I saw four deer this morning! They were eating in the cornfield beside my house. It was misty and it looked like a painting.
Tithi, I'm so glad you like my stories. One of my favorites for this time of year is Lizards in the Lunch Line, one of the Swamp Monster in Third Grade series. I like the part where one Swamp Monster scares another with a Halloween costume (Something I am sure you would never do!) Have a great day, Debbie

Debbie Dadey Hey Catherine, I have been having the greatest fun writing about this girl who is twelve. Her name is Lancome, her best friend is Meg, and her mom wants to be a movie star. Lancome accidently meets this really good-looking movie star that her friend Meg adores. Things go totally opposite of the way they are supposed to go and that makes things interesting. I think that's the cool thing about writing-anything can happen! ttyl, Debbie

Caitlin, I'm so glad you liked the Keyholders books. I think I'm a little bit like Penny. When I was in elementary school I loved to race and only one kid (Billy) in my class could beat me. My kids went to Bridge Valley and Shephardson Elementary schools in Fort Collins. We really liked living there-it was hard to leave! Have you been to the crazy metal zoo that they have there? I think it's called The Swetsville Zoo. The owner makes awesome animals out of scrap parts, very neat. brb, Debbie

My grandmother really inspired me to write. She kept a diary every day and I thought that was pretty cool. Hayley, she was very special to me. In fact, the Bailey School Kids books are named after my Grandmother Bailey. But I also like to read, so I think that inspired me to want to write too. In The Worst Name in Third Grade, Bridgett writes about what her perfect school would be like. What would your perfect school be like? Many blessings, Debbie

When I was a librarian, kids like to read about how monsters movies were made. In fact, the kids practically fought over this set of monster movie books. This was in my mind and then one day my teacher friend Marcia Jones and I had a bad day at our school. The kids were goofing off and we joked that if we were monster teachers everyone would mind us. DING! A bell went off and we thought how fun it would be to write about a monster teacher. Taft, that's how we came up with Mrs. Jeepers and the rest of the Bailey School Kids characters came next. brb, Debbie
