Dear Alicia, your email came back undelivered so I'm answering it here in the hopes you will see it. Here are the answers to your questions: I have three children: 15, 18, and 25. I love to write because anything can happen in a story and it's fun to create new adventures. I do believe in Jesus and I'm very grateful for all my blessings. Like everyone, I've had some bad times but God has seen me through them. I visited Germany a few years ago and found it much like where I live now-Pennsylvania.
Abby, I start out by making a plan of what will happen first, second, and so on in my stories. I do this by brainstorming and thinking of all the possiblities. I think about what my characters will be like and where the story will take place. Then I just start writing. After I'm at a good stopping point, I rewrite, rewrite, rewrite. I hope you'll watch my video telling how I write my stories.
Carly, I do think Coach Waterford is a mermaid, do you? Mr. Jenkins is still waiting to get his ship. Can you tell I like mermaids-check out the picture of my new series-coming in 2012. Hope you had a great Halloween. I was a biker! ttyl, Debbie

Happy Halloween! Hope you have a haunting good day! Christina, I'm sure you'll rock as a clown. Caroline, I'm so glad you like my books. Would you make a good mermaid character? Andrew, not sure what you mean about references for characters. Perhaps this link will help. Alex, love your idea! I do like writing about Frankenstein. Madyson, I'm glad you liked The Bride of Frankenstein Doesn't Bake Cookies. Maybe you'd both enjoy Frankenstein Doesn't Slam Hockey Pucks. Got to go, suddenly I'm hungry for a cookie, Debbie

Hey Kacee, I think you should read my books everyday! I don't want you to cry. Carly, it was so good to hear from you through your teacher. She sounds great! I'm so glad you are enjoying Mermaids Don't Run Track. I do think Coach Waterford is a mermaid, do you? Mr. Jenkins is still trying to get his ship just like I'm still trying to get a log cabin in the woods! You may have noticed I like merfolk-my next series is all about them! I just finished a book where they have to escape a shark attack! Have a great weekend and watch out for sharks. (Did you know the ocean's health actually depends on sharks? Who knew?) be right back, Debbie

Noelle and Sriyaa, I get ideas from everywhere! Sometimes even from kids who write me. Christina, I am rooting for you means that I am on your side or pulling for you. Guess what? I saw Katie Perry in concert at a Jingle Bell Ball a few years ago with my daughter. She was dressed in a funny Christmas tree costume and sang really well. Have a great week before Halloween. Do you know what you costume you are wearing? I do, Debbie
