The Requiem Ball

Ooooh we have such plans for you...

The next few weeks and months are going to be choc-full of announcements and reveals. In a matter of DAYS, for example, you'll be finding out more about this "270914" thing, and after that you'll be getting all kinds of juicy goodness. But TODAY, my Minions, is the day I announce something that has been in my head for YEARS.

I am proud, excited and absolutely delighted to announce that a special, exclusive gathering will take place in London on publication day, August 28th. I give you...

The Requiem Ball.


This is an invitation only get-together — a party, if you will — with 120 places up for grabs in very special competitions for  Ireland and UK readers. You'll get the details of these competitions and other ways to nab yourself an invitation over the next few weeks, so keep an eye on this blog.

But you know I'd never leave the rest of you out of the action COMPLETELY, so we're going to have 250 party packs, jammed full of goodies, ready to send to you so that you can throw your own simultaneous Requiem Ball Parties at home. There'll be loads of stuff to download, whichever far-off country you're in, be it Ame-rica (am I pronouncing that right?) or Burkina Faso (yes, we notice EVERYTHING).

The Requiem Ball is basically my thank you to all of my Minions, for creating such a fun, creative, and frankly down-right crazy community around these books. I want to bring everyone together for one almighty celebration for the final book, and it's going to be EPIC.

(I see. What happens in it?)

(... I see. That was somewhat unexpected. I hope the bazooka was effective?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Bazookas are always effective.

I am rather fond of a weapon named M560 Hydra. It fires eight missiles, each capable of tracking a different target. Each missile has three explosive charges - one deals with the enemy's shields, the second deals with armour and the third explodes inside your target.)

(I own four of them.)

I read Jackie's eulogy to my uncle on facebook... :'(

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

:( I'm sorry.

Jophiel said...

It was so touching and amazing... His daughter meant so much to him... And now he's gone and I constantly feel like crying...

I just don't know what to do...

Jophiel said...

Okay, I dedicate the page a few pages ago to Jackie.

This is her memorial to my uncle.

On Friday the 17th of October I lost my true love.
&
Today I say goodbye.
You filled my life with happiness and my soul with spirit. Positivity radiated from you like sunshine escaping from behind the clouds. You are the most courageous man I know, brave and dignified to the last breath.
Because of you I believe in miracles, I believe in myself and I believe that happiness and love are all you need in life.
I know you will watch over us.
Paul I will love you always and forever.


She has lost a beautiful soul; my uncle.

R.I.P. Paul L.

I can't say it gets easier...but you can learn to live with it..

Jophiel said...

It was easier with my aunt... But no one knew that Paul was going to go so quick...

*Cuddles*

*Sobs*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs tightly* its okay..)

Jophiel said...

The last thing I said to him was 'I'll see ya when I see ya'...

I feel horrible. The look on his face when I said that...

Chione Asahina said...

*hugs Rose*

Jophiel said...

*Cuddles Loki tightly*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*keeps her close* Do you want to talk about what is troubling you?

Jophiel said...

My author, her uncle's funeral was today. She's really upset. She has a picture of him beside her bed and she can't look at him without crying...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ah. I see, that is something hard. Tell her to think of the good times she had with him, and think of just that, it usually helps. I could not stop thinking about Frigga....*trails off*

Jophiel said...

The last thing she said to him was 'I'll see ya when I see ya' and his face was so horrified... She never saw him smile again...

Aw, shit... She's crying again...

Jophiel said...

Also, this whole Islamic State thing is destroying her mind...

*Cries*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will continue to be here.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Tell her that despite his death, remembering him as he was alive helps, and crying will help too because the sooner you get it all out the better.

Jophiel said...

Sleep...

I don't sleep during the day. But I did. Right beside a window...

I think I'll be sleeping now and crying and sleeping again...

Bye...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Goodbye, Rose. I hope you are alright.)

Jophiel said...

I'm not, Sophia.

*Leaves*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I see. I hope you recover soon, in which case.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will continue to be here.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sorry would have come sooner but today was everything I did wrong in my very being day.-Zaf

Thanks for trying!!
*huggles*
You're amazing!
*leaves*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I tried so hard, and got so far...

*huggy Duggy*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

No, I mean you're amazing!!! Nothing to do with the next page.

But it's quite helpful when people do that cause at school the WiFi blocks the blog but it doesn't block the comments so when a page runs out I can't get to the next one.

And what's wrong Tia?
*continues hugging*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

What isn't? I'm just trying to convince myself that everything is ok.

In other news, Imperfect Sword, which I first heard about today, is out, so I might read it soon.

How are you Dugglyn?
