Blog in bullets

July 20, 2011 by Ally Carter 35 Comments

One of the things I heard over and over on tour is how frequently many of you check the blog for updates. Thanks for that. And I’m sorry that sometimes I get too wrapped up in other things (like…ya know…writing the books) to post.

But I promise I’m going to try to do better about adding stuff. Even if it’s little stuff. How does that sound?

So here goes. A blog in bullets.

-I really need t send out a newsletter because, whoa, lately we’ve had a lot of news! Drew Barrymore directing the heist movie, GG5 title and description, Uncommon Criminals hitting the Bestseller list, George Clooney breaking up with his “public” girlfriend. It’s been a busy summer.

-it is so hot. Not really book related but I had to say it.

-lately I’ve gotten obsessed with The Pioneer Woman. (google her if you don’t know who I mean). I think maybe she ended up with my life and I ended up with hers. We are a regular romantic comedy.

-I still really want to build a pool (see the aforementioned hot weather). And I might just do it. But I am fundamentally lazy and cheap and those two things usually result in a lot of talk and not a lot of action.

-I suspect we will have a cover for OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF TIME to show you sometime rather soon. By the end of summer at least.

-I’m getting really jazzed for my first British tour this September to mark the launch of Heist Society in the UK. I really think it’s going to be fun. (but it won’t be if I don’t finish GG5 before I leave like I’m supposed to)

And on that note I’d probably better get back to work!

    I was also wondering if you’ll do a Q&A for Uncommon Criminals, like you did with Gallagher Girls?

    Good job šŸ™‚

    I can’t dance at all… If you really want to audition somewhere, take your time and perfect a dance… Practice makes perfect… Lots of people watch a show called America’s Got Talent, and you might want to consider trying out for that. You are at least guaranteed to get in front of the judges…

    I just finished re-reading the GG books for the fourth time. I can honestly say that this is THE ONLY series that gets more and more exciting every time I read it. I’m so excited about GG5!! Also, I love the Heist books, don’t get me wrong, but I can’t believe there’s going to be a heist movie, not a GG movie. It’s probably just me, but I think a GG movie would be a lot more exciting. Maybe it’s because the plot line is a lot deeper because there are 4 books. Anyway, just wanted to say,
    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, ALLY!
