You know that movie Despicable Me? Well, right now around here it’s all about Deadline Me because the first draft of Heist Society 2 is due on Wednesday.
Now, the usual disclaimers: it’s JUST a first draft. We’re still a long, long way from finished. The book itself will probably be out next summer sometime and I won’t start GG5 until Heist 2 is finished because Heist 2 comes out first.
Also, we don’t have a title. We don’t have a cover. And I can’t really say what it’s about just yet because all that is subject to change based on what my editor thinks about it.
Did that cover everything?
I hope that covered everything.
I will simply leave you with these, the two theme songs for HS2, to tease and tide you over.
Ally
I mean absolutely no offense to any other fans, because I feel mostly the same way, but your comments made me laugh.
You girls are some amazing people from what I read. Wish my friends were as awesome as you guys! lol
As for the blog post, I’m not going to make any assumptions because Ally just LOVES to throw us off the scent. Both songs great, cannot wait!!
Do your best Ally.
I totally flipped when i saw puttin’ on the rits posted there because we sang that in choir last year. just thought everyone should know 🙂
By the way…..Ally, you are totally amzing!!!!
I love fred astair. & tapdancing. & this puttin’ on the ritz. it’s a good song, with great dancing. 🙂
So funny, my mom and I were just talking about the song Walk Like an Egyptian when I pulled up your cite and saw it on ther! Thanks so much Ally!
Take your time Ally! I still can’t wait for Heist or GG5, but I know writing is hard. I just wanted to ask two Q’s thouh.
1. When you do a draft, do you type it or write it out?
2. Have you read Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins? I love it and it’s very cute and addicting!
Ooh, I like the new SPAM preventing question…. what is Ally’s last name?
Darn it, I just can’t seem to figure it out! 😉
But anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck on your deadline!
Love, Hannah
Hey Ally take your time and you always figure things out soo its gonna be ok like Bob Marley said DONT WORRY ABOUT ATHING CAUSE EVERY LITTLE THING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT!!!!!
LOVE
Morgan
Will HS come out as a paperback????
I wanna find out so I know if I’ll just buy the hardcover coversion. .
Oh my gosh I LOVE ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’! It’s such a catchy song, and I listen to it all the time on my iPod when I’m running. And I did a tap dance to ‘Putting On The Ritz’ last year!!!! 😀 (Just felt like sharin’ that with ya)
And I feel like a criminal correcting an author’s spelling, but isn’t it spelled ‘Despicable’?
Anyways, good luck with meeting your deadline!
I cant wait for hs2 but i cant help but wonder… will visili romani be in it again???????
OHHHHHHH the first song was great! I love him! he’s a great tap dancer, I used to do tap when I was little but never like that! I really hope this means the characters are going to learn how to dance in egypt or something of the sort 🙂
Good luck with the deadline, you gots this!!!
OMG-I was totally wondering the same thing! I think Visili Romani WILL be in Heist 2 cuz at the end of Heist Society Kat got a letter and painting from him…I wonder if she’ll find out who he is in Heist 2…
Great luck on the deadline…I know the book will be awesome…they always are!!!!!
Ally you rock, im soo excited for your next book and i think that the fact that i have to wait for it makes it even better!!!
ok,stolen mummy/egyptian artifact heist that somehow ties in with broadway and tap dancing? that makes my brain spin just thinking about it…
i know itd’ll be an awesome book, good luck ally! nice song choices as well.
walk like an egyptian…walk like an egyptian… way oohh way oohh!
wait! new idea! the crew will time travel to 1980’s egypt and then 1920’s braodway and then they’ll tap dance across… wait, no that doesn’t make since.
Yay! So excited!:D
Can’t wait for Heist 2!!!
I also can’t wait for GG5!!!!
I hope you relax some too with your deadline:)
Good luck!(but you wont need it because your such an awesome author;)
<3 u Ally!

Ally,
U r an awesome writer!!!! I love ur books. Can’t wait for the new ones. I love both songs and enjoyed listening to them. Thanks = )
Heehee. The bangles band member Michael Steele (Susan) is my cousin. That’s pretty cool. (well my great cousin but ya know)
Yesssss…. I heart the Bangles!!! Well really I heart 80s music! <3 Also Fred Astaire is awesome! 🙂
Any tap dancing while tomb robbing is definitely fine with me!
i love ‘puttin on the ritz’!! its one of my favorite songs!! i had to dance to it in dance camp. i dont know which song i like better though. walk like an egyption?
love it!!!
my motto last year was
” walk like in egyption and dance like a chicken”
Niiice.
Can’t you just imagine Angus or Hamish(or both) tap dancing? I can’t wait for HS2.
It’ll be amazing.
And I hate deadlines.
Ick.
Hey ally! I love thought of the crew going to Egypt! My grandparents live in Cairo so I know how awesome it is there. I used to tap dance too! Also, when is GG5 coming out in paperback? Love your books and I know you’ll do a great job with HS2!
hmmm does this mean they are going to Egypt???? hmmm i would assume so..but everyone knows what happens when you assume!!!!!!
LOL
