Dear Ellie, I enjoy being an author. I love making up Dream of the Blue Turtle stories. The hard part for me is changing them to make them better-rewriting! My friend, Marcia Jones, and I wrote a book called Mermaids Don't Run Track. I enjoyed learning mermaid myths. So when an editor asked me to write a mermaid series, I thought it would be great fun and it is! I learned that some mermaids can see into the future (like Kiki in Dream of the Blue Turtle). Thanks for writing such a nice note, Debbie

Dear Sylvia, I did have a lovely Thanksgiving. My son and his new wife came for a visit! I hope you had a good holiday.
Sue, I suppose my biggest website decision was to totally remake my website. I used to share a site with Marcia Thornton Jones. Thanks for sharing your fun story! Best, Debbie

Ninjas Don't Bake Pumpkin Pies Happy Thanksgiving Kaleigh and everyone! Sue, I enjoy hearing from Suzy. Suzy, I wondered what happened to the cuckoo theme in your most recent post. Hope you all get to enjoy good food, fun family time, and good books this holiday, Debbie

Dear Kaleigh, I hope you enjoy Flower Girl Dreams. My niece was the flower girl in my wedding. I think I will keep this column since you enjoy it.
Suzy, I thought it was funny when the teacher was a green bird. Why does Emily say, "This stinks." Doesn't she like yearbooks? I was an extra in a movie called The Music Never Stops. I have fun researching the ocean creatures in the Mermaid Tales series. Sue, I enjoy Suzy's letters.
Vanathi, I like dolphins too! I really like the dolphin on the cover of The Lost Princess. Lofia, yes I do enjoy those stories. I do like unicorns! In fact, my next Mermaid Tales book is about the unicorn of the sea! Syliva, I had such fun learning about sea turtles for The Dream of the Blue Turtle. Did you know that we can help sea turtles by not using plastic grocery bags The Abominable Snowman Doesn't Roast Marshmallows (or recycling them)?
Brayden, when Marcia and I wrote the Bailey School Kids books we wrote them like the characters really were those creatures! Our editor asked us to make it a question. Jessie, we are alike in three ways: my favorite color is blue, my favorite animal is a dog, and I love to read in my free time! Nicole, I don't plan to stop writing anytime soon! Francine, I hope I'm on the nice list! How about you? Have an awesome week and happy Thanksgiving, Debbie

Dear Suzy, I am so curious. What does the teacher's cuckoo clock look like?
Huria, I am so glad it worked out for you! Yeah!
Francine and Nicole, I am thrilled that you are enjoying my books. Nicole, I agree that reading is better than TV! I am off to visit a school in Kentucky. Have a super day, Debbie
