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. Bruce Colville,
I LOVE your book 'Goblins In The Castle'. Bruce have you ever walked or stood in misty rain if you have that's what your book was like each drop was a drop of happy , funny , tension , and amusement.My favorite part in the book was when William stands on the goblins table and says 'IGOR IS MY FREIND!'.i have a question what was your inspiration for the book besides Igor?
Bye,
Hannah!

Hi, Hannah -

Wow! I soooo loved this message. Your simile about the book like being in a misty rain and what all the droplets were like went straight to my heart. I think it is one of the best compliments I have ever received.

My inspiration for the book (besides Igor) would have to be all the great fantasy adventures that I had read in all the years before I wrote it. I am always trying to write a book I would have wanted to read myself.

Thanks for this lovely message,

BC
Please wait...
