Frequently Asked Questions

When is the new Blue Bloods novel, THE VAN ALEN LEGACY, coming out?

October 6, 2009! Yeah, boyyy!

And the next book in the series, MISGUIDED ANGEL, comes out Fall 2010 and the spinoff, WOLF PACT comes out Spring 2011. I have more news to share but will share it when I get the greenlight from the people in charge.

And don't forget the Revelations paperback is out now and all three books will be available in a gorgeous box set in September!


Will there be more Blue Bloods books? How many books will there be in the series?
Yes! There will be lots more. As to how many in total, I'm not quite sure yet. I think there will be ten books that will cover the main story of what happens to Schuyler, Jack, Oliver, Mimi, Bliss, Charles and Allegra. I've mapped out a huge outline for a big story and we'll see how many books it take me to tell it. But there will be lots of mini-arcs so that a lot of things get resolved in every third (or fourth) book. I like little mini-trilogies.
Will there be a Blue Bloods movie? Or TV show? And can I be in it?
Not anytime soon unfortunately. But that doesn't mean never! As for casting, that is so far away as there is no project in development currently, but I will let you know if anything changes.
Will there be more Au Pairs books? Are you writing a fifth Au Pairs novel?
Sadly no. I am not writing an Au Pairs book at the moment. I'm so glad you enjoyed that series, I really enjoyed writing it! But right now I'm really happy with where all the characters ended up, and I want them to enjoy their happy ending for a while. Also, I'm writing a HOT new series that's a lot like Au Pairs called GIRL STAYS IN THE PICTURE. The first book comes out Summer 2009, and it's going to be SO much fun: lots of social-climbing, boy drama, over-shopping, friend-bonding and all the stuff you love and I love to write about.
Will there be an Au Pairs movie?
Hopefully! It's been bought by Warner Brothers and Drew Barrymore's Flower Films and they just re-upped their option and hired a new writer: Liz Garcia is doing the adaptation. Crossing fingers!
Are you writing more ASHLEYS books?
No, I'm not. I'm so sorry, but there is no fifth Ashleys book. I will however, write a short story that will resolve the lingering questions from Lipgloss Jungle. Like, what happens to AA and Tri? Will the Ashleys ever regroup? At one point we were planning two more Ashleys books but my schedule and my mental health and my responsibilities to my family kind of got in the way. I'm sorry not to have good news about the Ashleys, they were really fun to write and I'm so glad you liked them! But look for the short story on my website sometime later this year.
How do you pronounce Schuyler?
Sky-ler. NOT Shoo-ler.
