Dear Jacky, I'm glad you are enjoying the Mermaid Tale books. Starfish are pretty neat. The idea for Wish Upon a Starfish came from my daughter. She liked to be in plays in school. She had to much fun in them and she was my star!
Hannah, my books have all been published traditionally, although I have reissued a couple of out-of print ones through Kindle publishing, which you can ask your adults about. Marty the Mudwrestler is one of those books. Have a great day and good luck with your writing, Debbie

Dear Arica, I'm so happy that you enjoy the Mermaid The Polar Bear Express Tales books. Do you have a favorite so far? I hope you'll like The Polar Bear Express. It is definitely one of my favorites. I am excited that you enjoy writing. Have you been to my writing page?
Hannah, how is your book going? Did you get a chance to visit the right side of my writing page? Hope you have a great week. We'll work on books at the same time! Best, Debbie

Dear Jenna, The two hardest books to write for me were Cherokee Sister, which took eight years to write, and Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips, which took two years to write (it will soon be a graphic novel)!
Kaden, It costs nothing to write a book. Some people like to self-publishe and pay to have it done. That can get expensive. I send my books to traditional publishers like Simon and Schuster and Scholastic to ask them to publish my books. Luckily, the have! If you are interested in writing, I hope you'll check out the right side of my writing page. Have a great week, Debbie

Dear Hannah, Click on this link to go to the Mermaid Quiz. It is on the activity section my Mermaid Tales page. My writing page has some writing tips and activities that I hope you will like-especially the right side.
Lucia, it is so cool that you have your own book club. Very neat! Have you seen my Mermaid Tales book club ideas page? Kiki has her own book club in Books vs Looks. I hope you don't have trouble like she did! Since you are interested in being a writer you might like to visit my writing page. The right side has tips and activities for kids. Have a great weekend, Debbie

Dear Lila, I'm so happy you enjoyed A Whale of a Tale. Kiki is like me in that she likes to real a lot! My two youngest kids, my mom and I actualy went whale watching in Alaska. We saw some, but didn't get to see them jump out of the water. My nephew was in the Navy and he actually swam with whales! He told me what it was like so I could put in my story.
Happy new year, Debbie
