Greetings from my messy office. Anastasia, I'm sorry you were sick. I hope you are feeling better. Carley, my first book came out in 1990. Before I became a full-time writer I was a teacher and then a librarian. Hello to Remi, Ellie, and Ebony. Ebony, please tell your teacher I said hello. Kendall, I get ideas from everywhere! You might like to look on my writing page to help you next time your write a story. Cassidy, the Bailey School Kids are my favorite series so far. Best, Debbie

Alex A., I'm glad you like Bogeymen Don't Play Football. Check out my picture in the crowd scene. Hello to David and Cathye (hope your Mom is well). Molly, I hope you'll try to be nicer to your brothers. I know how it is. I have two brothers myself. Timmy, Trisha, and Jenna-your ideas were awesome! Thanks!
Patrick, there has been some talk of a Bailey School Kids movie. It think it would be cool. Vincenzo, I get ideas from everywhere, even from the newspaper. Right now, I'm trying to think of a good name for an undersea story. Emily and Wesley, did you know I took karate lessons for Angels Don't Know Karate? ttyl, Debbie

Hey thanks to everyone who wrote me. Bob and Paul, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Did you know that everything on a computer can be traced? Leeza, I've only made one story about dancing-Bigfoot Doesn't Square Dance. My picture is on page 8-I'm Ranger Lily! I have no idea how many rejections I've had-but it's been alot! A big hello to the wonderful ladies who wrote such lovely words to me: Linda, Ariella, Makayla, Jenna, Lizzy, Molly, Nikita, Heather, and Molly.   Gianna and Lana, I hope you'll read Whistler's Hollow to find out what was in the attic.   Eleni, Marcia and I met when we taught at the same school. I do love to read! Remi, I'm glad you like Trolls Don't Ride Rollercoasters. Sometimes I think of the title before I start writing a story and sometimes when I read the story outloud after I've finished writing it, I see something that I think would make a great title. Bennett, I'm happy to say my children are doing well. I have written 151 stories to be made into books. I write some each day and it adds up. If you write one page a day-in a year you'll have 365 pages!
     Ashley, I'm happy you like Mummies Don't Coach Softball. The mummy idea actually came from the Field Museum in Chicago.   Felicia, I thought Bridgett's was the worst. What do you think? Molly and Agam, I hope you'll read The Worst Name in Third Grade to find what's the worst name.
     Molly and Madigan, it was great to hear from you. I really hope your brother can get his own room. Is there another place for him? You sound like fantastic girls. Michelle, do you like to chew bubblegum? Daniel and Michael, my first book came out in 1990. Michael, I'm still trying to figure out a name for the book I'm writing now.
     Emma, Somi, Molly, Leah, Elyssa, and Gianna thanks so much for you totally fabulous ideas. I do enjoy going to schools and I visit quite a few every year. I recently visited Pine Road Elementary and the kids were totally super there. They had a contest where every classroom decorated their doors. You would not believe how great they were. Their librarian is going to send me picture soon so I can put them up.       Alexandra, I'm sorry your little nephew was scared by the new cover of Ghouls Don't Scoop Ice Cream. It is creepy! I plan to be in NCY the week of May 16th. I hope you are feeling better. Connor, I like being an author because you can make anything happen in a story.
     Marina, the idea for Vampires Do Hunt Marshmallow Bunnies came from my daughter.  She loves to eat Peeps and Marshmallow Bunnies!  brb, Debbie

Molly, thanks for your great idea. Did you know I did make a book about an art teacher (with my friend Marcia)? It's called Aliens Don't Wear Braces. Molly, you can find out Bridgett's last name by reading the book. I hope you'll check it out.
Taylor and Christina, I am 1,000,000,000 minus 500,000,000 minus 400,000,000 plus 1 minus 100,000,000 plus fifty and I have a birthday on May 18th! Taylor, I like to read, volunteer, and play tennis. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I enjoy planting flowers. Have a beautiful day, Debbie
