Hi Kelly, so happy you liked Trouble at Trident Academy. Yes, there will be more Mermaid Tales books. I am actually writing #16 right now.
Hi JJ, thanks for writing for your sisters. To answer Penny, I just had a birthday! I was born on May 18, 1959. Opal, it takes different amounts of time for me to write a book. The shortest: two weeks/the longest: eight years! I hope Kayla will check out the videos, podcasts, and activities on my writing page. I hope it helps! JJ, I had a pretty good childhood, although we didn't have a lot of money. We did go camping and even boat riding on the Ohio River. I had a dog named Spike that I loved a lot! I loved to read and that certainly helped inspire me to want to write. Hello to your brothers. Did you know I have a brother named Frank too?
Dean, I'm so happy you like my stories. Do you have a favorite? Rylee, good luck on your book report of Vampires Do Hunt Marshmallow Bunnies. Have you seen my book report page? Have a wonderful Tuesday and God bless, Debbie

Happy Monday morning Marissa! I'm so happy that Frankenstein Doesn't Slam Hockey Pucks you enjoy the Mermaid Tales series. Thanks so much for your fun idea for the Bailey School Kids series. Did you know that there are several sports Bailey School Kids books, such as Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball, Bogeymen Don't Play Football, Zombies Don't Play Soccer, Dracula Doesn't Play Kickball, and Mummies Don't Coach Softball? Of those sports books, I'd say Leprechauns Don't Play Baskeball and Zombies Don't Play Soccer are my favorites. Do you have a favorite?
Isobel, your school rocks! I hope you'll take a peek at some of the things on my writing page. Good luck with your writing! Best, Debbie

Hi Beatrix, I'm so glad you like the Mermaid Tales series. How fun to have your own mermaid tail! I actually made one and my daughter wore it to some of my booksignings. I have been on a diet and I told my daughter if I reach my goal I would wear my mermaid costume. Do you think I should? Alysha, I hope you'll find book #11, The Polar Bear Express, at your library or bookstore. If they don't have it, ask them to order it.
Matt, your school is amazing. I've never been to a school that has an author event like yours every year. Luke, I don't have any new books coming out in June. Dylan, I just had The Polar Bear Express come out this month and in September I have Mermaid Tales #12 coming out (Wish Upon A Starfish).
Marissa, thanks for your fun idea for the Bailey School Kids series. Have an amazing day. I am off to church, Debbie

Guess what Daniel? Your school was my last school visit of the school year. I'm glad you won The Polar Bear Express. Caitlin and Amelia,it is definitely one of my favorite books. Riley, I am thrilled you like Mermaid Tales. It would be very cool to see a real mermaid! Yes, Noni, the Polar Bear Express is brand new, so hopefully your store will have it soon. It is so cool that you are going to a horse camp. I love horses and I have always wanted one. In fact, I have written a few books with horses. I have three children. God bless you!
Hello to Dylan, Jimmy, James, and Sean. Paul, thanks for your fun idea!
Shalika, we got the names for the Bailey School Kids characters from a phone book. It's a great source of names. Olivia, I do think Mr. Jenkins is a werewolf, do you? Ella, the name Bailey came from my grandmother, Lillie Bailey. Briana, I have sold 162 stories to be made into books. Kaleb, I do like pizza! In fact, I have written two books about pizza: Dragons Don't Cook Pizza and Triplet Trouble and the Pizza Party. Have an awesome weekend, Debbie

Dear Noni, I am so sorry to hear that your mother passed away. She is in heaven with my mother, who died in a terrible car accident last August. I will keep you in my prayers because I know a bit of what you are going through. I know Martha and Jack are blessed to have you in their life. My birthday was May 18th. Happy early birthday to you!
Hi Grace, do you have a favorite book of mine? Have a good weekend, Debbie
