Gallagher Girls--the musical!

First of all, The Lion King ROCKS! So amazing. So creative. So good, in fact that I’m now dying to see…

I’D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I’D HAVE TO KILL YOU—the musical!

Oh yeah, bet you didn’t know that Disney got musical rights as well as film rights, did you? Well, they did, and now I’m seriously praying that the Gallagher Girls make it to Broadway (because, you know, if they can make it there they can make it anywhere.)

I’m thinking there will probably be a big Cammie solo kinda like this…

WHEN YOU’RE A GALLAGHER GIRL

You can tap his phone or pick a fight

Track him through the dead of night

But love’s never clear between wrong and right

Not when you’re a Gallagher Girl!

That’s as far as I’ve gotten so far—and it’s just a draft—but I figure I’m bound to be pretty good at this since Once More With Feeling is my favorite Buffy episode ever!

In other news, I did a big book-signing swing through Tulsa where, according to all the wonderful bookselling professionals I talked to, the Gallagher Girls are flying off the shelves.

The Barnes and Noble on 71^st was down to one copy, the Borders on 81^st was down to two. The Barnes and Noble on 41^st had just gotten a big shipment in and had seven or eight.

All these are now signed and more are on order everywhere, so if you've been unable to find a copy, hold tight--they're on the way!

But the big news isn’t that the Borders on 21^st was SOLD OUT of Love You Kill Yous…no, the big news is that they were also SOLD OUT of Solitaires!

Remember the big stack of Solitaires they had a few weeks ago. Maybe this picture will remind you.

Well, all those are gone now. Poof. In the hands of eager readers (and/or my mother.)

I guess I should go. I have a musical to compose after all.

Happy long weekend, everyone!
