Dear Lily, I am lucky enough to be traditionally published, so I am paid to write my stories. When they are published I earn money depending on how many copies are sold. It's called royalties. My next book is called Sleepover at the Haunted Museum. Have a blessed day, Debbie

Dear Friends, Today is Bailey School Kids Day! Here are some ways to celebrate. Hope you'll check out my Bailey School Kids kids club page for more fun. Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots graphic novel As an extra treat, the Free Comic Book people have selected the Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dot graphic novel to give away for free on August 14th! Who doesn't love a free book!
Lily, I am not sure how to do emojis on my laptop, only my phone. I see my website program does allow me to add some though. I'll try using them more often! I grew up not particularly well off, so to me I'm a little rich-but maybe not to other people. Biking with your whole family sounds so fun. I love the idea of writing about a girl with freckles and short hair. I need to put that in my next book! Have a lovely day and God bless, Debbie

Dear Kayla M., You can find the Trident City Tide on the writing section of the Mermaid Tales Kid's Club page. Here's where you can make your own. Have Slime Time fun!
Lily, while I look at my Kid's Talk every weekday morning, I usually don't on the weekends. I totally understand your frustration with your brothers. I have two as well! I have one older and one younger brother. We often got into trouble together! So sorry about your slime situtaion. I wonder if there is a good story about freckles? Maybe you should write one about freckles and slime! Have a great week, Debbie

Dear Lily, I wear glasses to read and use the computer. I love freckles. When I was a kid I wanted The Slime Wars to have them. Maybe those other kids are jealous! I check the Kid's Talk every morning and then I do my writing. I understand that not everyone likes to write like I do, but the winners will be chosen for creativity. There will be separated into two groups, 1-2 and 3-4.
Yes, my kids did like slime when they were younger. In fact, my oldest son and I wrote two books about slime!
I wrote a book called The Worse Name in Third Grade about a girl named Bridgett Butt. The blog is her's. I don't know where Glenville, TN is, but my area does have a lot of tourists. I live away from the touristy area though. Have a super awesome weekend, Debbie

Dear Autumn, What do you think a mermaid's voice sounds like? I've always wondered.
Lily, I live in the Smoky Mountain area of Tennessee. I meet kids virtually (usually through Zoom) through their schools by doing author visits or read-alouds. My next free read-aloud is May 7th. Ask your teacher if they'd be interested in having me read aloud to your class. If you homeschool with a parent, I could still do it. An adult would need to contact me about it here. Have you considered a virtual book club-maybe with other homeschoolers? For the Haunted Ship Writing contest, feel free to write about anything. There does need to be something about a haunted ship in the story though. You could even make it silly! Good luck with it, Debbie
