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.
I love your books
Thanks, Triniti!

Hi Cheesie ! You came to my school, Peters Elementary, when you were writing Cool in a Duel ! Your books are awesome.{PS Peters is in Broken Arrow, OK}
I remember! Broken Arrow ROCKS!
Thank you for visiting the Helen Keller students! They thoroughly enjoyed listening to how a book is developed and written. It was great for them to learn that a book is edited many times before it is finished. Now when they write, they know that editing is very important. Thank you for inspiring the students to continue to read and write!
I had a terrif time at Helen Keller.
Hi Chessie Mack! Remember you came to my school, Fernway? I’m kaylie. I LOVE your books they are so entertaining I bought two of the first ones for my cosin and my step sister Emma t
Sure, I remember you! Fernway ROCKS!

Thanks, Niko!
The children thoroughly enjoyed meeting you at Keller yesterday. I felt the question and answer session was a definite highlight. Thank you for encouraging our young writers and for creating a series they can’t wait to read!
Thanks! I had so much fun. You must be a grown-up. Mostly kids comment here, so it’s excellent when a teacher (I bet that’s what you are) comes to my website.
cheesie,have you ever been trick or treating before?
Of course! Lots of time. In fact, my 5th book is all about trick-or-treating.
what I meant to say was: wasn’t the cover for your 1st book the one with the picture of you and the pictures of everybody else? P.S. what is your favorite video game? mine is minecraft.
Yes, that was the first cover. I have played Minecraft, but I don’t have much tome for video games because I am writing books.
Can’t wait till you come to our school tomorrow lol ttyl omg.
eat pie or play foooooooooootball

Yes. It was really embarrassing!
Hi Cheesie,
My class is reading your first book as a read aloud. I love your chapter 4a (the a is not alpha because I was typing). It’s cool how you made Goon a space monster. Is Goon’s real name Goon? I love your book so far. What grandparent died? What are your hobbies?
Here name is June. You can find my family tree here: http://cheesiemack.com/bio/

Mine (haha).

My teacher read me the Cheesie Mack book to chapter 3 and he said he wasn’t going to camp because his friend wasn’t, was that true?
You’ll have to read the rest of the book to find out. I’m not going to give the ending away!
you went to our school today and you told us about that story at the camp ground, and u said u included it in one of your story’s. What Cheesie Mack is that?????
Book #2
Hi Cheesie!
You said in your first book to tell you if you have seen or been bitten by a vampire. I think I’ve been bitten by a vampire. I have 2 identical marks on my arm that are near each other. My friends say it looks like a vampire bite. Well that’s all I have to say.Bye!
No such thing as vampires. Those are probably rattlesnake bite marks.
I didn’t finish your first book,but do you ever go to camp??????
You’ll have to read it and find out.
Hey, Chessie I am reading your book now the first one (I think) and its really good my sister got it for me. I was seeing if you really had a website and you do! So please write back!:)
When you finish the book come back here and comment again. (And I hope you continue to like it.)
My school is Conley Elem.

Nice discussion at our school today! I guess, you’re right, you can make anything happen about next year’s Halloween since it is realistic fiction. Also, the ghost story was funny, and thanks for commenting on my smile! 😀
Thanks. I really had a good time at Conley.

Hi, Cheesie. I just finished the most epic book ever, and it was yours! This website, like it states in the book, does it have the info about the US coins and the BLART sandwich? I love to make up words, too. Perhaps I am just like you… CUZ I AM!!!
Then you must be a super-cool kid!
I like your book Cheesie. I wonder how you will solve the penny with the S on it.
You will have to finish reading it…and then you will know.
My school is Marion Conley Elem. We are emersed in your book!
Conley ROCKS!
My teacher is reading this book to us! Steve Cotler came to our school today!
How was your Halloween? 🙂
Really, really interesting. You can read all about it in my fifth book…but it won’t be published until next year.
Can’t wait for you to come to my school on Nov. 1 🙂
