Debbie Dadey, Children's Author - Debbie Talks to Kids

Hi Sara, hope you like my ebooks. Baylie, I love your name! Let me know what you think of This Side of Magic (Keyholders #1). Leah, yes the illustrator often comes up with much of the cover, but he/she has much input from the cover designer, art director, and editor. The author ususally doesn't have much say in what's on the cover.
Kaitlyn, Hilary, and Meghan the book is called Whistler's Hollow. I have sold 158 stories to be made into books and I was 27 when I started writing professionally. Mrs. Urso and class, it was great fun SKYPING with you. Mrs. Urso's class, did you know your teacher worked long into the evening to make that happen? Isn't she wonderful? Megan, my next book is about pirate treasure: Treasure in Trident City. Have a great Friday, Debbie

Joey, your story sounds very cool. Is it your very own cat? Mrs. Urso's class, guess what? I'll be SKYPING with you today to celebrate World Read Aloud Day so I'll answer your questions about the Keyholders and Ghostville series in person! If you aren't in Mrs. Urso's class, let your teacher know that I SKYPE or Facetime for free and can visit you this Friday to celebrate Read Across America Day. Teachers can contact me here. Read a good book today, Debbie

Hi Megan, I usually answer letters the next day, so you can look for your answer the day after you write me. It will be on Debbie Talks. Natalie, I'm glad you like my books. I'm going to go work on one right now! Have a great day, Debbie

Hi Megan, you can find my answers to your letters here on Debbie Talks. Hey Shane, great to hear from you! I'm with you on the covers, but surprisingly when I visit schools the kids like the new covers better. They are certainly scarier! I think Eddie would probably be the most fun to hang out with of the Bailey School Kids, but he'd also be the one most likely to get in trouble too! Shane, I hope you'll like me on Facebook.
Yes, Maggie! More Mermaid Tales are on the way. The eighth one comes out in May, Treasure in Trident City. Leah, it was fun visiting your school and I'm glad you like my books. I'm looking forward to visiting Stoneybrook Elementary soon! Have a great week, Debbie

Dear Maya, I hope you can check out one of my books at your library. I'll be at the CNJIRA book festival near you on March 22nd. Maybe I'll see you there and you can get a book. Alex, I put my picture here so you can see me. Leah, you can find out more about writing and making books on my writing page. Megan, don't worry about mispelling my name. It happens a lot. I bet it happens to you too. I hope you'll enjoy The Lost Princess. It was nice of Riley to get it signed for you. Kaitlyn, I've sold 158 stories to be made into books (but I've written a lot more!) Hunter, thanks for you fun idea! Sydney, you have an amazing school. It was exciting to visit, Debbie
