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 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…

August 10, 2011 at 6:54 pmI 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!
