UK Dragon Dawn
Dragonkeeper Trilogy, News | Posted by Carole on Friday 8 May 2009
I’m pleased to announce that the UK edition of Dragon Dawn will be released on 4 June. Here is the UK cover.
Pretty cool isn’t it?
Just to remind you, Dragon Dawn is a prequel to the Dragon Keeper Trilogy. It is set 100 years before Dragon Keeper when Danzi was younger and more sprightly, and Ping wasn’t even born.
UK readers will get a bonus with this book. Also included is an A-Z of Chinese Dragons. I’m looking forward to getting my copies of the book. I haven’t seen it yet.

Yay not long to wait then. Im reading a lot of books at the moment but Im definitely reading this I love the series. After I read this I might read the other ones again because only read them once and I dont care if their aimed at children because their for all ages I think. oo Wonder what the ‘extra’ is!

Sounds like you are being very creative.

Connor,
Glad you liked it. Yes, these things take time.

Nicole,
I am sorry that is the information I have been given. Unfortunately I have no control over who sells my books.
I will tell my Australian publisher that you have been unable to get the book in Singapore.

Jessica,
Glad to hear you are enjoying it. If you really like it, there are two more books in the series, plus this prequel.

Hope you enjoy it.

I really prefer the Uk covers, i have most of the books in hard cover and they are gorgeous.

Since I read the trioligy I hope that you would write another book and you did!!!!!!But sadly it is not here yet.The reason I wanted you to do so is because I did not like the ending of the trilogy. Please tell me if there will be a sequel to Dragon Keeper Trilogy.
Thanks, William 11 ,New Mexico ,USA
Posted by Carole on Monday 22 June 2009
William,
I’m afraid the US publishers have no plans to publish Dragon Dawn.
Sorry you didn’t like the trilogy ending. No I have no plans to write another book after the trilogy. If you want to know why read this blog

What made you write Dragon dawn for?
Posted by Carole on Wednesday 1 July 2009
William,
Thanks. Yes I like Dragon Dawn. I wrote it because people were asking for another Dragonkeeper book and I knew I couldn’t write another one about Ping. I thought it would be interesting to imagine what Danzi was like when he was younger.

so dragons eventually died out, right?
Posted by Randy on Tuesday 14 July 2009
hey Carole, i love the trilogy i keep rereading them! i’m been hoping for another book to go with the Dragon Keeper series cuz I’m fussy about what I read and that series is perfect for me! i love your style of writing and Chinese mythology! and i have a question, when does Dragon Dawn come out to Canada or the U.S.? if you don’t know exactly when do you have an estimate?

Randy,
thanks for your kind comments.
Unfortunately Dragon Dawn will not be published in the US. That is the decision Hyperion has made. I have no control over it. You could try writing to them. The address is in the right-hand column on my Books page

Carole, its a shame that your book won’t be published in the U.S., many people love the series.
Is Disney Hyperion the only U.S. publisher you are in contact with? Maybe another Publishing company will accept it, don’t give up. It sounds like a great book, and if they don’t publish it, it’s their loss, i guess I’ll have to go to the U.K. or Australia to get a copy lol:P
:] Randy
Posted by Randy on Wednesday 15 July 2009
and i was wondering if there is any way to order a copy from the U.K. or even Australia? if so could you give me details -if you can- ? and would a copy from austalia cost more to order to Canada? cuz i like the australia cover better
Posted by Carole on Friday 17 July 2009
Randy,
You can buy the UK edition from an online bookshop such as Abebooks UK or Amazon UK. Or you can buy the Australian edition from the blackdog books website

I don’t know about costs, you’ll have to compare. I write the books, I’m not involved with marketing them, that’s someone else’s job! Generally books are more expensive here in Australia. The Australian one has been out for a year, though, you might get a secondhand copy online.

Hi Carole,
I am in Thailand so which edition will be shipped to Thailand for Dragon Dawn? I hope it is the UK version.
Thank you for writing wonderful books.
Please reply,
Kanin
Posted by Carole on Monday 27 July 2009
Kanin,
If there is a bookseller who imports my books to Thailand, it will be his or her decision which one is imported. I don’t have any control over what people import, I’m afraid.
You could order the UK version on the internet if you wanted that edition. Thanks for your interest in my books.

hi carole,
I’m in canada and i was wondering when dragon dawn is coming to canada because i love this series and i want to find out what happens to jun and ping.
Posted by Carole on Saturday 8 August 2009
Mason,
I am going to disappoint you twice. Firstly, it isn’t going to be published in Canada as the US publishers of the series are not publishing it. Sorry, I don’t decide these things.
Secondly it is not the 4th book in the series. It is set 100 years before Dragonkeeper, long before Ping and Jun were born.
If you want to read it, the only thing I can suggest is that you buy the UK or Australian editions online.
Posted by Dan on Monday 28 September 2009
That makes my very sad… I live in the USA and when I saw that there was a new book by you in the dragonkeeper series i was very happy. Now that i kno it will not b available in my country im very sad… :’( hopefully the publishers will change their minds because you are an awesome writer.
Posted by Carole on Wednesday 30 September 2009
Dan,
You could try writing to Hyperion and trying to convince them.
