Okay, since you guys are soooo excited about GG3 (and your excitement is contagious), I thought I’d share some cryptic facts about the new series as well.
1. it still doesn’t have a title. I call it “Kat” (after the main character) or “Heist” (after what happens) when I talk about it. But I don’t know what it’ll say on the actual cover.
2. it will probably have more boys than any book I’ve written yet since I kind of grew up in a very male-dominated field, and that’s one part of my life that I think will creep into Kat’s life–she’s used to being the only girl in the room.
3. bad people are fun to write
4. I think Kat’s dad might give Mr. Solomon a run for his money in the “yummy” department.
5. To really write Kat well I should probably spend six weeks in Europe. Darn it.
6. Of all the books I’ve written, Kat is the one that I’d most like to adapt into a screenplay.
7. I have no idea if there will be future Kat books. There very well COULD be–there most likely WILL be–but I don’t have any under contract because…well…I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew.
8. Kat would fit right in at the Gallagher Academy.
9. And I really, really can’t wait to write this book!

ps…I’ve read and re-read the post to try to determine what about it was so confusing, but I guess it’s my turn to be confused.
When I say “the new series” I’m talking about a new series.
Yes! NEW!!!!
This year I will write one Gallagher Girls book (GG3) and the NEW book, Kat.
Kat will not be a character in the Gallagher Girls books. She will not be replacing Cammie.
They are two DIFFERENT series.
Hopefully that will clear things up.
