Ms. Carter spoke about her latest novel, Heist Society, and the fourth in the Gallagher Girls series, Only the Good Spy Young, due out June 15, 2010. The crowd was nearly all tween girls and their moms, and the girls had some great questions about the characters, the story lines, how to become an author, how to handle deadlines, and more.
She spoke about her life as a full-time writer and that while she loves it, there are days when she can watch five episodes of Gilmore Girls on t.v. instead of writing. She was adamant that all it takes is a good manuscript to get published, saying that "I'm living, breathing proof that no connections are needed to make it in this business."
Heist Society is a brand new series from the author and totally unrelated to the Gallagher Girl series. The main character is older, but the book is still appropriate for tweens. She's already begun work on the second title in the Heist Society series, but no word as yet on when to expect that book.
Ms. Carter was gracious and enthusiastic, encouraging questions and taking the time to chat with each girl. We are even bigger fans now.
