Frequently Asked Questions

When is the new Blue Bloods novel, REVELATIONS, coming out?
Blue Bloods III: REVELATIONS is coming out October 28, 2008! Wahoo!!! Want to get a sneak peek at the early chapters? Sign up for my newsletter!
Will there be more Blue Bloods books? How many books will there be in the series?
Yes! Lots more. Right now I've planned nine books, but there might be more. I keep answering this question in different ways, talking about three "trilogies" but now that's kind of not true because as I was writing Revelations (book 3) I realized I had so much that it had to be split up into two books: Book Three: Revelations and Book Four: The Van Alen Legacy. So now I kind of have a four-book first "trilogy". LOL. Just like Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (also a four-book "trilogy".) So now since the first trilogy is taking four books, it remains to be seen if the next two "trilogies" take up three books each. It might take four, or two, or who knows... What I do know is that I love writing them, so I'll keep going till it makes sense to stop.
Will there be a Blue Bloods movie? Or TV show? And can I be in it?
RIght now the rights have been optioned, so hopefully the Blue Bloods will come to the big or small screen at some point. I have no say in anything whatsoever castingwise, but if there ever is an open call for auditions I will let you all know.
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 DULCE. 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 the wonderful lady who brought you The O.C. and the Gossip Girl television show is writing the script. So hopefully it will happen! Patient optimism!
Are you writing a sequel to Angels on Sunset Boulevard?
Yes! I am finally writing this book. It is called THE STRIP and I'm not sure yet when it comes out, most likely sometime this fall or early next year.
Are you writing more ASHLEYS books?
Yes! There are four Ashleys books coming out this year:

THE ASHLEYS (There's a New Name in School) is out January 2008.
JEALOUS? (You know you are!) is out March 2008.
BIRTHDAY VICIOUS (It's her party and she'll freak if she wants to) is out August 2008.
LIPGLOSS JUNGLE (Only the strong survive) is out November 2008.
