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.

I read Goblins on the Prowl today. It was good. I loved the references to The Dragonslayers. I never read The Foolish Giant but I liked learning the story within the story.

Hi, Chrissy -
Thanks for this! You are the very first reader to get back to me about the book, so I especially treasure these comments.
The references to DRAGONSLAYERS were much more pronounced in my first version. Bwoonhiwda was accompanied by Queen Wilhelmina's daughter, who was named Pink. But the editor felt that the book was overpopulated and someone had to go. Alas, it was Pink who got the ax. But I'm thinking about bringing her back in a story of her own someday.
All best,
Bruce
