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.

Dear Mr. Coville,
I have a couple questions for you! How did you come up with the plot of the story for Goblins in the Castle? Also, my favorite part is when Willam and Igor meet because they were maent to be friends!

Hi, Chloe -
Oh, it took me YEARS to come up with the plot for GOBLINS. I wrote the first draft of the book in 1977. Then, because it didn't work, I put it away for a long time. It wasn't until 1991 that I finally pulled it out again and figured out how to make it work!
