Watch out Ohio! Here I come. I'm looking forward to visiting the kids in Monclovia later this week. I hope they've been checking out my website.

Hi Mimi, did I say I would dedicate a book to you? Tell me more. Marissa, I've written about 147 books. Do you have a favorite? Tyler, where did you hear about Moon Dust Cookies? I'm getting hungry just thinking about them.

Right now, I'm going to visit Jungle Joe and his critters (skunks, pythons, and such) for research for a book. His website is www.animaljunction.com. I met him when he came to my son's birthday party. Hopefully, the python won't get me, Debbie

    fall leaves Today is the first day of fall. As I look out my office window, I can see a tree that has some orange leaves on it already. Halloween will be here before we know it! I was in a store the other day that already had Halloween candy for sale. My favorite is Butterfingers candy. Yum!
     A big hello to Jordyn. It is so awesome that you like to write stories. I hope you'll check out the writing section of my website. Of course, it'd be fun to read your story. You can send it to me in care of Scholastic 557 Broadway NY, NY 10012.  Another big hi to Jace, I'm so glad you liked Mermaids Don't Run for Track. My favorite part is the end, where Eddie gets a surprise from the mermaid. mermaid
     I'm anxiously awaiting word from my editor about book three of the new Keyholder series (the first two books come out in April/May of 2009). I thought it turned out well, so I'm curious to see what she thinks. Now, I'm off to finish audio taping for a cartoon and to work on a picture book. But first, lunch! ttyl, Debbie

Dear Friends in Texas, my heart goes out to you. I used to live in Dallas, so all of you are in my prayers.

Thanks Brenton for your advice. I'll check with my editor to see if I can talk her into it! Hi to dsouza!

I just 'met' the illustrator of the Bailey School Kids junior chapter books via email. Jojo seems so nice! I hope to have stuff about her up soon on the events page under About Us.

Have a good week, Debbie

Hi! I survived my first tropical storm this week. Wow, the rain was amazing. I can't imagine a hurricane!

Seetha, I'm so glad you like my books. Simra, Marcia and I got the idea for our first Bailey School Kids book from a really bad day. Maybe if you ever have a bad day, you could write about it.

Caroline, Mrs. Jeepers would think "American" superheroes were very cute. You sound very talented. I can't wait to see your work.

Now, I have a big question. Since it's a new school year, should I continue Bridgett's Blog? Last year she was in third grade. Should she be in third forever, or should she graduate to fourth? What do you guys think? wwyd, Debbie

Wow! Are you ready? School starts tomorrow! Or maybe RockStar you're already in school where you live. I think the beginning of the school year is very exciting. I mean you never know what the next school year will bring. I mean one of my books could be made into a hit movie :) or I could become a rock star!! Who knows?

Caroline, how cool is it that you made me fan art? I'll have to look on youtube to see what you were talking about. You can send it to 557 Broadway NY, NY. 10017. Simra, I'm glad you liked Trolls Don't Ride Rollercoasters. Did you know that I am totally scared of roller coasters?

Rashad, I'm glad you like my books. I think Eddie is a lot of fun too. Actually, Godzilla Ate my Homework and Champ were written by my good friend, Marcia Jones. You can find out more about her HERE.

Elias, how amazing that you've read almost all the Bailey School Kids books. I think it would be great if they made the BSK into a movie too. They have been discussing doing something for a while, but nothing yet. John, I like your idea about writing a book with me. What if I put something on my website where we could do that? I"ll look into it.

Oops, Stephanie I forgot to tell you that s is for Sue. I hope everyone has an amazingly fun, best first week of school ever. ttyl, Debbie
