I'm in a very good mood right now. I just found out that Bruce Coville is FINALLY going to be releasing his third book in his Unicorn Chronicle series called "Dark Whispers"
I've been waiting for this book since I was 16! I discovered the first two books in high. It was a series about unicorns, which is my favorite mystical animal and plus there was the fact that Bruce Coville wrote it. I've always enjoyed his writings. I still remember my grade 5 teacher reading
The Drgaon Slayers
to us as a class. He really is a great writer. He stories have adventure but they can also be funny at the same time. Also, I remember a good tip he said to aspiring authors that I read in an interview. I can't find the exact quote, but basically he said that he had met many unpublished writers that were better than him, but they didn't get published because they just gave up after a few rejections. In other words, everyone has the same chance of getting published but you just have to stick to it and have be patient. I always thought that was a good tip for young writers like myself.
I'll probably re-read the first two novels in the Unicorn Chornicles to re-fresh my memory for the third book.
