Happy Thanksgiving Dominic, I started writing because I enjoy reading so much. In fact, I stayed up a little late to finish a book last night. I was about 27-28 when I first started writing professionally. Hannah, I drive a red convertable. It's so fun to have the top down, but it's too cold now. Ciera, enjoy your last full day of school before your break. Hope everyone has lots of fun books to read over the holiday and gets lots of goodies to eat. Believe it or not, my husband and daughter practically fight over the green bean casserole! Best, Debbie

      Hi Karmyn, I like to do lots of things like write, read, play Happy Thanksgiving tennis, take my dogs for walks, and go places with my children and husband. I really enjoy celebrating holidays with my family. It's fun putting up decorations.
     Ciera, you'll need to ask your librarian when your book order will come in, but I bet it will be there when you get back from Thanksgiving break. Do you have the week off like my kids do?
     Nabila, hi to your wonderful teacher and Happy Thanksgiving, Debbie

Happy leaves Hi Kwali, I'm glad you think my books are funny. I do enjoy reading funny books myself. My favorite funny book that I wrote is Ghouls Don't Scoop Ice Cream. I think you could get the books quicker at the library or bookstore than I could send them. Ciera, I was definitely scared to sky-dive, but it did help me to write my story better. I think a soccer and dance book would be fun. Hannah, I'm excited to be writing a new book. My favorite part is to actually write a new story. Rewriting it and making it better is a lot harder for me. Have a great Thanksgiving, Debbie

fall Hi Ciera, hope you will like your new books. I do like your title idea. Bruce, you never know-you might end up in a book.
Hannah, I had written 147 stories that have been made into books. I hope you'll enjoy Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers. A big hello to Fatima, thanks for your kind words. Jenna, my oldest dog is named Bailey. She is 14. Skip is 10. Shadow is four. One of my favorite books is The Worst Name in Third Grade. A favorite that I didn't write is Where The Red Fern Grows. ttyl, Debbie

fall leaves      Hi to the great kids at Switlik Elementary. It was fun visiting your school. You guys have great ideas.
     Dominic, I was 29 when I sold my first book and it was Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots. Ciera, I'm glad you liked my first book. I hope you'll also enjoy Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips. That was the hardest Bailey School Kids book to write. Say hi to Mrs. Toddings and your class for me.
     Alanna, every series has it's own set of unique characters. I have written nine series. Isabella, thanks for your awesome ideas. Anthony, I get inspiration from everywhere, even from the newspaper and from schools I visit! Summer, I do like being a professional writer. Sometimes it's hard, just like anything, but it's really nice to be able to work at something I love to do.
     Jessica, I'm not giving away the ending of Whistler's Hollow.   I hope you'll check it out at your library. ttyl, Debbie
