New event in Oklahoma City!

Hi everyone!

Ally here with some late-breaking news.

Next Saturday, July 18th, at 3:00 I’ll be at the Barnes & Noble at the Qual Springs Mall in Oklahoma City!

(Note: I previously posted that the time was 4:30. I was WRONG. The time really is 3. I swear this time.)

This is an event that was originally planned with Jennifer Lynn Barnes, but Rachel Vincent and I decided to crash it.

So you’ll get three authors for the price of one! (And considering the event is free to attend, that’s quite a ba...

Happy Summer!

Hello, everyone! Or should I say Bon jour?

Ally here. As some of you may know, I recently went on a big European adventure. (Or…well…a moderately-sized European adventure.)

Thanks to my wonderful UK publisher, Orchard Books, I was able to visit London last month. We got to visit the Guardian offices where I recorded THIS interview. (Check it out if you want to hear me read from ALL FALL DOWN and talk a little about a whole lot of things.)

I also got to do some amazing stuff at the Orchard off...

New Interview With Ally

Hi Everybody!

Ally here.

Yes, it is me. Yes, I am still alive.

I’m happy to say that I’ve finished SEE HOW THEY RUN! (Or, well, the part of SEE HOW THEY RUN I was working on. There will still be some stuff to do in a few weeks, but for now the heavy lifting is over.)

So I’m above water temporarily, and I wanted to share something cool with you.

A few weeks ago I was in London, as many of you know. And while I was there I popped in to see the good folks at The Guardian, and now a recording of...

Magnificent Poetry Monday

Hi Everyone!
