ps: preemptively answering questions…
–I don’t have any other international tours planned at this time, largely because when I’m touring I’m not writing. Also because we authors can pretty much only go where we’re asked and no one else has asked.
–I will likely be touring the US again in March for the release of Out of Sight, Out of Time. I do not know the cities or dates yet, but when I do I will let you know.
–I do not know any foreign release dates for Out of Sight, Out of Time, Uncommon Criminals, or any other books. If and when I get that information I’ll post that too, but in the meantime, please remember that the best source for local release date information is almost always a local bookseller.
I am sooooooooo exited! I can’t wait!! I love your books and wish i had a time machine so I can go into the future to march 20th!!!
All the best from
someone who is in love with your books xx
ahhhhh ireland yessss i live in dublin ireland soo yess looking forward to meeting u ally! xxx cant wait till the 20th xxx

– ultimate ally fan
Omg! am i the only one who noticed, but i think it’s cute that the first spot is on a street called Cameron Walk! i know that probably wasn’t planned, but thats so cute! love it, love it, love it, LOVE IT!
SO COOL!! U COULD VISIT THE PLACES WHERE UR SCENES TAKE PLACE AND MABEY WRITE SOME NEW ONES?!?!?!?!?
Ah! Yay! I’m so going to Dublin then! Yay! I’m ecstatic! Wish you were going to the Easons in Galway though, so much easier to get to for me, and super nice. I can’t find Heist Society or Uncommon Criminals there! I haven’t read them yet but everyone is telling me to do so.
See You In Dublin!
R <3 xx
P.S. If Galway/Tuam Easons ask you to come, do! π
Ally , come to Australia, your books are awsome, and it would be great if you came down.
Have fun, Ally!
I love the UK! It’s amazing!
Hope you come somewhere close to me when you go on tour in March! ((:

I’m from Minnesota, but I find this so awesome how you’re fans are just.. everywhere!
I happened to be up staying in a lake cabin in Ely, a popular town/city(?) in northern Minnesota, when I came across this cute little shop downtown. They carried all kinds of random items, and I found if you went up the steps to the upstairs, there was a tiny, little bookstore.
Most of the books in there were older, but I was totally surprised when I saw gg1, gg2, gg3, AND gg4 on a shelf!
I mean– it was the tiniest little store! And it had you’re books in it! I don’t know a store closer then 30 minutes from my hometown that carries any of your books in it, let alone this little odds and ends shop.
Congratulations, I mean, you’re books seem to have reached stores all over the place.. That’s so amazing!
It’s so exciting that you are coming to the UK but it is absolutely KILLING me that is the week I am being sent to West Sussex for work, otherwise would clearly be coming on the 16th. *ponders if Bromley is close enough to London to Qualify*
I second that motion!!!!!!!! Please, please, please, please, please, please come to Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your books so much!
I just realized how annoying it must be to keep hopping planes during your tours… while writing… it’s not like you’re on vacation! You deserve a break, Ally π
If you’re gonna be near Big Ben and The London Eye at any point, there is a VERY nice pancake stall nearby, which I recommend π Enjoy Britain, you have loads of fans here!
OMG!!! i cant wait for you to come here ally!!!! i love your books and i am coming to see you at the metro center!!! the only problem is that its my sisters birthday when your there but i sweet talked her and she is letting me go!! yayy xxxx
Molly xx
P.S ultimate fan person you said that the first stop is on a street called cameron walk you werent to know but its actually inside a huge shopping center but it is still such a coincidence!!! xx
AHHH! You don’t know how much I actually screamed!!!! Shame your not around for the Cheltnham Litery festival :\ But I’ll see if I can go to any of your tour dates! π You’ll LOVE it here, if it doesn’t rain then, well its amazing in London, I went there on a school trip (I live in the countryside) and was quite amused by how different it is! You MUST come to the countryside, wherever it is, but not if its raining lol π You know you’ve like, made my year?! I’ll see you out here with all the GG series hopefully!

I am so excited that you are coming to the UK! I have to travel 3 hours to go to your signing but I don’t care! You are an amazing writer and I can not wait for GG5 π
I’m just a little jealous of your tour and hope you have a fabulous time.
My daughter and I LOVE your books and especially appreciate the fact that they are clean–F-bomb free.
Thanks!
to bad i dont live over there. π
Wow, That is going to be SOOO Much FUN!
I lived in London for 5 years before moving to Australia. I loved it, now i wish I havent moved. You’ve got to come to Australia, I know you have lots of fans down here that would love you to come out! Anyway have a great time in Britain it should be awesome, but I am so jealous of those European Gallagher Girls that will get to see you!
You should come to Pittsburgh! PLEASE! π
