Hello, everyone!

I write to you on this beautiful Sunday, just nine days before OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF TIME hits stores here in the U.S. and Canada.

Some updates.

Remember I am going to be going on tour! Please, please, please check out the events portion of this site to see when and where. Also, please spread the word. There’s nothing more frustrating than getting home from an event in, say, North Carolina, and then hearing from a reader who claims “you never come to North Carolina!”. You may laugh, but that will happen. I know this because IT ALWAYS HAPPENS.

So please help spread the word so that everyone who wants to come knows in time to come.

Next, I’ve heard from a lot of people who are interested in reading the book on their kindle, nook, iPad, etc, and are bemused that the preorder option isn’t there. Rest assured, the book WILL be available as an ebook. If it’s not up for preorder then that is a clerical problem, and my publisher has been made aware. I sincerely hope it will be taken care of in the next day or two and apologize for the inconvenience.

Many of you have been asking Where’s Molly?! Well, I’m happy to report that Molly has a new full time job. This is very exciting for her, and I’m thrilled on her behalf. She will still be working for me doing a few things like the occasional Molly Monday, but she might be around a little less frequently especially while she is getting settled in at her new job.

Always there are lots of questions about the international availability of the books. I do know that GG5 will be available in a lot of foreign countries, but I don’t have a complete list just yet. I also (very rarely) get international release dates. If you really want that information, your best source is a local bookseller.

Thanks for the kind words about the book trailer. I don’t feel bad talking about how awesome it is because I didn’t make it. In fact, I didn’t even know Hyperion was going to make it until it showed up in my inbox as the best surprise ever!

But the trailer has churned up all the usual “You should make a movie!” discussion, so let me say once again that authors don’t make movies. We have neither the money nor the know-how. All we can do is option our books to interested studios, producers, etc. and hope for the best.

Currently, the Gallagher Girls series is not under option but we are constantly in touch with people who are interested. We are working hard to set the project up in the best possible way and with the best possible people, and if and when that happens I will, of course, let everyone know.

And that’s it, gang. I’ve got to go get back to work on Heist 3!

  2. Why in the world do people like Hale and Josh better then Zack? I mean sure hale and Josh care for Cammie and Kat, but how much would they really do for them? I know Zack would go to the end of the Earth for commie!

    • I like Zach as well but you can’t compare characters from two different books even If they are both written by the same person because heist society and gg books are like the complete opposite and i get what you’re saying but josh is cammies first love but I prefer Zach and hale he is just different and there is still a sort of mystery about him you know ??

      • Ya i get what you mean, but i just don’t like how the Tee-shirt says “sorry Zach hale stole my heart”, and there is just something about Hale that i don’t like. of Course I am a GG fan for life!!!

        Reply

    • Okay, well, first off: It’s ZACH not Zack.
      Second: I agree. Well, with the Josh part. I always looked at Josh as being a wimp and stuff (even though he went to rescue Cammie). I disagree with the Hale part, tho. Hale’s just so much, well, Hale-er. 😛

      Sorry Zach, but Hale stole my heart… 😛

  4. I really wish Ally was coming close enough so that I could go and see her. the closest one is like 8 hours away! No way I can go that far and back 🙁 its very sad

  5. I feel like a traitor, but i just reread the Heist Society series and i LOVE hale. I like Zach more, of course, but i really like hale. His perspective is just so different, because he’s not going into his family business, he chose to join Kat’s family business. I don’t get the “I love josh so much” thing though. He’s sweet, but he’s just a regular guy. Zach is just so interesting, and he really knows Cammie and cares about her. It’s a wonder he turned out so normal cuz his mom is all psycho and stuff. I think a crossover thing with Kat and Cammie would be cool, too, but that would probably be hard to do. Hmmm… well i’ve left my really long comment now. Any other opinions about the whole josh thing?
    P.S. love your books Ally!!! =D

  9. HEY ALLY!
    Just wanted to say thank you sooo much for the Kindle Edition! It’s so much easier than driving to the store and much more affordable! Also, awesome trailor! It made me soo happy. And one more thing, who wouldn’t want to make these fabulous books into movies? I just don’t understand what’s taking so long. I’m not blaming you, I’m blaming Hollywood. Who agrees with me? Anyway, thanks again Ally!

  13. Heck yes, you’re coming back to Washington! It was absolutely fabulous meeting you when you were last here after the release of the third book. This time I’ll get to read the new one BEFORE going to the tour stop. I read Love You Kill You when it was still new, and I was only 17. This is still my favorite book series at the ripe old age of 22. Thanks for writing something so lovely!
