Jen,
I meant I wanted the title to be short and memorable, not the book!

I’m still working on the first draft. Getting there though. The only clue I’m giving, is that it’s another journey for Ping.

Posted by Laura on Friday 15 September 2006

Hi
I think that dragon moon is a great name to call the book, for a draft and for real and I can’t wait for it to come out! I can’t wait to see what happens! I am so excited

Hey.
I just finished reading Garden of the Purple Dragon. I love it! Another book to add to the collection!

I like the idea of the title Dragon Moon. Of course, it’d be awesome if a dragon moon was a vital part of the storyline. I mean, your other two titles were intergral parts of the story line.

Can’t wait for the next book,
Krystal

Totally LOVED the Garden of the Purple Dragon. Got strange looks from my partner as i was near tears and at times laughing cos of Kai.

Think that the Dragon Moon would be excellent, as Danzi appeared to Ping and Kai in dreams, and in the moon light so its aptly named.

Can’t wait for more adventures of Ping and Kai.

Am currently reading ‘Garden of the Purple Dragon’ to my 8 year old daughter, following on from the success of ‘Dragon Keeper’. We love both stories very much and she loves Kai. We laugh loudly and alot at his antics. She recently dressed up as Ping for her Bookweek parade. ‘Dragon Moon’ is an admirable and memorable title and we look forward to it.

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 19 September 2006

So far so good! Everyone seems to like the title.
Krystal, the moon will have some relevance.
Tina, glad you enjoyed Garden of PD. And Dom, I’m thrilled to hear that your daughter dressed up as Ping for Bookweek.

Dear Carole,

Posted by Carole on Monday 25 September 2006

Hello No.1 fan,
You are certainly a keen Dragonkeeper reader! Yes Dragon Moon will follow on from Garden of the Purple Dragon.

Posted by Your friend on Monday 25 September 2006

Hi,

I am now doing a assignment on your fabulous book Dragonkeeper. I totally love Dragonkeeper and Garden of the Purple Dragon and I think that “Dragon Moon” is a great name for your new book. But after “Dragon Moon” I hope that you make many, many more sequels to Dragonkeeper.

Posted by ur no.1 fan on Wednesday 27 September 2006

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 3 October 2006

No.1 fan,
Dragon Moon will be out next May in Australia. But I’m not telling you what happens in it! I haven’t finished writing it yet.

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 3 October 2006

Your friend,
I’m afraid that at the moment, I have no plans to write more Dragonkeeper books after Dragon Moon.

Posted by Purps on Wednesday 25 October 2006

Hi, Dragon Moon sounds like a great name, but my son says he has read a book by that name already. Could be a bit confusing…. (dragon delasangre series). We loved both of the books and can’t wait until the next one. Keep up the good work

Posted by Carole on Thursday 26 October 2006

Purps,
Thanks. I checked that title on Amazon and it’s an adult book, so I don’t think it will be a problem. I’ll mention it to my publisher though.

Posted by Bev on Monday 13 November 2006

Carole i am eagerly awaiting your 3rd book in the Dragonkeeper series. Like so many of your earlier respondents its publication is much anticipated.
Love your work!!! Dragon Moon is a great draft title.

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 14 November 2006

Bev,
Thanks. I can’t wait for it to be published either. It means I will have finished writing it!

Posted by Brittany on Saturday 18 November 2006

The Dragonkeeper series is my favorite series of books, so no matter what the title, I know I’ll always remember it, ‘Dragon Moon’ sounds good to me, simple, easy to remember, and just makes me want to read the 3rd book more!
Congrats on the Literary Award, you deserve it more than any other author, my friends were all amazed by the amount of awards Dragonkeeper won.
Keep up the great work!

Posted by Carole on Wednesday 22 November 2006

Britanny,
Thanks for your encouragement. Glad you’re enjoying the Dragonkeeper series.

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 12 December 2006

Phillipa,
I hope it’s as good as the first two books as well. It’s hard for me to tell!

Emma,
Hope you have the book by now.
Frances,
Glad to hear you liked Dragon moon.

Posted by Lydia on Tuesday 24 April 2007

Please can you write a fourth book of the dragon series! I have read dragonkeeper, Garden of the purple dragon AND Dragon moon! Please, I am begging You to. Please. If you don’t i will be sad, just please keep writing!!! Please, Please, Please.

Posted by Lydia on Tuesday 24 April 2007

PLEASE, I can not stress that enough!!!!!!

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 24 April 2007

Lydia,
I will keep writing, I will write lots of other books, but not for the Dragonkeeper series. I’m sorry to disappoint you. To write a book, you have to be enthusiastic about it. I feel that I have finished the series and I am ready to write something different.
There will be more dragons. I am currently writing a dragon encyclopedia which will be full of dragons.

Posted by Lydia on Wednesday 25 April 2007

PLEASE keep writing them. Write about some killer thing that tries to hurt Kai, and ping has to save him, but an evil person follows her and she has to try and get rid of them. Just please keep writing them. PLEASE.

Posted by Lydia on Wednesday 25 April 2007

Try to find inspiration somewhere, go to china if you have to! But please just keep writing!!!

Posted by Lydia on Wednesday 25 April 2007

What happened to Hua in the third book? He just sort of disappeared, also, what happened to her family? Did they get the plague? Just write more dragon keeper books. Make some killer want Kai’s splein and then make Ping look after kai and the rest of the dragons, but kill off the one that spat in her eyes, I don’t like that one, but keep the rest, ADD A TWIST LIKE PING FINDS OUT THAT kAI IS A FEMALE DRAGON!

Posted by Lydia on Wednesday 25 April 2007

Or somthing of the sort.

Posted by Dwayne on Wednesday 25 April 2007

Hi, I have not read any of your books and am not planning to. But I LOVE them. Can you please right a book. It could be about Santa Clause but he rides a dragon and one day the dragon eats all the presents and he has to find more with the help of a secret agent called Dwayne.

Love from your 19 year old friend,

Dwayne

Posted by Lydia on Wednesday 25 April 2007

Please keep writing them. They are my favorite books. Write about some killer dragonhunter. And Ping saves Kai from Him and they both fly to the isle of the blest, but then Kai Is captured by an evil red phoenix and ping his to save him again. But then she sees Danzi’s body and he is dead. She then saves Kai, goes home, finds the other dragons and does somthing interesting. But i don’t care if you wright somthing compleatly different, just keep wrighting tose books, please!!!

From Lydia.

Posted by Carole on Wednesday 25 April 2007

Lydia,
Sorry. But you have plenty of ideas, so you can make up your own stories. If I’ve read a book I like, I like to imagine what happens next after a book has finished.

Posted by Carole on Wednesday 25 April 2007

Dwayne,
I think you need a hobby!

Posted by Faith on Tuesday 15 May 2007

Hi Carole,

It’s Faith from the launch. I have just finished your latest book! It’s totally awesome!

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 15 May 2007

Hi Faith,
Good to hear from you. I’m really glad you enjoyed the book.

Posted by Antonia on Monday 30 July 2007

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.

Posted by Carole on Tuesday 31 July 2007

Antonia,
Dragon Moon will be out in US in July 2008, I hope it’s worth the wait!

Posted by Guam on Thursday 9 August 2007

I was wondering if you are able to order it online. Is it possible?

Posted by Carole on Friday 10 August 2007

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.

Posted by Ruru on Wednesday 26 September 2007

Hey carole
i think you should make a movie out of the books and i mean seriously

Posted by Carole on Thursday 27 September 2007

Ruru,
I agree with you, but I’m not a movie producer. I have to wait for one to come along and ask me.

Posted by Jake on Friday 5 October 2007

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!!!!

Posted by Jake on Friday 5 October 2007

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.

Posted by Carole on Friday 5 October 2007

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.

Posted by Lara on Saturday 6 October 2007

Dear Carole,

Posted by Lara on Saturday 6 October 2007

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?

Posted by Carole on Saturday 6 October 2007

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!)

Posted by Jessica on Saturday 3 November 2007

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

Posted by Carole on Saturday 3 November 2007

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.

Posted by Ruru on Monday 5 November 2007

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

Posted by Carole on Monday 5 November 2007

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.

Posted by Ruru on Monday 12 November 2007

Posted by Ruru on Monday 12 November 2007

wats her name? is she a good friend of yours?

She was hired by the publisher for the photoshoot. I have met her. Her name is Tiffany,

your dragon friend

Posted by Carole on Sunday 2 December 2007

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.

Posted by Jessica on Thursday 14 February 2008

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!

Posted by Carole on Friday 15 February 2008

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.

Posted by Daniel on Sunday 23 March 2008

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?.

Posted by Carole on Monday 24 March 2008

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.

Posted by Randy on Monday 5 May 2008

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?
