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 Bruce Coville,
Hello, my name is Jack. so... are class just finished Goblins in the castle it was so fun to read and it is all because of your amazing writing skills. I have a couple of questions about the book and about you. first where did you get the idea to write Goblins in the Castle? Also who is your favorite character? mine is Herky! I made a Coloring of Herky that I am going to send you. My biggest question is are you going to make a sequel to Goblins in the Castle and if you do please tell me about it I would love to know! one more Question what is your favorite book that you have written?

Hi, Jack -

So glad to know that you enjoyed GOBLINS so much.

You asked about Herky. He was not part of my original plan for the book. But I got to a point where I needed an exciting chapter ending, and Herky came bounding into the story. Once he was there, he became so much fun to write about!

As to a sequel - though it was many years in coming, just this year I published GOBLINS ON THE PROWL. Herky is in it, and Igor of course. All the old gang is here. The big difference is that this time Fauna tells the story. And lets us in on her secret, which is a corker!
