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 believe I signed this before but I honestly cant remember nor did I find myself while scrolling through the entries. I've been a huge fan of your work, especially The Unicorn Chronicles series. To a point where your books inspired my own Unicorn character who goes by the pseudonym Lumina. (You can see her profile on my website.) I have a signed copy of Song of the Wanderer and it means so much to me. You're one of my idols as a writer and I strive every day to improve my story writing so that one day I might publish a book of my own. It has saddened me that I cannot seem to find a reasonably priced copy of The Last Hunt, so that I might finish my collection of the series. But I digress. You are amazing, thank you for your works and keep being awesome!
First, thank you!
I am and have always been a voracious reader. I would say avid but that is simply not strong enough a word. I used to not do homework and just read, to the point where my mother had to take away everything but my school books when I was young. The point of this is I have been reading Tamora Pierce's books since the 90s when I was old enough to read them. I do mean I have been reading them since, as in over and over again and again. The Circle of Magic series is like a visit with old friends, and I make that visit several times a year.
I recently started a full-time job, yikes! Going from a hither and yon professor to a 9-5er was tough, what was toughest was the commute. I am from Massachusetts and we are born with road rage I fear. Your audio recordings of Tamora Pierce's books are what get me through those terrible mornings. I have to say I have listened to the books more times than I can count using fingers and toes now! But they are wonderfully written and the full cast audio productions are so wonderfully directed and perfect produced.
I love these books and your recordings allow me to "read" and drive at the same time. I have started listening to the other works you have produced and I find them to be just as entertaining and cannot wait to "read" more.
I am a little disappointed that "Shatterglass" has not been recorded as it is my favorite. But I am patiently waiting to see what you all do next.
I hope you will expand your collection of books. As an adult with the soul of infinite youth I assure you it brightens my life. 😀

Hello!
I absolutely loved the Magic Shop series when I was a kid (I'm 25 now) and after recently rereading all the books I'm really happy that they're still great. Do you have any plans to add to the Magic Shop series in the future? I'd love to see more of Mr. Elives and honestly, I was super excited when Juliet Dove came out. I've found myself thinking of different magic shop scenarios a lot lately. Thank you so much for what you've done.

Dear Mr. Coville,
Our class at Gillette Road Middle School has been reading My Teacher is an Alien and we were wondering if you have any of your books on audio CD? We love listening to stories together and following along. Thank you for all the wonderful stories you create!
Sincerely,
Mr. Laurenzo's Class

Hi this is faith are making more books.I am wanting to read more books that you make.
I'm a 17 year old student, and I still find your books fantastic reads! I've been an avid reader for almost ten years, and in thattime I've read all your Rod Albright adventures, your My Teacher is an Alien series, and the majority of the single works you'vecontributed to such books as Books of Magic (I and II) and the Wizard's Dozen. I've recently finished Oddly Enough, and believe it tobe one of your best works. I write ameteurly myself and agree with your views on the moods of writing habits.I'm writting this on a perticular question, though. The first story in Oddly Enough was titled "The Box", and with the same themesefound in another work, "Bear at the Gate." My question, after commenting on how much I enjoy both, is this: have you done moreof these "heavenly works", or is this to be a forever craving? Keep up the excellent work!
Okay, so as a young child I loved reading the Unicorn Chronicles. I was looking at my bookshelves the other day and decided to reread the series. (I love your work) Are there any more of your books you recommend for young adults? I am currently a YA writer (well, one in the making anyway). Are you going to write any more novellas or books for the Unicorn Chronicles? I know you must get thousands of messages every day, and go to tons of signings. How do you find time to write? Thanks. Bye.
I would like to begin by saying "The Monsters of Morley Manor" is my favorite book that you have written. My mother first read it to my brothers and I back in 2009 when we were quite younger. It was an interesting experience, because at the time we were living at my grandfather's house, which was old, creaky, and possessed a mildew scent - similar to Morley Manor. When she read the book to us, it felt as if we were actually there. Ironically enough, my grandfather's house is supposed to be demolished soon, which makes me sad, but reminds of what almost happened to Morley Manor in the book. I believe two years after that, I read it myself for the first time. And finally, the tail end of last year and the beginning of this year, I read the story again. I have to say, I noticed more than I remembered - probably because my mind was too simplistic to comprehend the depth of the story those several years ago. Before Morley Manor, when I was in third grade, I read your Magic Shop books. I also read "Moongobble and Me" when I was in the fourth grade. Your stories have actually inspired me to write - I have been writing since 2012. I really liked the name "Morley" in "The Monsters of Morley Manor". In fact, I stole the name "Morley" for the title of a story that I wrote last year. I know, pretty pathetic on my part, but rest assured, it has nothing to do with Morley Manor. I also would like to say that the descriptions in your stories are some of the most vivid ones I have come across throughout every kind of literature - despite not being lengthy. I have a question too, have Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allan Poe, and H.P. Lovecraft influenced you as a writer? They are some of my favorite authors (Something Wicked This Way Comes by Bradbury reminds me of a book you would write for an older audience). There is more I would like to say, but because of the minimal space of this comment box, I should probably stop. I appreciate any time you spend reading this,

My name is Lucas. I am a third grade student at Johnson Elementary in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. We are working on an author study project this year and I chose you because your books look fun to read. I also had to pick three of your books to read. I chose Aliens Ate My Homework, I left My Sneakers in Dimension X, and Aliens Stole My Body.
So far I have completed Aliens Ate my Homework. I liked reading it and I really liked the ending when the Aliens gave Rob a small volcano after they destroyed his big one. What gave you the idea to write this book? Also, what does BKR stand for?
I am reading I Left My Sneaker in Dimension X now and I think it is really good. Are you working on any new books now? Why did you become a writer and do you like it?
Sincerely,
Lucas
