Mini blog: what's new in Allyville

Hello everybody!

Greetings from Allyville where the weather is finally warm and spring-y and the birds are chirp-y and the flowers and trees are really, really making up for lost time!

What’s new with me these days, you might ask.  Well, Heist Society 2, in fact!  I’m still just working on a first draft and I’m ages away from knowing a title or release date or anything like that.  Basically, I’m at the point where I spend a lot of time staring through the windows at Panera Bread…then typing a little.  Then staring some more.  Then eating some soup.  Then some typing.  Then some staring.  Then some soup.

Yeah, sadly, that’s EXACTLY how it happens.

Eventually, though, I have every faith this mass of words will turn into a book.

And I REALLY hope that will be good news to all of you.

Speaking of news, I wanted to remind everyone of four upcoming things!

1.  The Only the Good Spy Young Countdown Widget Contest is still in full swing.  Check out this post for rules and some helpful hints.

2.  Next week I will be among the hundreds of authors and thousands of fans who will converge on the Romantic Times Convention in Columbus, OH.  If you’re going to be there–please say hi.  I’m doing a couple of panels and co-hosting the Not-So-Sweet-16 party, and it’s gonna be a blast.

3.  BIG NEWS FOR DALLAS FANS–I’m going to be in Dallas on May 22nd  and my fab publicist Deborah (who really IS fab!!!) has been so kind as to set up a signing at Barnes and Noble, Southlake Town Square, Southlake, TX at 2:00.  It’s a totally random, last-minute sort of thing but these can sometimes be the best!

4.  The final thing is that in the very near future we hope to be hosting another live chat (this time to discuss Heist Society).  Those of you who were on the GG3 chat will remember that it became sort of a fiasco (too many people, too little control) but I think/hope this new system will work better.  Stay tuned for dates and times.

 

And in the meantime, happy reading!
