On August 26th, just twelve short days away, we will be kicking off the tour with a NEW, special event in Waterstones in Hampstead. Apart from the fact that you'll be able to snag a copy of Demon Road a day ahead of its release (you'll even be able to snag one of the limited Platinum editions), and for a full TWO POUNDS off, we'll also have goodies to give out on the night, I'll be yammering on about writing or some such nonsense, and then I'll be signing whatever you want me to sign.
Reserve tickets in store or on www.waterstones.com/events.
This is IMPORTANT, and it applies to all of the signings and events — I will sign WHATEVER you bring. I don't care what the book is (so long as I've, y'know, actually written it) and I don't care how many are in your bag. If someone, at whatever signing you turn up to, tells you I'm only going to sign books you buy in their store, let me know and I'll sort it out. That rarely happens anymore, but some staff members are over-eager. Obviously time is sometimes an issue, so if the queue is long as I have to jet off to the next signing, we'll impose some limitations — but that's always a last resort.
Demon Road is coming...

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 4988 Newer› Newest»sophia: It's in my veins to prove my point. Very hard for me to stop, keep in mind. Because i do think i genuinely have a point whenever i start arguing, and i just want people to understand.
@Fera: I don't think it's the 'making a point' that people object to.
Mark: Yes. Definitely.
Alright Cat's hallucinating again.
*sighs*
She's not roleplayed in too long.
star: maybe not, but I cannot word it nicer. also i ded to nothing cuz i have nothing to fucking say.
(I'm not an excuse but when I turn up the heat a little to get noticed, I still went unnoticed so I went half burner ... Con is a part of me too ... my psychopathic side... which very much does exist... I come up with terrible things sometimes... and I had to express them there so they not become real things that I feel like doing to either myself or others...)
Clocky; yay!
@Fera: *sighs* It's not the wording of finding your points that peopel much object to, either.
Also, when I can't phrase things nicely I apologise over and over at the aggressive phrasing so people know I'm not trying to be as harsh as I sound.
Mark: *smiles, getting a few plain shirts*
Hmm..
My point being, if not upsetting people was a priority for you I think that would be at least slightly apparent.
Sorry, I'm currently sounding crueller than I intend to.
((And I'm really not sayign that just to make a point.))
I never said it was my priority, but it i do consider it...at least this side of me does.
"I'm not Beth."
- Jaimie,
She said it OMLI she said it!!!!!! :3 August 16, 2015 at 5:03 PM
(K...
If you ever feel ignored, talk to people
Skype me or email whoever... There are solutions)
(Huh? I'm not Beth?)
@Chloe: It can be hard when you feel like poeple don't want to talk to you . . .
I'm not trying to argue against you, I'm just trying to sort of create an add-on to your point. :)
he did skype me.
OMLI OMLI OMLI I KNEW IT!!!!! YOU'RE NOT BETH!!!!!!
Liliana: Mmm... Are you describing yourself?
Bethany: *she sighs happily*
Isabelle: *she cries out*
Lily: *she nods* Yes.

Clocky: *picks up a t short with a woman with hardly any clothes on *
*giggles and picks it up jokingly* what about this?
@Fera: I said 'a priority', not 'your priority' . . . (not trying to sound sarky, just pointing out). When I'm arguing, my top priority usually isn't trying not to upset people either, or I'd stop arguing. It's just a priority of mine. :)
Onwa: Nope. You.
*smiles at her*
James: *laughs, continuing to turn it, watching her arms*
Manuel: Good.
Ooh pretty waves. :)
Mark: *blushes*
I-I..
(Hi moss
I do try to not hurt people most of the time.. )
(Okay star ^.^)
@Keiron: *nods* I can tell. :)

Who is ~ and why do they have a letter of the alphabet number all to themselves? *waves pitchfork*
ok, well i am off to having a shitty rest of the day, perhaps punch a few holes in walls. Hopefully, my hands will bleed and some glass or wood jabs it, so i have to slowly pull it out and feel the pain. then, of course, i am going to punch the same thing again with the same amount of force, hopefully bruising my hand more. Ahh, that sounds wonderful *smirks*

@Fera Um... don't? Try exercising, that might make you feel better...
(it's moss... I am trying to decode that but without context I am literally just fining words that fit into the numbers...
*nods at star* Good :D :P thank you )

@~ I don't speak ~~~ but you too, ~, you too. *hugs warmly*
@Dugglyn SHE'S NOT BETH!!!!! DID YOU KNOW????
guilt tripping? I am merely pointing out that i love hurting things and myself when i am angry, which is what i am going to do.
( if you are telling me to stop doing that then I need more time sorry ... do you know how many words have the same amount of letters... do you know how much harder it is to remember how many letters each word has... :P)

*hugs ~*
*nods at Kas* Exercising releases the same endorphins as hurting yourself . . . my mum recommends it (she's a youth worker).
*also nods at Chloe* I'm pretty sure you're saying this just to make us feel bad for you, Fera. If you weren't, I would be more sympathetic.
@Keiron: :)
Look, can we all calm down, please?
star: sure.
Yeah . . . I think I'm going to stop arguing now unless I have something that REALLY needs saying.
Also, msd.
@~ I can't understand you... but I'm here, okay? Just email me if you want to talk...
kewl. sure.
....
Sometimes when people comment under a different name and their profile blocked and speak in code they wish to remain anonymous e
i am off.
@Dugglyn *whispers* She's not Beth... She's Sarah.
*nodsnods*
Liliana: You have not answered my question, however. Do you like her?
Bethany: *she closes her eyes, resting against her*
Isabelle: *her arms dislocate, and she cries out*
Lily: What sign are we looking for?
Good bye, Fera. Try not to hurt yourself...
Bye FERA!
(Uh, my phone automatically capitalizes your name???)
*jugs Kas*
Uh, slightly confused but sure. I did know she wallets Beth.
( Sorry... I mean it's not the first time with that picture and I have good memory .... I didn't even need to resort to my blod id word document...
although I am currently working on breaking the code... I will not share it here.. )
*is a jug*
*Jaimie is a wallet*
*everyone is confused*
What is happening, Dugglyn?
*nods at Dugglyn* Thank you . . .
BLOD? Blinding Light of Destiny?
(*is a marshmallow *)
This reminds me of a fantastic superhero idea I once heard in English class.
Idk K..
It just seems a little disrespectful? I know that wasn't your intention.
*offers hugs*
@Kas what's happening is my phone is doing what Draggie's does! :0
*marshmallows are delicous*
(Jack.., are you saying I'm delicious? XD)
Um.... *blushes* marshmallowsal are delicious
*frowns*
Um...
Have I ever shared a dream or a concept or anything...
Basically, anything that might explain this being in my notes:
Tia's alone, in her quarters, is in thought, tries to cut her left arm before realising it's a metal replacement.
(I mean she posted it which means it is at least as important as she wants it out her system... I would feel better if I posted some code and someone were to identify it.. :P *hugs* sorry if I offended I didn't see the name being different I just seen the picture and the code and was like ok... decypher mode... not too many people who talk in code either wasn't too big a jump to make... sorry if I made you angry ~ )
XD
*smiles at Chloe and Jack :)*
(Hehehehe XD *hugs jack* I can't wait to have an innuendo alway irl
ON FRIDAY!)
@Keiron: I know Fabi doesn't like her codes being deciphered, so I tend to default to a 'dont decipher' mindset, but yeah, I can imagine people wanting either thing.
XD The thing is, you can't ask them coz they're in code.
Is that ironic? I think it's ironic.
(Was that funny star? XD)
(Hey kas
Hey star :)
I know Chloe, FRIDAY!!!!)
Alright, everybody shut up for a bit.
First off, "Moss" is unavailable.
Thirdly, good luck with that, Keiron.
Sixth and lastly, thanks Kas, but I think I'll leave the whole "talking" thing to Moss.
Secondarily, if Moss comments under another name but it's still obviously her (or connected to her, like in this case), she doesn't care if you know (in fact she mostly expects her close friends to find it obvious), but she'd still rather not be addressed by her normal name.
And to conclude, FERA automatically capitalizes because it was one of the government acts that was part of the New Deal. BA BOOM. History class knowledge not wasted!
Fourthly, hello you lot. How are you?
(I find it funny as if they were to say in code don't decypher then you'd need to decypher to know not to decypher... )
I just thought I might mention it because idk I might not want someone just saying but that's just me?
*laughs at Chloe and Jack*
You guys are great :)))
Mark: *blushes*
I-I..
Onwa: I do. And I agree that she shouldn't be held back due to her parentage.
*smiles, kissing the top of her head*
James: Hmm.. I wonder if I can remove them..
Manuel: kitchen .
(I am happy thanks ^.^ you? )
(Awww thanks dug *hug*)
Clocky; *laughs* I was joking!
( i am good... now... :D and thank you I shall remember this in future sorry again)
(*xlimbs up jack like a koala*£
Mark: Thank God.
Soy ~...
I'm pretty good, how bes you'd and you'd eyes!?
And ahhhhhhhhh, thanks! I had no idea.
I thought my phone was just embracing my enthusiasm! :P
You didn't make me angry, I AM angry. That's the whole damn point.
Moss doesn't like it if you decode her codes, because quite often she says not-so-nice things with them, but I don't really care, and in this case, I'm rather curious to see what you come up with.
Aaaaaanyway ~~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
(Tis okay k, remember my skype door is always open)
Clocks: *giggles* the look on your face!
(*hugs ~*)
I'm fine! I'm great! I'm perfectly lovely!
I'll pass that hug along to Moss, Jai. It'll probably mean more to her than it would to me.
~does so~
~also passes along any other hugs that were directed at me earlier~
Moss says thanks and that she hugs you back.
I say great, lovely, done translating.
*um... Is not a tree but smiles as Chloe climbs?* XD
Hey ~ and dug)
(*kisses jacks nose and smiles *)
Mark: Don't laugh! I panicked!
*jugs back*
I might pod soon, I'm getting kinda car sick :/
And also had service
**hugs
**poof
**had
Oi.
Hey Jack!
*hugs Moss and hands ~ the pitchfork to do with as they please*
*hopes ~ can embrace the traditions of angry medieval farmers and drive out whatever is bringing unhappiness to their village*
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the queen.
~smirks~
~skips to chorus~
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
Can't hold it back anymore!
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care what they're going to say!
Let the storm rage on...
THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY!!!
Clocky: *rememvers* oh... Sorry *looks at the floor*
~Takes the pitchfork and grins~
Thank you Kas. This is splendid!
~Gets out a cauldron and makes some potato broccoli cheddar soup~
~Uses the pitchfork to stir~
Mark: Hey.. it's okay..
Anyway, we should buy the stuff.
*walks with her to the till*
*is excited*
We're singing frozen songs!?
Do you wanna hide a body!?
Liliana: Yes, I do not think so either. But we need to think about what we are going to do with her. If she falls into Minerve's hands... She could be used as a weapon, Onwa. And I do not want that.
Bethany: *she sighs happily, snuggling closer*
Isabelle: You are welcome to try.
Lily: *she looks around* I don't see it...
Clocky: *follows behind him*
*scrunches up face and laughs* koala!
Sure, Dugglyn! :D
Do you want to put it in the soup, or would that be too obvious?
*smiles at ~*
Msd.
...
I was walkin' down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said, "I never seen a man
Who looked so all alone
Oh could you use a little company?
And if you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way."
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said
[Chorus:]
Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
And ain't nothing in this world for free
No I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walkin' down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight
He said give me all you got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice
I told him you can have my cash
But first you know I gotta ask
What made you wanna live this kind of life?
He said
[Chorus]
Well now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
So I turned to the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He'd stuff his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
[Chorus:]
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
And ain't nothing in this world for free
No we can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know we wish we could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good.
Oooooh in da sooooouuuuup!
Then we can offer it to unsuspecting mortals! :D
(*koala cuddles jack*!)
( okay this is harder than expected... there is too many varietions all that could make some sort of sense ranging from 0 to about a 4 on the sense scale lol)
*cuddles Chloe*
Onwa: If your mother touches her..
*the silver in her eyes glows with a large ferocity, bubbling and boiling*
*smiles*
I love you..
James: Mmm..
*continues turning, watching her skin*
Manuel: *looks around also*
(Do they sell kitchen ware at B&Q?)
Mark: *puts his things down to be scanned*
Do you have anything?
Ooh, yeah.
We should probably cut it into bite-sized pieces first though. Do you by any chance have a seven foot long cutting board?
~grins at Kas~
~Rolls eyes at Keiron~ Duh. That's the point.
Clocky; *outs lady boxers and dresses on counter*
(*kisses jacks cheek* rp honey?)
Why yes I do!
*pulls it out of her sock*
Oh dear it appears it is not actually 7 feet but actually 6.9898902848493. Will that be okay?
@k what she said!
Mark: *blushes, counting out the money*
*hands it over taking the bag*
Thanks.
*takes Clocky's hand, walking with her out the shop*
Hmm.. decorations?
Clocky: *squeezes hi habd* decorations ?
( ok well I'm used to the kind where it's someone I can get inside the head of and I don't need to decypher they can make a sound and I know what they mean... give me an hour inside your head please :P hehehe if only it were that simple.)
(@Jai Not sure Jai, sorry
Sure Chloe *kisses*)
T: *sits bleeding and sulking*
///I am thinking of a new... character. Well, not quite. It's... you know how I said I don't have voices in my head (is this normal?) but then sometimes I feel like I do, but then it feels like it's a part of me, just a different part from the one I'm used to. And if I lived in a world of anarchy, I'd probably be Tanya, with all her... everything, basically. But she's crazy. I've seen her in my dreams, she's crazy.
So I'm thinking of introducing someone a little more sane than Tanya. Someone my subconscious is already focusing on, apparently.
This might be a one-off thing, or maybe not. We'll see.///
(@Jacko huh?)
Mark: well.. our rooms are pretty bare?
Michael: *smirks slightly at T*
(*kisses jack*)
Flauros: T?
That's fine. The body can't be more than 6 feet.
Also you have really big feet.
(@kas okay :)
Liliana: *she hugs Onwa tightly* I am sure it will be fine, Onwa.
Alexandria: *she walks back into the room, now dressed in clothing more suitable for her style* I have chosen the one diagonal to this room. It is across the hallway on the left. It is the largest room that is close to this one.
Bethany: I love you, too. *she smiles, sitting up, starting to get dressed*
Isabelle: *she screams as the skin of her arms begins to tear*
(Yes, Jaimie. They do.)
Lily: Any what?
(Hey kas
@Jai about b&q swing kitchenware)
T: *sees the smirk and the vampireimage appears on front of Michael* flavy, I hurt....
Sorry, Keiron, but no deal.
~Puts sign outside of head that says Authorized Personnel Only--Hard Hats and Fluorescent Vests required~
Flauros; hmm *offers her a tissue*
~Scowls~ Fabi needs to take more medicine for her face, which will make us both sleepy, which will mean I can't be here. Too much effort!
Dugglyn, you can keep the cauldron and pitchfork if you need them.
~Vanishes~
(*strolls up like he's meant to be there in a fluorescent vest and hard hat and a clip board he knocks on the head/8 a mr Keiron here to do some fix ups:P hehehe )
Well unless it was Dragona.
But in this case it's not so it's okay!
Do you have a knife?
Onwa: well have it sorted for you.
*starts to get dressed as well*
James: *watches, sighing happily*
Manuel: pardon?
Mark: *ignores the image*
T: *takes tissue and cleans up some of the blood*
Clocky; that is true ... Where to?
I have to go. Take care!
Oh okay, pie!!
I should probably stop using my data and making my self car sick,
Pie people!
Mark: You choose
Flauros: sorry but I don't know how to stop the hurt
(Byii dig !)
Clocky: um.... Home sense?
(Bye dug)
T: *vampire image appears closer to Michael* it's ok Flavy
(bye, both of you...
bye me too)
Flauros: the name is flauros, not flavy
(Byii Kas and k)
I am back i guess or what. idk. maybe. idk. yeah, sure.
Mark: Sure.
Michael: *glares at it*
T: but flavy is more.... You!
Michael?
Flauros; *frowns* more me?
Clocky: *srags him to the shop with the big home sense sign on it*
T: yeah
Flauros; *mutters to self *
Michael: stop trying to scare me..
Mark:*laughs, going with her, smiling*
Clockyd *drags him inside and to the section with loads of wall decorations*
T: but it's fun Michael, what was that flavy?
(Brb)
Flauros: oh nothing...
)okay jack sweetie ^.^)
Mark: *smiles, looking at the decorations*
Hmmm...
Michael: You might think so..
Clocky; *looks at the prices of the canvases* hmmm... I may just paint my own
Mark: What about these butterflies?
*picks up a plastic black 3D butterfly*
You stick them to your walls.
(Brb)
Clocky; those are beautiful!
(Back)
Mark: *smiles* Hey.. I have an idea? Why don't we decorate each other's rooms?
Clocky; sounds fun *smiles* but I don't know your style...
Mark: But I sort of know yours.
Clocky; what is your style?
Mark: *shrugs*
I don't really have one?
Clocky: you hav no specific tastes?
Mark: Not really? Just do what you think is best?
Clocky: hmmm okay *smiles*
Mark: Okay.. I'll give you...
*looks in his wallet, thinking*
£200.. to buy decorations with. Call me when you're done and we'll meet up and call Cole then decorate each others room. We aren't allowed to see until we're done, okay?
Clocku; okay *smiles* I have an idea... I hope you like it
Mark: *smiles*
So do I. See you soon, okay?
*hugs her*
Clocky; okay *hugs back*
(Time skip till everything been bought?)
(Okay ^.^)
Clocky: *rings mark*
Mark: *stops licking his ice cream and answers*
Hey Clocky.
Clocky; I am done *smiles* I outside the art supplies shop
Mark: Okay. I'll be there in a second. What flavour ice cream do you want?
Clocky: ice cream? Um... Chocolate pleass
Mark: Okay. See you soon.
*hangs up, finishing his ice cream, buying Clocky a chocolate ice cream*
*walks, with all his bags, to the art supply shop*
Clocky; *hums to self, waiting*
Mark: *sees her and jogs over, holding the ice cream out for her*
Hey. Take the I've cream and I'll call Cole.
Clockt: okay *takes the icecream and licks it, getting some on her nose*
Mark: *smiles*
You.. have some ice creamm..
*gestures at his nose*
*smiles, getting his phone out, calling Cole*
Cole: *answers* yo
Clocky; *blushes and wipes it off and continues to have her icecream*
Mark: Hey. We're done shopping. How big is your boot..?
Cole; quite big
Mark: Good. Where shall we meet you?
Cole; back at the truck?
Mark: Sure, okay. See you soon.
*hangs up*
Okay, to the truck.
Mine?
Kevin!
(*rolls eyes*)
kevin!
(Rhos!)
Clocky: okay *smiles*
Mark: *links arms with her, trying to get sneak peeks at what's in her bags*
*walks towards where the truck was*
Cole: *is leaning against the truck*
Clocky: no peaking
Mark: *grins*
Fine, fine.
*reaches the truck*
Hey Cole.
Cole: *wears a cool pair of sunglasses*
*was finishing a slushie* yo, ready?
*Returns but ghosts*
