures-- and many others!-- with them when they are ready.
Best wishes,
Carolyn

Hi, Carolyn -
Many thanks for this. I love hearing from folks like you, who have carried a love for my books into adulthood with them.
Also glad that you enjoyed the Full Cast Audio productions. I somewhat short-circuited my writing career by diverting so much time to audio production, so it's good to know that people are listening. I have a special fondness for HALF MAGIC because (1) I loved it as a kid and (2) it was the only time I got to play the romantic lead!
All best,
BC
