Dracula Doesn't Drink Lemonade Dear Leah M, I am not an illustrator. I write the words. Right now I am working on two books.
Fanta, the first thing to do to write a story is to come up with an idea. To get an idea you can brainstorm about things that you like, hate, or really enjoy. Let me know when you've come up with an idea.
Kenneth, Marcia and I were teachers at the same school. I hoe you liked Dracula Doesn't Drink Lemonade. Ryleigh, writing is my full-time job. I Books vs Looks used to be a teacher and then a school librarian. Jonah, I like funny books too.
Ella L., the illustrator will get to decide for sure about Aqua's tail, but I was thinking ombre. We don't usually get much snow, so we had a surprise! Adeline, wow! You must be a really good reader. I hope you enjoy Mermaid Tales #15. Have a great World Read Aloud Day, Debbie

The Winter Princess Dear Ella, I imagine it will be a while before I get to see any sketches of Aqua for the new series, Mini Mermaid Tales. I'll share them when I get them.
We don't get a lot of snow where I live, but we received about 5 inches yesterday! It's a winter wonderland. Did you get any? Best, Debbie

Dear Ella, Guess what? I've been thinking about writing a new dragon story! Some of my other dragon stories are Dragons Don't Cook Pizza and The Keyholder series. Dragons are great fun to write about!
But of course, so are mermaids! I do a character sketch before I start writing a new story to learn a bit about the character. I know that Aqua wishes she had a regular tail. Her's is not blue and it's not green-it's a mix. We first find out that Rocky is adopted in the Winter Princess. Hope you have a great week! God bless, Debbie

Dear Lily, Hammerhead sharks are pretty cool, aren't they? Which Mermaid Tales book did you read, Danger in the Deep Blue Sea?
Ella L, I'm glad you loved Books vs Looks. Aqua loves sea creatures, especially dolphins and she wants to ride one. Aqua could be adopted. Did you know that Rocky was? My youngest son was as well. Have a great weekend and stay warm, Debbie

Books vs Looks Yes, Yuta is Kiki's younger brother. For a while I thought he could come to Trident Academy to go to school, but that wouldn't work because then he couldn't be friends with the younger kids quite as easily. A visit would be best I think. Yuta gave Kiki the idea for the book club in Books vs Looks. Have a lovely and safe weekend. God bless, Debbie
