About Me

Ronald 'Cheesie' Mack
Me

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:

  1. 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.
  2. My birthday is August 16. I’m now 11, which is, IMO, a very cool age to be.
  3. 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!
  4. 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. Cheesie's Family TreeMaybe 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I like sports. Especially baseball and soccer. And I’m a good swimmer.
  7. I read lots of books. Especially adventures.
  8. I love to write about my adventures.
  9. I love words.
  10. And I like making lists…like this one.

  5. 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!

  6. 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!

  7. 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?

    1. 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.

  8. 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

Oh ya how has your day been going?

  17. Hi I am AsenSa you came to our school todayBessie Rhondes I don’t have a book
    But I really like the books my teacher read some of it .

  18. 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

    1. 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.
