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.
Taylor,
There is a guy (Chris) who does a very good job of managing my website. But I write the comments on the blog, and everything else as well. He just puts it all up and makes it look beautiful.
I’m very pleased to hear that the books touched you, but I still don’t have any plans to write another one. My heart wouldn’t be in it.
Thank you, Carole.
I understand what you mean although it still makes me sad. (:
thankyou for leaving me an answer but will you make any
more dragon books
Omar,
I have only just finished writing Dragon Dawn. I now need a change. I may write more books about dragons in the future.
Hey Carole can you tell me when Dragon Dawn will come out in the US because i can’t wait
Carole I reckon if you write a book about what happened on the Isle of the Blest it would sell big time or maybe even a book about Ping and Kai being united.
My school has that book but so many people had reserved it and I don’t think I’d get a chance to read it. So now I’m going to ask my mum to buy the book. I totally love dragons and I hope some day you’ll write another book.
Dominic,
The US publisher has not agreed to publish it yet, so I don’t know. Sorry.
Renee,
Now I can’t write that, because it is your idea.
An,
I hope you get to read it eventually.
omg omg omg
u have definitely heard this before, and maybe getting tired of it but i LOVE the dragonkeeper series. It is my favourite. I am so happy there’s another one. Is it going to come out in Australia?????
Mon,
I am Australian so my books come out in Australia first, and often only in Australia.
Dragon Dawn has been out since September.
i’m happy for that.
hi carole the fourth book will be mad and i am doing a project on you
rhys,
Mad?
Hi Carole, I was looking in an online bookstore tonight and discovered Dragon Dawn. I will have to go get it on Monday. My eldest who reads just about anything discovered Dragonkeeper in Grade 6. Another class was reading it and she asked the teacher if she could borrow the book off her over the school holidays. When she finished in a matter of days she handed it to me and said “Mum, you have to read it.” Like her I couldn’t put it down! My 6 year old who could read novels at the age of 3 was looking for a new book so we handed it to her. The night she finished it she looked at me with tears on her cheeks and said “that was the best book ever” I have four kids and they have all read your Dragon books and love them. We have them all and the dragon companion. My son also has the Ramose books I just haven’t got around to reading them yet. My son also saw you with a school group at V.U. Sunbury last year. Thank you for inspiring my youngest to tackle larger books. We love your stories!
Sandy,
I’m delighted your whole family has enjoyed reading my books. That’s really great.
Hey Carole why arent you making anymore books to add to dragon moon?
Katie
I did a blog about that. You can see it at
http://www.carolewilkinson.com.au/news/2008/11/26/this-is-why/
I read the first part of it. It also said to rita!
I kinda laughed and then I asked myself why? So here it is why?
Rosaria,
I thought Rita deserved a mention as she is the one who keeps me company all day while I’m writing.

Hey. Did you know Carole’s book Dragon Dawn is not coming out in America. If you think this is unfair. Email me at curtislovespie@hotmail.com and I will give you the details how to contact the publisher. And maybe if they get enough letters they will publish it. Please contact me.
Curtis,
Thanks for doing that. If readers get in touch with Hyperion, they might change their mind. They don’t seem to have an email address for public use. These are the contact details I have.

Amy,
Sorry I missed your comment. I don’t know how that happened.
Hope your mum enjoys reading the books.
Hi Carole I’ve read Dragonkeeper and I’m halfway through Dragon Moon.
I wonder why no-one’s posted since last year..
Rosie,
I hope you enjoy Dragon Moon.
I wrote this blog post a year and a half ago. People have commented on some of my more recent blogs.
Maybe people are busy with school work. Or sick of making Dragonkeeper comments!
Hey Carol!
I discovered your books in sixth grade and fell in love. I felt as if I was actually experiencing everything Ping did! I felt torn when Danzi left and Kai went to stay with the other dragons.
I am very sad that Dragon Dawn is not coming out in america! I was looking forward to another book! :’(
You are one of my favorite authors and you are one person who inspired me to write my emotions, and write what I want, not what other people are asking me. I am so glad that your books came into my life. It may never be the same.
I have done three projects on your books and am reading the first one for the third time now.
I have also recommended this book to many people and my mom loves it too!
I wonder if I am aloud to post a site, because I would like you to read some of my short stories too.
Well, thanks for being such an awesome author.
-Ray (Zoey)
Dear Ray,
Thanks for your kind words about the Dragonkeeper books. I am disappointed Dragon Dawn is not being published in America as well.
I’m very pleased that I have inspired you with your own writing, and thanks for doing those projects about my books, and recommending them to others.
Do you mean you want to put a web address here on my blog for a site where you have stories? You can certainly do that. Or do you mean you want to post your story on my blog.
I do have a policy of not commenting or giving editorial advice to other people about their stories. You may think that’s mean, but I do have my reasons.

Best of luck with your writing.
Hi Carole,
I love reading the books you wrote. I have already read the 3 Dragon Keeper series.I’m from Hong Kong, I tried searching the Dragon Dawn but it seems quiet difficult to find it but i won’t quit for sure. I can’t wait to read it! Thank-x 4 writing all these books for us to read!:)
Limgee,
Dragon Dawn has only been published in Australia and the UK. Perhaps there is a bookshop in HK that could get it in for you, otherwise buying it on the internet is the only way.
I’m glad that you have enjoyed the other three books.
Hi Carole,
just wondering when the next dragon keeper book will come out and what it will be called
David,
It has a working title of Blood Brothers. That might change.
It will be published in May next year.
