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.

Hi, Zoe -
Though I enjoy reading horror books, I am not very fond of ones that are full of blood and gore. I prefer suspense, which I think is scarier. It's very easy to fill the pages with blood splashing around. Takes a great deal more skill to make a reader truly frightened.
For a truly scary book try CORALINE by Neil Gaiman. No blood, but plenty spooky. Also WAIT TILL HELEN COMES by Mary Downing Hahn, a really good ghost story.

Hi, Ameer -
Glad you loved that book. I think the main reason I wrote it is that Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I was trying to write the kind of book I always wanted to read on HAlloween night when I was a kid myself!

hello i am wondering what kind of books do you like ?
Reply by Bruce Coville
Oh, I like all kinds of books - adventure, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, biography, history. What I really like, I guess, are books that are well-written, no matter what the subject matter.

Hi, Cheonnie - The book is about a brownie named Angus Cairns. In Scotland brownies are small creatures that help tend a house. Unfortunately for Angus, due to a curse, he is forced to come to America and work with the messiest girl in Connecticut, which drives him slightly nuts. I think it's very funny . . . I had a good time writing it.
Glad you're reading the Unicorn Chronicles. Cara's family is a real mess!

I hope you'll like it when it's finally ready!!
