Comments from the old LDSWBR website:
To Dorothy Keddington,
I absolutely LOVE your books! I borrowed them from a friend a few years ago and have been desperately searching for a place that sells all of your works since then. Can you tell me where I can buy them? -Tara White
Hey Dorothy, I am a huge fan of your work. Would you happen to have copies of your books for sale? I would love to be able to buy them. Thanks! -Roxie
To Dorothy Keddington: Absolutely love every one of your books. I read Return to Red Castle 18 years ago when I was 13 and then bought everyone of your books thereafter. They are on my bookshelf always and I love to read them again every few years.Thanks for writing such great novels. -Ada DeClark
I have been looking for Dorothy Keddington’s books for ages! (Sorry, but there’s something unethical to me in buying a used book, in barely acceptable condition, for $40! Even if it is totally worth it….) I would absolutely go crazy if they became available again. I’ve told everyone I know about them…and nobody has access to a copy. Dorothy, can’t you please get them back in print????? -Jeanette Binns
Dorothy will your new book ‘the fairy thorn’ be out by christmas? Has anyone heard anything? I love her books. I have read all of them and I’m starting to collect them. -maricela zavala
dorothy keddington helped me fall in love with books and reading. i would be OVERJOYED to read any new works of hers! and i have introduced many many friends and family to dorothy’s books and they would be just as happy for a new dorothy keddington story to get lost in. -aubrie
I first read Dorothy Keddington’s Jayhawk when my grandmother lent it to me. I loved it! I’ve since found a few more of hers at the BYU library, but I want to know if there is a way I can get a complete list of all her books. Does she have a website? Why are her books out of print? -Tiffany
I first read Jay Hawk in high school when a friend loaned it to me. She lent me the rest (of what she had) and fell in love with them! I have since purchased my own copies from various online places. Even have a signed one!
I have a daughter who needed a book to read and gave her mermaids purse. She LOVED it! I have since started to read them all again. I just heard about Fairy Thorn and can’t wait till Friday when the bookstore will get more in! Thanks for being such a great author Dorothy! Keep em coming. ;o)
I read Jayhawk first! My favorite book is Return to Red Castle, and Shadow Song. I love Dorthy’s books looking forward to a new book! I really didn’t like Aisling Eire or the Mermaid Purse! Loved Jayhawk and Flower in the wind. Love the love stories.
I have read everyone of Dorothy’s books. I had the extreme pleasure of reading Return to Red Castle when it was in manuscript form and fell in love with it. I couldn’t wait for her to finish it. I wish that she would write sequels to the first three. It would be nice to see what Jay, Angela, Jesse, Melissa, and all the others have done. Dorothy is an outstanding author that I would let anyone of any age read her books. I look forward to the new ones.
I have been an avid fan of Dorothy Keddinton since 2002, when a friend loaned the book, Jayhawk, to me. Luckily, she had all the books, passed down to her from her mother, and I read them as quickly as I could get my hands on them. Shortly after I had finished them all, the book, Aisling of Eire, was released, and I wondered if I had gone to literary heaven. This book had every possible wonderful element of a “curl up on a rainy day” read. I have read it at least four times! I am so glad that Dorothy Keddington is writing more books. She is one of my favorite guilty pleasures!
I absolutly LOVE Dorothy Keddington’s books! I first read Return to Red Castle when my mom and i went to the library and she was telling me about these books and how they were her favorite books when she was in highschool. so we checked them all out and i read return to red castle and i fell in love!! i have also read aisling of eire and let me say i think i love that one more than return to red castle! i have also never seen my mom read so much since she found these books again! i plan to read them all and these are my favorite books and im only 14!
Amazing work Dorothy!

I love Dorothy Keddington’s books. My first read was Return to Red Castle, over 25 years ago. I loved Aisling of Eire and felt like her writing matured with me as I got older. Please keep writing!!!
I LOVE Dorothy Keddington books. I’ve been re-reading all of her books AGAIN and felt like checking the internet to see if she was going to write again. Much to my delight I hear about her new book, The Fairy Thorn. I will be purchasing it soon.
I would struggle to pick my favorite, I guess it depends on my mood, because at one point or another each of her books has been my favorite.
I LOVE all of Dorothy Keddington books! The first book I read was Jayhawk. I absolutely loved it. I’m not sure I could pick a favorite because I’ve enjoyed all of them. I’m currently re-reading all of her books and I cannot wait for her new book. I’m so glad to hear that she is still writing. Keep the books coming, they are wonderful.
