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,(or should I call you Bruce?)
I read always october and fell in love. I got so many kids I know stuck on it. I liked it so much that I came up with a sequel called "never november." In it Jake and Lily return to Always October to find it's been taken over ( by guess who) and turned into a place where all the monsters are humans. It's up to Jake and Lily to save Always October again. Or will they be to late? So what do you think? If you like it, you should know I'm 11 on feb. 26 2013.
from, Grace
P.S. I played Freya in "The Theft of Thor's Hammer" last year.

Hi, Grace -

Firstly, you should feel free to call me Bruce.

Secondly, I'm delighted that you loved Always October. As my 100th book, it holds a special place in my heart.

Thirdly, I think Never November is a brilliant idea for a title to a sequel. Sadly, right now it seems as if a sequel is unlikely, since my editor for OCTOBER has gone to a different publishing house, and the new editors do not seem to be interested in a follow-up. It's too bad, because I loved writing about Jake and Lily.

And, finally . . . SOOOO cool that you got to play Freya. She's a great character and I bet you had a lot of fun doing it!

Thanks for writing!
