Post-tour wrap up!
Hello, everybody!
I’m home from tour! Well, technically, I’ve been home about a week, but as is usual post-tour, I got pretty sick (living on airplanes for two weeks will do that to you), but now I’m much better.
First, I’ve got to say THANK YOU to everyone who bought Perfect Scoundrels or came out to see me on tour! The response to the book has been overwhelming!
To be honest, I was really, really nervous about this book. It seemed more difficult than usual to write (of course, as Jennifer Lynn...

(And donuts…so many donuts.)

A few housekeeping things:

Magnificent Monday 1 Day Left!!!
Hi Girls!
Only 1 day left beforePERFECT SCOUNDRELSis available!!!! To get everyone excited I have an excerpt to share!
Kat had to wonder for a minute what that would feel like–homework and uniforms, walks home with nice boys offering to carry your bag. That was her life once. Almost. But Hale had gotten her kicked out of ColganSchool, pulled her back into her own world, just like now he’d been pulled back into his.
“So why are you here, Kat?” Nick asked.
“Maybe I was craving waffles.”
“Kat…” He le...

The thing that I like most about the Heist series is probably that it’s different than the Gallagher Girls series. It’s the opposite of what Cammie does. Cammie tries to bring down an ancient group , while Kat steals different things, bringing them back to their rightful place/owner. The H...

Live chat!
hey everybody!
Huge thanks to everyone who tried to come to the livechat. I’m afraid it started out VERY rocky with lots of technical difficulties. But we eventually moved things over to Twitcam and it worked!
If you tried and gave up on it, I’m so sorry. I’ve included below the footage of the chat, so you can watch that if you wish.
Warning: it’s an hour long. And it contains spoilers. But if you wish you’d been there, at least now you can see what you missed!
Have a great week!

Live chat? Maybe…
Hi everybody!
Long time blog followers know that I’ve been trying (only semi-successfully) to have a live chat for a long time.
Well, I’m in the mood to try again. I have a new Livestream account and tomorrow I’m going to give it a shot.
With your help, of course.
On tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, January 27th, at 5:00 Eastern time things will kick off.
In theory, you guys should be able to ask me questions and I’ll be on a webcam answering them. This may work. It may not. Honestly, I have NO IDEA. B...
