     Hey guys, I'm back in Pennsylvania today. I enjoyed my trip to Michigan and hope to go back some day. Tomorrow I am doing a Skype visit with two second grade classes in New Jersey. If you don't know what a Skype is, it's where we can talk to each other over the computer (like on TV).
     Andrew, I thought it was fun writing Knights Don't Teach Piano because I like to play the piano and also because I like stories about King Arthur and knights. Austin, you have a great school. I like to read, so that made me want to write books. Artasia, u r cool too!
     Stephen and Andrew, I'm glad you like Dragons Don't Cook Pizza. Most of the Bailey School Kids books took about a month to write. It would be fun to put a dino (and Andrew) in a book! To write a long book, you just keep trying!
     Keely, to get the Worst Name in Third Grade, you can click here and ask your parents to order it for you or you can ask your local bookstore to get it for you. Jerry, I get inspiration from everywhere. The idea for Robots Don't Catch Chicken Pox actually came from my lovely daughter Becky. Jordan and Angelina, in my free time I love to read! Jordan, I'm glad you liked my gremlin story. Alysse, do happy you enjoy the Keyholder series. Lizzy, I love dogs! In fact, I have three. So many of my books have dogs in them, including several of the Bailey School Kids books. Marcia Jones and I wrote a whole series about dogs called Barkley School for Dogs. I do remember you.
     Gina, I'm glad you like my ghouls story. Benjamin, my ghouls story is definitely one of my favorites.  I like mysteries too! (I also like funny books and books about history). Tyler and Davianna, I DO think it's fun being an author. I feel so blessed. Rachel and Victor, I do think Mrs. Jeepers is a vampire, do you? Abigail and Kyle, I do hope to write more Bailey School books, but it is up to my editor and how many books I sell. Emma, I'm happy you like my Ghostville Elementary series. Was it scary? Jenna, going to Hawaii was a great way to research Wolfmen Don't Hula Dance. Abby, I like all my characters, but I must admit I do have fun writing about Eddie. A big hello to Chad and Katherine! Micah, I have never seen a sea monster, although I have been to Loch Ness in Scotland. Kevin and Micah, did you know there are actually four Swamp Monster in Third Grade books?
     Jacob, you are right. Other people do proofread my stories. Julie! I'm glad you like my books, but please don't stay up ALL night reading them. I'm thinking Mrs. Jeepers might have been in the basement in Mrs. Jeepers Is Missing. Tykena, you can order my books through my website or ask for them at your local bookstore. If they don't have the one you want, you can order it. Ethan, my oldest son was interested in going to space camp. I thought it would be fun and it gave me great ideas for things to put in Mrs. Jeepers in Outer Space. Karina, it takes different amounts of time to write a book, for me between one week and eight years! I have sold 151 stories to be made into books. Emma, I'll tell Nathan you enjoyed Slime Wars. It'll make his day. Arianna, I'm happy that Ghosts Do Splash in Puddles made you laugh. It took about a month to write. Thank you guys for writing and have a great day, Debbie

Greetings from the US border. I'm looking out the window to Canada. I'm in Port Huron, Michigan, which is on a river, a river that's full of chunks of ice. It looks like a floating glacier.
Sydney, I enjoyed visiting your school. I hope you'll like The Worst Name in Third Grade. Hope to see you at Thomas Edison School tonight at 6:00. Keegan, it takes different amounts of time to write a book. The fastest was one week-the longest was eight years! Hi Angelia and Erika! Dominic, I have lots of favorites, like Skeletons Don't Play Tubas. Nathan Dadey is my favorite author (and my son!). ttyl, Debbie

Natalie, hope you are enjoying Happy Boo Day to You! Jadyn, I'm happy you like my books. Kendyl, I will sign as many books as I can while I'm there, so feel free to bring Cupid Does Flip Hamburgers. Yes, Camille, I have written other books besides Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips. I hope you'll check them out on my book page. If you keep scrolling down you'll see all my books. Crockett, I get ideas for the Bailey School Kids books from everywhere, even the newspaper! ttyl, Debbie

Camille, I'm glad you are enjoying Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips. I'm sorry the cover is too scary for your sister. How old is she?
Allie, please tell your teacher I said hello. Hope everyone has a great day. I'll be watching my daughter in her school play tonight. I bet it will be great, Debbie

Hi Andrew, I hope you are enjoying Pirates Don't Wear Pink Sunglasses. I visited one school and everyone was wearing pink sunglasses! It was funny. Although at my house, it's more like Snow Monsters Do Drink Hot Chocolate that Alex mentioned. Hey Alex, we're out of hot chocolate at our house, it's snowing, our fireplace is broken, and it's cold. I've got to get more hot chocolate! Is it cold where you are? Dominic, I'm so glad I'm your favorite author. Did you know that Bogeymen Don't Play Football has my picture in it? I'm sitting in the bleachers, watching a football game. You may recognize other people in the stands.
Lydia, glad you are enjoying Mrs. Jeepers Batty Vacation. Did you know that I've been to Romania and Transylvania? Parts of them are quite beautiful. Tianna, I hope you'll try one of my books. A big hello to Ainsley in kindergarten! ttyl and see some of you soon, Debbie
