    cool……. WOOT WOOT I got hatshepsut today…… I thought it would be bigger but i guess the seires is big….. I already have finished it and i think that it was quite a good read.

  3. Carole says:

    Connor,
    she certainly had an interesting life! Thanks for buying the book.

  4. Connor says:

    yerr she did, Although I had seen a documantry a few months ago…. when I saw the picture of the mummy in the book i had to ask you this question!!! I have seen a real mummy of a woman about the same size of her and she was in her real bandeges and just if you hadn’t ever seen one in real life (even though i think you have)it had about a two mens width of bandages on it on each angle of her so in the picture what happened to all of hers were they all gone…. And this women ( her name was Keku ) was around at the time of Tutankhamun some thinks they are realated some how so Hatshepsuts bandages couldn’t of broken down with only a about one hundred years difference between them plus hatshepsuts mummy was found way before Keku’s so Im sorta lost????

    Connor,
    they unwrapped her so that they could investigate her body I think.

  6. Connor says:

    Hmmmmm ok I thought that

    Carol i need ur help about your book with an english assignment. Are there any picsof Danzi anywher or character profiles. It would make things so much easier.

  8. Ella says:

    Does carole always reply?

  9. Carole says:

    Ella,
    Yes I always reply. But not instantly! I already replied to your request on one of the other blogs, Dragonkeeper website, earlier to day.
    As I said, there are no pictures of the characters. It is up to readers to create there own pictures in their heads. You will find a picture of what someone else imagine he looks like at

    There are no character profiles I am afraid. I suspect your teacher wants you to write your own. What did you think the characters were like?
    Sorry I can’t help anymore than that. Good luck.

  10. Carole says:

    Connor,
    Or perhaps the tombrobbers unwrapped her looking for jewels.

  11. Ella says:

    Hi,Carole. I’m working on a book called DragonBlood.I’ll show you the first part.its just a few sentences.Can you tell me how it is? Two friends were sitting on a rock chatting and laughing.The girl stopped laughing.Here nails started turning black!They grew longer and turned into claws.Her face turned into a snout.Something sharp came ripping out of her skin!They were scales.Horns grew out of her head.Her body grew longer and longer.She grew a tail.Her eyes turned blood red.It was a dragon.The dragon stood on its hind legs and let out a mighty roar.The other friend ran away. Marcey opened her eyes.Her body shook with fear.She looked at her trembling hands.They were not claws.She felt her head for horns.She didn’t have any.It was just a dream,a dream that always creeps into her sleep. I can’t tell anymore,the other parts are way too long.Does it need more work?Do you like it?Please tell me.I need to know so I can work on it if its bad.

  14. Carole says:

    Ashlyn,
    I think it sounds like a good idea.
    I can’t make more comments than that. I’m sorry. Normally I don’t read stories that people send in to me. Otherwise I would always be reading and writing comments and I would never get a chance to write myself.

  17. Carole says:

    Rianna,
    I am glad that you enjoyed the books. No I have no plans to write another book in the series.
    No Danzi will not come back.
    I have written a prequel, though, about Danzi when he was younger.

    Lilee

  20. Carole says:

    Lilee,
    That is a very big question. My childhood was fine. I don’t really know what you want to know. Can you be a bit more specific?

  21. Lilee says:

    Carole,
    Lilek was your family poor or wealthy or normal? Stuff like that.

  22. Lilee says:

    Was your family wealthy or poor? were you wetter off or not so much?

  23. Carole says:

    Lilee,
    My family was very normal. The big event in my childhood was when we emigrated to Australia when I was 12.
