Hi!
Everyone calls me Cheesie, but my real name is Ronald A. Mack. The A is for Apton, which is a weird middle name. It’s my mother’s maiden name. I think most kids HATE their middle names. I actually don’t. R. Apton Mack is actually kind of cool sounding…but I like Cheesie best.
Here’s some stuff about me:
- I have brown hair, brown eyes, and three freckles on my nose. I also have a whitish scar on my thumb where a fishhook stabbed me when I was on a lake with my dad. I was eight and fooling around. Don’t ask.
- My birthday is August 16. I’m now 11, which is, IMO, a very cool age to be.
- My ears stick out. But you can probably see that in my picture above. It used to bother me, but now that I’ve written about my ears in my book, a zagillion (that’s a gazillion times bigger than a gazillion) people know, so I say…so what? And this is the last time I’m going to mention them on my website!
- I have three grandparents (plus one who died a long time ago), two aunts, two uncles, and two first cousins. I also have the meanest older sister in Massachusetts. Maybe the United States. Maybe the world! Those tiny boxes and circles to the right are my family tree (which I made as a school assignment in fourth grade). Click on it to see it bigger and learn more about everyone in my family.
- I am a very fast runner. One of the fastest in my class, but I haven’t actually raced every kid. I’m on the sixth grade cross country team.
- I like sports. Especially baseball and soccer. And I’m a good swimmer.
- I read lots of books. Especially adventures.
- I love to write about my adventures.
- I love words.
- And I like making lists…like this one.
If you want to know anything else about me, just ask below.
happy early halloween ronald “cheesie”
Halloween = Candy time!
You came to my school on monday oct.28 oak school! I loved how you talked about you having your book writing career with your daughter. And your daughter telling you to write a children’s book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehehehehehe
Oak ROCKS!
do u like to listen to music and if yes what about eminem , pitbull , and imagine dragons
I am not a big music guy. When I’m writing, I like silence because it helps me think.
I like how you put a chapter zero in Cheesy Mack Is Not A Genius Or Anything — I thought that was funny! Maggie R
Yep. Chapter Zero was a good idea.
Dear Steve, I love your books!!! Can’t wait until you come to my school tomorrow. Don’t forget to say hi to me tomorrow bye!
Hello again Cheesie. I can’t belive it and I am so excited! i am going to Colorado tomorrow! I am crazy excited! Hey girls out there, “Sew” Zoey is a cool series I just read!
HEYYYY cheesie mac! So cool you have a website! Just finished reading your first book yesterday. AMAZING! Thanks for staying on top of the ball!
haha i finished today this morning
Why did you name your character cheesie Mack? Maybe you like cheese
Nope. Since my last name was Mack, my nickname seemed obvious.
I LOVE your books so much
!ixeL, ouy knahT (I am writing to the West because of your last name…heehee)
in book 1 there is a mystery what made you add a mystery to this book
I think mysteries are mysterious (haha)!

Sure. I’ll be your friend.
Tell Goon that it must be imbarissing to be her and that she should get a life

Almost right. It’s “Cheesie Mack Is Sort of Freaked Out.”
Hi I’m reading your book a and it’s really good so far!!!😉
I love your 1st book, i just finished!
are you making a 6th?
I am thinking about #6.
We were wondering if you like pie? If so, what kind?
Could you give us some tips, other than ignoring, on how to deal with difficult siblings?
I love pie! My faves are cherry and peach and pecan and strawberry and key lime and… I LOVE PIE!
Sibling problems can be difficult. My best advice is sort of like ignoring, but it really isn’t the same. Most problems seem to start when one teases the other. I have found the best thing is to pretend (not the same as ignore) you are not bothered by the teasing, then the sibling gets bored because the teasing isn’t working.
Sometimes that works…but not always.
Sorry…that’s the best I know how to advise.
I love your book soooooooooooo much that im going to die.
Please don’t die, Mitchell!
Cheesie,
We (almost) have so much in common! Your initials are RAM and mine are RAMS. You go to sleepaway camp, while I go to normal camp.
What’s the latest thing Goon’s done to you?
Come to Branchville Elementary School in CT!
Hope to see you soon –
Ruby
I would love to come to your school. All you need to do is ask your librarian to invite me. I am probably going to be in CT this year!

But I really like the books my teacher read some of it .

Dear Mr Cheese,
We have read the first three chapters of your book and loved it. By the way, you mention your ears a lot! Do you like cheese in real life? We are very excited for your author visit. When you come can you teach us how to write a good story? Will you teach us some wise words? How many books are going to be in the Cheesie Mac series? Did you know that 24 people in our class like mac and cheese but 2 people don’t?
Sincerely the Cheesiest Class,
316
You ask a lot of questions, but here goes:
I like cheese, but not more than lots of other foods.
I will try to explain what I know about writing.
There are 5 books in the series…I do not know if there will be more.
Only 2…that’s actually interesting.
I like your books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Ariel!
So good! I loved it all!
Thanks, Emma.
