Mini blog: class reports/projects/biography
Hey gang,
I'm always amazed when I get an email from a reader who is doing a class project and/or report about me and/or my books.
Was Jane Austen taken? I have to ask. Then I tell the reader to go try to swap with the person who gets to write the report on Jane Austen because that would be way more interesting than writing about me!
In any case, I have to explain why I don't have a ton of biographical information available on my site. The reason is simple, really: most of the biographical information that people think they need is information that isn't really necessary to understand me or my books. It is, however, information that you might need if you wanted to steal my identity/hack into my credit card accounts/ bankrupt me/ stalk me/ or just in general make my life miserable.
So, sorry. I will not tell you where I was born, what my mother's maiden name was, or the name of my childhood pets. (Because it most definitely was not a cat named Suzie.)
I've said all this (and a lot more) before in this very detailed post. If you need info for me I'd suggest you look there.
Good luck!
Ally

Okee Dokee Artichokee!
I managed to do my website school project report thingy on LYKY anyway with that cool Author's section with what you gave us, so thanks!
That link you gave answered any questions I would ever have on you. Well, except how old you are, but that's it.
I did find it interesting that you said after CMH, that you would probably be taking a lot of time off. It kind of shows how things change...unless, you did take time off, and I am just unaware.
Oh, and while you are reading this post, when are you going to announce/show the winning designs for the contest? I am really excited to see them. :)
ally i went to your detailed post and was surprised that your dad was a farmer. My cousins are part of the agriculture too but i'm TOTALLY different then them (country, city). I was also wandering who won the awesome contest!?!?!?
Okay then. That works. Thank you, oh and by the way...you would make a wonderful voice-filled school report. That would be the fun-est school report ever! Imagine that, Ally Carter.
Cool. Cat named Suzie! Heheheheh! I remember that!! I was cracking up.
Now, down to business. When is GG3 coming out?? I won't stop bugging you until I get an answer or the title and first chapter. Whatever you think works. It could even be like an unedited version of the first chapter. I really don't care.
Love ya Ally,

That answered almost all of my questions, too! I've been looking forward to seeing the T-shirt design entries/winners, too! Hope you show them soon!
Luv Ya Lots,
Kenzi=)
Can we just examine how sketchy this is? Today I was just randomly wondering where you lived and so I looked up "state" in the blog search and I went to that exact post and looked at it around 9:00am TODAY! and then you made this post...Creepy
These are more questions than coments. Get ready!!
1)Will Zach & Cam be a couple? I really hope so.
2)What about DeeDee, Josh, Dillon, the Abrams and others; will Cam meet them again?
3)Will the next book take place in the spring or next semester or next year. I want this to last very LONG.And 'cause 1st book is in the fall and 2nd in the winter.
4)Will cam have a mission? Real mission?
5)I soooo hope there will be more than just 6 books. So more pleaseeee!:)
6)Will there be a triangle love between Zach, Cam, & Josh? Zach & Cam pleaseeeeeeeeee.
7)If cam is on a mission, will their clues or maybe fate lead them to meet each other. That will be romantic. I'd just love it. So cool.
Oh, and if you don't answer them it will be okay. I'll just keep on asking. Don't want to take time off of your writting.:)
awww cat named suzie!!! i miss jooosshhh!!!!
hey ally
i know this is a bit random but i want to tell you about a dream i had about the third book well cammie is mad and wants to get josh back so she ask dillon out to make josh jelous and when she gets josh back zach comes back over spring break and it is crazy. then there is no more cause my mom woke me up 4 school
i didnt know you were a farm girl!! i like that you put down that you dont have a cat named suzie!! lol!
ally! you should think better of yourself! you're a great author, and we all love you! why wouldn't we want to write a book report on you?

Hey Ally,
I Love your books. They're right up there with my favourite "To Catch A Pyrate" By Jade Parker. I love a book with suspense, action, and romance. You can count on me to buy GG3 when it comes out. (I've even got my BFF hooked on the GG books)
Quite frankly, if you actually had a cat named Suzie, I would probably die laughing.
But that's just me.
*Marina*
Thank you lots! I wanted to do you as my interview report by the way!Ur the best!!!

That makes total sense. I think that caution is wise. I don't even say what state I'm in or tell my husband's name on my blog, although people have asked.
this is hilarious
because i just finished a 200-page report on Jane Austen, an let me tell you, as fabulous of a writer as she was, your biography would have been much more interesting. :))
