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.

Mr. Coville,
First of all, I wanted to thank you for being a huge part of my childhood since the first grade. I grew up with your Unicorn Chronicles and eagerly read your website for updates on your book process. I remember when you decided to split the last book into Dark Whispers and The Last Hunt. I was in high school when The Last Hunt came out, and I unfortunately missed the boat buying it. I know it's been nearly 9 years and we still haven't had a second printing. The last I read from your blog a few years ago, you were in the process of getting a new company to print the book. Any progress on this? I'm 25 years old now, and I would love to go back to Luster and finish my favorite childhood series.
Thanks so much!

Hi, Kylee -
Thanks for this lovely message. I am delighted that you still care so much about the Unicorn Chronicles. As things have played out, I will be republishing the books myself. I have already brought back the first two - Book 1 in both print and ebook editions, Book 2 in ebook with a print edition soon to follow.
The plan now is to split the final two books, because they are so much longer than the beginning of the series. DARK WHISPERS will become two books and LAST HUNT become three, making for a seven book series that is more uniform in length. I hope to have all of them available before the end of 2019 - and it will be the first time ever that there will be a uniform edition!
I would be interested to know your thoughts on this plan.
With all good wishes,
Bruce Coville
