Hello Gallagher Girls (and guys),
I’m pleased to report that I am, in fact, back from my top secret mission.
It was a lot of fun, and I had a wonderful weekend in DENVER!
Operative Ally Carter (hereafter referred to as “the Operative”) traveled to Denver, Colorado to engage in a TOP SECRET mission.
My best friend from college, Crazy Beth, has been living in Denver for the past several years and, sadly, I’ve been too busy to go visit her until now.
The Operative recruited backup for a very important covert operation.
Have I mentioned that my literary agent, Kristin Nelson, also lives in Denver?
And then she recruited MORE backup.
So it seemed to make good sense for me to make the trip out to see Kristin and Beth. And then Beth and I were talking about books that we love and how Stephenie Meyer was going to be coming to Denver…
The Operatives went into a deep cover operation in order to infiltrate a very large (and potentially volatile) crowd.
There are occasionally perks to being an author and one of them is that you can have your agent call Stephenie’s publicist (the uber-awesome and totally Gallagher Girlish Elizabeth) and set really TOP SECRET plans into motion…
The Operatives engaged in a clandestine rendezvous with very cool People of Interest.
Writing is such a solitary endeavor that I always enjoy meeting other writers, and obviously Stephenie was no exception. She was, of course, incredibly busy so we only got to speak for a second, but it was fun none-the-less.
Also, it was just AMAZING to see the crowd of screaming and crazy, yet patient and attentive fans.
Beth, Kristin, Sara (Kristin’s co-worker) and I all had a great time, and I’m really glad I went.
The Operative tried to sleep on the plane because the vacation is now officially over and she really needs to get back to work!

ps…if any of you live in Denver and would like a signed Gallagher Girls book, I stopped by the Tattered Cover and Barnes and Noble (both downtown Denver locations) to sign what they had, so check them out.
