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...

*winds up analysing how if soul mates were a thing then we would all be that single shoe, searching for our pair, not knowing we need them*
*further analyses this, and thinks about some people only need one shoe, so maybe that would represent asexuals, because they don't need a shoe pair, their owner only needs one shoe for whatever reason*
*hmmm*)
@Keiron: Yeah, probably. However, there's only two or three left now.
@Aquila: Yeah. You can't go out of any doors. Either they won't let you through and are indestructible, or they do let you through but when you go through you just end up back in the house.
(I thought asexuals still like the idea of having a partner, as long as they are not aromantic? They just wouldn't like the process of making baby shoes. >.>)
(I meant asexual aromantics..)
(I just constantly forget to say "aromantic")
Aquila: It's not a normal door. It's the door to her mind. -points at me-
Swirl: No one but us can get through it, except invited. And no one can block it.
Me: ... not even me?
Swirl: ... well, except for you.
Me: Ha!
Aquila: You know you'd miss us.
Me: I remember the day some of Sven's stayed over. ... was hella distracting.
Aquila: But fun to see Paw run along the street. ^^
Me: True...
@Jai: Um
firstly, you're mixing up aromantics adn asexuals (sorry. only pointing it out for visibility purposes)
and secondly, for the record, if I never had anybody ever I would get very lonely. I do require other shoes. I just don't require other shoes in the way many people do.
^oh, you fixed that. :) Sorry.
@Aquila: :) Haha, you've confused me. XD
Aquila: Yes! I confuse real people now!
Me: You always do that. You confuse me.
Aquila: I do?
Me: Yes, like when you randomly got a given name.
Aquila: Hehe, I'm so goood.
Swirl: I want a given name, too!
Me: I know, but... I don't know!
Swirl: -glares at me-
(Hmmm.. *frowns*
*mumbles*)
-both OCs watch Silente frown and mumble-
Aquila: Do you think she's fine?
Swirl: Maybe she ate something wrong...
Me: She can read you!
Aquila: Do you think so? I'm not sure, why would she mumble, then?
Swirl: Maybe she talks to her food?
Me: Stop it!
@Jai: :( Did I disrupt your lovely metaphor?
For the record, I don't believe that shoes go around trying to find their matching pair anyway. I believe that they live in a world where it's ordinary for shoes not to come in matching pairs, and they go around trying to find shoes that go well with them. If you succeed in finding the correct other shoe, you don't end up with an identical pair, but you end up with a pair that work well together. :)
I guess you don't even need a pair, technically. Maybe there are many-feeted peoples in this other world. :)
( MY shoe fits perfectly and we walk in sync looking beautifully :P <3 )
@Keiron: :) :)
(*grunts*)
@Jai: :/
( skype being the bitch it is decides dropping every 2 minutes is a good way to tell me it needs an update well no skype it's a good way to tell me you're a dick )
@Keiron: :( :(
Reminds me a lot of my experience with yahoo - though it only really acted up with Dragona. Maybe they know when it matters... >.>
( I don't use yahoo for anything...
I need it to update like now please... ))
I already had yahoo as email, so when the other thing we were on was stopped, I got him to move on to that one cause it was no bother for me. ^^
( skype is good ... when it works... )
((I don't use Yahoo or Skype . . . though I have a few Skype accounts. ))
(HA! FINALLY! SUCK IT WRITERS BLOCK! Song.)
Yay Silente! ^^
I have skype, too, now. ^^
(*nods at Aq*
*goes to have an alone party*
*a part alone*)
*hugs Jai :) :)
It's awesome. :) :)
(*hugs starry eyes back* thanks :) Writers block lost!)
@Jai: :) Yay!
-quotes kids show she grew up with- It rhymes, and what rhymes is good!
(you can add me on skype if you want :P keironmate :D )
(Nooooooooooo.
Every month since June 2014 has had at least one song on BTW.
Except for July 2015 -_-)
@Jai: :(
(Grrrr..)
( :( it was a good song though ? )
*bounces in on space hopper* I fell asleep XD Wow.
(Hey Sleepy Draggie.)
Hi Dragona! ^^
A SICK JAR PURS is an anagram of Jurassic Park.
Hi.
Watched a 2013 video interview from CD Projekt RED about Cyberpunk 2077. He was discussing how they're not sure what type of game mechanics the game will have, but he did talk a bit about the importance of the character.
The example he aused is that the characters will have history, and say you have a character who had two brothers but one died, the other brother may contact you at one point, and mention said brother.
But maybe you didn't have a brother, and the game will be different for you.
But basically, your characters will have a backstory that you can choose.
... if Cyberpunk 2077 means they want to publish it in 2077, then you've got to admire their thorough planning.
(*casually taking to sisters boyfriend while she face times him*)
@Jai: :P
*cuddles Johanna, Jai and Star, if they wish* :)
@Johanna Let's hope they got one of the numbers wrong, and wait for a 2017 release! :)
8cuddles Kas back :)*
What you don't like cuddling what is this where is the real Star what did you do to her?
(*cuddles kas back*
@Star it's the most I've ever spoke to the boy.)
@Kas: I slit her throat. Then chopped her into little pieces, roasted them and ate them. :)
She tasted of buble mixture.
(Nah, I'm usually fine with online cuddling. I just don't think about the actual cuddling part too much.)
@Jai: :P
Kas earlier I was playing a game as the ex-Cerberus vanguard and I got sync killed by Banshees like six waves in a row. :P
@Jai :)
@Star -___-
@Draggie HUMANITY FIRST!!!!!!
*HILARITY
...
I have problems.
I mean...
Damn.
-cuddles Kas back-
Meh, don't worry. You can have both! All you need is hilarious humans. :)
Night all!
Good night, Johanna!
@Kas: . . . ?
Oh my god my head is spinning so much. OH MY GOD STOP!!! Tanya, stop!!!
@Jai I thought you had a Darquesseesque being in your head. *nods*
Did I just invent a new word?
* @Star
If everyone's gone... good night!
Oh my god. No. No, just remembered something -_-
( I'm not gone ... I just was distant)
Ah okay. Well, I'm off to sleep now, good night!
( goodnight... )
I was in NYC and saw Amazing Grace.
Now we walked around after and again ended up by the theatre that plays Phantom
Now this has happened every time since December, minus obviously going to the theatre for the show in January.
So in June I did Angel of Music as my last performance in drama camp, stunning our directors that I can sing.
July we went to see On The Town, somehow I ended up again by Phantom.
Now today....
In December we did Times Square, Rockerfeller Center, the tree, Toys R Us ect and ended up on the block Phantom is on and I said how I was so excited to go.
Weird? All but the day we saw the show we ended up going totally without thinking of going.
What the hell i'm not a roboot!!!

Hey Star.
I'm alright, amazingly enough not tired.

And with that I take my leave.

And thus continues my quest to get the N7 Shadow.
*nods* Fours, John. :)
My dog just had scrambled egg for his breakfast XD

( How are you both ? :P
*is going to ignore the reason for leaving*)
@Dragona: O_o
>
@Keiron: :) Good, thanks. Busy. You?
( I 'm good :D a bit tired as I'm just upc but i'll fix that with a shower in a minute or 10:P hehe what you busy on hw ? :P )
(*melts into the bed*
*sighs*)
@Keiron: Lots of stuff. :P
:) Hey Jai.
Good morning! ... yes, I know it's pretty late for morning. But I just woke up. ^^
( It's never too late for morning Aq :P it's always morning somewhere)
True that, but here it's noon. XD
( do your characters ever tell you something about themselves you didn't really need to know... :P
you still have a solid 10 minutes till noon no? )
(Yep to both. ^^ )
( ah it's still morning then :P even at 4pm it's morning in my book :P hehe
and ughh it's like he told me something cool then went on to weird things and I'm just like shh
Con: Not my fault you can't take the truth.
I can take it, I just would rather not hear it.
Con: You say it like it's a bad thing... I can access all your memories... I know everything about you if I want to .
And me you if I want to... but the fun part is finding out not being told
Con: fair point... shut up)
@Keiron: Yes.
Morning, Aquila. :)
Morning Star!
Aquila: How the heck do you access their memory? Hers is pretty well hidden to us. 0.0
Swirl: ... maybe if we tickle her a lot...
Me: No!
(Con: he only locks up one thing... everyone could see any of it but this one thing... it distracts them from the real thing, quite literally an open book.)
Aquila: Meeeeh. At least I can get her to buy a bright pink jumper just cause an eagle is on it.
Me: -glares-
(Con: He locks me out of the control room apart from when he's frying his circuits... aka he doesn't listen to my advice at all.)
Aquila: I didn't need to advise her to buy it. I just went: Eagle. Ea-gle. EAGLE! Until she gave in. :P
Me: ... it's VERY pink and has a huge 'Hello' in gold across the chest... and a small eagle in gold above that...
Aquila: Eagle! :D
( Con: oh... he'd just shut me up then, just because he doesn't, doesn't mean he doesn't know how... he's made that quite clear.
You were telling me to kill someone...
Con: they're going to die anyway.
It was me.
Con: ANd?
You would die too.
Con: SO?
do you want to die?
Con: No...
Well then shut up, we have something brilliant to live for now don't we.
Con: you do.
You have Juvia now.
Con: I suppose. Fine. )
Aquila: -blinks-
Swirl: -blinks-
Me: -blinks-
Me: ... nice to agree with you two every now and again.
( we agree sometimes ... :P )
Me: Also, nice to see I'm not the only one on the blogs who talks to their OCs! :)
Aquila: You're not alone off the blogs, either.
Me: Mhmmm, but they don't know him.
Aquila: ... I wish we could convince the others to come here, too.
Me: You know he doesn't let them out that often.
Aquila: But they are fun! ... and they have cookies.
Me: ... ah, so you want cookies.
Aquila: You knew that. I always want cookies.
Me: -sighs- -hands her a cookie-
Aquila: Yay!
Swirl: -holds out hand-
Me: -hands her one, too-
( Con: Sven? :P ...
Just because you remember his name, doesn't merit a reward... we still don't know him... Also I like to think everyone can talk to their characters just some choose not to.
Con: that sounds boring for them.)
(*experimentally pokes Swirl*)
My friends have their OCS talk in their heads.
Haha Dan talks in Cat's head when sge's doing maths homework and stuff, and she can't do centre on it because he won't shut up, so she has to play music to shut him up but she can't concentrate with music on either.
It's an issue. :P
[12/09 11:31] Catherine: Like, last night, I was doing maths and he was literally sitting there saying "why are you doing this? This is pointless. You're so bad at this. Why is it taking you so long? Jesus, you're so boring. You need a life. You'll never use this shit. This is like, worse than anything I've ever seen you do. It's a Friday night, go out with your friends. Oh, yeah, you don't have any. Is that why you spend so much time doing maths? When are you ever going to use this shit? What the fuck is a surd, anyway? I've never heard of one. I don't need it. You won't need it. You're wasting your time. Go get a fucking life. Just kill yourself or something. Seriously. It would be so much more useful than /surds/. No one in the history of mankind has used a surd in real life. And you feel the need to do pages of surds. How many pages have you done? Six? That's ridiculous. Seriously. How are you even alive?"
Me: I... couldn't not talk to them. Look at them. They are lovely!
Aquila: - smiles brightly-
Swirl: -arches eyebrow-
Me: And yup, that's his name. And he's got a lot of great OCs. ... that are all more dangerous than mine. XD
Swirl: Not all of them are more dangerous than me.
Me: You're hardly ever serious, though.
Swirl: -creates a cloud that rains glitter and stays above Silente's head-
My characters don't talk in my head, although if I'be veen roleplating a lI'mt I'm constantly thinking of what they would think/say/do. I can talk to them if I want, but it's a conscious thing.
Mine are quiet when I concentrate on other stuff.
Aquila: We just go to the nest then.
Me: ... don't mess up my sofa.
Aquila: No worries. :D
Me: ... now I do worry.
Me: Also, Swirl... don't do that.
Swirl: Do what?
Me: You're the only one who makes cursed glitter clouds. Playing innocent won't work.
Swirl: Aww... -allows the cloud to vanish-
(I try to avoid talking to them. They give me migraines with their bickering. I prefer to just have them sat quietly..
*looks up at the glitter*
*gets glitter in eye*
OWWY!)
Me: At least you're brightly glittering, now?
@Aquila: Yeah. Me too.
But Catherine hallucinates, so *shrugs*.
(Owwwwwww mah eye.
Okay now I have all my characters waking up and noticing other authors allow their characters to talk..)
Aquila: Yay, we're starting a revolution!
Me: That isn't necessarily good, depending ont he characters...
Swirl: Freedom for characters!
Me: Nuuuuuh...
(I have too many characters! They aren't allowed to talk! They argue instead of talking!)
@Jai: :( :(
Me: Well, good luck stopping them now...
Aquila: Come heeeere, we have cooookies... -lures them-
Swirl: Maaaaany cooookies... -joins in-
(Ughhhhhhhhh. Fine I'll let three and only three talk.
Right...
James is too sexist..
Onwa hates me..
Uhhhhh.. Michael just.. meh..)
Me: I'm suddenly glad I only have two. XD
Swirl and Aquila: -set up a table full of plates with cookies-
(Annabelle is a no.
Ashlea.. sure. Ashlea 1.
Hack is quite cool..
Kiana nope.
AltSil is a nope.
Normal Sil maybe..)
Aquila: -whispers- So many new people! :D
Swirl: -whsipers- Do you think they'll like cookies?
Aquila: -whispers- EVERYONE likes cookies. -nods-
well hello ^_^
((Morgan says he knows a person who doesn't like cookies.
. . .
Oh gosh now apparently my characters are joining in. XD))
Hi Fera! ^^
Aquila: -pokes Fera- You have characters too, right?
(Orpheus.. nah.
Manuel nope.
Erica nah..)
hey aqui ! :)
fera: *looks at aquila* yes? *smiles*
Aquila: Tell them we have coooookies. -grins-
fera: Tell who exactly? *smiles*
Aquila: Everyone! -nods- Also, hello. ^^
ferA: okie dokie *chuckles a bit* OH yes hello, who might you be? *observes*
Aquila: I'm me, of course, who else would I be? :D
Swirl: Oh dear lord, she's attempting humour again...
Aquila: I don't attempt it, I rule it. -nods-
(Okay. Ash, Hack, Sil then..
CALLING ALL GLOONIES.. This.. is something you should read. Thank you.)
( See star they just have to be known that they can be talken to :P hehe mine is mostly conscious ...
Con: thats what you think ....*steals all the cookies*)
fera: I like your sense of humor *chuckles* what are you doing on the street this late? *smiles*
Swirl: -watches Con attempt to steal more than he can handle- -arches an eyebrow as he gets crushed under cookies-
Aquila: We're on a street? -looks around surprised-
(Ashlea: *takes a cookie and nibbles it*)
fera: Mmhmmm *laughs a bit*
(Con: *opens a portal to his shadow realm which is bigger on the inside and the cookies start avalancheing in*)
Aquila: Cooookies... -tilts head- You know, this reminds me A LOT of Krieg... totally not going in there. >.>
Swirl: I doubt it's like with Krieg, really. Look at the guy. He doesn't look half as dangerous.
Aquila: I have no desire to be beheaded but alive, once more.
@Keiron: Yeah, I can consciously talk to them, but it's not the same as not being able to do homework because your characters won't shut up.
@Jai: *wouldn't audition due to lack of songwriting ability :P*
fera: *noms on dozens of cookies at once*
(*nods at star because that's fine*)
( *wants to audition* *doesn't have any idea what to do so prob won't*
Con: I'm dangerous, unlike you'd believe. )
Swirl: Oh, you might be, but Krieg could still be more dangerous. -shrugs-
Aquila: I'm not dangerous. :)
Swirl: ... you shouldn't be so happy about it.
(Con: Until I meet him i'm saying i'm more dangerous. The Necromancer king lol Not really. )
fera: *looks at aqui*
Aquila: I'm really harmless!
Swirl: ... which means defenseless. You're not even armed!
Aquila: I do have a bow... somewhere...
Swirl: -sighs, holding her broom-
Swirl: -opens door and pulls on someone's leg, dragging them along-
( Con: I'm extremely unharmless.
He doesn't play around usually...)
Aquila: It's fine, I'm good at running away. :D
Krieg: Swirl... what the sod are you doing...
fera: *shakes head* what :P
Swirl: You have to meet someone.
Krieg: I was bussy you know! Do you know how hard it is to get troll snot out of your hair?
Swirl: ... no, and I don't want to know. Also, you're HEAVY.
Con: Me? ... You really want me to fight him ? *shadows recklessly whipping around him*
fera: *turns to aqui* what is going on?
Swirl: -arches eyebrow- Do you fight everyone you meet? 0o
Aquila: Swirl is dragging Krieg into our cookie party. -nods-
Con: Well how else am I meant to know if i'm better or not?
krieg: *krieg cogs his head towards con* I can do that trick too *he lets the blood flow out of his arms forming razor sharp tendrils of his own*
krieg: But uuughhhh effort.... cookies?
Aquila: Cookies! -points at half-empty table-
Con: *opens his portal showing a mountain of cookies before closing it again smirking*
krieg: *he carefully moves two of his tendrils to grab a couple of cookies without touching any of the other cookies as to not contamenate them* Thank youuuu
fera: oh...hello krieg ^_^
Con: *the portal closes on his tendrils making him drop the cookies into a dark abyss*
Krieg: olla *he grinds the cookies vigorously between his teeth* mmmmmmmnjammmm
Aquila: Everyone likes cookies. -nods-
Swirl: Could you pleeaaaase walk yourself? -takes a break-
(Me: Wasn't Krieg after the ones on the table?)
fera: hello *sits down*
( I dunno)
(*researching how much cubase is*
*HOW MUCH???*
*Oh, that's the latest version*
*researches cubase 5 as I THINK that's the one I know*
*£38ish on eBay?*
*much better*)
krieg: I took the ones on the table, pff novice.. *he stomps his heel against con'
s chest forcing him to stumble leading his head into one of his rifts shutting them on his neck dropping con's lifeless body on the ground*
*he opens a fresh rift pulling the head back out and balancing it on his finger*
hello mister head.
krieg: you are now my pet, don't worry you're not dead.
Aquila: And THAT is why I stay away from rifts and other realities...
Con: Hello *his body dissipates into shadows and makes its way into his eyes turning them black* *razor sharp tendrils come from his eyes stabbing him repeatedly in the face*
krieg:*points con's visage towards his body* See, it's still breathing.
fera: *smirks at the scene*
(Con: Did I forget to mention I'm pure shadow... )
krieg: that's what i call a sharp glare...
(*hmmmmmms*)
Aquila: ... great, now there's two of them...
Swirl: Hmm, I thought they might get along, being similar and all.
Aquila: -shrugs and eats a cookie-
Krieg: I can fix the wounds, but really you don't want me to have too many. it would be very bad mojo for you mister head.
Aquila: ... you left the door open, right? Just in case.
Swirl: Yep.
(*sighs and vacated the area*)
Con: You don't want to break my Baton *eyes the thing laying on the ground where his body just was* I should really grow a new one of them, *grunts concentrating a tiny body and hands come out of his neck*
fera: What's this fighting about?
Aquila: ... you look like one of those things in cars with the bopping heads...
Swirl: ... I'd tell you not to provoke him, but you're right. 0o
krieg: ew... that's gross... -he kicks the disfigured mutant away from him and froces the black blood into the stab wounds in his face-
Aquila: Cookies, I think. 0o Even though we still have plenty. ^^
krieg: Did you claim i'm better or something swirl?, cause that would explain him.
I ded to someone who i can't really say yet, so it's kind of a pointless ded, except I know who i am dedding to so it means something to me :P *laughS*
Swirl: Um. No. Never. >.>
Aquila: -whispers to Krieg- Yes she did.
Con: *goes flying and his limbs start growing longer till they are fully grown* There are no more cookies in existence *shadows envelope them all taking them to his realm*
She did just that.
(Fera that's twice just say who.)
krieg: *krieg opens two portals one near swirls nose and one near his hand* bad swirl *he flicks her nose while still laying down on the ground*
