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,
Hello! I am a huge fan of one of your series, the Unicorn Chronicles, and so is my friend. I also like your book "Juliet Dove, Queen of Love". I am inspired by you to write some stories too! But I just have one question: How did you think of the Unicorn Chronicles series? Were you inspired by something? Other than that, I would like to say: Thank you for always capturing my interest in your books! The Unicorn Chronicles is my favorite series, and your writing always takes me to Luster and let me see what is happening to Cara and her friends!

Hi, Grace -

Thanks for letting me know you love The Unicorn Chronicles. Those books are very close to my heart.

I was actually invited to create a new series by a woman named Jean Feiwel, who at that time was head of Scholastic Books. When we sat down to discuss what kind of series I might come up with we were throwing ideas back and forth, and she said, "A unicorn world." That was all I needed . . . I was off and running.
