Happy Day After Valentine’s, Everyone!

February 15, 2012 by Ally Carter 50 Comments

Hello, gang.

I hope you’re all doing well this morning. I’m babysitting a sick niece, watching the Dog Show (her favorite annual event) and trying to avoid the lure of the Girl Scout Cookies all boxed up on the dining room table.

I’m sure this isn’t news to any of you, but OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF TIME will be in stores in the U.S. and Canada in less than a month.

LESS THAN A MONTH!!!!!!

But I’m not freaking out.

No.

Me?

Freak out?

Hahhahahaha.

Okay, so I might be freaking out a little. After all, this is a very big book–both for me and for Cammie. And I really, really hope you guys like it because it’s probably my favorite in the series.

But I can’t think about that. Nope. Instead, I’ve got to get to work on Heist Society 3 because that too will be out before I know it.

Of course, first I’ve got to finish it.

And title it.

And edit it.

And now I’m freaking out about that too!!!

I guess I’d better go get in those Girl Scout cookies now.

-Ally

Ps: a note about Facebook. It is free and almost universally available. I have made this excerpt available there to make people aware of the new official page we have set up (as opposed to all the unofficial pages that already exist). If you don’t have a Facebook page, I’m sorry you can’t read the excerpt, but if you choose to access this free and available thing then you could read it.

If the reason you don’t have a Facebook is because your parents don’t let you, then I totally, 100% respect that and encourage you to ask your parents if you can use their account or set up an account of your own just to read the excerpt and then delete it afterwards.

Or you could wait until March because, let’s face it, when you woke up this morning you were perfectly content to do just that.

In other words, it is there. It is free. It is possible for you to get it–if you want to work for it.

If people don’t want to work for it or patiently wait for it (and choose the route of complaining instead) then I will have to just delete the chapter 2 sneak peek altogether. I didn’t have to post it, and if people don’t appreciate that then I guess I will just have to take it down and remember this in the future

    Ally, we all know that there is NO WAY you should be freaking out. You won’t disappoint us – of that I’m sure. It goes against the laws of nature or something.

    I love girl scout cookies! But I don’t have them anymore because my cousins don’t sell them to us, and my sister and I quit girl scouts. Now we only have the store bought kind that may be close but don’t taste the same. I am also freaking out about the book release. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
