Mini blog: update

by 27 Comments

Hello everybody!

 

I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day weekend!  I was able to spend mine with my father and mother (who had a little accident last week but is doing fine) and my sister and her family.

And now I’m back in the world of the fictional, trying my best to wrap up Heist Society 2!

So far, it’s coming along pretty well.  Of course, it’s rough (because my first drafts are ALWAYS rough.)  But it’s starting to look a little like a real book, and so far I’ve managed to side-step many of the perilous pitfalls so common for me in sequels.  Fingers crossed that this keeps up!

Since I don’t really have much of importance to say today, I thought it might be time for…

 

Only the Good Spy Young

mini-excerpt

Running through the halls toward the elevator to Sublevel Two, I tried to brace myself for what I had to do.

in stores June 29, 2010

 

Ps…an important reminder:  Don’t forget I’ll be in Dallas, TX at 2:00 on May 22nd, hanging out with readers and signing books at Barnes and Noble, Southlake Town Square, Southlake, TX.  I’d love to see you there!

  1. Hi Ally! I love reading your blog and I was so happy to come home today to see the mini excerpt!! I love all of your books and I’ve probably re-read them like 20 times each now! I want to become a writer too now after reading your books! Thank you so much for writing such fantastic books!

  2. AHHH! What does she have to do? Why is she bracing herself? If she already graduating from sublevel two before winter break, why is she going back, isn’t it time for sublevel 3? SO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED!!!! (btw i’m not complaining) i just have little patience for the next book in my favorite series!Keep it up Ally! 49 days<3

  3. Hi Ally! I’m very excited about GG4 and I can’t wait for it to come out!

    On another note, would you mind doing a quick warning post about any website changes that affect your blog? I subscribe to you with Google Reader and after your post about Heist Society on Feb 9, I didn’t get your blog anymore. I thought that you were just busy for a while, but then I actually checked your site and realized that your blog had actually changed. Now I’m resubscribed, but now clicking on blog posts from back then (e.g. Heist Society Feb 9) will result in an error. Is there any way to fix that?

  8. Ally, I think you will end up killing me. 47 days is a loooooong time to wait. I’m so so so excited for this, but then again, I think GG4 will only get me even crazier for GG5. I wish you would post a blog about the future Gallagher Girls books, that would be nice to know. I love you Ally, God Bless you.

    PS: write faaaaast! , no presure of course. HAHA

  15. Just random speculation, but I think Cammie’s either going to steal a book or record or lie to Solomon or go undercover with that enormous closet of theirs.

  16. Okay: writing question: If you write & publish a book that’s, say, sci-fi, can you then publish a book in a different genre such as YA realistic fiction? Or do you have to write in the same genre?

  17. Ya’know Ally, I’ve always thought of Bex to be the…. Jennifer Freeman type! Long, really naturally curly hair with caramel skin, perfect smile and the most adorable dimples! Macey as the Megon Fox type, sleek black hair with dashing eyes! and the perfect face! And Liz The paler and skinnier version of Hayden Panetiere. Finally, Cammie…Like Emma Watson from Harry potter!

    So whenever I read the book, I picture them.
