Hi Dillon, I liked books about horses when I was young, mysteries, and a series called Cherry Ames, Student Nurse. Meaghan, a trip to the beach helped inspire me to write about mermaids. I'm so glad you liked Battle of the Best Friends. Echo wants to have her very own sea horse in The Secret Sea Horse. have a wonderful day, Debbie

Hi Ryan, I've sold 158 stories to be made into books. Do you have a favorite one of mine? I'm excited because today I have a phone call about a new series! What do you think it should be about?
Guess what Ruby? This weekend I get to meet Gail Carson Levine who wrote Ella Enchanted! Have a nice day and God bless, Debbie

Cendile, Jasmin, and Ruby-I am happy to tell you that there are seven Mermaid Tales books out right now. The 8th one comes out in May. The illustrator is Tatevik Avakyan. I have never met her, but I love her illustrations! She was nice enough to agree to let me make T-shirts to go with The Lost Princess.
Ruby, I think I am most like Shelly, but I do not sing as well as she does! Which merperson are you most like? I have read Matilda, the BFG, and Ella Enchanted, but I haven't read Rainbow Magic. I would love to come to your school. Maybe your teacher or librarian could invite me. A big hello to Sammantha and Colin. If you live close to Johnstown, PA. I will be at a reading festival there this weekend. Have a great week, Debbie

Hi Sammantha, ask your librarian or bookstore for the Mermaid Tales books. They can order them for you or your parents can order them online here. Glad you liked book three, A Whale of a Tale.
Hi Leanne, you have a nice school. Eugene, I have two dogs: Skip and Shadow. You can see Shadow's picture on this page. Skip's picture is below. I'm sad to say my dog Bailey is in Dog Heaven.
If you live in Kentucky and would like me to visit your school soon, have a teacher click here. Have a great week and God bless, Debbie
