It's tour time!
Hey everybody, I'm sitting in my kitchen watching it snow (hard!) and getting ready to go start packing for tour. I'm leaving this afternoon and hoping the snow doesn't mess stuff up too much. Assuming I can get to Chicago (and I bet I can) I hope many of you will come out tomorrow to help me welcome Heist Society into the world! Yay! Heist Society is here! It's finally here! This is going to be a really fun tour. Just FYI I'm including the complete tour dates once again. If one of these is near you, please visit the store's website for details and come see me! Take care!

Heist Society movie news!
Hey everybody! Wow. Where do I begin? So you guys know that I'm at the American Bookseller's Association's Winter Institute? I've got a book coming out... A tour starting... More books to write... There's a lot going on. Well, I just THOUGHT I was busy because yesterday things went...crazy. You see, about a week ago my wonderful film agent, Sarah Self, sent Heist Society to a handful of trusted producers in Hollyood. That was Friday. On Monday morning she started getting calls about it. By Tuesday night it was going out to studios. Wednesday while I was on a plane to California we started getting offers. And yesterday--yes, while I was doing my signing here in San Jose--things escalated. We had several amazing people all offering amazing things at the exact same time and I had about two and half minutes to pick one. So...yeah...CRAZY! The whole time I was writing Heist I always thought of it as a movie. More than once I've said that it's far more cinematic than anything I've ever done. But what do I know, right? I also think cake is a well-balanced breakfast, so I'm wrong. A lot. But it turns out some really incredibly talented filmmakers seem to agree. At the end of the day we ended up signing with Warner Brothers and the talented Denise DiNovi as the producer. The screenplay will be written by the fabulous Shauna Cross (who wrote Whip It and the screenplay for If I Stay). Please check out this article for more details: http://tinyurl.com/yces864 . And now, I'm afraid, I've got to go, but I do want to remind everyone that this is absolutely NO guarantee that there will be a movie made. And, once again, I will have no say in who is cast in the movie or anything like that. But it IS a first step and a wonderful one at that. And at the very least, if some of the people I respect most in Hollywood think it's a fun, fast, interesting book then I really hope all of you will too! Thanks again to everyone who has made this past week so incredibly special and reminded me how truly blessed I am. Best wishes, Ally Labels: Heist Society movie, Kat/Heist book
And so it begins...
I'm sitting here, looking around my living room, thinking "I hope I can remember what this place looks like" because, let me tell ya, I'm not going to see a lot of it in February. Because February = National Fall in Love With Hale... I mean National Heist Society release month! Yay! Just a quick reminder that I'll be at the American Bookseller's Association Midwinter Institute this week, so if you're a bookseller who is heading that way, please say hi! AND... I'll be signing books TOMORROW for the very first stop on the Heist Society tour!!! Here's the complete tour schedule one more time if you've missed it. -Ally HEIST SOCIETY TOUR

Mini blog: hello out there!
Hello out there! I'm still working, trying with all my might to make GG4--ONLY THE GOOD SPY YOUNG--as strong as possible. So that's why the blog has been pretty quiet lately. That and all the tour prep. And the big AllyCarter.com redesign. And the getting ready for the winter Olympics (that gold metal in hot chocolate drinking is mine this year! ALL MINE!) And the Percy-Jackson-movie-freaking. (It looks sooooo good!) And the soup eating. And the snow watching. And the rewriting. Did I mention the rewriting? I did? Oh well, then that's probably a sign I should get back to it. --Ally
