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've been thinking about unicorns a lot lately--partly because I plan on re-reading your "Unicorn Chronicles" books, and partly because I'm working on a fantasy trilogy in which there are unicorns.
Something that always stood out to me was how you called a group of unicorns a 'glory'.
And I was wondering: is the term 'glory' copyrighted? For a little while, I thought it might be the actual term for a group of unicorns (like, a set term, such as wolf pack or pride of lions). But then I figured I should ask before I decide to use the term anywhere.
Thanks for your time, sir!
God bless,
Theodora Ashcraft

Hi, Theodora -
Thanks for writing, and particularly for asking about the term "glory" as a name for a group of unicorns. Though it is a term that I came up with, it is not copyrighted. In fact, it is my hope that the word might someday become the commonly accepted term for a group of unicorns. So if you would like to use it in your own stories, please do so, with my blessing!
