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.
My favourite book of yours is Goblins in the Castle. My favorite part is when Igor goes BOP, bop, bop, at the end of the book. I also like when Herky jumps on William. I would like to read more of your books. I also have 2 questions 1: are you going to make a sequel to goblins in the castle? if so when? Question number 2: how long does it take you to make a book?

Hi, Joshua -
I have already made a sequel - though it took me more than twenty years to get around to it. It's called GOBLINS ON THE PROWL.
As to your second question: There is no real answer to how long it takes to make a book. Every book has its own time and rhythm. I wrote the first version of GOBLINS in 1977 - but it didn't work and I put it aside for a long time. I finally figured out how to make it work 14 years later!
