Dear Readers,
Wow! I spent a lot of time answering snail mail fan letters yesterday. Almost half of the letters asked what was in the box in Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots. Kids wanted to know if it was really a coffin in Mrs. Jeepers' basement. I can tell you that the answer to that question is in the next Bailey School Kids book, Mrs. Jeepers Creepy Christmas. It comes out in November.
Callie and Amy asked if I could visit their school. Of course, I'd love to do so, but I have to be invited by an adult. They can check out the event section of my site.
Ying Shing asked me if I could put a Chinese girl in a story. Ying Shing, Jeff in Ghostville Elementary is Asian, but I will certainly keep your request in mind.
Greetings to Amanda, Mora, Kasey, Danielle, Bernabe, Javon. Jodan, Griffin, Isaiah, Valerie, Brittany, Chelsie, Treasure, and Rebecca. Danielle, I'm glad you like Ghost Class. Nice to hear from Lila from France. Did you read my books in French or English?
Lis, check out my Swamp Club for information for your report. I was married 24 years ago. My mom was born in 1936 (I hope she doesn't mind me telling). My oldest son is 20. My first book came out in 1990. Wyatt, I've written 132 books. Wyatt, I just made up the name Bridgett Butt in The Worst Name in Third Grade, although people do have that last name. How would you like to have that name?
Briana and Caitlin, I'm glad you like my books. Sienna, good luck with your writing. Kevin, keep up the awesome reading. Immanuel, maybe you can ask your librarian to get more of my books.
Caroline, happy sweet 16!
Jocelyn, I can't tell you what the sound is from Whistler's Hollow, but I can tell you that it really happened. I hope you read the book.
Yes, Brielle I still plan to write when I move. That may be quicker than I thought if all works out well.
On Friday, I'm excited to be visiting Garfield School in Loveland, Colorado. Isn't that a nice name? Loveland? It's definitely not the worst name in third grade!
I had something happen to me this week that reminded me of the power of prayer. If you have something hard in your life, you might want to try it.
Take care and be at peace with the universe,
Debbie

I also visited Shepardson Elementary and hung out with some awesome kids there. Thanks Mrs. Stolte for inviting me! And thanks to Kate and Jack for wishing me a happy birthday. Yes, Friday is my birthday! Thanks to Ethan and Sydney for their fun ideas. Yes, my books are at bookstores, but I heard the Fort Collins Barnes and Noble ran out of my books, so go to the Loveland Barnes and Noble or to the new Readers' Cove bookstore near Sam's Club in Fort Collins. Or you can order directly from the book section of my website (with your parent's help, of course). Abby, just give the book to Alex to bring home for an autograph. Haneen, Aliens Don't Carve Jack-o-lanterns is dedicated to Patrick.
Melanie, how much an author makes depends on how many books they sell. I grew up in Henderson, KY. That's where my book, Whistler's Hollow, takes place too. Nereyda and Dana, it's hard to pick a favorite, because I like all my books. But Ghouls Don't Scoop Ice Cream and Skeletons Don't Play Tubas are definitely two of my favorite BSK books.
Best, Debbie

Greetings to Haclecya in Australia and Manula (and Mrs. S.) in British Columbia. Haclecya, I'm coming to World Youth Day next summer in Australia. Of course I'd love to visit your school as well as Jayce's. Yes Jayce, there are 51 numbered BSK books, but there are a bunch of Super Specials and Holiday Specials.

I hope you like the Swamp Monster in Third Grade book.
Stay cool, Debbie

Wow, the last two weeks have flown by. I went to Pennsylvania to look for a new house and then I went to California to visit Newcastle Elementary and to speak at the Golden Reader Luncheon. The kids were great. It's close to Sacramento and the area was very pretty.
