Posted by ellie on March 19, 2009 at 01:26 PM EDT #

Wow. After just finishing Paradise Lost, I want more of Upton! I want him to leave Oxford and come and find Reed at Easton! They're PERFECT. I just like hearing your description of him. Great cliff-hanger, by the way.

Posted by EllenA on March 19, 2009 at 01:26 PM EDT #

hi, sorry but new downloads from paradice lost! would be quite exciting!! lol sorry for bothering you! ellie...x

Posted by ellie on March 19, 2009 at 01:29 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! Just wondering if maybe you could clarify who is supposed to be who for the icons? Because I think a certain one is Reed and my friend thinks it's Noelle! Thanks so much!!

Posted by Blaire on March 19, 2009 at 01:52 PM EDT #

Or I mean avatars, ha ha :D

Posted by Blaire on March 19, 2009 at 01:53 PM EDT #

OMG YES! There's Gonna Be Another One! :D Can Not Wait! You Are Amazing :] Here's One Thing, PLEASE Dont Let Reed Die!!!! Haha Keep On With The Good Work :D

Posted by Belmaa on March 19, 2009 at 02:28 PM EDT #

HEYY! I really think that you should turn they series into movies! I would seriously buy the first ticket! It would be an awesome idea! ps-love your series! at the moment I am reading revelation! They are all amazing! :D <3

Posted by Pageyy! on March 19, 2009 at 03:08 PM EDT #

I've always thought that the Kiran model would be more fitting as Reed, and I think that the girl in the middle of book 7 is a perfect Ivy. Other than that, I think everyone's well-suited to their character.

Posted by James on March 19, 2009 at 03:08 PM EDT #

omg yay next privte bookk... but i heard that the next one was called beautiful disaster and that it came out on june 2nd.. is this true or not because i really need to know

Posted by Bridget on March 19, 2009 at 03:40 PM EDT #

i dont think the people on the covers of the books are supposed to be charecters from the book. they are just meant to be models. anyways i really like the cover for last christamas. but about the whole movie idea-as cool and amazing as it might be, im just afraid about the charecters. they always mess up the charecters in other movies and i have a specific picture of what they all look like in my head and it would ruin it for me if they pick people who look nothing like my charecters.

Posted by Mary Hollis on March 19, 2009 at 03:57 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! Yay im one of the first few. Soon there will be hundreds. Well anyways i really love your avatars and backrounds. My computer has a really cool private backround because of course private is the best series in the universe. Then for chatting systems i have like a private avatar or icon. I think thats really cool. We can show our private pride (: But all in all I think the backrounds are the coolest because when u log onto your computer you can see it right away and yea. But i like the e-cards too. By the way i cant wait for suspicion. Love ya Kate. keep up the better than great work :)

Posted by Meg on March 19, 2009 at 04:04 PM EDT #

Oh Kate, by the way. I think its a horrible idea to make this into a movie or t.v show. Movies always ruin the books. The characters are sometimes not right and that kind of changes my mind on liking things. And private is better as a book its really great and a movie would just ruin it.

Posted by Meg on March 19, 2009 at 04:09 PM EDT #

Hiya! Wow your so kl! kk, t2morrows bookday nd im goin as reed. YH! my frend is thinkin of goin as sum1 from it girl novel, i hear thats ur rival! boo her. so see ya, molly! x

Posted by Molly on March 19, 2009 at 04:28 PM EDT #

hey kate, i was just wondering if you could tell us when u might b putting up the first chapter of suspicion...i hope its soon !!!! keep writing :)

Posted by lakin !!!!! on March 19, 2009 at 04:40 PM EDT #

I picture some of the girls on the cover when i read the books, but i do add my own little features to them. Usually the picture in my head of the characters in books are TOTALLY DIFFERENT but in your books, you describbe them so well that i can't help but to imagine them the way they were intended!!

Posted by Cassidy on March 19, 2009 at 04:55 PM EDT #

I'm sooo looking forward to reading suspicion! I really want to know what happens next. And since my birthday is September 12... i know i will be reading it around there.

Posted by Darla on March 19, 2009 at 05:04 PM EDT #

I loved Paradise Lost! I really didn't like Upton because he was just too much of a player and didn't seem as sincere as Josh (who I love). Reed and Josh need to get back together because they're perfect! And September 1... ahhh. That's gonna be a long wait. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be worth it! :)

Posted by kd on March 19, 2009 at 05:10 PM EDT #

i love these books they are awesome i read each one in about a day. my friends are mad because i spend more time reading than i do them......but oh well

Posted by danielle m. on March 19, 2009 at 05:50 PM EDT #

i may not be to Paradise Lost yet but i'm almost done with Revelation but from the other sayings on this page i guess Josh and Reed don't back together. i really wanted them too. i cried when he broke up with her. but i guess she had a reason to do the things she did with Dash... and they should get over it.. i can't believe sweet Sabine did it. that was a really good twist to it.. i'm thinking about reading The V Club it looks good... Always reading Danielle, OH

Posted by danielle m. on March 19, 2009 at 05:58 PM EDT #

yeahhh soo after i read paradise lost i was freaking out because i thought reed died and i was like super mad because i thought you like ended the series but thank god you didnt! cant wait for suspicion!!

Posted by christie on March 19, 2009 at 06:02 PM EDT #

love love love love love your books!!! omigoshhh i can't wait for suspicion!!! SEPTEMBER 1stt! soo long... JOSH AND REED <3

Posted by daphneee on March 19, 2009 at 06:24 PM EDT #

I really like the desktop wallpapers.. can you update it? add paradise lost on there... i really liked that book cover... so vibrant.. I can't wait for suspicion!!!!! oh and also... I LOVE JOSH!!!! bring him back pleeeease!

Posted by Amanda S. on March 19, 2009 at 07:04 PM EDT #

I would Love if there were pictures that we could get on our I-pods. Like, the book covers so we can see them on-the-go

Posted by Massie on March 19, 2009 at 07:15 PM EDT #

My first comment?I love Josh too! Besides Thomas, he's my favourite guy!I wish there were guys like him out there!*sigh* I absolutely CANNOT wait for Suspicion!I'm absolutely bursting!I'm not sure if I can wait till september... But I think I can since it willbe over a day ater i get the book. I'm proud to say that the private series is my favourite series ever!It even tops my grade 4 obsession of Pony Pals!I'm so obsessed with your books that I'm sneaking around and reading my sister's book Privilege without her knowing cause she won't let me read it!XD I want to thank you for being such a great writer and for using your talents to create Private and Privilege.Your a writing inspiration to me!Thanks Kate!<3

Posted by hunter(ima girl!) on March 19, 2009 at 07:18 PM EDT #

hi kate, this is not about your private series but it's about megan meade's guide to the mcgowan boys. I loved it so much and i keep reading it over and over again and i just wanted to ask you if you can make another book on megan meade and the mcgowan boys? i dont care if its short i just want more detail on evan,finn, and megan and who is megan gonna date and is hailey and evan broken up because you never mentioned that in the book but i love your book i have never finished a book so fast and loved it.

Posted by tiffany on March 19, 2009 at 07:23 PM EDT #

oh my god these books are amazing! i'll find myself thinking about them randomly throughout the day so congrats on writing something that's so influencing and great! i hope Josh and Reed end up together in the next book but i have to read Paradise Lost first to see this Upton guy haha oh and PLEASE don't make the books into a movie or television series because the characters will seriously be ruined by actors and actresses who probably won't be able to portray Reed or Noelle the right way. keep up the excellent writing and i can't wait for your new book to come out!

Posted by Candy S. on March 19, 2009 at 07:27 PM EDT #

I loveeeeeeeeeee the private books! I just started "paradise lost" but i really hope josh and reed get back together!!! please! lol. well thanks for writing such amazing books! i also read "privilege". i lovedd it!!! i loved all the drama. lol. but i didn't like kaitlynn at all. lol. never stop writing!! xoxo, kaitlyn

Posted by Kaitlyn on March 19, 2009 at 08:39 PM EDT #

OH MY GOODNESS, ive been so busy with school work that my reading had to take a pause but HURRY UP WITH SUSPICION!! i just finished Paradise Lost and im freaking out! youre amazing!!

Posted by privatefanatic on March 19, 2009 at 11:03 PM EDT #

hey kate- how many books do you think this series is going to have? It must take forever to write all these books! Do you just write in your free time or is writing like your full-time job? love the series!! keep writing!

Posted by Cassidy on March 19, 2009 at 11:43 PM EDT #

Sorry doesn't have anything to do with this post but how many books in total will be in this series? I have just come across your books but am eagerly awaiting for a box set but I want to ensure that I purchase it when it's a complete set...perfectionist, nah just an addicted reader that love pretty books LoL.

Posted by Angie on March 20, 2009 at 04:58 AM EDT #

how can you tell which charcter on the front of the book is which....

Posted by Samantha on March 20, 2009 at 02:49 PM EDT #

Looove PL. Can't wait for Suspicion. I think I speak for every one when I say: post the 1st chapter of suspicion like you did with PL! People write this...and maybe it will happen!

Posted by Vicky on March 20, 2009 at 03:00 PM EDT #

i love ur books...i finished paradise lost..and quite honestly..upton was introduced like a player in the beginning but after time i began to love upton. however, josh and reed NEED, NEED ,NEED TO GET BACK TOGETHER...and can you warn readers that have not read the book that there might be spoilers becuase i was a victim!

Posted by nish on March 20, 2009 at 04:59 PM EDT #

very very cool downloadsss.. I also like the way you can see the pictures on the book in a whole... I LOVE YOUR BOOKS! and HOLLIS IS AMAZIN'!! REED AND JOSH <3

Posted by katie on March 20, 2009 at 05:44 PM EDT #

ANGIE- the people on the covers arent necesarilly supposed to be charecters.

Posted by Mary Hollis on March 20, 2009 at 07:11 PM EDT #

i am obessesed with your books! Can't wait for Beautiful Disaster and Suspision. So, just wondering..what is Ariana's family history with Sabine about? Ariana never mentioned Sabine and then all of a sudden Sabine is getting revenge for Ariana. Did Ariana like or not like Sabine? How is Sabine related to Ariana?

Posted by Theresa on March 20, 2009 at 07:58 PM EDT #

HEY GIRL HEY, how's it goin? How's suspision cookin?! Josh got any dialog? I miss that boy. Anywho, I agree with Theresa. I want to know what the back story with Ariana and Sabine is. Give me the 411! :)Holla back girl!

Posted by Brandi on March 20, 2009 at 08:01 PM EDT #

how many more books will you be writing? a dozen i hope

Posted by kayla on March 20, 2009 at 08:42 PM EDT #

Hey kate! So I LOVE THIS NEW BOOK! I do miss josh, and I don't really like him with Ivy, but I love how you added more romance in this book with Upton. I love Reed and josh together <3. I love how you write, and please never stop, because your books are the only books that I read! I can't wait for the new one to come out. The only thing I would like, is if for one book, the bad bad stuff would stop happening to Reed. I find she gets picked on a lot, and it makes me sad! I love your books, and I know it takes awhile to write and do the whole process of making the book, but please hurry up! I can't stand waiting for you to write a new one. :) Have fun writing, and I love how you are in touch with all your fans! <3

Posted by Madison on March 20, 2009 at 09:04 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! You sure know how to captivate readers. I can't get enough of this series. I'll admit I did freak when I saw the new book won't be out till September, but I'm sure it will be amazing. Until then, I'll be ready for the next Privilege book! Thank you for everything! xoxo Brittany

Posted by Brittany on March 21, 2009 at 02:04 AM EDT #

i just thought that u cant let reed die because shes the narator thingy not unless u do the thing that malorie blackman did and swaped narator while she was unconsious or something which would be cool to think of someone else telling the story. i ahve already preordered suspision how funny ha love you kate ;)

Posted by Yasmin on March 21, 2009 at 06:38 AM EDT #

I just finished Paradise Lost and I have to say i loved it. I finished it in two days and my sister yelled at me and said to stop reading haha.So i hear the next book is called Suspition and I can't wait to see if Reed lives [which she probable will] and if she does how you pull tht off. I love your books! bye

Posted by Emily on March 21, 2009 at 10:51 AM EDT #

i agree with Theresa and Brandi. what is Sabine and Ariana's relationship? i'm DYING to know!

i really like the Legacy cover and wallpaper/ downloads for it! i have to say that the thing that brought me to read the books were the amazing covers <3 i also love josh! so PLEASE in the next book let them get back together!

Posted by Sheila on March 21, 2009 at 02:32 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! It's Blaire again :D Anyway, I know the next Privilege book (Beautiful Disaster) comes out in June and I cannot wait... But I was looking on some online bookstores and saw that you're having a book called Perfect Mistake coming out this October... Is that the next Privilege book after Beautiful Disaster?? JW because I know it's not a Private novel since Suspicion is the next one and it comes out in September... It also said you had a book coming out, also in October, called Exmas? IDK what that might be... Maybe this isn't true... Please let me know! Thanks so much!!!!

Posted by Blaire on March 21, 2009 at 04:07 PM EDT #

On Amazon and Borders it says Suspicion isn't coming out 'til Sept. 8. Y do u say Sept. 1? Did u change it?

Posted by Steph :-) on March 21, 2009 at 06:37 PM EDT #

oh my gosh I LOVE your books so much! The last ones have been so good ! I read all of them in one day- thats how good they are. So ne way i really think that you should get Reed and Josh back together because they are just so cute! When you broke them up i was depressed for weeks! Please just let Reed have a happy love life for a book it would be so refreshing! Weather it be with Josh or Upton- i just want her to be happy with someone! Please make it happen!

Posted by Lucy on March 21, 2009 at 08:24 PM EDT #

1) love last christmas wallpaper. absolute fave. 2) am confused with which series suspicion belongs to( private or privlege?). 3) think you should have some with couples like noelle and dash, reed and upton or reed and josh. 4) can you clarify which icon is who? can't remeber exactly what each character looks like. 5) think noelle should have her own series too. think she would be an awesome character to learn more about. 6) you're an awsome writer!

Posted by Beth on March 21, 2009 at 09:18 PM EDT #

on point number 3 i'm refering to the downloads. sorry. :)

Posted by beth on March 21, 2009 at 09:20 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! your books are the best. i live by them. i can not wait for suspision! A few people left comments about Ariana and Sabine. I would also really like to have that cleared up!! please! <3

Posted by Holly on March 21, 2009 at 10:30 PM EDT #

hey ellie she wants you to bliog thats the whole reason she has a blog youre not bothering her and kate i love the downloads you already have what i want to see is a new case file maybe about the island

Posted by Meggan on March 21, 2009 at 11:55 PM EDT #

oh a case file on the whole sabine ariana that would be good clear things up in paradise lost ou dont really say what happend to sabine

Posted by Meggan on March 21, 2009 at 11:57 PM EDT #

Hey Kate I love the Private series. I can NOT wait for Beautiful Disaster.... I hope Reed is still alive I was freaking out. Kate can you please put up the first Chapter of Beautiful Disaster. I really want to find out if Reed is ok and who the person is who pushed her off. I really want Reed to date Upton. Upton may be a player but I think Reed could change him for the better. I think Upton really cares for Reed the way Thomas did. Reed and Josh do not belong together. Josh should be her best friend. Reed could not open up to him. I think if Thomas or Upton were around at the time Sabine was trying to kill Reed that they would have known about it. Upton really reminds me of Thomas. Thomas is the only one of Reeds friends/boyfriends who knew about her mom. Reed needs someone she can open up to. I think that person is Upton. You can tell that Reed really cares for Upton the way she cared for Thomas and vise versa.

Posted by Breanne on March 22, 2009 at 12:22 PM EDT #

My b i meant Suspicion!!!!

Posted by Breanne on March 22, 2009 at 12:38 PM EDT #

hey. SEPTEMBER 1ST. AHHHH!!! AND SUSPICION IS A COOL NAME FOR THE BOOOK. DO YOU HAVE LIKE THE SUMMARY OUT OR ANYTHING. CAUSE I CAN NOT WAIT THAT LONG. THE AGONY OF IT ALL.

Posted by Gabriela on March 22, 2009 at 03:10 PM EDT #

ok kate i have a question!! when u rite the books, do u plan out what happens beforehand? b/c u have such amazing forshadowing in the books! like for example, josh's seat was in a different position in 1 book and later we find out that it was b/c noelle was driving. stuff like that. do u have it all planed out what will happen in the books, or do u make it up as you go along

Posted by Mary Hollis on March 22, 2009 at 04:28 PM EDT #

I just wanna start off by saying I love your books!! I just started to read them on Tuesday and I just finished Legacy yesterday. These books are so amazing and I finish them so quickly! I use all of the background on my computer and on my blackberry. Me and my friends send each other e-cards everyday. I just read that on the Private cover the center one on the front is suppose to be Noelle. I always pictured Reed as her. I also read that Kiran was the one on the but i thought that in Private she had long brown (maybe it was black) hair, at least I know it said she wore it in a bun. I also thought that Taylor was blonde and it says that the one on the far right is Taylor. I guess everyone has their own interpretations. I cannot wait for all the next books to read, especially Paradise Lost. Thanks for doing what you do. :]

Posted by Lissa on March 22, 2009 at 05:03 PM EDT #

I forgot to add this.....I don't know if you can answer these questions but I was wondering do you ever do contests? Such as the winner gets their name put in the next book, like a character? That would be amazing if I was reading and you named a character after me. You are really my inspiration and my favorite writer ever. You are so much better than Stephenie Meyer. Thanks for doing what you do. :]

Posted by Lissa on March 22, 2009 at 05:03 PM EDT #

Yea i agree with Lissa. That would be soooo cool if you could have a contest where winner's name gets to be in the book. My real name isn't meg by the way haha. But i would put my real name in the contest. (:

Posted by Meg on March 22, 2009 at 05:43 PM EDT #

Soo, im a little confused after reading all the comments. I would really like to know whos who on the cover and im afraid if i google it the results wont actually be true. And im also confused about wat books r coming out in october and i dont mean Sudpicion or Beautiful Disaster. Someone was saying there was a book called Perfect Mistake coming out, is that the third book of the Privilage series? Anyways, kate, u r a SPECTACULAR writer and truly talented!! Reed and Josh forever <3

Posted by kerri on March 22, 2009 at 07:41 PM EDT #

oops, i spelt suspicion wrong, suspicion* srry!! oo and i love the icon for inner circle and last christmas, i loveeeee the model's clothes on all the books, i want all of them!!! lol Red and Josh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by kerri on March 22, 2009 at 07:49 PM EDT #

i lovedd paradise lostt!!!! i cant wait for sept 1st:(( ahaha your an amazingg writer and don't stop writing the private books!!! whats gonna happen to upton??!?!?!? who rescues reed??? i haveee to knoww! whens the next privledge book coming outt??? that was reeally good! i cant believe she killed briana leigh for nothingg! poor hudson! dont stop writing:)

Posted by meggg on March 22, 2009 at 08:47 PM EDT #

Okay so first of all my favorite download was the Last Christmas wallpaper. OK so I seriously just like 10 minutes ago finished Paradise lost and it was absolutley AWESOME!! I read it in 2 days. But after the last 2 chapters i decided that i dont like Upton at all. He is such a player and I think he is a jerk for doing that to Reed. She is such a sweet girl and diserves a guy way better then Upton. I really liked him at first and thought that he was perfect for Reed, but again and again he kept cheating on her and kissing other girls, and again and again he kept breaking her heart. But i cant wait for Suspicion to come out cause i need to know who it was that pushed her over the side of the boat. I love you and your books and i cant wait for Suspicion and beautiful disaster!!!

Posted by Hannah(: on March 22, 2009 at 09:08 PM EDT #

Hey Kate!! I've had the Private screensaver since it came available, and I love it!! Everytime I see it I think about the books, and I get so excited thinking about where you're going to take the story next!! September 1st seems SO far away!! The wait will be torture, but at least I'll have the other books to get me by.

Posted by Kate K on March 23, 2009 at 01:55 AM EDT #

LOVE THE BOOKS... aparently my other comments were too big to display so im making this one short :P ok 1. love josh... reed and josh should get back together 2. Hate Upton- reed should dump him 3. haven't checked the downloads yet... deff will 4. So excited for suspicion 5. Can't wait 6. U rock 7. Can't think of anything else 8. ok im gonna go now :P 9. yahh... ok... byee 10. Aly ( a major fan)

Posted by Aly on March 23, 2009 at 03:33 PM EDT #

I love the Private series! everytime i get one of the next books i won't stop reading until i'm finished, then i get sad because i wished that i had've savoured it. i will definitely be upset when the series ends. the books are amazing. I am glad that you brought back Kiran and Taylor in Paradise Lost. and Upton sounds HOT! i used to think that Josh and Reed should get back together, but not so much anymore. because every since Reed and Ivy started to be on the "same team" it just wouldnt be right. and Josh is happy with Ivy. and if he got back together with Reed it would just go back to square one, with him hating Reed, since she's back in Billings now, and history would just end up repeating itself. so those are some of my thoughts... and please keep up the series, you're doing a GREAT job! :) -Megan

Posted by Megan on March 23, 2009 at 05:17 PM EDT #

i meant him hating Noelle** just a side note...

Posted by Megan on March 23, 2009 at 05:19 PM EDT #

hi Kate Brian you are like a reallly good writer and im on vacation right now and saw your books in the store before i left and i bought three but now i read them so fast and they were so good that im dying! but thanks so much your such a good writer! :)

Posted by paix.bisous on March 23, 2009 at 08:26 PM EDT #

HEY! I LOVE the downloadable things! They are really cute. I think you should add the cover wallpapers of Ambition, Paradise Lost, and Suspicion. I also think that you should make a icon of EACH character on the covers for EACH book. Do you get what I mean? Well, that would be all. It would be great if u did make those updates because I cant wait!

Posted by Suheyla Cavdar on March 23, 2009 at 09:47 PM EDT #

I cannot believe, I have to wait until September 1st to find out what happens to Reed. I really would like to know... That was a big cliff hanger like the end of revelation. :)... well cant wait until that book is published. hope is as great as the last one.

Posted by Jessica on March 23, 2009 at 11:26 PM EDT #

I think a myspace layout would totally be amazing! I would totally jump on that band wagon!

Posted by Rebecca on March 24, 2009 at 12:38 PM EDT #

Hiya, I've just finished reading Paradise Lost and it's soo amazing! Please write the next one as quickly as possible, I literally cannot wait!!! I live in England, and the books aren't that big over here but i'm getting all my friends to read them! Keep up the good work!

Posted by Gemma :) on March 24, 2009 at 12:38 PM EDT #

Hi Kate! I have to say my fave downloads on this site are the e-cards... even though they're not really downloads haa ha but hey i use the other downloads too!! hee hee Anyway Kate I just have one question: see when I write there's always something that inspires me to write.. it sometimes is a simple thing like a bird flying over my head or something that happened to me that completely changed my life. So what was your inspiration to write Private???

Posted by Julia :D on March 24, 2009 at 03:18 PM EDT #

Kate your amazing! paradise lost was fantastic me and my friends have been writing our version of suspicion but of course it wont be as good as yours! Totally in love with Sawyer dont know why his captured my heart! I want to know more about Ivy and Josh! including the billings secrets. Hope there's more scandals on the way! cant wait!

Posted by maya on March 24, 2009 at 04:35 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! i absolutly adore your books i have read private from the start and all the books are equally amazing! i just started to read privilege today, and i already finished it cuz it was soooooo good!!! i loved it! i used to rlly like ariana til the thomas thing and then i rlly didnt like her. but i found myself feeling really sorry for her i couldnt imagine having togive up my friends and family. but anyway how many books r u gnna write for private? (hopefully like 50 lol) i love those books. and ariana's signature accessory is a fleur di lis necklace but what is noelle, kiran, and reed's signature accessories? im dieing to know!okay well thank you! keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Makenna on March 24, 2009 at 05:03 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! I'm so happy that there is another book. But September 1st?! I don't know if I can wait that long! haha. I'm so super excited for this book, and I'm sure it will be just as great, if not better, than the others. Thank you for writing books that I actually like! <3Sami.

AAH i luuuv your books they are the besst!!! i have no idea how u come up wth all this drama ur books are so amazing and good and i can never putthem down or stop reading cause ujust keep it going and throwing new surprises out there all the tim ei luv it!! i was also wondering when The priveleged novels would talk about reed, like if ariana knew if reed was still alive or if sabine got to her or if maybe they would mention if reed was dead while araiana was in school. also, if sabine went to the same rehab as ariana and ariana is nawt there because she "died" in the lake. i wish that ariana would come help sabine out andthen ariana would stopp killing people and everyone would beleive reed when theythought she was insane. I am so excited for the next ne thank u so much for writing i luuv ur books! <#

I really really really love these books and I read the first 7 of them along time ago all in one day. I just finished the 8th and 9th books and I am insanely irritated that it will be September before I learn of who it was who pushed Reed. I would just like to say that I would love it if Reed dumped Upton and got with a real man, a man like Sawyer! I feel like he is mature enough to handle her baggage and sweet just like the Thomas and Josh. Obviously she cannot remain with Josh because her and Ivy are now friends. It would be cruel for Josh to dump Ivy. Personally I was glad that Upton didn't get his way with Reed, oh poor Poppy. I hope Poppy pushed Upton over the edge, he is a loser! I am voting for Sawyer all the way, I actually thought that she was gonna dump the loser Upton and date Sawyer when he gave her that necklace. Oh, Reed needs to learn a lot more about boys. Please do NOT tell me that Sawyer is the one that pushed Reed! I will be very unhappy with that outcome!

I love this series so much PLEASE keep writing and if you could move the date sep. 1st a little sooner that would be great I don't think I can wait that long. I really love Reed and Upton together but what if them going out made Josh realize what he was missing out on. ;) I'm so excited for it!!!!!!

Posted by Michelle on March 24, 2009 at 11:21 PM EDT #

Kate, please make reed and josh get back together! i love Josh. he keeps Reed grounded and always helps her out. They NEED to get back together. or i'll be soooooooooooooo upset! he is one of the main reasons why i love Private so much! please make Reed and Josh get back together. who cares about Ivy?! josh and Reed were made for each other! please please please make them get back together Kate! I LOVEE JOSH! please please please put them back together. he is perfect for reed. & he is a great guy. they LOVE each other. love can't just go away. that doesn't happen. so they need to get back together. please!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Sami on March 25, 2009 at 03:42 PM EDT #

so im basically super excited for the new book to come out. =] about all this movie talk. ive said it before...it would be amazing. Have you watched "secret life of an american teenager"? well the girl who plays the lead, in my mind, would totally make a belivable reed. shes little and kinna shy the perfect reed. i really think that you should look into this because it would be a huge seller and i would love to see my favorate books come to life.

Posted by Candice on March 25, 2009 at 04:28 PM EDT #

This is the first time I'm leaving a comment!! Yay!! Anyways....Kate (if I may call you that) you are an amazing author!! I cannot wait until Suspicion comes out!!! It's gonna be good!! Paradise Lost left me hanging..like crazy! I need to know what happens but I guess I have to wait like everyone else!! I hope someday soon you can post the first chapter or something like that!! Can you do that? Please!! Haha, ok I'll stop pestering you! Wait a minute...the Private series is turning into a movie??? That. Would. Be. Awesome!!!! I really hope it can. Oh yeah the downloads are cool. I made the Private cover my background on my computer!!

Posted by Ashley on March 25, 2009 at 05:18 PM EDT #

OMG! literally just finished Paradise Lost and it was magical! i couldnt put it down! i screamed at the ending! i dont want her to get hurt! i love upton!! hes sexy. KEEP WRITING! I beg you. your are such a good writer!!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOUR BOOKS!!

Posted by Theresa on March 25, 2009 at 07:32 PM EDT #

I keep expecting to finally reach the end of the series, but you continue to leave me BEGGING for more! I cannot believe all that has happened. I've been dying to know what became of Ivy and why Josh wasn't mentioned again. I love Upton and have my Suspicions about Poppy and Paige. I cannot believe Reed is on the verge again! I honestly CANNOT wait for the next one, I just HAVE to know what happens next. I am addicted to the world you have created and I eagerly look foward to Suspicion!

Posted by Zenia on March 25, 2009 at 09:33 PM EDT #

OhMyGosh! I loveddddd Paradise Lost But I miss Josh :( why hasnt he called and whats he doing with Ivy!? X[ I really really CANNOT wait for Suspicion! I almost had a heart attack when I saw Paradise Lost in the bookstore. So yeah I guess waiting makes it more exciting :D

Posted by Alexsandra on March 25, 2009 at 10:44 PM EDT #

So i love yor books andd please keep keep writing and make reed and jos back together@q ÇX thanksssQQ bye

Posted by P on March 25, 2009 at 11:59 PM EDT #

what i totally believe is going to happen is that amberly pushed reed of jelousy or i dont know even ariana came back.. Or something like that, but i think reed is going to dump upton for letting her alone like that and shes going back to easton and that and since mr.hathaway is going to take the job as the headmaster sawer will come back to easton and theres going to be a triangle between reed josh and sawer

Posted by paulie on March 26, 2009 at 12:19 AM EDT #

Okay, I said this in previous posts, a few weeks ago. But I really kinda hate Upton. Something about him just irritates me! I'm not sure what though, he just seems like a jackass to me. and BEAUTIFUL DISASTER is the next PRIVILEGE book, right?? And that comes out in June??

Posted by Rebecaaa on March 26, 2009 at 02:16 AM EDT #

I just want to say that i absolutely LOVE your books!! i read every single one in one day in just a couple hours really, and its so easy to pick up right where i left off i am never wondering trying to remember what happened your books are so intriguing i love them all! even ones outside the private series i could not put down. thanks kate!

Posted by ?privatenovels? on March 26, 2009 at 02:59 PM EDT #

This is my first comment, yay! well Kate, I'm definitly a late comer to reading these books, as I just finished Untouchable. I made the mistake of reading Privlege first, and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE Ariana. So, my reading is all out of whack but I just can't get enough of the Private series. I'll be honest, when I first saw your book, Private, I thought it was going to be just another second rate book about the drama of everyday life. I admit, I was WAY wrong. These books aren't just for girls either, I'm a boy and I love reading them. Thank you for being such an amazing author! Oh and my favorite download is the invitation only background, and I sent out those e-cards for my birthday with the invitation only card, to make it more exclusive. XOXO

Posted by Brendan on March 26, 2009 at 04:51 PM EDT #

no offense, this looks like a great series but the clique books have more comments than this. but these books r probably gr8 2.

Ok, so I think I'm the only one that feels this way but I really like Upton and I would like to see Reed stay with him in the next book. Lets face it, the Josh thing will never happen. If Ivy survives, Josh will be too guilty to leave her and Reed will look like a horrible person if she pursues him, esp. since she's basically the reason Ivy got shot. And, if Ivy dies, Josh and Reed will feel too guilty to ever be together. Upton is different and maybe Reed really can make him a better person while also finding some drama free love. I mean he does picnics and horseback riding. Hello prince charming!!!

Posted by Gracie Hart on March 26, 2009 at 10:45 PM EDT #

DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED PARADISE LOST!!!! Does anyone else think that Mrs. Ryan pushed Reed? Just like Sabine tried to take revenge on behalf of Ariana maybe Mrs. Ryan did too. After all, her son Daniel did date Reed and he was absolutely in love with her. Maybe Mrs. Ryan somehow holds Reed responsible for the demise of the relationship even though it was Ariana who broke it off with him in hopes of having a relationship with Thomas. Poppy just seems like too obvious of suspect to have actually pushed Reed.

Posted by Gracie Hart on March 26, 2009 at 10:49 PM EDT #

Sorry the above post should say: "After all, her son Daniel did date Ariana and he was absolutely in love with her." I was thinking about two things at once there and messed up the names.

Posted by Gracie Hart on March 26, 2009 at 10:51 PM EDT #

Well what I think is that you should update your case file and the series on this website...but yeahh...other than that...ITS GREAT!.....AND DO NOT (underline) stop writing the private series!!!.I LOVE DEM TO DEATH!.... KEEp it up Kate!

NVM KATE!....you dont need to update the series on this website just the case...thats all

wow. paradise lost was amazing. i litterally can't wait for suspiscion! so i beg you to post the first chapter as soon as you can. kate, you are brilliant. your books make me happy :) so i'm gonna re-read the series for the THIRTEENETH time :) private books are like one of my bibles. you are greatly appreciated and i love you and your writing. keep em coming.

Posted by Elizabeth Bird :) on March 27, 2009 at 12:23 AM EDT #

Hey kate I was just lookin at the cover for suspicion and noticed that who ever the brown hair avatar with the purple dress is, is wearing the same bracelet the girl from beautiful disaster (Arianna/ Brianna Leigh) is wearing! Haha is there a reason for that? Or a coincedence? but anyways I LOVED paradise lost and idk who the avatars are on the books please clarify that!!! :)

Posted by Marisa on March 27, 2009 at 04:49 PM EDT #

What is Suspician about i am so curious and i dont have a book to read now!! Hurry and finish it.

Posted by Allysa on March 27, 2009 at 04:58 PM EDT #

You are an incredible author, as I know you have been told before. I just do not understand why you made reed almost die in revelation, and now in paradise lost. since you are (thankfully!!!!) writing another one, I am forgiving you...haha. But, please, have Josh and Reed get back together, Upton is just a summer fling, jerk dude, (excuse my language) and I honestly think, and strongly believe Reed is meant for Josh. Forget Ivy, she is mean. I realize you probably already know what is going to occur in your next novel, however I would extremely appreciate it if you would take the time to read this comment. Then again by the time you read that sentence you will have already read the contest. Oh well, thank you for your time, keep writing! :D Analise PS If possible, I will love you forever if you write I sequal to Megan Mead's guide to the McGowan (I am not sure if I spelled that right) Boys.

Hey Marissa you've got a good eye! Maybe it's that girl from priviledged her name was like kaitlin or something..Ariana's crazy roomate

Posted by Lindsay on March 28, 2009 at 12:43 AM EDT #

Ugh I can not wait till September. Lost Paradise was so good, and of course you had to leave us with the biggest cliff hanger ever. I want to know what happens, there are so many people that could of pushed her. Oh and I really don't like Upton kid. It seems like he keeps on lying to Reed about how he changed. I like Sawyer though, him and his brother should transfer to Easton, maybe there can be something between Reed and Sawyer.

Posted by Michelab on March 28, 2009 at 12:44 AM EDT #

hey kate i love love love your books!!! i own them all!! i cant wait for the next one on both private and privilege novels!! i was wondering if you can give names to the faces... meaning which girl is who ( the girls on the cover of your books) i am very curious of who you interpret who to be I.E. reed noel and so fourth.. that would be amazing!! thanks for writing wonderful books..take care p.s. i cant wait for the books to come out.. your one of my favorite authors!!

Kate Brian you are my idol! You have inspried me to read more. I absolutely hated reading! But my friend was readting LUCKY T and on the back it was showing the cover of Private and it looked interesting so i read it awhile ago and i was absolutely addicted. Now i read at least 2 hours a day non-stop.i got paradise lost early and read it! it was bloody awesome! the best book you've ever written! I LOVE UPTON! Poppy is getting on my nerves. i don't want reed and josh back together because if reed really trusted him she would have..you know? like with thomas. upton is like thomas. they're both players. reed changed thomas. im sure reed will change upton.im 100% positive reed will live because i would cry my head out if she doesn't.i don't know how you do it but all i know is that you're bloody brilliant! aboslutely l1005 without a doubt birlliant! please please please keep the series going. is there a book after suspicion? with love, Bonnie

Posted by Bonnie on March 28, 2009 at 04:38 PM EDT #

Hey kate! Thanks for writing the Private series. I am totally hooked. I have one question. When does Beautiful Disaster come out? Miranda (-:

Posted by Miranda on March 28, 2009 at 04:42 PM EDT #

OMG I LOVE THESE BOOKS! Kate you are like a seriously amazing author. This is the best series I have EVER read..even better than the Clique and Twilight!! Everytime I get a new Private book I read it like 24/7 and my mom is always telling me to put it down but i'm always sooo into it! I love reading them so much. I cannot wait for the next book! Keep Writing (:

Posted by Allison on March 28, 2009 at 08:40 PM EDT #

OMGSH! I can't believe we have to wait until September. I just finshed reading Paradice Lost and I was like OMG how could she leave un hanging like that. I was like about to cry because there was no little insert saying that there was going to be another book. I was like freaking out. Kate, don't stop writing Private or Privledge. They are both great and I can't wait to read the next one.

Posted by Victoria on March 28, 2009 at 09:41 PM EDT #

Hey, I just wanted to say that I finished Privilege (my mom was saving it for April vacation but caved), and like with Last Christmas, all the bits involving her mother made me cry :( I think it's partly because Ariana's mom reminds me so much of my best friend and I end up feeling really connected to her because of it, but I'm also a very emotional person in general and would probably cry anyway. I know it's sort of implausible, but I really wish there were a way for them to see each other again. I can't hate Ariana with that kind of element in her background. I think the worst part for me was when she left the necklace with Briana Leigh's body so everyone would be sure it was her. I know it's probably way too much to ask, but could you at least consider trying to find a way to reunite them? I just can't stand it. I can't stand the thought of Mandy--uh, Ariana's mom never seeing her baby again. :(

Posted by Unnamed on March 28, 2009 at 09:41 PM EDT #

hi kate its reina from cali..well i just wanted to tell you that im in love with your books like omigod!!paradise lost made me think about the book all day. i really wanted josh and reed to get back together and everything..but upton seems like so nice..i still like josh better lol. well i cant wait until suspicion comes out because im crazy for your books. you are one of the only writers i stay tuned with.i literally force my parents to get me every single one of your privet novels. and the privelage one too. plus last christmas hahah.well i cant wait!!!

Posted by reina on March 28, 2009 at 10:24 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! I wanted to let you know that all of your books are great! And they just keep getting better! One thing I would absolutely love would be if you could make the Private series into a tv series! I know that it is people like movie studio executives and others who contribute to making that possible, but I think it would really be a big hit. I would watch EVERY single episode. The Private series are so well written. And there are so many books, that it would make a great television series like, "Gossip Girl." I have talked to several of my friends and we all agree that it should be made into a movie. We came up with this list of 10 reasons why the private series should be made into a movie/TV show. 10 Reasons Why: 1. There needs to be a new show on tv. We all love Gossip Girl, CSI, and America's Next Top Model, but there needs to be a fresh, new, hip show. The Private Series would be great for that. Not only does it deliver the scandalous things that happen in Gossip Girl, but it also includes intriguing things like murders. That is practically all three of the shows above mixed in a way that would deeply satisfy the average fan/couch potato. 2.We've read all of the books that have come out so far. There is not much to do besides imagine what is going to happen next--which is not a bad thing, because using our imaginations can fun and creative. But it would be nice to watch weekly episodes of the books we have already read, and instead of imagining the characters, we can actually see them being portrayed by actors/actresses. 3.I need a new tv show niche. 4.The people who may start watching the show, being fascinated by the commercials, will probably want to read the books--leaving you with more money! And who doesn't love some extra cash! 5. Although I have already vaguely touched up on this area, I would really like to see how the books would be portrayed. I wonder how Easton will look, how all of the characters will look, (although you have already done a brilliant job describing them in your books) and I want to see how everything all together will be. 6. I bet everyone who has read the books want to see them be made into a movie/tv show. 7. There are probably some actresses/actors who are probably broke or currently unemployed who would portray one of the characters well, and would greatly appreciate being hired. 8. Don't you think, as an author, that it would be beyond excellent to see them as a tv show. To think that you created the characters that are on the television screen. To know that you were the one to come up with that. That would bring me great joy. 9. Whats better than sitting with friends, finishing up your homework on a school night, while watching your fave tv show? The answer: NOTHING! (Other than reading the Private series, of course. :D) 10. Last, but not least, the books are so great. Why not? There are countless other reasons, but it is getting kind of late. If I think of more in the middle of my sleep, or of other sort, I will write them down and holler out. I hope I have inspired you. Here is a petition that some of us fans have made. http://www.petitiononline.com/pmovietv/petition.html The signatures: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?pmovietv Perhaps you can find connections and make it happen. I wish you luck! :D -Christine

Posted by Christine on March 28, 2009 at 11:55 PM EDT #

I love all of the Private Series. They are all so good. And yet, they keep getting better. You are such a FANTASTIC author. http://www.petitiononline.com/pmovietv/petition.html Check it out! Us fans are dying for a show! :D I know that it is movie studio executives and various other careers that make it happen too, but perhaps you can make some connections too. I hope so. :D

Posted by Christine on March 28, 2009 at 11:59 PM EDT #

I am really exited to read your next book.....As much as ive wanted Reed to be with Josh, I don't think it can happen because i believe he will stay with Ivy since he's not that kind of person to leave her...so I really hope you have Upton go after Reed so they can be together because she really deserves to be happy:)

Posted by Morgan on March 29, 2009 at 01:35 AM EDT #

i thought of reed with sawyer instead. haha. lol. just that i know his upset about her sister and all. his cute though the way you described him. anyhoo, best of luck, dear kate brian :) p/s: please don't let reed undergoes the whole near-dead experiences again. can't wait for the next book. i was like dang, isn't there supposed to be some sneak peek for the next book or something or the new cover for the next book inside the PD's all the best.

Posted by Zuleikha on March 29, 2009 at 06:10 AM EDT #

It's coming out on the 1st? I thought it was the 8th! Yay! Wow, eveyone likes the month september...the book, new moon, and a lot of other things. I just can't think of it. I'm trying to figure out who pushed Reed! I keep thinking, musky scent,musky scent. Oh gosh I want Reed and Josh back together! I REALLY want Josh and Reed together. Ughh, why does he have to be such a good person and stay with Ivy?? Josh loves her, it's totally obvious. He jumped in front of a BULLET for her. And I HATEEEE upton, I did the whole time. Probably because I was still in Josh mode. I'm so glad there's going to be another one. Thanks, Kate!!

Posted by Niya on March 29, 2009 at 04:16 PM EDT #

I think that Josh and Reed should get back together. That's only why I read the books because of them together. So please make them start dating again. Thank you, Oogabelly Yllebagoo

Posted by Oogabelly Yllebagoo on March 29, 2009 at 08:49 PM EDT #

Hey KB! I love the private novels a ton! Is there any way you could post the first chapter of Suspicion just to tide all of us over until Sept.? Or maybe the synopsis for it? That'd be awesome and give me something to cling to for the next 6 months! And I think we all agree!

hey kaite, I was just wondering if you were thinking about maybe making a movie out of your books? I think that it would be a hit with all the drama and scandles in the story line. i cant wait till suspicion comes out.

Posted by tori on March 30, 2009 at 04:32 PM EDT #

Hello Kate, I read ever book so far I hope after suspicion you'll kepp doing the Private Series I love all the books, after I read "Paradise Lost" I thought Reed was a goner, but th en I rmembered they was not that far from shore...Thank Goodness....Can't wait to read "Suspicion".Right now Im trying to finish reading your 1st book of the Priveleged series. I hope the Private Series become a movie. I hope Reed ends up with Josh or Upton..Upton needs to work on not flirting so much though... P.S. Please Keep writing the Private series after "Suspicion",I Love this series. Looking forward to Reading your next book of both the "Private" & the "Priveleged" series...Laytah. :-)

Posted by Gloria on March 30, 2009 at 05:57 PM EDT #

i agree with simone on the movie or t.v. show idea. i have the images of what the characters look like in my head, and i don't want that ruined. but keep the books coming for sure kate!!!! and i really want you to post the first chapter of suspicion soon... heck, maybe even the first chapter of beautiful disaster soon. (since that comes out in only a few months) thanks for writing, and never stop!

Hey Kate =) I just finished Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowen Boys and I was just wondering if there's a sequel coming out for that because it was so awesome! I really would like to know what's gonna happen to Finn and Megan, they just seem so perfect together, yet the main problem are the parents. Hope you think about it! Thanks!

Posted by Betty on March 30, 2009 at 10:40 PM EDT #

Omg! I can NOT wait until Sept. 1st!! I LOVE these books!! But Reed and Josh HAVE to get back together and have their first time!!! THATS MY FAVORITE part of the books...Reed and Josh!! THEY HAVE TO GET BACK TOGETHER PLEAASEEE!! LOVE YOUR BOOKS! =]

Posted by amanda on March 30, 2009 at 11:13 PM EDT #

I WANT JOSH AND REED TOGETHER! Can't wait for Suspicion. My sister and I are both reading the books(I've read all of them+Last Christmas+Privilege twice), and we realized that in one book, you call Hell Hall "Hale Hall" and then in another you call it "Hull Hall". That's all I wanted to say. haha. :)

Posted by Sarah on March 31, 2009 at 09:50 AM EDT #

dear private fans, im a little confused and im wondering if you can help me. is there a book that continues after paradise lost? besides last christmas. if not do you know when the next book will come out? please help.

Posted by Abby Tinoco on March 31, 2009 at 08:34 PM EDT #

hi. just wanna say im a big fan! i read these books in a day. i agree with belmaa, they should make these books movies or a series. that would be awesome. i seriously cant wait til setember 1st!!!!

Posted by kimi on March 31, 2009 at 09:48 PM EDT #

PLEASE don't let Upton leave Reed for Poppy!!! I always loved Josh, but I love Upton so much more! Upton and Reed are so perfect for each other and I will be so brokenhearted if Upton leaves Reed =( `

Posted by Ashley Fowler on April 01, 2009 at 01:04 AM EDT #

I absolutely loved Paradise Lost! I can't wait for the next book, I hope that turns out to be okay! I was shocked that the book ended so tragically once again, I really want to know what happens next! Reed should get back together with Josh, they were obviously made for each other! Thanks for the great books Kate!

I am doing a project on Private and need to get a poll of people's favourite characters. Can you go to this site and answer? http://www.polldaddy.com/p/1508942/

Posted by Kelsey on April 01, 2009 at 02:14 PM EDT #

hi i hope this works i m new here but i luv ur books the only disappointing part is wen they end bcuz u r hanging and ur just like omg wat is going to happen next

Posted by Noel on April 01, 2009 at 06:52 PM EDT #

Hi! Well ate your book rock and I have to agree Chanel. Josh and Reed are made for eachother. And every1 who do u think pushed Reed. I thnk it may have been someone like Taylor because it usually is the most unlikely person. And you would think it was Poppy but I don't know.

Posted by Katerocks on April 01, 2009 at 06:56 PM EDT #

OMG the clique books are like wayyy better than this emo series and da best part isss....IM THE ALPHA OF THE CLIQUE!! i'm Massie!!! wow i'm sooo popular no1 can EVER catch up to moi!!!!!

Posted by Massie Block on April 01, 2009 at 09:02 PM EDT #

Hey!!! I totally can't wait for Suspicion or whatever it is but I have a question, is it going to be a sequal to Private or Privilege???!!!

Posted by Kim on April 01, 2009 at 10:09 PM EDT #

okay so this is MY prediction and its wicked goood. I think that Mrs. whats her face hates Reed so much because she had an afair WITH Upton so thats y she like hates her so much and gives her durty looks. And I think she was the one who pushed Reed. Dude I'm sooo good :)

Posted by May on April 01, 2009 at 10:53 PM EDT #

okay well... you most definatly need couples!!!!!!!!!! noelle and dash and maybe reed with josh and upton together, but having guys in the picture would make it sooo cool.

Posted by allison on April 02, 2009 at 03:19 PM EDT #

What can you tell us about suspition and Beautiful Disaster? Need to know something, PLEASE!!!

Posted by Melissa G. on April 02, 2009 at 06:44 PM EDT #

thats a really long time to wait!!!!! ahhhh! i recomed this site gets message boards so we can chat about private serise, and write our own stuff!!! :) also, in SUSPICION i think that reid and upton should stay together, and ha this is going to sound weird but you kinda need to finish the <3 scence. im just sayingggg. you left us hanging!! and how does reid get up from getting pushed off the yacht?? ahhhhhhh, im counting down the days till September 1st!!!!!

Posted by syd on April 03, 2009 at 04:27 PM EDT #

I love Reed and Upton together!! I never really liked Josh to begin with. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. I just finished it and this cliff hanger is already driving me CRAZY!!!!! September 1 please hurry up!

Posted by Samantha on April 03, 2009 at 06:10 PM EDT #

i love your books! i think you should keep it up for ever b/c you are an amazing writer. i hope that there will be a book after the next in private!!!!

Posted by ana on April 03, 2009 at 10:52 PM EDT #

aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't wait for the next book to come out i just finished reading all the private books. just don't let reed die, and i think josh and reed are better than Upton and reed personally but i could care less as long reed doesn't die.

Posted by Dana on April 04, 2009 at 01:25 PM EDT #

ok...... i was soo upset when josh and reed did not get back together. they need to get back together..and Reed cannot die. so for the next book, reed and josh back together (who cares about the girl that josh was with) and reed doesnt die.

Posted by Tara on April 04, 2009 at 04:37 PM EDT #

Hey hi! LOVE the books! I can't wait for the next one! Must be even MORE amazing then the last! I am SO glad Beautiful Disaster is coming out in June. Impossible to wait THAT long for the next one... Anywho, I recently talked a couple of friends into reading it, they stay up till 1.oo am reading it! I can read one myself in 4 hours! I also love how intense they get towards the middle and then end on a cliff-hanger. I own every single book of yours (except for Last Christmas) and all of my friends are asking me for them. Kinda annoying because when you want to read it, its gone! grrr... lol! Love the books! Keep writing PLEASE!

Posted by May on April 04, 2009 at 09:51 PM EDT #

Kate- your books are my favorite! I rush into the book store every time i KNOW that one is coming out and buy it. When i bought Paradise Lost, i sat in my car for one hour and began reading it until the security guard asked what I was doing, and she just couldnt understand my passion for your books. I ALWAYS finish the nest private book the day I buy it and the leave me wanting more. P.S. you should keep Reed with Upton, its a good change of pace. Can't wait till September first, even if it is a really long ways away :(

Posted by Krystal White on April 04, 2009 at 10:17 PM EDT #

Hey everyone (including Kelsey) I created a poll on who you think pushed reed. Go to the following link http://www.zapavote.com/polls/881 The results should be interesting. Miranda <3

oh i have a fabulous 1 actually u know THE CLIQUE BOOKS!!! oh wait u waste ur life by reading THESE so you'll never get a taste of the glam life, SORRY!!!!!! you should go try to make friends and get a LIFE maisarah they are really fun!! what kind of loser name is maisarah anyways woooowww i feel bad for u lbr!!

Posted by Massie Block on April 05, 2009 at 10:06 AM EDT #

I LOVED PL. I think it might've been somebody predictable. After all, the others have been VERY unpredictable...so maybe Kate wants us to think someone who WAS predictable. AND HEY MASSIE: if you think we're such losers, why the hell are you talking to us?

Posted by Amanda on April 05, 2009 at 11:01 AM EDT #

This is hands down the best book series i have ever read!Can't wait for suspicion! I hope it solves alot of unanswered questions for Reed. And hopefully there are more books to come!I'm not sure if Reed should stay with Upton. He was a player at one point, and who knows if he will still be one or if he can actually change. Upton even left to go after Poppy, which shows he still cares about her and would ignore Reed in a time like that.Reed should not fall for this guy.I don't want Reed to get hurt. Who would push Reed off the boat? There are so many suspects. Also who has been doing those insane pranks on Reed? For example the JetSki that wouldnt stop, and the dead bird in her room?? We need answers! Josh must be blind to see that Reed still cares about him. Josh is lame for staying with Ivy.Ivy can go and be with someone else (who really cares) just as long Reed is happy in the end. -I'm going to count down the days until suspicion! THANK YOU!

Posted by Jessica on April 05, 2009 at 12:11 PM EDT #

I bet it might even be Upton, or Sawyer, or one of Poppy's loser friends. I mean who knows with these books. one thing you need to know, EXPECT the UNEXPECTED. and what up with this loser Massie wannabe chick? a bit pathetic if you ask me.

Posted by Paige on April 05, 2009 at 01:29 PM EDT #

Posted by Massie Block on April 05, 2009 at 06:40 PM EDT #

AH! Today I bought Last Christmas and Privilege, I finished both of them! I thought the series was done when Reed died, I'm so majorly stoked for another one to come out! Also, If you did make a movie.. I used to read the clique books and the movie ruined them for me. Because this dumb face the actress was making the whole time, silly but whatever. If you made a movie it would have to be PERF.. But I love love love these books im obsessed, alsooo - the avatars, I was really hoping for names because I always try to think who's who.. Any Help?

anyways, i just wrote a comment with my name as anna jane, it came up as Massie Block.... Why?

Posted by AnnaJane on April 06, 2009 at 02:09 AM EDT #

Hey Kate! :) I've followed private for a very long time, and haven't really gotten around to commenting yet. I really love the series, and am on the edge of my seat waiting for Suspicion. I'm fairly certain that Reed does not die in Paradise Lost, due to Gage saying that Reed's like a cat with the way she has 9 lives. Haha, anyway, keep up the good work Kate! We are all here to support you and say that we love you and the books! :)

Kate- I cannont wait for Suspicion! I hope you post the first chapter online because it's killing me. I hope Josh and Reed get back together, but I also hope their is a little bit of drama between Reed, Upton, Poppy, Josh, and Ivy. Oh! And of course trying to figure out who pushed Reed. Keep Writing! You're doing an amazing job! - Hailey

Posted by Hailey on April 06, 2009 at 05:53 PM EDT #

Hey. I think this might be in the back of everyone's mind but maybe I'm wrong. Unless I missed something, what is with Noelle's scar?

Posted by Miranda on April 06, 2009 at 05:59 PM EDT #

that was exactly what i was thinking!!! i hope the answer to about the scar is in suspicion!

Posted by abcd on April 06, 2009 at 09:39 PM EDT #

OH MY GOSH. I just spent two hours reading paradise lost and AGGG. You always leave us hanging with those endings! I think it's Mrs.Ryan who pushed Reed! I can't believe you're making us wait this long, atleast possibly, release the first chapter during summer or something? So we're not biting our nails for another 5 months! -cry- ah so stinking suspenseful.

Posted by Emma on April 06, 2009 at 11:16 PM EDT #

Wait a second! (Sorry for two posts in a row?) Anyone else notice how the girl in the green dress on the cover of Paradise lost looks kinda of like the 'New' Ariana on the following page: http://www.privatenovels.com/privilege.vm. WOW.

Posted by Emma on April 06, 2009 at 11:18 PM EDT #

KATE BRIAN I THINK YOU SHOULD WRITE A SEQUAL TO MEAGHAN MEADES GUIDE TO THE MCGOWAN BOYS BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY GOOD BOOK AND I WANNA KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN BEETWEEN FINN AND MEAGAN AND WHAT EVANS GONNA DO ABOUT IT AND PLEASE PLEASE MILLION TIMES PLEASE WRITE A SEQUAL IM DESPRETE FROM YOU BIGGEST NUMBER 1 FAN MAGGIE

Posted by Maggie on April 07, 2009 at 10:57 AM EDT #

Omg Kate im in luvv vwith the private series. like i luved twilight books, but urs in my opinion are soooooooo much better! In revalation i totally did not expect sabine to be Arianas sister!! and she frekin shot reed!! totally wasnt expecting that. and i really want josh and reed to get back togaether, and for reed to be back in billings. o and is paridise lost the next book after revelation? cuz i cant figure that out... haha im blonde. but anyways luv luv luv your books. well tt4n

Posted by Morgan on April 07, 2009 at 12:07 PM EDT #

Hey Kate, love your books.So whats the deal with Josh and his eyes? I mean in one part of the books you say they are Green and in the other you say they are blue. So I was just wondering What color are Josh's eyes anyway? Thanks for all the time you have spent on your books they are the best!!!! Hope you keep writing forever!

Posted by Tia on April 07, 2009 at 02:23 PM EDT #

hey kate i just wanted to say that i looove you're books i think they are awesom and after reading the last comment i would also like to know what color are josh eyes.. i cant wait until semptember to know what happens, could you at least post the first chapter? that would be amazing and i think we would all apreciate it ... i love upton! i hope he realizes reed isnt in the party and he´ll go looking for her and he will see her falling into the oscean and he will jump right next to her :d.. okeii i get its a bit imaginative isnt it? haha well i just wish reed is fine and that they catch the person who did this to her .. and finlly she and upton can have a nice relaxing vacation with no more drama ( for a while haha)

Posted by rachel on April 07, 2009 at 03:57 PM EDT #

I hope noelle finds out who does this to reed and knocks the shit out of them i also love upton and reed but he seems TOO perfect....also i thought sawyer was gonna be with reed i think mrs.ryan pushed reed becuz maybe shes having an affair with upton and revenge for ariana since she use to date her son ... or upton pushed reed becuz its too much of a coidence he was always there for all of the bad things happening to reed .... or sawyer/graham becuz both had a sister who died drowning and now reed is pushed and possible drown too? too much cocidence .. and thts what i think

Posted by Evelyn on April 07, 2009 at 04:45 PM EDT #

Kate Brian- i LOVE your books and when i finished reading Paradise Lost i loved it! my opinion on Upton isn't that great i don't like Upton and Reed if he loved her he would have stayed with her during the party but he ran after Poppy so he obvisily still cares about her. I love josh all the way! you can tell Reed and Josh love each other still and they are perfect for eachother and need eachother and Josh needs to dump Ivy and get with Reed and Ivy should get with Upton it is a little twist which you tend to do a lot in your books :D! please don't kill off read because killing her is like killing the whole series to me kind of like king kong when he dies at the end it ruined the movie for me. please read my comment and consider on these thoughts of mine! BY THE WAY GREAT WORK ON THE SERIES AND KEEP THE GREAT WORK UP! and could you please post the first chapter of Suspicion on here so we can get a lead into the book? -Mackenzie

Posted by Mackenzie on April 07, 2009 at 04:49 PM EDT #

Ok so your books are amazing! and I can not wait until suspicion. First of all I have to figure out if Reed is dead or not! I'm a little scared to find out and I want Reed and Josh to get back to together!! I love Josh Hollis! I like Thomas at first but tehn after everything that happened with him I started to think he was to much of a player for Reed and the drug dealer thing was very unexpected and untrustworthy....but anyway as much as I love Upton Giles and as amazing and hot as he sounds! :) Josh was so great! I defintely don't blame him for leaving Reed after the legacy thing but Sabine is the one who did it! and she messed with reed and dash! that was so suprising!! but Josh was so caring and nice and always forgave Reed about everything! Reed defintely messed that up but I love those two together!! They were amazing! so i really do hope they get back together and Noelle and her get as close as they really used to be again! but anyway thanks for writing all these books and last christmas is on my desk right now because im reading it and it is so suprising but thanks for everything!! your books are amazing!!

Posted by Cambri on April 07, 2009 at 05:57 PM EDT #

hey, so for the e-cards and backgrounds, DEFINITELY gets some of the guys from Private... i would keep them as my background for life. Upton, Josh, Thomas, all of the guys... i would love you forever. --that would actually be amazing. and i would send them to my friends and be like, "yeah, look how awesome these books are... read them!" im not kidding, i got some of my other friends to read them, but if i showed them to my other friends, guarantee they will read it. what can i sar, teenage girls like looking at good looking guys... its a known fact.

Posted by Megan on April 07, 2009 at 08:48 PM EDT #

hi kate!!!! <3 i LOVE your books!!! i think that in Suspicion Reed and JOsh should get back together!! screw Ivy, even though shes nice, but Reed and Josh BELONG together!!!! i beg you with ALL of my heart to post the first chapter of Suspicion!!! i think if i wait 5-6 months i will acctualy seriously die!! i have NO idea who pushed Reed in but i personaly think it was one of the guys because of teh scent even though i am totally not sure! i am in love with your books i really hope you continue writing them!!!!

Posted by Hannah on April 07, 2009 at 11:05 PM EDT #

heyy ive just finished ambition and im waiting for revelation to get delivered. loads of people have told me that josh and reed dont get back together in paradise lost but they're perfect for each other!!!!!! <3 also MIRANDA: ive been thinking the same thing about NOelle's scar. by the way, since basically everyones already read revelation, please could you post the first few chapters on here. thankyou and please carry on writing these awsome books!!!!!\ <3 abbie-lynn

Posted by Abbie-lynn on April 08, 2009 at 08:46 AM EDT #

Could u pleeeezzz write another blog, or even better, post the first chapter of Beautiful Disaster or Suspicion!! I dont think i can last till september. And ive also been wondering how noelle got that scar, does it have a meaning and a mysterious story to it or is it just a symbol that shows that noelle isnt as perfect as she seems?? Im addicted to these books, lol!! Never stop writing, kate! Reed and Josh<333

Posted by Kerri on April 08, 2009 at 12:24 PM EDT #

I dislike Upton so much!! I know he was messing with her the whole time. Like how can he explain leaving her like that? grrr and Poppy, I know she did it! I mean who else could have!? Maybe Sienna but I don't know. I do not want to wait until September!!! haha

Who is stalking Reed again? Keep writing and NEVER stop the books are ahmazing! Btw what is up with Noelle's weird scar?

I love Josh! I like him because he's so sweet and really understands Reed! Did something happen with him and the Billings girls before Reed came? They should totally go to the same college! Please make Ivy better, I know I shouldn't but love her when she's nice! Please read my comments! On the Avatars you should write down the name of the characters cause I don't know which is which. Please make Noelle totally forgive Reed, I don't care i she gets back with Dash. I'm gonna miss all the seniors so much when they graduate they should make Reed get into college one year early! Keep posting! Love ya, Rachel

Kate? have you like fallen off the face of the cyber earth? or earth it's self?

Posted by Beth on April 10, 2009 at 06:50 PM EDT #

for the person who asked about what book came after last christmas..its the prequel to the whole series so all the books come after. And the question about why privilege is in summer, and private is at christmas time is because privilege is ahead in time. Kate wrote about it in a previous blog. Hope that answers the questions

hey! i love your books! i read them in pretty much a day! well i am very excited about suspicion,but i wish it came out sooner...well you are an amazing writer! im dying to know who is trying to kill reed now. Did ariana go to the island or is it one of the ryans? i guess i will have to wait. you do a really good job with describing reeds boyfriends, im practically in love with all of them (dead or alive:)) thanks for all of the great books. bye kate! oh and just curious why does your sister love you for writing paradise lost?

Posted by Jessica! :) on April 11, 2009 at 11:39 AM EDT #

ithink i know who pushed reed! :D in the book its say Mrs Ryan went upstairs and so did Poppy when she ran away crying. Reed also went upstairs (hint...hint...clue)but the thing that trew me off was that the book said quote i smelt an odd husky smell before i could turn around to see where the smell was coming from end quote and that was where reed was pushed in and the husky scent was the scent Ivy Slade wears. you can find this info out in revelation when Reed was in Ivy's room snooping and hid in the closet when ivy came in to grab something and Reed choked on the Husky scent that Ivy wore...so those three are my main suspects please comment on any clues you guys have found out or any intresting info thanks -Mackenzie

Posted by Rachel E. on April 11, 2009 at 05:42 PM EDT #

Posted by Hotbabe on April 12, 2009 at 04:59 PM EDT #

HELLO!!! I love the books!!! You should TOTALLY make the book into a movie. TRUST ME it would be like the "Best Movie of the Year" FOR SURE! PLEASEE!!!!!! I would make a great SABINE. i absoulty adore her character, and i match her description completly! Also i love acting, and im pretty darn good at it too. haha! I'm not asking you to make a movie, so that i can act in it. NO WAY. But i KNOW it would be unbelievbly breath-taking, just like the book. When you makae the movie, quote me as the girl that envisioned it as the best movie EVER! haha.

Posted by Kiki Okpala on April 12, 2009 at 07:19 PM EDT #

kate ive got a question in privalege they only mention one time that sabine is arianas sister only when shes googoling herself and says about the article about sabine but bisides that they dont mention sabine at all, and contradicts like the mom saying ariana is her only daughter and in the funeral she doesnt even appear or arianas not care about sabine not showing up, i really want to know where the hell sabine comes from and hoow is she really ariaanas sister? and another question the funerall fits with the private books when, when does it suuppose to be happenind, paradise lost? i really apriciate if you would answer my questions or a lot of questions everybodys asking... thnks a lot .. xoxo

I read Paradise Lost a while ago and I finally have time to comment about it. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was still a very good book, but I expected more from it. I wish Josh was in it for more than the first few pages. I was REALLY looking forward to more Josh/Reed interaction! Anyways, I can't wait for Suspicion. Your cliffhangers get me every time. Keep up the good work Kate!

Posted by Courtney on April 12, 2009 at 10:40 PM EDT #

Kate, your books are really really good. I've read some of your other books but the private series is your best work! I am so confused! I just finished reading paradise lost and I want to know who pushed he and f she's alive because from what my friends told me privledged is in arianas perspective and they don't know the answers to my questions! I have to know!

Posted by Ashley Davidson on April 12, 2009 at 11:50 PM EDT #

When r u going to add a new entry. I am dying to here about the next book in the private series!

Hey Kate iread pl but was sad cause josh and reed didn't get back togther but anyway private is my fav series it's even better than twilight so please make a movie or tv show of it and megan that's amazing that you noticed the Braslet thingy well any way massie wateva I now your way up but you crack me up your so stupid you don't even seem like you ever reed the book lol U seem like a click wanabee how has a sad life and want people she dosent now to think she's all that ahh I remeber a girl like that nobody talk to her for months she was so mean well I'm not joking it's true her name was jaid little A-hole she was by

Posted by Mini on April 13, 2009 at 11:33 AM EDT #

I think a TV or movie would kind of ruin the books...just like 99%, it's always worse.. And megan, i noticed it also! paradise lost left me hanging. maybe since it's always the unexpected, kate wants us to think its someone obvious. or something like that. and massie's just trying to boost up her non-existent self esteem. massie if u hav a life then y dont u stop commenting on private?

Posted by Vicky on April 13, 2009 at 08:15 PM EDT #

I am a huge fan of the Private series!! I can't wait to be able to read Suspision. Can't wait. But I have a question... is they ever going to make Private into a movie?? That would definatley be a huge seller, i know over 50 people who love Private and would love to see a movie on it!! Just curious. Love Private and all of your other books!!

Posted by Kayla on April 14, 2009 at 06:42 PM EDT #

Josh and Reed need to get back together. Upton Giles is obviosly a player, and if I were reed i would never get back with him, obviosly he's hooked up with almost all the ohter girls and he just left reed instead of staying to comfort her. Josh sure is all with ivy but those two were so cute together! I loved it. Can't wait for the rest of these books! Never stop writing 'em! they are one of my favorite book series!!

Posted by Kayla on April 14, 2009 at 06:57 PM EDT #

Hey Kate!Ijust love this naughty little series you got goin here.I like to leave you with some ideas for your next book. Well first of all I think I would like to bring Upton Giles back.Ok well I want Mr. Hathaway to become the Dean. So when Reed gets back to Easton she agrees to be friends with Ivy so she could also be friends with Josh.So ok Josh, Ivy, and Reed are friends so they start hanging around the Billings table at meal time.Omigod Upton makes a surprise visit and Upton and Reed pick off where they left off on the boat before she got thron off. So Josh gets jealous.Reed is madly in love with this past player but deep inside she has feelings for Josh still.she'll have to choose one. from there on you figure out the rest. hope you put some of my ideas in your book. Love Marissa your numero uno fan

Posted by Marissa on April 14, 2009 at 10:27 PM EDT #

Hey its me again Marissa!Above on my other comment I mentioned some ideas for your book. Well I would like to tell you one of my ideas its the idea when Upton shows up at Easton.Well this is going to be in a little chapter its not going to be the whole chapter just that seen.So well if you deside to use it you can clean up spelling,grammer, and more things. Down below is the seen so enjoy thanks. Love your numer uno fan which is me Marissa

Posted by Marissa on April 15, 2009 at 02:18 AM EDT #

My hair flew back from my face as I walked out the door of Billings, the wind almost knocking me back inside.My semi messy hair returned to my face for I couldn't do much with it I had to meet Josh in the caf in a few minutes.I started across the wet quad,just him telling me that he wanted to talk to me alone gave me butterflys what did he want to talk about.I touched my stomach lightly those things wouldn't stop moving would they.Did he still love me, thinking back to when we were back at the hospital.Qickly my mind swicthed to Upton remebering when he told me he loved me.I shedded a few tears. Before I knew it I was in front of the cafatiera doors.Breath.In.Out.Then I pushed the door open.There sitting at the Billings table with a sly happy grin that strechted arcoss his face.Was Josh.I walked over to the table not bothering to grab myself a tray of food. I pulled out a chair in front of him and slowly sat down."Not hungry."he said in a joking tone."No," I responed.Then all a sudden he got all serious.I could see it in his eyes he came here to settle things."Um.......Reed I wanted to talk to you well mostly about,well us."he said."Well that is what I was wondering about to."I said a blush arriving at the same time.There was pause in that moment that the cafateria was filled with people.Hearing the door open and close."Well Reed I was hoping we could still be frinds you know hand out be friends talk,"he said in such a sweet tone.Wait cut it out Reed this is a serious conversation.I opened my moth to say something."I know you and Ivy aren't the bestest of friends but I would like it if you would at least you know."he said he sounded kind of worried.Gulp.Friends with Ivy I know we have been partners trying to figure out who are stalker was and figure out who killed Cheyenne.Someone came threw the doors.Soon the caf was filled with whispers.I ignored it."You know your right, I'll go talk to her right now."I said standing up at the same time.I turned to go, then I stopped."Reed thank you." he said.I nodded.I smiled at him.Then a warm big hand was on my shoulder.It spun around,I stared into his brown eyes.Then he pulled me to him and kissed me.His tounge was fimilar and his brown eyes could could it be.I pushed away it was him it was Upton.He oulled me into his arms."Oh, Reed I missed you so much."he said in his british accent.He kissed the top of my forhead.Then he kissed me on the lips again when he pulled away I couldn't stop looking at him.I couldn;t belieave he was here."Upton, how did you get here and..."I said before he cut me off.When I looked over Upton's shoulder standing behind him just coming out of the lunch line were Nolle and Tiffany.They were just as surprised as me.Upton traced to where I was looking at.He smiled.He slung his arm over my shoulders and dragged me to Nolle and Tiffany. Ok so thats it I tired my best there is noway your going to take on my idea so but im going to try.so thanks i love your books keep writing thanks for reading. Love, Marissa your numero uno fan

Posted by Marissa on April 15, 2009 at 02:20 AM EDT #

Posted by Marissa on April 15, 2009 at 02:36 PM EDT #

OMG!!!!!!!! I luv the Private series. They are sooooooo good!!!!!! Its one of my fav series which includes twilight and the clique. I can't beleive I have to wait till september 1st!!! That is hella long!! PLEASE leave like the 1st chapter of suspicion cuz that cliff hanger you left off on in Paradise Lost has got me going crazy. You should totally make this into a movie, but not until after you finish the series. I totaly LOVED Josh and I was soo disappointed when they didn't get bac together. I was like "WHAT!!!" They NEED to get back together. I started to like Upton more than Josh but then after wat he did at the end of paradise lost I was like " O hell no! Wat a jerk." Josh and Reed belong together. One last thing I read your book Meagan Meades guide to....and it was soooo good. Except I was disappointed in the ending. You should make a sequel cuz it was super good. Private is the best!!!!

Posted by Sexy Lady on April 15, 2009 at 03:14 PM EDT #

KATE I <3 UR BOOKS ND I THINK THE E CARDS AND BACKROUNDS LOOK GREAT. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU LOL. (idk if u already answer some them) 1. How come Ariana didn't talk about Sabine in Last Christmas or Privelage? 2. Will you ever do a move...wait a tv series? 3. If you do a movie/tv series CAN JESSE MCCARTNEY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLAY JOSH!!!!! 4. FOR THE NEXT COVER OF YOUR BOOK CAN ONE OF THE MODELS BE A CELEBRITY.......? 5.WHATS UP WITH THE SCANDAL FOR NOELLE??

Posted by Exceptionally Mimie on April 15, 2009 at 04:34 PM EDT #

omg!! who do you think pushed reed off the boat?! i have a few people in mind. 1)Poppy. duh she totally wants Upton. who wouldnt! and she totally went and balled when she walked in on upton and reed. 2)Paige. obsessed with winning the upton game, as well as upton. 3)Sienna. also obsessed with the upton game, as well as upton. 4)Amberly. she follows people. and she doesnt want to have to share with room with reed at billings. 5)ms. ryan. hates reed with all her guts. and she walked in on upton and reed having sex. 6)finally...Upton Giles. hard to say but it kinda seemed to me like he was using her. just a teeny tad bit. i mean he left her in a room all by herself right after they were about to have sex. and what makes it worse if he went after Poppy. yes there friends but she is totally obsessed with the dude. like ariana obsessed. and no one wants another ariana. also the book never said that she hit the water. there could be a deck under neath and she could fall on that. hopefully there is a deck under neath. reed cant have another near death experience.

Posted by jeelow on April 15, 2009 at 08:26 PM EDT #

who do you think pushed reed off the boat. ive got a few ideas. 1)Poppy 2)Paige 3)Sienna 4) Amberly 5)Ms. Ryan 6)(i really hate to say this) Upton. p.s. there might of been a deck underneath her. hopefully there was a deck. and she could of landed on that. i hate cliff hangers with a passion.

i love this series and can not get enough. i was not for sure if there was going to be one after paradise lost because i could not find ANY information on it but apparently its called suspicion and i can not wait! there is so many people that could have pushed her but who would do that?! cant wait!!

Posted by ladudger on April 15, 2009 at 11:43 PM EDT #

WOW MACKENZIE! Your smart!...Its hard to guess who pushed her, because yerr right about the 3 main suspects,,,lol...YERR SMART!

WOW MARISSA! YERR TALENTED!...I GOT GOOSE BUMPS OF WHAT MITE HAPPNE...BUT THEN AGAIN,,,THATS NOT KATE BRIAN,,,NO OFFENSE,,,BUT STILL IT WAS REALLY GOOD! (:

Posted by Alyn? on April 16, 2009 at 04:22 PM EDT #

hi Kate Is there going to be another book in the private series after Paradise Lost? dying to know if and when :)

Posted by Tracy on April 16, 2009 at 04:24 PM EDT #

WOW KATE! you keep up the good work!...me and my friends made a club about private series lovers...and we got over 200 people in our club from my city!...and over half of us want a tv series...and if there is a tv series we all want it to be like 1 and a half show bcuz of all the books there are in one semester..so yeah... :) ...we will always read your books kate! NEVER STOP WRITING! ?

Posted by Alyn? on April 16, 2009 at 04:29 PM EDT #

Jeelow: There was no deck. In PL it said "Before I hit the water..." Also, Mackenzie, it's musky, not husky. Sorry that was just bugging me. But I don't think it could've been Ivy considering she was off campus when Noelle asked Reed to come to St. Bart's and back to Billings. I have to say it was Taylor, cause she wanted to win the Upton game soo badly. Maybe she's crazy too.

Posted by Vicky on April 16, 2009 at 04:59 PM EDT #

Oh my gosh, you do not know how excited I am to know you're doing Suspicion! My friends and I all read them, and we thought this one was the last one and we were freaking out at the end because we knew you couldn't leave it hanging like that!!! I really like Upton, and I hope he isn't going anywhere! And the nickname Hurrican Reed is pretty cool, even though it's not suppose to be good or anything! But Keep Writing!!!

Posted by Ashleigh Tatroe on April 16, 2009 at 07:53 PM EDT #

seriously mackenzie. no one would of thought of that. but that is true. i remember it. but how could ivy get on the boat. does she have blonde hair? and they were just beginning to become friends. she lost alot of blood from the shot so i dont think she could recover that quickly. plus josh would at least tell reed something right? btw y hasnt josh called/texted reed. anyone have any ideas?

Posted by jeelow on April 16, 2009 at 07:59 PM EDT #

tracy - there is another book. suspicion. and it comes out sometime in september.

Posted by jeelow on April 16, 2009 at 08:00 PM EDT #

At the begin of paradise lost I liked upton ally but at the end I really didn't I Can't belive that he left her to go talk to poopy an I actully want her and sawyer to get to tether and I think Paige amberly and seinna pushed her of Kate thanks so much for the books I absolutely LOVE them

Posted by Ciara on April 16, 2009 at 08:41 PM EDT #

KATE! I totally agree with 90% of people. Josh+Reed. its perfect. its what poeple want to read. Ilove Josh. he's so amazing and needs reed just like she needs him. Ivy is just an obstacle in my mind. Ithink Josh wont be able to get over Reed and will tell Ivy that he stil loves her. JOSH+REED <JOSH+REED! please?! :] LoveYou!

Posted by Ozzy <3 on April 22, 2009 at 11:19 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! I definately think that you should look into making these books into a movie!!! It would be an amazing movie. I can't wait till the next book! September is soooooo far away though :(

We really want to know if you could give hints of the next book to private. We are going crazy trying to figure out who did this to Reed!!! She can't die! lol we never ever want these books to end. they're amazing. We got all our friends to read it and we all talk about it. we even want to re-read them. Reed needs a new boyfriend, whether its Upton, Josh, or a new person...plz. We love you and your books - Krizia & Emma

Ok so first things first. I would love to see how others portrayed the charcters. I mean sure theyll change somethings but it would still be awesome to be able to watch the series! I would like to say that i can NOT wait for the next book. That cliffhanger was crazy. However I must say im not that big a fan of pardise Lost. I mean it was amazing, but i really think her not being at easton took awy from the book a lil. Im looking foward to see who pushed reed though. I would love Josh and Reed to betogether but I do kinda like Upton....except for at the end. then he just pissed me off. But seriously Kate your like my favorite author, and I read like constantly! Keep up the amazing writing and please consider making Private into a movie!!!! <3 Love ya, Katie Gardner

ok can I just say that you are like my favorite author! Private is probally the best series I ever read (and Im a Twilight fan!) Your books are just amazing. That cliffhanger was crazy! I cant wait to see what happens. Although I reallly hope she returns to Easton, I think her being away took away from the book alil. However i still LOVED Paradise Lost!!!! You are just great! love ya Kate! Sincerly, Katie!

Posted by Katie on April 30, 2009 at 10:39 AM EDT #

Also PLEASE make this a movie! It would be so great to see how others portrayed the series!

I definitely agree with above (way above). A movie would be fantastic, and it's the perfect kind of book for a movie! I love this series and it's so hard for me to wait until September, but I'll just keep myself occupied with other books until then.

i really really enjoyed all of your books, and due to the fact that i was a little upsessed with them, i think you should start a clothing line for them :) thats a personal idea, - i think you'll get some big sales :) taylor, love your work.

Posted by Taylor on May 02, 2009 at 03:06 PM EDT #

okay so i just finished reading 'Paradise Lost' 2 minutes ago and i am definitely in a state of terrible shock i want to know what happened do Reed? She was left in a devastating state and now she will be the one missing and in trouble for once but i think that it's poppy that choked her and threw her over or someone of her past is about to make a come back. I want to know what happened to Ivy and Josh also because they were like in a passive state the whole time.....im excited and ready for the next book 'Suspicion' to be out all though i have already also started reading the privileged series but i cant wait to see what happens next because we have a fan club at my school and we are all on edge.... WE LOVE YOU KATE BRIAN AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK <3 p.s.- i would hate for this to be made into a movie because it would destroy the imagination of the characters and would not be anyway that people would expect and it would take away from the book series.....i hope that you take that into large consideration thanks

Hey kate! I just wanted to say that your books are absolutly amazing! I love the cliff-hanger at the end of Pardise Lost. i can not wait until September 1st to read the new book. I would really love it if you would put the first chapter up on the internet. I also think you should give us some information on the whole Sabine and Arianna being sisters conflict. THank you so much for writing such a great series. sinceirly, Luna-Laura P.S I'm a real big fan of yours! Nevershoutnever!

Posted by laura luna brierwood on May 05, 2009 at 05:04 PM EDT #

YESSS FINALLY!!! I CANNOT WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER!!!! I HOPE REED AND JOSH GET BACK TOGETHER!!!

Posted by Thea on May 08, 2009 at 08:46 PM EDT #

Can wait for Josh to come back!! I hate Upton and who ever hurt Reed on the ship!!

Posted by Sam on May 11, 2009 at 08:53 PM EDT #

WOW! I just finished Paradise Lost like an hour ago and I flipped out when I was done because I thought it was the final book. I couldn't believe you would end the series like that...so I went straight to the computer to see if you were going to do another book...and bless your heart because you are!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these books! I can't wait to read the Privlige books too! You are truely amazing!!!

Posted by Haley J on May 13, 2009 at 01:37 PM EDT #

i think i know who pushed reed! :D in the book its say Mrs Ryan went upstairs and so did Poppy when she ran away crying. Reed also went upstairs (hint...hint...clue)but the thing that threw me off was that the book said quote i smelt an odd husky smell before i could turn around to see where the smell was coming from end quote and that was where reed was pushed in and the husky scent was the scent Ivy Slade wears. you can find this info out in revelation when Reed was in Ivy's room snooping and hid in the closet when ivy came in to grab something and Reed choked on the Husky scent that Ivy wore...so those three are my main suspects please comment on any clues you guys have found out or any intresting info thanks -Mackenzie

Posted by Mackenzie on May 17, 2009 at 07:43 PM EDT #

ok so after reading everyones comment i had to reply........ I honestly dont like reed:( yea i know that sounds stupid but i was upset to find out that ivey was shot, not her! ok sorry I am so upset that suspension dosent come out till like september but the longer the wait the better the book. Can you just give a hint about who the person was who is hurting reed? i mean me and my friends talked about it and we said it has to be a guy because of the musty smell and you didnt here there high heels or any beads or anything. I personally think that it is Arianas ex. but i dont know and the SUSPENSION is killing me so please spill just a little or at least to me! i can keep a sercret!

Posted by Arianna on May 17, 2009 at 08:43 PM EDT #

wow! Paradise lost was the greatest book!!! I love/hate how it leaves me hanging at the end! i want to keep reading! Can't wait for suspicion! (:

Hey Kate, I CAN NOT WAIT for suspicion! I read like all the books in like a couple weeks. i used to not like to read, but Kate you changed all that! I'm totally pumped for it to come out and for me to get my hands on it. I'm hoping so so so much that Reed and Josh get back together! I mean she got drugged just like Josh! and they obveously were ment for each other. Ooooooooh i just can't wait! and i was wondering, how long are you going to make the Private series?? i hope you keep writing lots of them because i never want it to end. luv, ash

Posted by Ashley on May 21, 2009 at 06:42 PM EDT #

OMG I just finished Paradise Lost yesterday, and I loved it! I can't wait til Suspicion! I felt so sad when Reed's bird died. =[ But other than that, I want Josh to see Reed with Upton so that he could get jealous! LOL! And I really don't like Mrs.Ryan! Ugh.

Posted by Maria on May 30, 2009 at 05:24 PM EDT #

Unfortunately, i couldn't get my hands on the book much earlier bcoz it was very limited. So yea. Anyways, I'm actually dying to ask u about the book Paradise Lost - so what happens to Reed now ?
