Hi Bella, it was fun Skyping with your school yesterday. It takes different amounts of time to write different books. Most of the Mermaid Tales books take about a month, but the first one took a lot longer because I was creating character sketches and building an underwater world on paper.
Lillian, I am married to a very, very smart scientist named Eric Dadey. We have been married for 30 years!! He is a great guy to get along with me . Have a super duper Thursday, Debbie

Dear Lillian, I'm a little sleepy this morning, but I am fine and glad to be alive! I as born in 1959, so you can figure out how old I am. (By the way, I love your name. My grandmother's name was Lillian Bailey, but she went by Lillie.) Ellie, it depends on the book as to how many times it is revised. Some need alot, some not so much. For instance, Marcia and I totally changed Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips at least six different time and it took us two years. Have a wonderful Wednesday. I'm looking forward to two Skypes this morning with two different schools. Best, Debbie

Hi Elias, how are you? I'm pretty good. My youngest son had a birthday yesterday and it was fun celebrating. He's a wonderful kid. Best, Debbie

Dear Maggie, I do have three children. My son Nathan and I wrote two books together, Slime Wars and Slime Time. My highest level books would be King of the Kooties (now available as an ebook), Whistler's Hollow, Cherokee Sister, and the series The Keyholders. Have a great weekend, Debbie

Dear Svetlana, did you know that I live close to Philadelphia? Hopefully I'll visit your library some day. Aren't libraries awesome? Olivia, I am so happy that you like the first Mermaid Tales book, Trouble at Trident Academy. Battle of the Best Friends is #2. Which color tail would you want to have if you were a mermaid and could choose?
Emily, you have been quite busy and I hope you like second grade. I really loved my second grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Newcomber, but she let everyone call her Mrs. Cucumber. She was great. Since you've started playing soccer, I wonder if you'd like Zombies Don't Play Soccer. Have a great weekend, Debbie
