An Uncommon Criminals mini excerpt!
It did not look like a clandestine rendezvous, not with the old woman and young man on the park bench and the teenage girl walking toward them, looking as if she'd just lost her very best friend.

A very exciting development
Hi everyone!
I hope you're warm and safe and dry. I know a lot of you are like me--stranded and snowbound. So I thought this might warm you up a bit.
At least I hope so.
As a reminder, the book will out in the US and Canada on June 21, 2011. Check with a bookstore in your country to find out a release date where you live.

Pop quiz
Due to the spirited discussion of the great pancake versus waffle debate, I am passing the time during my snowed-in-palooza with a pop quiz.
Are you ready?
Go!
1. Snow day or school?
2. Zach or Josh?
3. GG movie or GG TV show?
4. Sweet or salty?
5. Hot chocolate or cider?
6. Basketball or football?
7. Vampire Diaries or Pretty Little Liars?
8. Social Network or The King's Speech?
9. Ski or surf?
10. Soup or salad?

The blizzard of 2011
The weather people have been saying for a few days that the blizzard of the century was on its way. Well, I guess it's here. The good news is that I have a safe, warm house, plenty of food, and the electricity seems to be holding. The bad news is I'm sure I'm one of the lucky ones.
I hope everyone has a safe, dry place to ride out the storm--especially since this system is covering much of the country.
Hang in there, and be good.

Mini blog: What Sarah Said
Still busy doing the last round of edits on the UNCOMMON CRIMINALS galley pages (the pages that are all done up to look like REAL book pages), so today I give you another awesome blog referral.
If you're a writer or want to be a writer or just want to know the utter insanity that comes with living the life of an author, then you should go read this awesome post by author Sarah Ockler.
Read. Enjoy. Repeat.

Mini blog: What Rick Said
In the grand mini blog tradition, today I will not write a post about the misconceptions people have about the business of writing and publishing.
Instead, I'll recommend everyone go read this very insightful post by Rick Riordan who says it better than I ever could.
Have a great day, everyone!

What I have in common with my characters
Hey everybody, today I give you a blog...in bullets. Specifically, bullets that list the ways in which I am like my characters.
* Like Cammie (and Josh), I vastly prefer waffles to pancakes (really, why someone would like pancakes when there are waffles in this world amazes me.)
* Like Kat, I am used to being the only girl at the table.
* Like Cammie, my eyes tend to change colors depending upon what I'm wearing.
* Like Anna Fetterman, I once gave myself a bloody nose while opening a can of...

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to accumulate a master list of GG or Heist or just "ally" related fansites. So if you guys could leave any sites you know of or participate on here in the comments section, that would be a huge help.
thanks!

Mini blog: Hello out there!
Hi everyone!
I have reached the point in the writing process where I have a LOT to do and almost nothing to say, which, sadly, makes me a pretty boring blogger.
But I wanted to let you all know I'm still here and thinking about you and working hard to make GG5 as good as it can be.
A couple of things to note:
1. there's a rumor going around that the title of GG5 will be Spy Like You Mean It. Nice try, but that's not it. I know this because the book doesn't yet HAVE a title (and that one...

Spoiler-Free Zone
Thank you to everyone who has read Only the Good Spy Young! I know you're all dying to discuss the book, but since not everyone has been able to read it yet, the blog is going to remain a spoliler-free zone.
For the time being, comments that contain information/details about what happens in the fourth book will not be approved.
Thank you and keep on reading!
Ally
