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,
What is your favorite part of being an author? Besides you know writing the books? Does the fame annoy you or are you proud of it?

Hi, Brianna -
There are so many things I love about being an author that its hard to choose one favorite thing. I can tell you that finishing a book, having all the parts come together in the right way, is always a great feeling.
The Fame thing is kind of interesting. I'm famous enough to get some pleasure out of it, but not so famous that it's a problem. This is partly because - unlike actors - authors are not know by their faces. So it's not like I get stopped on the street by people who recognize me.
