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,
I love your book "Goblins in the Castle!"
My favourite part of Goblins in the Castle is when Igor hit William on the head with his bear for the first time. It was so funny. Also Herky is my favorite character, he is HILARIOUS!!! How did you come up with the character Herky?
Thanks for reading my letter!

Erika

Hi, Erika -
Thanks for this message. Glad you loved the book.
As to Herky - the truth is, he was a desperation measure. I needed a "cliffhanger" chapter ending, so I had =something= jump out of the bushes and grab William. I didn't know, when I wrote that, how funny and lively Herky would turn out to be!
