Mini blog: Hello out there!

January 18, 2011 by Ally Carter Leave a Comment

Hi everyone!

I have reached the point in the writing process where I have a LOT to do and almost nothing to say, which, sadly, makes me a pretty boring blogger.

But I wanted to let you all know I’m still here and thinking about you and working hard to make GG5 as good as it can be.

A couple of things to note:

1. there’s a rumor going around that the title of GG5 will be Spy Like You Mean It.  Nice try, but that’s not it.  I know this because the book doesn’t yet HAVE a title (and that one wouldn’t work regardless.  Also, there’s a cover that someone has mocked up (I’m sure just for fun), but that’s not the real cover either, lest anyone get confused.  Cover and title decisions are still months away.

2.  A lot of people have been debating Abby’s injury in GG3.  She is shot in the chest, but probably upper chest–like the chest/shoulder region.  I imagine it probably affected her mobility in that arm for some time and she had to do some rehab–that’s what she’s referring to in GG4 when she mentions her arm.  She wasn’t actually shot in the arm.  Her injury was more life-threatening than that.  That it sounded like she was shot in the arm is my bad.  Sorry.

And that’s it, gang.  Back to work!

    I had herd the rumors about a GG5 cover art/title release but luckily i came here to check first before i started getting too excited. Im sure it was just for fun, i actually think the fan who made it left a comment about it in the comments for yor post about the new GG Box set. Thy left a link and everything. If i remembr rit the comment did sound like they had done it just for fun.
    Anyway, good luck with your writting Ally! I’m sure GG5 will be as brilliant as the rest of your books! I’m anxiously waiting for it and Uncommon criminals to come out! Im positive we’ll all luv them both ^.^

    There is currently NO movie contract for the Gallagher Girls series, but the Hiest Society has been sold to whoever… I think. I know that there will be no GG movie soon though… 🙁 cry. I love both series though!!!

    Ally, I was rereading GG2 yesterday and I came across the part in the lunchroom where Tina was asking Cam if she wanted dibs on Zach. Then Cam looked over at Soloman and Zach and saw they were talking. What were they talking about? Thanks!

    Rumors started raising….but I just made it for fun everyone! It was just a fanfiction i’m writing for myself, made the fake-cover, and just wanted to show it to ally, to show my appreciate for the awesome books!
    So again everyone, it was just a fake-cover and a fanfiction!

    The thing about choosing between Zach and Josh is it’s not just about deciding between Josh the boy and Zach the boy, it’s a decision that also concerns the kind of life associated with each boy. I personally wouldn’t think that’s a easy decision to make.
