New Dragonkeeper Book
News | Posted by Carole on Sunday 14 September 2008
I have said many, many times that I am not going to write a fourth book in the Dragonkeeper series. And I haven’t changed my mind about that. However, I have written another Dragonkeeper book. It doesn’t continue the story after Dragon Moon though. It is a “prequel”. It is called Dragon Dawn and is set 100 years before Dragonkeeper starts and tells the story of Danzi when he was young and adventurous.
It will be out in October.
That sounds soooooo cool! I can’t wait!!!
I love the cover!
Danzi looks cool. i imagined him like that but without the hair.
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! CAROLE!!! Eeek!
Is it going to be published in the UK? Please say yes!!!
IJCW(I JUST CAN’T WAIT)!I am sooooooooooooooo getting that.no matter how many books i still have
to read or hw much money.I don’t even care if it will cost my life savings. I am still soooooooooooooooo getting that.its way better than the ASUS EEE PC!who cares about a labtop (if that is how you spell it).Mabey non book lovers do.but I don’t.Books are more important to me.What makes people say I learned how to read when I was 3 and a half and by my self,money? well text ya later bye!
Sarah, Ella,
Glad you like the cover. I imagined him with a slightly longer nose. But I think he looks pretty good
Ryan,
Not as yet, I’m afraid. It is the British publisher who makes the decision, not me. So perhaps you should email them and then they will know that people in UK are interested in the book.
Rosaria,
I’m glad to hear that reading is so important to you. I can assure you that it won’t cost your life savings to by the book…unless you aren’t very good at saving money.
Hey havn’t posted in a while. The dragonkeeper series are my favourite books and I am over the Dragonmoon that you’re writing a prequal! I finished the third book months ago now and I can’t wait for this! I love the cover as well, it’s slightly different than what I expected a Chinese Dragon to look like. Bye for now, so cant wait for this!
Great idea!!
Yes carol you are right,
I am not good at saving money but its not that I spend it.I lose it.
Danny,
Good to hear from you again.
This is the first series that I cannot put down once I started the first page. I thought Harry Potter sucks me in more…but Dragonkeeper is the best!!
I’m so excited to hear that the prequel of this trilogy is coming soon…You are a wonderful writer…even though I no longer a kid
WOW!!!!!! I really want to read it! Please say that its going to my country,USA!
sry i havent commented lately, its coz i went to china for three weeks -sigh- it was alright, but i’m really tired, i’ll buy that book as soon as it comes out hopefully..
Tuyen Vu,
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the books. I hope you like the prequel too.
Vivienne,
lucky you going to China.
dear carole
befor i read dragonkeeper i didnt like reading that much… but then i read dragonkeeper and now i love books!!! dragonkeeper is the book that got me into reading.
A few months before I read DragonKeeper,I never liked reading books.How I got the book was when I needed one for my readinglog.I have to admit,I’ve never seen DragonKeeper at Borders.I’ve only seen Garden of the PurpleDragon.When I was looking,I saw this cool cover of a dragon on it.My dad said it looks like a good book.But I didn’t want it,I got a book about this clan of cats,when I was done,I got the same book,but it was different.When I was done with that,I saw Garden of the PurpleDragon again.I grabbed it and read the back.It did look like a good book.I got the book and when I came home,I rushed to my room and started reading it.I was sooooooo good,that I read it for SIX hours without taking a break!And I was finished reading it in just three days.I ordered the other books off of amazon.You write the best books in the whole world!When will you write more books about dragons?
HI Carole u write the best books! i got dragon keeper trioology on holidays and finished the whole seris in 1 week! i love them you so need to write more dragon books.plz tell me it will come out in My country first .AUstralia. i didn’t know so many countries had the seris!

Hay Carole u are totally ausome! You are a true aussie. I have loved dragons my whole entire life. Even though I don’t think of a dragon your way. Either way your books are cool. See ya!
Zahra,
That’s great to hear. I hope you continue to enjoy reading books.
Ashlyn,
It is only available in Australia at the moment.
Very pleased to hear that Garden of the PD hooked you in.
I have only just finished writing Dragon Dawn. So I won’t be writing any more dragon books for a while. I’ve written 5 in the last 5 years. So I want to do something different.
Gabby,
Dragon Dawn is only available in Australia at the moment. Deals with other countries come later.
See my comment to Ashlyn above re other dragon books.
You have to remember that it might take you a week to read, but it takes me a year to write a book.
Jamee,
Not sure what you mean when you say “I don’t think of a dragon your way”.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!
I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE DRAGONS so this will be great! and do you know in wich bookshops in Canberra i could find the dragon companion? I loked in many places but no sight of it.please help!!!!!!!!
Rosaria!
Rosaria,
Any bookshop should order it in for you if they haven’t got it in stock.
I know that Jacaranda definitely has it in stock as I was there recently. They are at 15 Bowman St, Macquarie. But ring first in case they’ve sold out.
where can i purchase dragon dawn!?
i simply adore your books, hope to hear from you!
oh that is SO great! i hope it will be out in Hong Kong soon
, but i can still ask my friend in Melbourne to help me buy it 
but i bought Dragon Moon just a few days ago, so i’ll have to catch up with everything quickly
Carole do you know if Dragon Dawn will be published in the USA?
Belinda,
You can get Dragon Dawn from any bookshop in Australia. Ask them to get it in if they haven’t got it.
Mathew,
The US publisher hasn’t taken it yet.
ARRRRRR YAY ive just got back from NZ and this is the best news i heard so far YAY i am soo getting that book i cant wait…….
Anyway u no how in that hatshepsut book you wrote u said that arceoholigists had said they had found a large female with hatshepsut…… well im starting to think that is hatshepsut and the wet nurse may just be a fake…… i found a website with a picture of hatshepsut when she went to punt – shes really obese if that is her anyway- i wonder what this means??????
okay carole thankyou anyways
Connor,
The painting of the obese woman is not Hatshepsut. It is the queen of Punt.
Hey, This is the first time I’ve ever written on this. I bought your book today, the first one and I love it. I’m glad to hear you have released a new book but I have to wait and read the other ones first, I’m only 50 pages in and I am already convinced you are a gifted writer. I never really was fully interested in dragons and stuff but now I like them. Some of the illistrations on your book covers are how I imagined them. But who cares, everyone imagines many things in many different ways.
owww yeh i no i figgured that out although what i cant understand is that there are not many traces of punt?????
Connor,
The paintings in Hatshepsut’s Temple show the buildings in Punt as sort of huts on stilts. They would have just rotted away without leaving a trace.
Hey its me, I havent posted on one of your blogs for a while but I just popped by and saw the new Dragonkeeper book. It looks great! I’m gonna get it.
hey! i can’t wait for the book! i think that danzi’s nose is a little funny and i expected fangs. i like the ides of a prequel.
I can’t wait to read it. I loved the Dragonkeeper series. The cover is different and interesting but still cool. I was sorta hoping there’d be another book.
Stacey,
Did you see the new covers for the Dragonkeeper series? I did a blog about them

wann kommt das buch in österreich heraus???i am from austria when came the book in austria out???
James,
Glad you are enjoying the books.
Peter,
I am sorry. It is not published in Austria. No publisher in Austria is interested in publishing the book.
will dragon dawn be out by january please leave me a reply to my first comment ever
i live in the usa
sorry for the other two messages but do you have any idea if there will be a sequel to the prequel and how many pages are in dragon dawn
Carole,
I really enjoyed your books. I’m very sad to here that you will not be writing any more dragon books for a while. After i read each one of your Dragon Keeper books I went out and bought them because they touched my heart so deeply. (and even though im a guy I cried at parts of all of the books) I wanted to know if Dragon Dawn will come out in the U.S. soon. Also I hope that you would take in consideration that everyone especially me (possibly your biggest fan in the world)really wants a book to follow up on Dragon Moon. Thank you for listening. (if this isn’t some possibly guy who manages the site for you)(which I doubt)
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
Omar,
The US publisher has not agreed to publish Dragon Dawn yet, so it certainly won’t be out there in January.
I have no plans to write any other Dragonkeeper books at the moment. Sequels, prequels or sequels to prequels.
Dragon Dawn is not a big book. It is 104 pages.
If you want to contact the US publisher (to suggest that they might publish Dragon Dawn) their contact details are in the right hand column on my Books page at
