Dear Noraan, This morning I had cereal, yogurt, and blueberries for breakfast, but your waffles sound great! Suzy, it is great to hear from you again. Thanks for recommending the Bailey School Kids books. Good luck with writing your own fun stories. Would you be interested in writing a short article for the next MerStyle magazine?
Mairam, It sounds like you had a tough day! Congratulations on your baby brother. Guess what? I have been writing about a character who gets a new baby brother. She isn't too happy about it at first, but then she learns to love him. I hope the same thing happens to you! Evony, thanks for your awesome idea. You may have guessed that I like horses. I have written and co-authored several books about them. Of course, The Secret Sea Horse is about a different type of horse! Have a blessed week, Debbie

Dear Cristian and Allan, I'm so glad you liked Frankenstein Frankenstein Doesn't Plant Petunias Doesn't Plant Petunias. I had such fun writing the Bailey School Kids books with Marcia Jones. Allan, so glad you thought it was hilarious. I like mysteries too! Marcia and I enjoyed that story so much we wrote three more books about Frankenstein: Frankenstein Doesn't Slam Hockey Pucks, Frankenstein Doesn't Start Food Fights, and The Bride of Frankenstein Doesn't Bake Cookies! Maybe I like Frank so much because my oldest brother is named Frank! Have a great weekend, Debbie

Dear Janette, I'm older than your aunt and I like mermaids too! I wonder why Kaylynn is being mean? Does she have a hard time in school or does she not have any friends? Sadly, there is usually a reason when people are mean. If it happens again, you should probably tell your teacher so Kaylynn can get the help she needs.
Sandy, Corey, and Viana-you guys are awesome! Have a great holiday, Debbie

Dear Sandy and Corey, I think you girls are very lucky! I always wanted to have a sister. Sandy, you are so sweet to read to your sister. Corey, I like red hair too! I am so glad you are enjoying the Adventures of the Bailey School Kids books. Do you have a favorite?
Kaleigh, I know how you feel. I have had ideas that I have seen turn up in other books. One series even has illustrations that look a lot like the Bailey School Kids books! Ideas are not copyrighted though. Names would probably depend on how unique the names are. I hope you'll check out my writing page. At the bottom you will find magazines that publish kid's stories. That is a great place to start. Good luck! Best, Debbie

Dear Jenna, I'm so glad you are enjoying the Mermaid Tales books. You are so nice to share with your friend! Guess what? The next Mermaid Tales book comes out on Tuesday! It is Fairy Chase. Echo wants to find a fairy. Do you think she'll find one with Rocky's help?
Kamea, I wish you good luck with your writing. I'm impressed that you are reading the Chilldren's Writers and Illustrator's Market Guide. It is a great place to start as is the Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators. You might also find some useful things on my writing page. Best, Debbie
