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. Coville,
I really enjoyed the Unicorn Chronicles. I am
reading Always October right now. It is really good. I was wondering if you could write any
books about ghosts, mermaids, vampires, or
witches. P.S. When I grow up I want to be a writer like you! from Megan

Hi, Megan -

I'm glad you enjoyed the Chronicles - I poured my heart and soul into the last two books, and nearly broke my brain writing THE LAST HUNT! I'm also delighted you're enjoying ALWAYS OCTOBER, which is my most recent book and therefore quite dear to my heart.

I have written three ghost mysteries. Sadly, they are out of print now, but I am working on getting them available as ebooks. No mermaid books, though I have thought about doing one of those many times. I was going to write a vampire story for my next Magic Shop book, but I am very unhappy with the publisher right now. There is a witch, and quite a nasty one at that, in JENNIFER MURDLEY'S TOAD.

I am glad that you would like to be a writer, too. It was reading books that I loved when I was your age that made me want to be a writer myself!

All best,

Bruce Coville
