Dear Grace, I found out about Cleopatra supposedly being Leprechauns Don't Play Basketballmy ancester on Ancestry.com.  I don't know how to prove it for sure, but it is kind of fun!
     Jamie, I am so glad you like the Bailey School Kids books.  Do you have a favorite?  It is cool that you want to be a writer.  I hope you'll like the advice on my writing page.  Have an awesome weekend, Debbie

The Secret Sea HorseDear JJ, my grandmother inspired me to write because she always kept a diary.  I hope you will take a peek at my writing page for advice, but my best advice for someone who wants to be a writer is this:  read a lot and write a lot!
     Hi Grace, it was fun Skyping yesterday.  I get ideas for the Mermaid Tales books from everywhere, even from things that happened to me when I was a kid!  For instance, when I was in second grade I failed a spelling test.  The same thing happens to Echo in The Secret Seahorse.
     Cooper, do you think words like fintastic are too confusing to be used in my stories?  If a lot of people feel that way, I will not use them as much.  Yes, I agree there are underwater cameras, but people made those.  Vampires don't Wear Polka DotsMerpeople would not have them, would they?
     Steve, my first book, Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots, came out 26 years ago!  I wrote it with Marcia Thornton Jones.  Julia, I think someone may have been kidding me, don't you?
      Hope you all had an awesome World Read Aloud Day yesterday, but hopefully your teachers or parents will read aloud to you every day, Debbie

Unicorns Don't Give Sleigh RidesHi Rachael, I LOVE your idea because I love horses.  I have written a couple of books about horses with my friend Marcia like Ghosts Don't Ride Wild Horses and Unicorns Don't Give Sleigh Rides.  Hope you might like to read one of them.  Happy WRAD16, Debbie (World Read Aloud Day 2016)
