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.

Do you have an Skype account?
If you have we can talk with each other in there too.
I have a new question. What is your religion?
Answer me earlier.

Hi, Arshia -

Sorry, I'm not up for doing Skype visits.

As to my religion, I was raised as a Methodist, which is a Protestant branch of Christianity. I am now a Unitarian-Universalist.

All best,

Bruce

I think people should be allowed to dress however they want.

I often wear a cabbage on my head.

I loved your books as a kid, my elementary school's library had a fair chunk of your work (I Was a Sixth Grade Alien, Magic Shop series, and my personal favorite the Aliens Ate My Homework series). These days I am busy being a 'adult' working part-time and going to college, but I can still recall most of Rod Allbright's story and I do so with a smile. I have recently begun collecting books with my spare cash and look forward to owning a set of Aliens Ate My Homework. Thank you for making the literary part of my childhood amazing (and nourishing my addiction to all things magical and sci-fi).

Hi, Colin -

First off, my apologies for being so late in responding. My email and the guestbook are totally out of control!

I have recently been revisiting the Rod Allbright books because of some media interest in the stories. More than that I cannot say, other than to note that I would love to return that world and write more about what Rod and the gang from the Ferkel have been up to!

All best,

This is Mrs. Winters' first grade class. We really love The Moongobble books. We have finished reading all of them. We really want more Moongobble books to read. They are perfect for first graders to read. We want to know about the baby, is it a boy or a girl? What is its name? What is Fireball doing now? What is the Rusty Knight doing now? Please write more Moongooble books.
Thanks,
Mrs. Winters' First Grade Class

Dear Mrs. Winters' Class -

Thank you for this lovely message! I'm so glad you love the Moongobble books. I loved writing them! And I would really like to do some more. I'm going to send your message to my editor. Maybe she will listen to you.

I won't know the answers to your questions unless I write another book! ;>

Thanks for reading about Edward and Moongobble - and telling me that you liked them!

your friend,

Bruce Coville

Hi, Christopher -

Glad to know you loved The Monster's Ring!

Though it would probably be fun to write a book together, I already have my writing laid out for the next two and a half years, with contracts and due dates!

All best,

Was your mother Marie? I think we maybe related. Marie was my Dad's cousin. She even helped me with my marriage license. We miss Marie and her smiles. <3 Denice

Hi, Denice -

Marie was my aunt, married to my dad's brother. She was a lovely lady, full of joy and life.

Hi, Omid -

Nice to hear from you. I'm not surprised that, if you are friends with Arshia, that you also like horror movies. He seems to love them!

Hi, Arshia -

I'm always glad to hear from you. But probably not going to sign into Hangouts. I can't keep up with my emails and conversations as it is!
