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.

Happy New Year Mr. Coville! I hope 2013 is happy and blessed :))
Also, I finally succeeded in finding my copies of the Chronicles, and they have been restored to their place of honor on my bookshelf. I also reread them and got very nostalgic...there's a world of memory attached to those stories for me; I was eleven when I first read them and they were the first fictional world I ever truly fell in love with. I dreamed about Luster for years afterwards and forced the stories on all my friends (I'm still badgering one of them to finish the series so we can talk about them; she's read the first two). And I'm seventeen now and am currently on a huge Tolkien kick (and can I say that coming back to Luster after reading Tolkien gave me a new depth and appreciation for Luster, as well as Middle Earth), what with the Hobbit coming out, and coming back to the Unicorn Chronicles just hit the spot after so many years. :'D
I hope this made some kind of sense XD I had so much to say! Merry 2013 to you and yours 😀

Hi, Nicole -
Ah, what a lovely message. It delights me more than I can say to know that the Unicorn Chronicles have continued to be so important to you through all these years.
Tolkien is the master, the greatest of us all, and I owe a lot of what I do to having read his wondrous work when I was younger. He taught me how to build a world.
Have a lovely new year, my young friend. And thanks for staying in touch.
