Dear Bently and Quincey, Thanks for your amazing new verse to the Mermaid Tales song. I posted it today on my Twitter and Facebook author page. For some reason I'm having trouble getting it on my website, but I am determined! You did great! Thanks, Debbie

Dear Judah, I'm so glad you are enjoying the Bailey School Kids books. The ideas for the monsters came Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers from lots of different places-vampires were the scariest monster to me when I was a kid. Mummies Don't Coach Softball came from a visit to the Field Museum in Chicago. Bigfoot Doesn't Square Dance from a newspaper article. Do you have a favorite BSK story? Did you know the series has been optioned for a TV series? It would be fun to see. It's cool that we're both from KY. I grew up in Henderson, but I lived in Lexington before I started moving around the country with my husband (for his job).
Ella, the name Blue would also be a good first name. You are so clever! Swim free, Debbie

Dear Ella, It would be fun to have a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Karp wouldn't it? One time I toyed with the idea of Mrs. Karp being a body guard sent to watch over Princess Shelly. Narca Blue is a fun idea! I will put it with my Mini Mermaid Tales ideas. Thanks, Debbie

Dear Kimberly, Mermaid Crunsh is a great name! Wouldn't it be fun for St. Valentine's Day? I hope your school librarian will get #14, Twist and Shout for you. She or he should definitely get Books vs Looks!
Ella, you are right about Shelly. So far the Mermaid Tales books celebrate two birthdays, Echo's in Battle of the Best Friends and Shelly's in the upcoming Sleepover at the Haunted Museum. Should I do another birthday book? Happy 2021, Debbie

Dear Ella, I've often wondered if mermaids The Lost Princess celebrate the same holidays as we do on dry land. What do you think? The next mermaid book I am writing will be about a mermaid named Poppy who wants to be a princess (she's heard there's one in Trident City). Do you know who the princess is? Best, Debbie
