The mission...
Hello Gallagher Girls (and guys),
I'm pleased to report that I am, in fact, back from my top secret mission.
It was a lot of fun, and I had a wonderful weekend in DENVER!
COVERT OPERATIONS REPORT
Operative Ally Carter (hereafter referred to as "the Operative") traveled to Denver, Colorado to engage in a TOP SECRET mission.
My best friend from college, Crazy Beth, has been living in Denver for the past several years and, sadly, I've been too busy to go visit her until now.
The Operative recruited backup for a very important covert operation.
Have I mentioned that my literary agent, Kristin Nelson, also lives in Denver?
And then she recruited MORE backup.
So it seemed to make good sense for me to make the trip out to see Kristin and Beth. And then Beth and I were talking about books that we love and how Stephenie Meyer was going to be coming to Denver...
The Operatives went into a deep cover operation in order to infiltrate a very large (and potentially volatile) crowd.
There are occasionally perks to being an author and one of them is that you can have your agent call Stephenie's publicist (the uber-awesome and totally Gallagher Girlish Elizabeth) and set really TOP SECRET plans into motion...
The Operatives engaged in a clandestine rendezvous with very cool People of Interest.
Writing is such a solitary endeavor that I always enjoy meeting other writers, and obviously Stephenie was no exception. She was, of course, incredibly busy so we only got to speak for a second, but it was fun none-the-less.
Also, it was just AMAZING to see the crowd of screaming and crazy, yet patient and attentive fans.
Beth, Kristin, Sara (Kristin's co-worker) and I all had a great time, and I'm really glad I went.
The Operative tried to sleep on the plane because the vacation is now officially over and she really needs to get back to work!

ps...if any of you live in Denver and would like a signed Gallagher Girls book, I stopped by the Tattered Cover and Barnes and Noble (both downtown Denver locations) to sign what they had, so check them out.

Wow. That's so uber-cool and awesome! Thanks for sharing that with us. I'm glad you had a great time and that you got to meet Stephanie. Hey, what state do you live in, again? I just would like to know if you're coming up to New England anytime soon! (Massachusetts to be exact) ;-)
~Pris
That's soooo cool! Seriously, that's SOOOOO cool! (heehee... short blog this time, so i won't bore you all to death...)
*Artemis*
PS: that is so cool!
PPS: ah! (a as in blackthorne) that is soo cool!
OMG! you were in denver, and got to meet stephenie meyer! o my gosh that is way cool! i wish some of you good writer folks would come to the east coast....like waaay east, have you ever heard of irmo, south carolina? didn't think so. :(
and if the pictures won't load, save your pictures to a disk or (dare i say it?) floppy, then try. you'll have success soon!
wow... not what I was expecting... hahahhaha... where is your next top secret mission?(and did this one involve hott guys???)

gr8! sounds like u had fun!
So jealous! No authors EVER come to Winnipeg, Manitoba. If they come to Canada at all it is very rare. Honestly, if any author who I mildly liked would even go to grand forks (a 3 hour drive away) I would go see them. See, I'm desperate!
That's awesome.
My sis lives in Colorado, but seeing as today is her 21st b-day I knew she wasn't going to stand around last night to get a book signed for me. *sigh
Well, now you've officially met Stephanie Meyer, even if only for a second. :)
awesome. i wish i could pull off things like that! i hope the pics load.
-Stephanie
LOL!!! You are so funny!! When i met Stephenie I was a chicken so i only said "Hi" that's it a lame "Hi" I AM A MORON!!! Also I just read "Audrey Wait" by Robin Benway it was really good/funny. I loved it.-Elise
Thats awesome ally!! I am so glad yuo had a great time!! I think you should come to michigan to g=sign some books for us to buy!! lol. I am so excited for gg3 so get plently of rest and write away!!
-Totally a Gallaghergirl
OMG! That is SO COOL!! I have to admit I'm jealous that you got to meet Stephenie, but you're an awesome author, and you deserve the perks that come with it!! Hope you had fun!!
omg some1 here said they r from irmo S.C. i kno exactly wear that is cuz i live in elgin S.C and i go to lexington alot. isnt irmo really close 2 lexington? i know ive been 2 irmo b4 tho. but its cool that another girl ( or boy but im guessing girl ) from a small town in S.C reads the GG books! which i figured they did just hadnt met any1 yet. im still working on my friends. they say the books sound good. but they wont get their backsides over 2 the library/bookstore to check them out!! lol!

Hey Ally,

- Kate L. M.
glad u had a good time!!!
You really know how to draw out suspense!!!
Glad you had fun!
*Maybe the aforementioned fun can be inspiration to finish that amazing third GG book?*
I dont comment much but I usually get too confused and stuff... however... I have two things to say
1. Do you have any friends in Missouri that you could visit so I could totally stalk you (no i wouldn't but still I would like to meet you and maybely get my books signed.. lol)
2. Stephenie Meyer does rock and I am extremely jealous that you got to talk to her (weather it was for a second or a milisecond) and I agree (if that was what you were implying) that her book signings are VERY loud (especially when in an enclosed area)
3. (I know i only said two things but oh well) Have you ever gone on tour?? I just became a fan of yours like 5 or 6 months ago and haven't herd of you going on any book tours. It would be awesome if you did.
From the fan in the "show me state" letting you know that you're loved in the state of Missouri!!
P.S
I just have to ask:
Are you excited about the Twilight movie too??
and:
Is LYKY gonna be a movie???
if so EEK!!! lol
:) I am so going there to buy one of those books!
ahhhhhhhh i'm soo jealous!!!!!!!!!! stephenie meyer (and you :] ) are my favorite authors!!!!! i don't think the movie will be as good as the book though :(
OHH UR SOOOO LUCKY!!!!!!!!! i wish i could meet Stephenie meyer!! I CANNOT WAIT UNTILL june ninth!!!!2009 ugggggggggggghhhhhh u should post the first half of the book on your website!!!!!
OMG!! HAHA!! I was actually at that book signing with some friends, and we saw Ally! I just wish we could have gotten your attention!
~Kate D.
OMG,OMG,OMG!!!! I love Stephenie Meyer's books. Don't get me wrong, I love your's too. Seriously, you two are my FAVORITE writers. Too cool! I can't wait to see Twilight(the movie.) And if LYKY is made into a movie, I think I might die trying to wait for it. I'm not that patient, as you can see.
