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...

(Hear hear
Apart from pizza
Don't like that
*glomps jack*)
Hi Grant. ^^ ... or do you prefer another name?
Hello Grant
*is glomped*
*fades away*
aquila: :) i'll take out the trash and be back ^_^
(Hey grant
Don't fade jack my love!)
*fades slower but stays in the background*
-tilts head-
... um, don't be scared of us? I'm sure we seem strange, but we won't eat you alive.
... except if you're a chocolate bunny or a vegetable.
... in that case, feel free to run and hide.
(*sulks in the corner... Like an adult *)
*hides because I am a vegetable*
Chloeeeeeee
Mmmmm, vegetables... -suddenly looks hungry-
Hehe *um.... Hides by Chloe*
... if you are a tomato, you're in serious trouble. :3
(*protecta the love of my life... Who's a carrot*)
*is a tomato pretending to be an apple*
Hehe Chloe XD
(Tomato is a fruit!)
(What? I like carrots)
*is a carrot disguised as a tomato pretending to be an apple*
That's true Chloe
If it fits in my salad, I will call it a vegetable...
... besides, biologically, a pumkin would be a berry and a strawberry would be a bunch of nuts... >.> ^^
-blinks- A tomato-apple-carrot. Hrm... you're too strange to be food. -nods-
(*opens my mouth to say aomethjng*
*is terribly confused*
*shuts it again*)
The definitions of what kind of fruit a fruit is never make much sens if compated to the names of the fruit. XD
Basically, for a berry, the 'skin' part has to be soft, the 'flesh' part has to be soft, and the 'seed' part has to be soft as well.
A nut is hard in all three cases, and the tiny dots on a strawberry are actually the fruits - tiny nuts. So a strawberry is really a collection of nuts tricking you into eating them. :P
*unconfuses Chloe*
(*kisses jack*
Much science
Small brain XD)
*kisses Chloe*
-wonders if the stuff Fera meant to take out turned into some kind of monster and ate him- 0.0
And, science is fun, if it's the random fact kind. ^^
(I am doing biology a level
I think it's okay so far
*turns into inky bunny*)
-casually moves all her important papers out of the reach of that bunny-
... no need for bunny footprints on that.. >.>
(+looks up at Aq *)
(*sings physical by Olivia Newton john XD as it comes on tv*)
*hugs inky bunny*
... a singing inky bunny being hugged by a tomato-apple-carrot.
Now I've seen it all.
(*bunny kisses jack*)
-wonders if playing some shark attack dundundun in the background will effect the scene-
-grins-
This suddenly turned into a horror movie. XD
no aquila, i said i was gonna take out the trash :P I am back ^_^
*smiles at the singing bunny*
(*looks terrified*)
So the trash didn't turn into a monster and eat you? Good. ^^
Oh god. XD Inky, you're the bunny! HE's supposed to be scared of YOU. :P
(Not really. But if he was a plant mix, he'd be juuuuust below bunny-you in the food chain... >.>)
(*hides up jacks sleeve*)
( *watches austin powers maybe that will make me happier*)
-hums pirates of the carribean soundtrack-
auila: no, it didn't :P as far as i can tell ^_^
AUSTIN POWERS!!!!!!!
*keeps bunny safe*
*realises aquila is right* *bunny could eat me XD*
( GROOVY BABY! )
(*nips jack*)
Good. It wouldn't be a pleasante death, I think.
... although 'suffocating on a marshmallow' is still the most embarassing death I can think of. ^^
Yeah, same XD and apparently one person has died from it...wtf.
... for real? 0.0
I just heard of an American girl that wore so tight jeans some nerves in her legs died off.
... I have no idea how you manage that.
aquila: for real, there was a marshmallow eating contest, and a woman died from choking on them XD WTF...
I mean condolences and everything but how do you manage that?
(a woman in the uk fainted after squatting for too long in skinny jeans
she later died)
*is eaten by Chloe* *Chloe the marshmallow*
Brilliant keiron!!!
Maybe she ate tiny ones that fit in the wrong places or so...
... I suddenly see my skinny black jeans in a different light... 0.0
( a person put an iphone 6 in there skinny jeans and it squished it so much that the battery acid leaked and gave them 3rd degree burns )
maybe....But i mean she was hospitalized, and still died.
(*Is soft like a marshmellow*)
How do people even GET into such tight jeans? 0o
(*thinks of marshmellows from the annoying orange series*)
I like skinny jeans still :P
(*will regret saying this* I cant wear skinny jeans
I have a hard time getting them over my butt)
( they also kill your sperm count... I don't see much good in them)
well i mean on other people, i don't like them on myself :D
Chloe XD
Inky, saaaame. My bum is just a bit big. >.>
You have to pull them over one side of your hips first, then the other. -nods-
(whaaaat? XD )
Just speaking from experience. -nods again-
Works far better than the laying down and pulling like stupid approach. >.>
(*blushes* I remember me and my friend izzy went to the gym once and ran into these girls we know. one said 'im really jealous of your legs, chlo' and I was there blushing to myself when my friend izzy goes 'shes got an amazing ass too'
I really needed that XD)
Your perfect Chloe, as you are! You don't need skinny jeans! They're evil
-smiles at Chloe and Jack-
Cuties.
(awww thanks jack ^>^ hehe I know you like my ass XD especially when I dance)
(awww gem ^.^' says you, you and k are cuties yourselves)
( *doesn't say what he's thinking as it's a bit dirty*
*if they are uncomfortable they shouldn't force themselves*
* loves seeing them on... the floor :P *
*damnit*)
Thank gemma
Chloe! XD I just love your dancing!!!
(so you don't like my ass, okay XD)
What is even O.O :P
*doesn't know what to say* *is broken*
... I totally just caused a conversation about skinny jeans and butts. -shakes head-
(awww im sorry jack! *huggles* im only teasng you )
(*hehe remembers the riff off from pitch perfect 2*)
I don't like skinny jeans. On myself or on other people. Am I the odd one out? XD
Jack: "I like big butts and i cannot lie"
(Idont like them tbh star
I think I only owned one pair, because I liked the colour
hehehe gem XD)
*nods at Chloe*
(*frowns* where is jai? )
You may be, Star, but I think you're in luck. Can't imagine Dragona to ever wear them. XD
(they were like a red wine sort of colour... they were lush)
She was doing homework then watching bake-off
(ah, I see
I was wondering where she had gone)
Gemma XD
(didn't deny it jack XD)
@Chloe: *looks unknowing* I don't know.
I haven't heard from her at all today. :/
@Aquila: .
Over here, we say 'fullstop' to express that we think all on a topic has been said and we agree to what has been said.
-tilts head at Star-
This is a really weird conversation 0o
I don't like skinny jeans.
I just go from how comfy things are XD
And I can't imagine skinny jeans are comfy.
Like at all.
By the sound of it it'd be like trapping your leg in a vice 0o
(*watches markiplier*
he did a vid where he reads comments
he said hell make more, so I said that he should come to wales
I started to talk to random welsh fans XD)
@Aquila: I use a full stop to say "."
Idk.
It's my dot that I use.
Mostly on WhatsApp.
They're like "Holly what do you mean when you post a dot" adn I'm like "Idk, I mean ".""
Hi Dragona!
I KNEW it. :D ^^
(hey Dragon!)
-hugs Chloe and Jack- ^.^
(*huggles Gem and Jack*)
I don't find skinny jeans comfortable /or/ aesthetically pleasing.
For me it's just a lose-lose.
I like jeans though. :)
I think a lot of people, when wearing skinny jeans, swap comfort for aesthetics.
*shrugs*
*thinks about that for a bit*
Jai is coming on.
I like jeans, too. ^^ They are tough. -nods-
I like jeans, I just don't like shopping FOR jeans. I don't like clothes shopping generally.
Most of what I wear tends to be t-shirt + jacket + jeans or t-shirt + jacket + idk long short things? XD
I only wear skinny jeans for Keiron.
(yay for jai!
give me flares any day
or better yet, dresses!)
(*sits in a shadowy area, dark as an endless void*)
So just play nice.
Onwa: Mm. Lucky for you.
James: Just destroy the building..
*has temporarily given up on proving his dominance*
Manuel: we will. Thank you.
... I never noticed you wear two jackets at once. XD
(*huggles Jai Jai*)
@Gemma: Okay. :)
I don't like clothes shopping mostly on a fear-of-people front.
(I is off to bed now
nos da)
(Keiron likes other things on you too :D :P )
(*Huggles "chlo chlo" back*)
Night Inky! ^^
( NOs da ! )
(*Joins Jai in the little abyss*)
goodnight chloe.
Oh hey Jai. :) *hugs*
Nos da, Chloe. :)
-hugs Jai-
What's wrong? You were fine earlier.
Night Chloe. -hugs- :)
Oh gosh I can't rememebr who's appeared and who hasn't. :/ Sorry.
-puts a ladder at the side of the abyss-
Y'know, for easy climbing out should you wish to...
Chi: -freezes the bottom of the abyss so that hopefully her sister and her husband come out and give her a hug-
Sorry, I vanished
Nos da Chloe
I'm off too, bye alls
(*Frowns as his butt becomes considerably colder*)
Me and my dog are watching Avengers Assemble. :)
(*yelps because COLD!!!*
*climbs out cause WARMTH*
*hugs gem then runs to ma run down hut with the *finally* patched up roof*)
( I'm not racist, I'd still hate Chris Brown if he was Chris White :P )
(*Slowly climbs out to warmer areas and just kinda collapses on Chi*)
The film REALLY doesn't make sense though but y'know.
Chi: -hugs Jaimie-
-laughs and looks down at John-
Are you coming out?
Dragona: Dragons and dogs Assemble!
Chi: -cuddles John and tries to heat him up but she's mostly made of ice-
-makes a blanket and puts it over them-
-laughs at Keiron's joke-
@Dragona: Probably makes more sense than Merlin series five. -_- Plotholes everywhere. We find one pretty much every episode.
(senpai noticed me :P <3 _ cuddles Gemmy Tightly _ )
@Starfish the plothole density is probably the same for both XD
-cuddles Keiron-
(*Tries to cuddle the blanket and Chi at the same time*
*More the blanket cause, well, it's warm*)
@Dragona: If you say so. :P I didn't notice the plotholes in Avengers Assemble, but I've not watched it that much. My family is very familiar with Merlin. We notice things.
( -kisses Gemma- )
Okay okay okay list of plot holes
Captain America never said he ACCEPTED the bet from Fury but paid him for it anyway which is UNACCEPTABLE.
A source of infinite power caused an explosion which wasn't infinite.
Captain America is a soldier who can't shoot properly.
Loki gets himself caught for no reason
Loki taps someone's chest to control their mind
Loki's alien army all die when their ship gets nuked even though they're CLEARLY organic.
Black Widow can fire an alien weapon that she literally just picked up.
The Avengers LITERALLY have no plan for winning the war in New York. The film only ends because the mysterious shadow people decided to nuke the city. If they hadn't have done that, Iron Man would have run out of power and they'd have all DIED eventually.
Loki lets Iron Man land and remove his suit and pour a drink and talk about threatening him and doesn't even try to kill him.
Thor can't pick up his hammer but we're NEVER told why.
Loki doesn't try to run away when Iron Man + Thor + Captain America are fighting which is pointless anyway because he got caught for no reason so he might as well have run.
SHIELD clearly has a lot of planes everywhere and yet they decide to send only a few people to stop an alien invasion rather than y'know deciding that flying a plane into the portal and nuking it that way. I mean the shadow-people were going to nuke a CITY of normal people when they could have maybe just had one pilot die and the city SAVED. And the pilot could have survived too.
Odin Definitely says in the first Thor film that his hammer has no equal yet the Hulk manages to stand up to it pretty well. As does basically everyone in the Thor films so er it has lots of equals. Odin LIES XD
The shadow people decide to nuke a city because of an invasion when the aliens NEVER ACTUALLY HARM OR KILL ANYONE AT ALL. Sure there are some explosions every now and then but NO ONE GETS HURT XD
Er that's all I can think of right about now.
@Dragona: Okay.
Actually in terms of time Merlin might have a higher plothole density. The earlier merlins didn't have MANY but the later ones did. :)
@Dragona: Yeah, Merlin series five is just like plotholes everywhere. :P
XD Merlin series 5 was one of my least favourites.
This is what I do btw. If I've seen a film or something before I just end up pointing out flaws in it XD The first time I watch it I'm like "ooh cool" then after that I'm just like mwhahahahaha.
I usually try to ignore the flaws so I can try to enjoy it and appreciate it.
I enjoyed Merlin series five the second time I watched it, but I'm not enjoying it much now (on the third watch). Contrastingly, I didn't enjoy Merlin series four much at all on the second watch but enjoyed it more on the third watch.
(I should probably explain at this point that my family is obsessed with Merlin. :P)
All very good points i didn't think about, Dragona.
-kisses Keiron-
Chi: -Cuddles John-
-gets rejected by her husband for a blanket-
Well, remember, Captain American can hold the hammer.
( the only reason cap couldn't is he didn't believe in himself )
We used to watch Merlin all the time and had all the DVDs and stuff. We used to be the same with Primeval too XD
Primeval was so great. It was just wonderful. Like a mixture between Merlin and Jurassic Park. Like the humour-style of Merlin and lots of dinosaurs. XD
Probably because he was such a terrible shot in the Avengers XD
I like Dr. Who. :) ^^
9 me too Aq :D )
(*John isn't Chi's husband, Blake is*)
*Attacklehugs Chi, kissing her lovingly*
(And now I have to get to class.)
@Dragona: We have all the box sets of Merlin and we watch them all every year. Didn't last year though.
We must have watched the earlier series six or seven times. XD
I haven't watch Primeval. But you know that. :P
Anyway, um, I shoudl be getting to sleep around now, so, um, yeah.
Night Star! ^^
(Well i didn't know what name to use cause you were talking in brackets... :-/
Bye.)
*watched
((*is probably getting tired - typed 'up' to 'that' a few minutes ago. O_o))
*typoed
((Point proven. XD))
( -hugs gemmy tightly-)
I used to like Doctor Who XD Christopher Ecclestone and David Tennant were good Doctors. Matt Smith I liked less than them but then idk what happened with Peter Capaldi but it was like the writers just decided to idk go on strike or something XD He isn't a BAD Doctor, he isn't a GOOD one, but the episodes themselves I HATE XD
Night Starfish! *hugs Starfish*
I have to be up early tomorrow to take the dog for a walk apparently so i'll be going to sleep too XD
Night Dragona. ^^
Hrm. Do you Bloglandians ever read old comments for amusement?
-totally doing that right now- ^^
(sometimes )
Way back I once attempted to draw a picture that included every regular on the blogs.
... toooo many people for me... ^^ I never finished it. ^^
(you could draw a new one :P less people? )
Might be less people, but I'll take some time to get to know you guys and your main OCs. ^^
( I thought you mean authors :P hehe
if it helps conductor is basically me but in a black trench coat trousers shirt and doc martens and is a necromancer :D but cooler :P )
(Hrm. I wonder what someone 'cooler than a necromancer' looks like... -mentally attaches some ice cubes to the poor guy-)
-slips under her covers-
Mmmmm i might not be awake for much longer.
(he's an off the reservation necromancer without the whole temple crap and basically doesn't know his limits till he reaches them...
Con: Why can't you just say i'm a psychopath ? )
Sleep well once you do. :) ^^
Aquila: They know not to insult us.
Swirl: Nothing is worse than a pouty character.
Aquila: Right?
Me: -just nods-
( - hugs his baby gemmy- )
Zaf once told me her OC never went to the Temple for long once she was old enough and experienced the Surge.
( Con: Pouty... me? no... Evil, psychopathic ect yes. HE knows he should just call it as it is... it's not like I can hurt him too badly, if I do then we both die.)
Aquila: We get pouty.
Swirl: You more than me, though.
Me: They might run off and complain to Sven... or move in with him for a couple days.
Aquila: The nest IS nice.
Me: I know, I've got a sofa there. XD
( I might need to sleep )
Sleep well as well, then. ^^
*reads comments about skinny jeans*
XD
I don't like wearing skinny jeans, and when I was little, I used to think that was the only kind of jeans there were, so during the cold seasons, I'd wear sweats. :P I prefer comfort over fashion. *nods*
Hi again Lila. ^^
Jeans are never warm, though, so that was a good decision.
*also during the warmer weather, I wear capris and shorts.
*nodsnods*
I don't get how people can wear those during the winter! Also hi. ^.^
I wear tights below them, tbh. XD
That sounds like a good idea, but for me, I'd wear my sweats. *nods*
Your characters sound nice, thought I'd mention. :)
Scarlet can be a bit mean sometimes. But we're like sisters, so that's okay. I know she still cares. :P
hi hope.
The two got much more lively once they got in conctact with Sven's. ^^ He's got such awesome characters, but I doubt I can get him on here...
... remember the 'rock' Aquila found? That's one of his OCs. :)
Hi Fera. :)
Sven is a cool name. *and not because it's the reindeer from Frozen either* It just sounds cool. :)
Speaking of cool and colder weather, it's gotten cooler over here. Time to bring out the sweaters and hoodies! ^.^
hi. how're you?
*would also like to learn more about the statue caracter*
That's really cool. :)
Ooooh, I'll ask him for permission to post the bit he wrote.
He wrote the same story, but from his character's perspective. :)
Nuuuuh, not me again! 0.0
Er. Um.
...
I dedicate to writing. Because it's what brings us all together.
I'm doing okay. :) Lots of things are going okay, so I'm okay too.
Like last night's star gazing and coloring in that owl(even if it's actually been hard to figure out the feather colors :P). But I photocopied it and started to make that one all colorful. Like stained glass style with rainbow colors. ^.^
Sounds lovely, Lila. :)
Hear hear!
Sorry. ^.^' I noticed and could have gotten it, but I didn't think anyone was going to get it first.
If he does, can you link it to me? I think it would be cool to read! :D
Yeah, I'm imagining a pink sky with the owl being rainbow. ^.^ And the colors are going to be placed randomly, so it'll be a surprise how it looks until I finish!
Ooh, but I already started on the eyes, with are all the warm colors. Red, orange, and yellow. It looks pretty already. ^.^
*facepalms, only now realizing her mistake*
I read your first comment too fast.
If he lets you post it, let me know!
Is what I would have said. ^.^'
He said yes. :)
Here you go:

*is tired and feels like she's talking too much*
I mean, I actually have to make a limit for myself. Six comments in a row is the maximum amount before I tell myself to wait until someone else comments so
*stops unless someone comments before she posts this*
