Finally!
You don't know what it's like, you really don't. I finished the book, was very happy with it, and then took a few days of doing nothing before starting The End Of The World and some other stuff. And all the while I'd be reading your comments, and the comments on the Forums and Facebook, and smiling because everyone seemed to be looking forward to it so much.
But that was MONTHS ago!
To have to sit here and watch all of you count down the days made me feel so incredibly guilty for putting you through that. But now, finally, the wait is over. It is September 1st. It is Death Bringer day.
The Launch last night in Dublin was manic...! It turned into a marathon signing session, and it had Storm Troopers! STORM TROOPERS! I didn't get a chance to chat to any of the people I know and usually see at launches, because I was staring at the Storm Troopers and then signing books and staring at Boba Fett and signing books...
'Twas a good way to launch Death Bringer, so thank you Eason's bookshop!
And what will I be doing today, you ask? The day of the release? Will I be doing interviews and attending champagne parties? Er... no. I will be cleaning my house. I'm off on tour tomorrow, and as usual Laura will be staying here while I'm gone, so I have to get the place ready for her or she'll glare at me. And you've never been glared at by Laura. It's SCARY.
So all of you who have just bought the book, I hope you like it. The previous blog entry is still the ONLY place you can post spoilers, so don't do that here. And even in the previous entry, try to HINT at the spoilers instead of blurting them out. Because there are SOME people, who will remain nameless, who felt the need to SKIM the spoilers and were dismayed when certain things were spoiled for them... which I actually find hilarious. If you don't want anything spoiled, DO NOT READ THE SPOILER SECTION! Sigh.
Okay, I have a house to clean. And you? You have a book to read.

-appears on blogland...- -looks around for NJ. NJ not here at the moment... DEPRESSED and LEAVES-
Bye Dragona!
Hey Raven!
NO!
GHOST!
poor u! its 2nite were i am...
Brb
hi quinn, srry for slow response, how r u?
anyone on?
DAN! GET YOURSELF BACK ON THE CHAT.
I've gotta go!
Bye!
*sigh* anyone?
*waving* Well I'm here but not for too long.
hi yummy! I assume you got out from the insulated floor? *hi-fives*
Hi legolas, yes out from under floor "yippee" just a few scrapes and bruises but toasty feet!!!!
Yay! I wish my feet were toasty, the weather seems to be getting confused as to what season it is.
Up here in the sunny North East of England (note the sarcasm) it is blooming freezing!!!! Hence the need for extra insulation!!!! Winter gear has never been away this summer. Only nice days seem to be when I'm at work :(.
It's only cold here in the mornings, so I put on thick pants and fuzzy sweaters and such, which I proceed to melt in come afternoon.
*chuckles* oh the joys of the weather. It's my h more preferable to stay inside!! Although today I am dealing with the Tax Man - so not that much fun to be had. Skulduggery book 1 is shouting at me from the settee wanton my attention, which in my humble opinion, I'd quite rude! I am resisting although one more numpty on the phone and that's it Skul will win!!
Morning!
Howdy, I was just about to put the kettle on for a cuppa. Anyone want one? No biscuits I'm afraid kids ate them all!!! *humph*
numpty is my new favorite word. :)
But yes, that is quite rude of him. Didn't even ask to be seated! I would suggest a couple hours of reading him to teach him a proper lesson.
Hi ann! *hugs* Haven't seen you for a while...which may mean a few days, but whatever.
Yeah, last internet payment didn't go through. If we ever checked our account page, we might have noticed before they cut us off. :-P That was a horrible day and a half!
(((Lego)))
Nice to meet you, Yummy! Cuppa coffee? Or tea? Or never mind, I'm going to bed in a bit.
You have children?
Aaarrrggghhhhhh postman has just delivered 'new' tax code. I say it in inverted comments as when I say tax code you may be forgiven in thinking I mean one, but no, they are sooo incompetent I've got three separate letters, all different codings. This means yet another ruddy phonecall!!! Numpty doesn't meet the level of incompetence of these people anymore I will have to think of a more suitable name!
Skul is making himself look even more appealing!! I've also spotted Book 2 on the windowsill! I think he is beginning to take liberties!
hmm...I would take some coffee, perhaps to bathe myself in. I am in great need of random bursts of energy. =p
Ann Marie, nice to meet you to! The morning I'm
Having it's likely to be coffee with a wee nip of something in it. Yes I've got kids - it's the only way to justify still reading childrens' books at my age!
Hmm.
*takes a seat next to Yummy's window*
*eyes book*
Hello there. How are you?
aw...I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about but it sounds annoying.
..It is? Oh, I mean, you're right! Quite right. I only have them to read to the kids... right.
hey everyone
hi raven!
Good morning, Raven!
morning ann, how r u?
hi lego, how r u?
Tax coding in UK is literally a device of Satan!!
Skull says "Hi" and "if you look carefully, you'll see I've infiltrated yummy's house and versions 3-7 can be found lurking in the hallway!"
Ann-Marie, I also have the excuse of needing to keep up with school kids as I teach as well. But hey, some of the best writers are children's writers.
Coffee is made, have sidled up to Skul and snatched him into my arms! Tax man can wait!
hi yummy, nice to meet u
Hi all!

Hi Legolas!
And hi... Yummy?
I don't think we've met. Nice to meet you. ^^ *shakes hand*
Hi Aquila, nice to meet you.
I have to sign off for a bit, school just been on, daughters blood sugar levels have dropped, got to take her food. If you aren't on later, speak soon and nice to chat to you all!
Skul says "shucks, almost had her in my clutches but alas the pull of the child was greater."!!!
Bye Yummy!
*heads over to Aquila's house* Waffles!
Bye Yummy!
I'll leave now, too.
Damn, I'm hungry...
