Hi, everyone!
I’m so excited to share the FINAL information for the UK and Ireland tour! I really hope some of you will be able to join me next week at one of the following events:
To my knowledge, all events are free and open to the public and none of them require tickets–but I may be wrong! It’s always a good idea to check the host store’s website just to be certain!
Come. Tell your friends. Bring your books. And get ready for a great time!!!

Hello, everybody!

Hi Everyone!
Exciting News! Ally is going to be at the International Spy Museum on May 15!
She had such a fun time when she was there last and can’t wait to visit again!
If you are going to be in the Washington, DC area please plan to visit her at the museum on the 15th or Gaithersburg Book Fest in Maryland on May the 16th.
Ally loves being able to tour and meeting all of you in person! Hopefully if you are in the area you can come out and see her.
Have a good week!

P.S. Thanks for all the well wishes for my daughter last week! You will be happy to know she was only stuck at home for a day. I enjoyed reading about what you all do when you are home sick. Even though being sick is no fun, getting time to stay at home and take things slow is kind of nice some times.
Hi Everyone!
I have a sick kiddo at home with me today so we are hanging out in our pajamas and watching Disney movies.
What do you guys like to do when you are home sick? Watch anything special? Eat anything in particular?
My favorite movie to watch when I was home sick or up late was Beauty and the Beast. That movie would help me fall asleep every time. Still to this day I have a hard time staying awake when my daughter wants to watch it!
Have a good and hopefully healthy week!
Shellie
P.S. If you are in the Texas area see Ally tonight in Austin,TX at Book People at 7:00pm

Hi Everyone!
Well I hinted about a fun announcement last week and now I am happy to tell you all…
A Gallagher Wedding is now available here on the site!
Just in case you don’t know, a Gallagher Wedding is a brief short story that was made available in special limited editions of UNITED WE SPY. We are honored to offer it here, for free, for all readers.
WARNING: This story takes place after the conclusion of UNITED WE SPY and does contain spoilers for the final Gallagher Girls book and the entire series.
I know there were so many of you who wanted to be able to read this awesome short story and to be able to continue your Gallagher Girls journey and now you can!
Also, over the years you all have sent in some AMAZING Gallagher Girls fan art and I would love to see some fan art featuring Embassy Row. Please send all fan art to [email protected] and I will post on Ally’s Tumblr page for Fan Art Friday!
