Hi Judy! Our class is having a parade at school on Friday. It is about your book, Weird Stories from the Lonesome Cafe. I am acting as Dot. From Vivian at Hayhurst

Hi Judy Cox!!!!
I have a guestion: can you publish a book if your a kid????
Hope to hear from you soon!!!!

Yes, some kids do get their books published. I remember reading a book called "She Was Nice to Mice" by a child--but her mom was the editor at a publishing house. I'm sure that gave her an advantage! You can submit stories to "Stone Soup" and "Cricket" magazines. There are also many companies that will print just one or two copies of your book for your family and friends.

It probably makes more sense to concentrate on learning the writing craft, right now. Publication is a good long term goal, but it won't get those stories written! Each story you complete will enhance your skill and move you closer to your goal. I plan to post some writing ideas on my website in the near future, so keep checking back.

In the meantime--keep writing and good luck!
Best, Judy

Dear Nona and Lauren,
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed "The Mystery of the Burmese Bandicoot"! I love writing the adventures of these intrepid rat brothers, Frederick and Ishbu. The books are based on two real classroom pet rats (also named Frederick and Ishbu) that I kept in my kindergarten classroom. Their second adventure--"The Case of the Purloined Professor" will be available in Fall 2009. Best--Judy

Dear Mrs. Cox, My 8 year old daughter, Lauren, attends Seven Oaks Elementary in Eagle, Idaho and is currently in third grade. She loves school and reading is one of her favorite past times. Last year, Seven Oaks was honored to have you visit and introduce your book, "The Mystery of the Burmese Bandicoot". Lauren enjoyed your book immensely. Each day she looked forward to coming home to continue her reading of this book. It was hard for her to put it down. Will you be coming out with a second book of "The Tails of Frederick and Ishbu" series? During your visit to Seven Oaks last year, I think it was mentioned that a second book would be coming out in October of this year. Thank you, Nona Britton



Hi,Larsen! A game of "Mean, Mean Maureen Green" sounds really neat. What a cool idea! Unfortunately, I can't send you any pictures as I am not the illustrator. Why not draw your own idea of the characters? That would make your game even more personal. After all, Cynthia Fisher's idea of what the characters look like isn't the same as my idea. --Judy

Dear Mrs. Cox, Hi. I'm Larsen. I'm 8 years old and I am in 2nd grade. I read your book, Mean, Mean Maureen Green and thought it was brilliant! I'm using it for my book report project. I'm going to make a game about the story. Do you have any pictures of the characters that you could send me? I really want ones of Lilley, Maureen, Adam and Cassandra to use for board pieces. Thanks, Larsen -- WA

Hi, Amber! I will miss you too, but I know you will enjoy middle school. And you can come visit me at Pioneer! Best, Mrs. Cox

Hi, Lauren!
Frederick and Ishbu's second adventure: "The Case of the Purloined Professor" will be released in 2009. Check this site and I'll keep you posted.

I'm very glad you liked "The Mystery of the Burmese Bandicoot". I have a great time writing books about these adventurous pet rats! --Judy

Dear Mrs. Cox, Will you be releasing a second book on Frederick and Ishbu soon? You visited my school, Seven Oaks Elementary, in Eagle, Idaho several months ago. I enjoyed meeting you and reading your book, "The Tails of Frederick and Ishbu: The Mystery of the Burmese Bandicoot". Sincerely, Lauren Britton, 2nd grade

I'm so glad you love CRAZY EDDIE AND THE SCIENCE PROJECT OF DOOM! I had a wonderful time writing it. If you want to know the true story behind the book, check out my blog at www.amazon.com!--Judy

Do you visit schools?
I love visiting schools. Email me at Grtmouse@aol.com for information on my school visits. --Judy

Where do you get your ideas?
From the idea factory. I use their mail-order catalog. I usually buy a hundred or so at a time....No, seriously, ideas are pretty easy to find. They are everywhere and everyone has them! It's taking the time and trouble to make them into something that's the hard part! --Judy

were do you live?
I live in Eastern Oregon. --Judy
