Yes, this is technically begging
The number of very sweet comments and emails I've gotten from people looking forward to reading LEARNING TO PLAY GIN has really made my day!
But, I've really got to ask (and by "ask" I mean beg) all of you to pick up a copy of CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE. I think Gin stands alone (really, I do), but I would love it if you'd give Solitaire a try in the meantime.
Thanks.
And yes, I know this makes me sound lame. And desperate. And that the post before this made me sound fat and bitter. And someday I'll blog about the rewrites of the Gallagher Girls sequel and then I'll sound hack-like.
But at least I don't sound dishonest.
Okay, I'm off to Memphis which means I have four full days of mentally singing "Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane" and also "Help me operator, give me Memphis, Tennessee". And probably some other Memphis songs that will come to me during my two hour drive to the airport.
And if you're in the Memphis area on Saturday, come downtown and meet cool authors like E. Lockhart, John Green, Alex Sanchez, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, and a bunch of other authors who are way out of my league.
Okay. I'm gone.

Oh, I wish I was just a tad closer to Memphis (it's about 80 miles) and could make it.
Okay, wait...begging is NOT good? Great, now I have to revise my PR plan. Begging was my #1 strategy.
Begging is good - I will definately be checking these out now.
Um, I already bought it and read it last year? ;-)
Okay, Miss Ally, we need to have a talk. No one is out of your league. And you are not (nor do you sound) lame, desperate, fat, or bitter. You are Ally. You rule. You are a goddess among women and writers- and I'll thank you to remember that! :)
PS: Had already put solitaire on my b-day wish list before this post...
Soltaire was wonderful! Gin is going to do great! And all women should have hips and be stress eaters. It's only fair.
Thanks guys!!!
Ally
