Hi Avery, I begin by writing the very best story I can, then I send it to my editor who gives me suggestions for making it better. This video gives you an idea of how the book is put together.
Today is Bailey School Kids Day! Hope you celebrate by having some fun, Debbie

Dear Saina, I do make up my characters, but I get ideas for them from real people, even myself! It takes different amounts of time to write different books. For instance, Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips took two years, while Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots was mostly written in two weeks! I think about what I want to happen first, second, and last when I write (even before I write).
     Shalloniosnaffo, if you don't like your name you might want to think about a nickname. Of course, I didn't like my name when I was a kid, but I like it now.
     Lillian, I am writing book #15 in the Mermaid Tales series right now and I am having great fun. Pearl and Kiki are really mad at each other! You wouldn't believe what Pearl is doing! I hope you enjoyed The Lost Princess and The Secret Sea Horse.
     Jhaniyah, so glad you enjoy my books. Do you have a favorite? Declan, thanks for the fun idea! Have a great weekend and God bless, Debbie

Dear Falconiafoni, I say write away. I think you definitely have a great imagination. Since you don't like your name you might like to read The Worst Name in Third Grade.
Nevella, I'm glad you think the Mermaid Tales books are perfect. Guess what? The newest one comes out in May. Hi Jewel! Have a great Wednesday, Debbie

Hi Amanda, Ghostville Elementary is a very old Ghost Game school. Do you think that is why there are ghosts in the basement? There's a whole classroom of ghosts, but Becky and Ozzie are the main ghosts! Laasya, is Boo your dog? Happy St. Patrick's Day! Tell your parents to check out my Facebook page to win a book today, Debbie

Hi Sam, I'm so happy that you like my books. I do like being an author and feel very blessed and lucky. Laasya, guess what? I am writing a story (not a mermaid story) about a girl named Maria right now! Jewel, did you know that I am from Kentucky? I will be cheering for the UK Wildcats this afternoon. Right now, I live in PA.
Jennifar and Melissa, reading stories is a great way to become a better writer. Of course, writing is the other great way. I hope you'll take a peek at all my writing page has to offer and let me know how it's going. Best wishes, Debbie
