Frequently Asked Questions – About Books
When will Runaway, the sequel to Being Nikki, be in stores?
Runaway, the third Airhead book featuring Em Watts, will be in stores in May
2010.
Is Forever Princess, Princess Diaries 10, really the last Princess Diaries book?
Yes. Look for it on January 6, 2009. Although I may write about Princess Mia again, I don’t have any more contracted books about her at this time. Both Mia and I need to take a long break!
Will there be any more books in THE HEATHER WELLS series?
At this time more books about Heather are certainly planned, I just need to find time to write them. Books 4 and 5 should be coming out in 2009-2010.
Will there be more books in the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU and Mediator series?
No. The sixth book, TWILIGHT, is the final book in the series. The 5th book in the 1-800-Where-R-You series, MISSING YOU, is the final book in that series, as well. I’m happy about the way both series ended and pleased with where I left the characters.
Will there be more books in the ALL AMERICAN GIRL series?
No, I’m happy with where the sequel, Ready or Not, ended. Look for a short story about Sam and her experience in the White House in Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out
Will there be sequels to PANTS ON FIRE, HOW TO BE POPULAR, or TEEN IDOL?
No, these were all meant to be stand-alone novels.
When will you write another paranormal book like THE MEDIATOR?
The first book in my next series for teens, Abandon, is slated for a 2010/2011 release. .
Is there going to be a MEDIATOR movie, and can I audition for it?
The film rights to the MEDIATOR movie have sold to Julia Pistor, the producer of the Spiderwick Chronicles and she is working on a script. At this time there is no more information on it and no, casting has not begun as there is no studio attached to the project.
Will there be any more Princess Diaries movies?
I don’t think so! The director, producers, and cast have moved on to new projects.
What new movie information about your books do you have?
Both AIRHEAD and All-American Girl have recently been optioned as feature films, and the Mediator series has been optioned by Julia Pistor (Spiderwick Chronicles) as a feature film as well. Size 12 Is Not Fat and Jinx were both optioned by ABC Family. And Queen of Babble has been optioned as a feature film by Jeffrey Sharp of Sharp Independent. Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) is currently slated to star. How to Be Popular was optioned by MTV for a TV movie/series, and film rights to Avalon High went to Disney Channel. Sorry, I have no say in (or details about) casting!
What are you working on now?
Right now I’m working on the next book in my new series about Em Watts (from Airhead) and my new series for younger readers ALLIE FINKLE’S RULES FOR GIRLS (click http://alliefinkle.scholastic.com/ here to read more about it), as well as more adult books.
Why do your book covers and titles vary from country to country?
My book covers, titles, and even some of the book content vary from country to country because they are put out from different publishers. It is highly recommended that readers buy their own country’s editions of the books!
Am I old enough to read your books for adults?
If you have to ask, then no, you are not.
How can I get your autograph?
If you’d like a free newsletter, postcards, and autographed bookplates to stick in your copies of the books, send your request with a SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED REGULAR BUSINESS SIZED ENVELOPE (stamps should total 61 cents. Overseas residents, please enclose a self addressed regular business sized envelope along with an International Reply Coupon (IRC) — available at your local post office — equalling the amount of return postage of a four page newsletter to your country) to: to Meg Cabot, P.O. Box 4904, Key West, FL 33041-4904.
