I thought a blog attached to my website would make it easier for me to keep my “Latest News” up-to-date. It will also give visitors to the website an opportunity to comment. And I can talk about…well, anything!
Most importantly, I want to show the world our new puppy! Her name is Rita.
Isn’t she cute?

Hi! I am a 12 year old Swedish girl and I am doing a book review about your book Dragonkeeper! Just wanted to say that the book is great and your dog is so qute!!!
How many awards have you won totally?
Cornelia,
Thanks for your kind comments. Dragonkeeper has won three awards, Garden of the Purple Dragon has won one.
Hi,
my name is Matilda Bergström and I am 8 years old. I live in Sweden. I think that the Dragonkeeper and Garden of the Purple Dragon are wonderful books. Your dog is really cute! I love dogs and we have got nine dogs in my family! My own dog is called Hanna. I am waiting for your next book in Swedish!
Matilda,
It’s great to hear from a Swedish reader. Glad you liked the books.
Wow, nine dogs is a lot! Just one keeps me very busy. In fact she’s pestering me to take her for a walk right now.
hi carole,
your dog is really cute! I just wanted to ask if you were writing another book after garden of the purple dragon? I also don’t like it when endings leave you thinking what’s going to happen next. Hope you write another book.
Bonnie
Bonnie,
It is written! It will be out in April (in Aust) and is called Dragon Moon.
Endings are hard. I have tried hard in Dragon Moon not to leave any loose ends…but there is still a little room for the reader to imagine what happens next.

Rosaria,
Rita is a grown up 2-year-old dog now. But still cute.
We get someone in to house sit and mind Rita if we go away.
OMG!!!!!! Rita is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! She reminds me of my mom’s old dog,Yikes. He died about two years ago….. What kind of dog is she?
Ashlyn,
she is a schnoodle. Half poodle, half schnauzer.
So that is why she looks like Yikes! Yikes is a schnauzer.
Hi Carole!
Rita is adorable! That photo looks so professional!
Do you have any other pets?
By the way, I’m doing a project on you!! =]
Kym,
thanks for choosing me for your project.
Rita is all grown up now. She is nearly three.
We also have a very old cat called Spuddy who has just turned 17.
Then carole,
sence you have a cat too don’t Rita and spuddy fight?
Rosaria,
No they don’t fight. Rita chases all other cats, but not ours.
