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.

Hello Mr. Coville,
I absolutely adore The Unicorn Chronicles. I fist started reading them when I was ten and now at twenty I still find myself picking them up and reading them over. They are brilliant little reads and I do wish that you would write something else along the same route.I've been a huge fan of your work since I was little and was wondering, were there any people in your life that inspired some of the characters of Luster?

Hi, Taylor -

Thanks for this lovely message. I'm wondering if you managed to find all four of the books in the series, since the last one hardly qualifies as "little" Heck, you could probably knock a person out with it! ;>

I did indeed draw on people in my life for some of the characters. Rajiv is based on a street boy I met while traveling in India, and Feng Yuan was inspired by a guide I had in Gui Lin, China. But the biggest inspiration was my daughter, Cara. You can probably guess which character is modeled on her! ;>
