Hey, everybody!
Even though I just got home from tour, I have one more date on my calendar, and I really hope you guys will be as excited about it as I am.
If you live in the Chicago, IL area, please mark your calendars and plan on attending this year’s…
Romantic Times Convention!
The Hyatt Regency O’Hare Hotel
April 11-15, 2012
What is RT? Well, it’s a big, crazy convention for book lovers. It’s actually a week-long affair, but if you can’t join us for the whole thing, fear not, this year RT will include the 2nd annual Teen Day on Saturday, April 14th.
Teen Day consists of panels, parties, and a huge mega author autographing including hundreds of authors–dozens of whom specialize in YA.
This year’s YA authors include (but aren’t limited to) me, Melissa de la Cruz, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Richelle Meade, Stephanie Perkins, Cinda Chima, Kelley Armstrong, and many many more!
But don’t take my word for it. Check out the full flyer.
And, of course, check out the RT website for registration information and other details.
Hope to see you there!
Ally
PS: preemptively answering questions: I don’t actually work with RT, so I can’t help anyone register or answer any conference specific questions. That information is available at those links though if you look, and I’m sure you will either find it there or find a way to contact someone who does.
Nothing ever happens in KC!!!! 🙁
Yeah, I live in a small town so I know the feeling.
Ya I know. I live in Ohio in a small city and nothing ever happens. Only picture book authers ever come.
🙁
At least you get that. There isn’t even a book store where I live anymore since they went out of business. I’m really glad that I have a kindle.
I live in a tiny town in ohio too and nothing ever happens!
ya samee here no one comes to visit here:( Ally Carter come liven up my city!!
TOTOALLY!! well nothing ever cool happens in Omaha…BOOO 🙁
Wow I wish Ally was comng to Minnesota for me and my other Gallgher Girl friends!!!
I totally agree with you
I just which she would come to MA again… She came like, two years ago! WE ALL MISS YOU DOWN HERE ALLY!!!!!!!
Gabrielle
WHY CANT U EVER COME TO THE NEW YORK CITY AREA? maybe in manhattan or something.
Saher, she doesn’t control her tours or where she goes, publishers do that and she was just in philadelphia which isn’t far from NY. I mean everyone wants Ally to come to where they live but really only her publisher decides so telling Ally won’t do a thing but possibly make her sigh since its out of her control. Just saying.
i noe but still. Her publishers cud choose nyc for once
touche haha
Oh my gosh that sounds amazing! finally something awesome happening in Chicago 🙂 I will have to drag my mom downtown with me because I love YA romantic fiction. and mysteries/spy stuff, of course!
I went to the one in LA last year!! I hope it comes back again to SoCal in the next few years!
why doesn’t ally ever come to Canada. Her books sell there too, you know. Belleville, Ontario would be nice.
P.S. we don’t go to school on polar bears but wait for it …… school buses, can you believe that!
I know… authors in the States rarely EVER come to Canada… so sad ;(
At least Ally’s only a country away
Ally’s half way around the world for me
Anyway I live where I live and that’s not gonna change
Ps ally, greatest book EVER
I finished in three hours
Yay!! im not the only canadian here!!! and i knowwwww I wish Ally could come tour in Canada. it would be soo much fun!! and i know polar bears would be way more fun!!
Whoa! School buses???? OMGG. That is so unreal. I think I might faint!!! That is by far the craziest thing I have heard this week, you’re kidding right? I mean I live in Raytown and we just have drive by shootings before school! JK. I don’t actually know anybody who has gotten shot or shot someone. 😉
Actually my great-grandma got shot — she’s okay — but that wasn’t a drive-by.
I wish I could convince my parents to drive me, but we live about 6 hours away 🙁 NO one ever comes to Iowa!
I KNOW!! I live in the smallest town ever it seems like and nothing ever happens. Oh well, I know it’s out of her control.
Maybe I’ll have to make a trip to Chicago that weekend… 🙂
So wish I lived in Chicago!!!!!! I’ll just have to catch you next time you’r in VA! Love you Ally and have fun at RT! 😀

GREETINGS FROM CHICAGO
How about Canada??? Will there EVER be a tour in Canada for once!!
Actually, Ally has had many Canadian tour stops in the last two years. More will certainly follow.
AWESOME!!!! I would LOVE to go to a tour stop!!
SHE DID!!?? aww that sucks:( i wish I started the series earlyer so i could have saw her:(
AAAHHHH!!!! That’s not that far from my house!! I can go!!!!!! AAHAHAHH! This made my day!!!
I want to go soooooooooo bad but Chicago is like 9 hours away and call me crazy but i don’t think my mom will drive me there 🙁
You should come to sunny Florida 😀
i agree jax florida is the place to be! lol well RT sounds amazing …too bad i live in florida!):
Hmm. I can see it now. “Hey mom, I know I haven’t had my licence for very long, but can I please drive 4 hours to Chicago to see my favorite author ever?”
On second thought, I don’t think I’ll even bother asking.
My mom would say yes. Then send me to a psychiatrist. I just hope its not Dr. Steve! 🙂
So cool that they have a teen day! I wish I lived near there, but sadly I live in a small town in Northern California.
Cool Ally! I hope you have fun! Unfortunately when you live in Southwest Kansas nothing really happens but THANK YOU for coming to Wichita. I couldn’t make it but at least you came to Kansas! You write the best books ever!!!!!!
Dear Ally,
I’m doing a project in school on Heist society, and I can’t find any of the paintings mentioned in the book. I’ve searched everywhere. Are the paintings mentioned real paintings and artists? If so what are they?
