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 2001 – 2200 of 4988 Newer› Newest»Alexandria: Thank you.
Bethany: Can I teleport out of here?
Isabelle: *she speaks between gritted teeth* Are you going to rip them off or what?
Lily: You asked me if I had any... any what?
Mark: *rolls his eyes*
Yep.
(Hey Jacko.)
So I ded to
Randomness, because well demonstrated here its fun :D
It makes people laugh which at the end of the day I like doing just that, because laughter helps people, makes them feel good about things and they can forgot about the worries of life for a little bit
Which Is always welcome
I ded to Kevin the zebra (my profile pic ) because he is an awesome zebra!
I mean look at him, brilliant xD
I ded to that special person
Everyone has one somewhere,
As I've heard from my sister,
Ladies don't wait for prince charming, go look for him.
The idiot is probably stuck up a tree somewhere
And a funny one I like:
Everyone has their someone
I think mine got hit by a truck :)
Yeah now in all seriousness
We all have our someone out there
Who will love us and we will love them
Who will annoy us and we return the favour
And finally I ded to world peace because it needs to happen
War is old now...
If you look back at history, there is just war after war after war
And well we as a species needs to stop
I know these words won't change anything
But it feels good to say it
Sneaky extra bit
I ded to blog friends we haven't seen in ages :)
Because they're still our friends and well it would be nice for them to come back
Same with the oldies
Would nice for them to come back too :)
The end

#Kevin for world leader! xD
And Chloe Jack and me have too :D
Its the only way :P
Liliana: Yes, we should. *she pauses* We are being blocked from travelling to where they are. We may need to wait for them to go elsewhere.
Bethany: *she nods, putting her shoes on* *she extends her hand to Silente, smiling*
Isabelle: *her arms get torn off and her screams fill the room*
(Apologies, I am tired and I must have confused the two.)
Lily: Can you see it?
Hehe, cheers Kevin
*looks at Chloe* but Chloeeee
I love you too Chloe
(Thats a catchy song chloeeeeee)
Mark: I think I got some good stuff.
Onwa: Ah, of course.
*finishes getting dressed, taking her hand*
James: *laughs, relaxing, sighing very happily, groaning quietly*
Manuel: I do. Follow me.
*walks towards it*
No problemo Jack, no problemo :)
(Did i ever tell you the definition of insanity?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rKMMCPeiQoc )
I can't YouTube at the moment, I'll watch it when I can
(Okay Jack
And that's for anyone who wants to know the definition of insanity )
Did you mean the Einstein definition?
(no buts jack
it is a catchy song ^.^)
cole *drives home and smiles* gooood
clocky: *ticks nervously*
Mark: *listens to the ticking, finding it calming*
I just watched a really grusome death on scream and it was amazing...blood everywhere.
My favourite death is still probably the umbrella death in Another.
Chloeeee....
cole: *arrives home*
(hey gem)
(*gives you the look*)
(Hey gemmy.)
Mark: Okay. Decorating time.
No, its a different one ;P haven't seen Einstein's definition of insanity
That is Vaas' definition of insanity :) )
(Gem that's sounds awesome! :D I love gorey deaths :D the bloodier the better! )
*hehe, can't helpbut smile* fine
Ok, it' just a phrase from einstein
Hehe, I agree rhos
I'm now intrigued as to what he says
So I shall go look it up now
Thank you Jack :)
Ok rhos, tis ok :)
clocky: okay *gets out and gets her bags *
(yay! *kisses jack repeatedly*)
*kisses Chloe repeatedly*
(I love you Jack)
(Ewwwwie)
Mark: *carries his bags into the house*
*leaves the ones with the clothes in in the living room*
Okay.
(and I'm back :)
Holy sh*t Einstein and Vaas' definition are the same! :D
So technically Vaas is just quoting Einstein, but he adds swear words to it xD
This is a good day :) for insanity
I love you too Chloe
Hehe, what's up Jai?
Really? Hehe it is a good day for inanity!!!!! XD
(whats wrong jai?)
clocky: *follwos* lets see
(*waves at the kissing*)
Hehe, yes Jai?
(Einstein's definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result.
THeres my little psychopath *hugs Gemmy tightly* love you :P)
Mark: Ready to decorate?
(jai, you mean this? *pulls jack into a kiss*)
clocky: *nods*
*kisses Chloe* hehe
(Ewwwwwwwww.)
Mark: Good.
*walks into her bedroom, closing the door behind himself*
(*smiles*)
clocky: *goes into his room and shuts the dorr*
(6. /4 but still )
*smiles* hehe, sorry Jai XD
That is Jack that it is >:D
And thats exactly it K!
Thats exactly it :D the quote is the same,
Just one comes from a genius and the other from a insane warlord of a kind :)
But both use the same quote)
*laughs which according to Chloe is evil* XD
(it is evil!)
Not evil XD
(Time skip Chloe?)
(is evil!)
(okay jai ^.^)
( *sighs and disappears into the darkness to be forgotten*
*wonders if they understand why I think it's deliberate yet 11.)
Not evil XD
Sorry keiron, I'm maintaining a few conversations, I'm only barely reading comments, sorry I don't mean to
(K, sorry but I don't always know how tp reply
is evil!)
Not evil XD
Mark: *steps out of her room, removing a breathing mask*
Liliana: I will tell you when they are available.
Alexandria: So what do we do until then?
Bethany: *she smiles, and they vanish in a flash of white, reappearing back in Claire's house, in the kitchen*
Isabelle: Glad to see you're enjoying it.
Lily: *she follows him*
(it's fine. it's obvious, why it can't be said is beyond me ... but it's fine)
(is evil!)
clocky: *steps out, with paint on her dress*
(*hugs K*)
Onwa: Hmm.. how are you?
*yawns slightly*
*blinks at Beth*
Your hairs a bit..
*finger combs beths hair a bit*
James: *chuckles*
Manuel: *leads her to a range of ovens, sinks etc*
(Keiron, perhaps it may be a good idea to accept that sometimes people will not reply to what you say. It does not mean that they are ignoring you, it simply means that they are busy or are unsure about how to reply. It does not say anything about you or anyone else, and there is no reason to be upset about it. In fact, it could even mean that they missed what you said altogether. I, for example, tend to skim over the comments until I find the roleplay that Jaimie and I partake in. I do not read many of the others.)
Mark: *looks at her, grinning*
Hey.
Not evil XD
Alexandria: Me?
Liliana: They are available now. *she extends her hands to Onwa and Alexandria*
Alexandria: *she frowns slightly, taking Liliana's hand*
Bethany: Sorry... *she pauses, blushing* ... I may have forgotten to put my bra back on. Sorry, I'm really clumsy and stupid...
Isabelle: It may be a good idea to leave my legs so I can actually walk to the other devices.
Lily: I recognise sinks, but what are the other things?
Clocky: hey *smileS*
(is evil!)
Clocky: hey *smileS*
(is evil!)
( @soph I understand that it has just tripled its frequency since a week ago maybe... so seems Like it is in conjunction with other events.
*hugs Jai* ... )
How is it evil? XD
(K I haven't ignored you
Read back :) I replied to you *nods*
When I was talking about insanity and i first changed to Vaas )
( yes I know Rhos... hence why it wasn't 12.)
I'm sorry keiron, IRey not to ignore people and I'm sorry if it seems I am
(it sounds evil!)
How does it? XD
(That may be the case, Keiron. You have been defending Fera recently, so it is only natural that people will begin to assume you are also part of the problem. It may help if you would stay out of events like those. To be entirely honest, I am completely unaware of what most people are actually thinking - whether it is subconsciously or not - so I am only making estimated guesses. It may be entirely coincidental. I am only sure that I just skip over the majority of comments regardless what has happened.)
Onwa: *takes her hand*
*blushes, smiling*
Mmm.. oops. Poor you.
*kisses her gently*
James: Perhaps..
Manuel: An oven, counter tops, fridges..
Mark: finished?
(Oh I see :)
*totally bamboozled with the numbers but hey maybe its the number of eyes thats been poked? Like some Halloween thing I read somewhere a while back*
*that would be pretty cool actually :P
42 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 *pokes someone's eye* 43 43 43 43 43 )
Every time I see the number 42 I just see the universe XD
Hear hear... :/
Hello.
Ahhh the answer to the ultimate question :)
Good times.. Goood times xD
Gotta give Douglas Adams his due, 42 is the answer to everything xD )
clocky: *nods*
(hello kas ^.^
it just is!)
Mark: can I see?
( I as is probably quite clear hate being ignored ... I would rather someone turn around and tell me to get lost ect than to just not speak and hope I go away, so when I see someone I like getting ignored because of something I could have just as easily said, it feels like a personal attack and I have to help... sorry...
I'm empty right now jack empty with realism and a slight sprinkle of optimism that tomorrow will be better. wbu?)
Aye, I mean the book is good, but to be honest, the film was better I thought, Martin Freeman was brilliant
Hey kas
Not evil Chloe
Ten years. My granddad has been dead for ten years.
I'm very happy thanks keiron, I'm sorry if it seemed I ignored you, I do try to keep up
clocky: if you want...
(is evil)
I'm sorry to hear that keiron
Not evil Chloe
(fine *pouts*)
*is not trying to ignore Keiron at all*
*does not have anything against Keiron for him defending Fera*
*just for the record*
You win Chloe, it is evil
Hey star
(Hey Kas its been a while and I'm sorry for your loss *hugs* )
Yeah the book is good *nods* :)
And i saw a little bit of the film but didn't see the whole thing.. :/
I really need to watch it,
*goes on bucket list* )
(yay!)
*nods and hugs back*
Mark: Lead the way
*smiles*
Printing out Cards Against Humanity so me and my friends can play it on Thrusday.
Hoping no one sees what I'm printing. XD
The film is brilliant rhos
Hehe, well done Chloe XD
I loved the books. They were so unique and cool. :)
Didn't see the film
(@star thanks again...
@rhos the number was for the number of comments I was ignored not eyes
@jack it's fine.
@kas I'm sorry to hear that... *thinks* I think it's been 9 since my Dad passed )
(heehe XD)
Clocky: *takes his hand* close your eyes
@Keiron :/
(off to bed
nos da!)
The books are good too
Chloe XD
Nos da Chloe
I might be off too actually, tired
Bye
(ahh i see K *nods*
And thank you for the link :)
Its handy but I don't watch films online :P still the thought is there and I'm grateful for it hehe
(this be my last comment for tonight
Goodnight peoples and may insanity vist you all )
A little update: I was discharged at eleven, on the terms that I see Dr. c and talk to a woman who died therapy on a farm (MUCH more agreeable than having to be an inpatient at the hospital)
I still get to go to school, which I lobbied hard for
I weighed myself- usually when I weigh myself with y clothes on, I'm two or three lbs heavier than just my stark weight, and I was at 138, so I lost some weight in the past... Sixteen hours or so.
I have already forgiven myself.
The reason why I snapped was because I have been forgetting to take my medicine. And it scared my family a lot and so...
I have forgiven myself for making the mistake
So I don't carry the burden
I have all of my razors and blades to mom
And I feel a lot better. Like, really good. Honestly, I really don't care about things here, like a usually do, which is one HUGE anxiety off my back.
(nos da Chloe and Jack :P
@kas *hugs* *thinks* If I were 11 and it happened in october then it'd be 2007 which would mean 8 years... )
@Noelle: *hugs* Oh, good. :) :) :) :) *hugs again*
(@Noelle I'm so glad you feel better :)
It is so good to hear that you feel better, and that you don't care so much about things here. I sincerely hope this will help you.
Noelle, I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm here for you... *hugs her if she wishes*
Good night!
(thats good noelle... i'm glad
Also goodnight Rhos np :P )
(Were it a personal attack against you, Keiron, it would be directed at you. Since you did not say it, you are not being attacked by it.)
Liliana: *they vanish in a flash of black, reappearing beside Bethany and Silente*
Bethany: *she kisses her back, jumping slightly at the appearance of Liliana, Onwa and Alexandria*
Liliana: Were we interrupting something?
Isabelle: Or you could move me.
Lily: What do they do?
(Noelle - I am glad that you have forgiven yourself.)
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow, noticing the hair*
I see why we couldn't contact them earlier.
*blushes, slipping an arm around Beth's waist*
Hi..
James: Mmm.. however it is hard to torture an limbless body.
Manuel: ovens are used for cooking, fridges keep things fresh.
((Sorry, distant. Still printing out Cards Against Humanity.))
(@soph thanks I get that... Its just that mixed with the subconscious thought that people were judging me and ignoring me because they thought that I didn't like them or thought less of them was on my mind too ... I'm too paranoid basically... something always has to be happening for anything to make sense)
*er kind of here* *kind of not* *writing and emailing*
*realised he couldn't actually be bothered to finish the last series of his Mass Effect fanfic*
*totally pleased with the new one he's starting so far*
*it's set between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 when the Quarians start to try to retake Rannoch*
*HUGS STARFISH*
Fun fact: when Derek says he will sign anything, he means it. I know because I made him sign a brand new toilet brush once at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I wonder if he remembers that.
@Dragona: :) *hugs him back* Hi. :)
@June: I didn't know Derek had written a toilet brush. O_O
DAMMIT LAPTOP LAGGING
Firefox keeps tellign me how to speed Firefox up but I can't be botehred to follow their instructions. XD
A toilet brush??? XD
Starfish XD Lol.
( chrome is better :P but both are better than internet explorer or microsoft edge :P )
@Keirno: I haven't tried Microsoft Edge.
I got it when I got Windows 10 a few days okay, but I took one look at it and was like 'meh, I can't be bothered to try and new browser' and just clicked 'restore previous session' on Firefox.
Which is what I do every time I enter Firefox.
And it brings up my five ever-open tabs.
And I can't be botehred to refind them all. :P
(Which is one of the reasons I can't be bothered to speed up Firefox. Effort. :P)
When we first got WhatsApp we were all like 'ooh, we have five pages of emoji, this is cool' and now we barely even use emoji for plain old emoji purposes (we just construct them out of punctuation)
I actually tend to forget all those emoji options are tehre
( it's faster than ie but not by much :P
Chrome has that too ... usually if not ctrl shift t :P )
( it's faster than ie but not by much :P
Chrome has that too ... usually if not ctrl shift t :P )
@Keiron: Yeah but I'd have to open them all on my first Chrome session.
. . .
Meh. :P
*uses IE*
*because idk*
*doesn't want to upgrade*
*because the way Microsoft is going Windows 10 will be worse than Windows 8 and Windows 8 is atrocious*
*wants Windows 7*
*windows 7 was great*
@Dragona: No, Windows 10 is more like Windows 7 and has a proper Start menu. :) Upgrade. :) It's much better than Windows 8.
(*AGrees with star* also upgrade to something thats not ie please... )
*nods at Keiron* Yeah. Pretty much any well-known browser is better than Internet Explorer. :)
I mean, I know I said my Firefox lags, but like, they recognised it was lagging more than normal and told me how to fix it. :P
*might switch to Firefox*
*doesn't trust Google though so not Chrome*
*Google is evil*
@Dragona: XD
*just like TGI Friday's and Superdry* *there are lots of evil corporations*
(I had a google phone and a google tablet and a google chrome they know enough about me I don't care :P)
I have an Android phone, on which I use Chrome, and all my music is on Google Play and Google is my primary/only search engine and . . . yeah . . . :P
*has an android phone but has very strict rules about downloading apps* XD *is pretty sure Google knows nothing*
@Dragona: I'm just very optimistic, so I look at all the warnings saying it'll read all my info and I'm just like "it'll be fine C:"
:P
Not very good really.
*doesn't trust Google so is like "NO I'M NOT LETTING YOU DO THAT GOOGLE" XD*
Idk, the more time I spend with people the more I love them, and like, I'm used to Google a lot so I'm quite fond of it purely because of all the time I've spent using it.
Oh yeah that's a thing btw.
Catherine is typing...
*has been staring at the words 'Catherine is typing...' for seven minutes*
Ah she finally finished typing.
(Some of google is toroshish tbh but alphabet got rid of google plus integration )
*HATED Google plus to pieces* *wanted to stab it with a spoon*
Starfish :) *hugs* Eh just because you're comfortable with something doesn't mean you shouldn't watch out for it like idk you might cross a road every day but you still look before crossing?
The otehr day I discovered that listening to Iron Maiden helps me get to sleep, and although that sounds really crazy I sort of understand why it works but whenver I try to explain it I seem to start trying to explain why it's calming and relaxing and then I'm jus tlike 'erm'.
In series on episode four of Supernatural Dean was on that plane and he's scared of planes, and at one point Sam said "Are you humming Metallica?" and Dean said "Yeah, it calms me down," and I think that was meant to make us laugh but idk it makes complete sense to me.
@Dragona: :P Oh, I don't like Google Plus, but I need my Google Plus account for lots of stuff. :P
And, yeah. :/
*hugs back*
I'm not comfortable with crossing roads, though. Crossing roads scares me. :P
*one
Oh yeah on that note I'm going to sleep like . . . after I've brushed my teeth, which I'm heading off to do now. :)
(Atrocious * btw... I said toroshish earlier and lost my mind wondering what the word was)
Google didn't believe in my house for a while. Idiots.
Update:
Stomach still hurts- more like a "I want to puke" hurt
But dinner of steak helped. They drew a lot of blood and I didn't eat anything the whole time I was there
So
I'm filling my tummy again.
Also: not a big appetite
I don't really know how to act around my family.. I don't know what to say
Or do
It's bad
It's so bad
But I can't think about what happened because I'll cry and that will send me over again
Just
My mom said that if I tried to kill myself again, se would have to let me go because she can't do this again
*sends her 'hug card' to Noelle*
*so that when Noelle opens the card, she'll get a hug*
*is relieved to hear she's eating now, but sorry to hear what her mom has to say about the other thing*
Moss:
[hugs Noelle]
I'm glad you're still here.
It isn't your fault, Noelle, and I'm sorry interacting with your family has been so difficult. I love you, and I'm here- and I am so glad you're alive.
Love how Ari only comments to say anything to Noelle..
Anyway- For my sibling at least, when he came home he tried to act...normal. Make sense? Like moving on not dwelling on what happened.
Alastair comments to Noelle because she's his friend. [shrugs] It's his choice.
And different things help for different people I suppose.
It would be understandable though, if you couldn't feel normal after something like that.
(*hugs Noelle*
Your stomach will grow eventually, don't worry. You'll need sweet things if they've taken a lot of blood cause blood sugar levels..
I'm sorry you don't know how to act around your family, and about what your mum said.. if it helps I doubt she truthfully means it..)
Noelle :/ *hugs*
*will have no broadband today* *won't be here much*
*is sad* :(
*fingers still doing the weird peely bleedy thing*
*slowly fades in, hiding somewhere so she can't be seen*
*still, wonders why Dragona's sad*
*sends her wandering plate to him with a cookie on it*
*it's soft and chewy, but if he doesn't like it, ask the plate for the kind of cookie he wants*
*is also a shadow, just to mention*
*noms cookie* *thanks the plate* XD *is sad because of no internet*
*oh*
*she understands*
*plate bends its 'knee joints' in a sort of odd bow at the thanks*
*quickly returns to where it came from, having completed its task*
*probably can't access Mass Effect either because of ORIGIN*
:/ *hugs Noelle . . .*
*HUGS STARFISH* Hey STARFISH. :)
hello.
Hey Fera
how's you?
(No internet..?
...
Oh..)
...
*makes a mental note to think up a ded later*
*goes back to hiding*
*makes her ded now*
*dedicates to friends*
*no matter what they go through, friends always stick together*
*but there will be times friends become lost to us, sometimes it's slow, and other times just like that*
*still, I believe true friendship is when that happens, we never completely forget them*
*we will still be there, if they ever contact us again, even if they ignore our own messages, or if we simply never sent one*
*because true friends are always there; they always remember*
*even after the friendship is lost...*
*hugs Lav*
*hugs hope* hello star.
*hugs Starfish* :D So HAPPY. There used to be these green marzipan truffle chocolate things I used to have as a child and I don't even know what they're called they were just always "green things" and Ikea sells them and OMG HAPPY I HAVE SOME I ATE ONE <3
*acknowledges the hug, but is her shadow self*
*the dedication wasn't just about herself either, it's for everyone who feels that way*
*a few people come to mind when she thinks about it*
*she just knows how it feels on both ends...*
Hear Head
(*mumbles*
Hear hear..)
@Dragona: OMG THOSE MOMENTS ARE AWESOME. :)
@Jai: :/ *hugs* You okay?
