Working Title
News | Posted by Carole on Monday 11 September 2006
I’m getting a bit sick of referring to the third Dragonkeeper book as DK3. So here’s the title. Dragon Moon. That’s the working title, anyway. I’d be interested to know if people think it’s a good title. I want it to be short…and memorable.
A lot of people had a problem remembering Garden of the Purple Dragon. It was often “Purple Garden of the…”. “The Purple Dragon”, “Dragon Garden…”. I’m hoping this title will stick in people’s minds more easily.
Speaking of Garden of the Purple Dragon, I am pleased to report that it has been shortlisted for the 2006 Queensland Premier’s Literary Award for Best Children’s Book. Very exciting. Click here to see the other contenders.
Carole,
I just finished the second book of the Dragon Keeper Series and am dying to read the next book, but it has’nt come to the United States yet. Do you know when Dragon Moon will be released in the United States? I need to find out what happens to Kai and Ping!!!!!!!
From your eager fan,
Antonia D.
Antonia,
Dragon Moon will be out in US in July 2008, I hope it’s worth the wait!
I was wondering if you are able to order it online. Is it possible?
Guam,
yes it is available online from black dog books
but if you are in US they might not be able to sell it to you, because of their contract with the US publisher.
You could look for a secondhand copy at an online bookshop like abebooks.
Hey carole
i think you should make a movie out of the books and i mean seriously
Ruru,
I agree with you, but I’m not a movie producer. I have to wait for one to come along and ask me.
Wheni s the Dragon moon book coming to the US?i can’t wait, i had to wait mothns for garden of the purple dragon to come out around here. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!
NO MORE DRAGON KEEPER BOOKS?!?!? NOOOOO!!! Please keep writing them, i beg you, i havn’t found a book yet that has matched this series so far, especially the first book.
Jake,
July 2008.
I’m really glad you liked Dragonkeeper, but I don’t have plans to write another one. I have lots of other books I want to write.
Dear Carole,
ahah, I submitted my comment withouth writing anything XD.
Anyway, wat I wanted to say is that I loved your books! I am from Argentina, and I have read the first and second one. I cant wait to have ‘Dragon Moon’. Will it be published in Latin America as the previous ones?
Lara,
It’s great to hear from someone in Argentina. Glad to hear you enjoyed the books. I don’t know when the Spanish version of Dragon Moon will be published. I’m sorry. You could email the Spanish publishers, and ask them. (And let me know if you find out!)
can you please make a dragon keeper movie because i really loved the book and all my friends that hate reading might be able to know what i mean when i say i started crying because i did
Jessica,
I would love there to be a Dragonkeeper movie too.
I’m a writer not a movie maker. I can’t make movies.
See http://www.carolewilkinson.com.au/faqs/#faq7 where I explain a bit more.
It’s a shame your friends don’t like reading. Maybe you could read to them to get them started.
hey carole who is the girl on that cover?
Is she compter made because all my friends and relativess says it looks like me. But i have bigger eyes
Ruru,
No it’s not a computer image. It’s a photo of a girl here in Melbourne. It’s the same girl on all three covers.
wats her name?
wats her name? is she a good friend of yours?
Ruru,
She was hired by the publisher for the photoshoot. I have met her. Her name is Tiffany,

roseblood,
Dragon Moon will be out in the US in May 2008. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the series.
This post was written in Sept 2006, that’s when I was writing the first draft. The book was published in Australia in May this year, so now lots of people have read it.
Hi Carole,
I love your books and don’t think you should write another book in the Dragonkeeper series; even though they are fantastic!!!! I think if you’ve lost your enthusiasm they won’t be as good as the other ones. I think the dragon encyclopeadia looks really good. I haven’t seen it in the shops yet but i am doing an assignment on you for school and have come across it several times. I hope you keep writing more books, they are so interesting I can never put them down!
Jessica,
Thanks for understanding that. I will definitely keep writing books, but I need a bit of variety.
Thanks for doing an assignment on me too.
Hi Carole, i think that your books are incredible, so far I have only read the first book, I’m going to read the second one soon and then commence the third as soon as it comes out in Canada. When does it come out in Canada?.
Daniel,
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed Dragon Keeper. I’m afraid I don’t know when Dragon Moon comes out in Canada. I assume you get the US edition which comes out in May.
Hello!:) I absolutely LOVED dragon keeper and garden of the purple dragon! in fact, i’m reading garden of the purple dragon right now!And I can’t wait to get Dragon moon!:) Oh, and i wrote a little short story about a dragon and a girl just for fun about a couple months ago! And i think it’s not bad for a 13 year-old boy. I have posted it on my website if u would like to read it in your spare time. And i’ve been wondering… what is your favourite type of music?
