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...

krieg:screw you Sven, just screw you.
Me:i'll pass on that i'm not a nut
krieg:it's comfy here!
Con: *reaches out and shakes* Conductor Remnance Necromancer extraordinaire, psychopath and overall shadow potato.
Me: My point was it's easier to shake hands with someone standing if you stand as well?
Swirl: -gives up on the ignored glitter- -looks for left over cookies instead-
krieg: now you are holding my hand, could you help me up?...bit to lazy to do so myself.
me:i just knew it...
Con* pulls him to his feet* see just as easy as standing up.
Aquila: ... gotta remember that one.
krieg: less effort though...
me: I...can't deny that...
krieg:see i'm a clever creation aren't i?
me:..... eh
Krieg:...you runt.
Me: Sven, you should've imagined them less swear words and more manners. :P
Aquila: Dunno, it's funny. :P
Swirl: Mhmmm. ^^
hey sven, excuse me for not welcoming you earlier, i didn't know it was you *offers hand shake* ^_^
(Javla hellevetta ... *sighs* ...
*hugs jai...*)

Bad: Faust , Gnash, Evan and Messiah
Counts fingers...;-; too many
( if I want a character I usually come up with them... that way they can be who I want not some construct someone else thought of )
that's a lot :P I've got fera, xenoth, feraton albeit, hiei, cannibal, black mist, zorg, the nothingness and a lot of others i really can't be bothered remembering right now :P
I tend to forget some of Sven's, at times... ^^
( i do too con, that's why i have too many to for my fragile mind xD it's an oc machine)
Me: It's fun to hear him go: ... I did it again... :c
me: Shaddup! :c
Me: -shuts up- -grins, anyway-
Me: -hums 'oops I did it again'-
(bbs, hungry. ^^)
HI SVEN!
*is assuming Krieg's Sven*
Hi everyone and anyone else who's on.
Love the fact you guys also talk to your characters. ^.^
... I'm always fighting with Scarlet, and LavTC is kinda based off of myself, so she's basically me with powers but sometimes has different emotions going on for her than for me.
Though that doesn't mean I don't feel what she does. Then Scarlet get's on my case for not doing anything about it and- stopping there. *nods*
Also, Scarlet /is/ technically a voice in my head, so she's not only a character. Her character was based off of her, as mine was for me, so she also has her own personality and stuffs. Yeah.
hi hope.
Hi F. :)
I also have a lot of OC's that I just don't use as often as my two main ones.
Although those OCs are truly mine cause I created their world too.
Then there's OCs I created from Star's story. ^.^
how're you hope? ^_^
Cheesus that was an excited Hi xD ello durrrr yes i am sven
I'm doing okay. :) How about you?
@Sven: Yeah well, you're new, so I felt obligated to give you a nice greeting. ^.^ Don't know the name of that character of yours, but I really like the power of your stone one. That Aquila used for her 'finds a rock' story. ^.^
meh ^_^
Ah yes Bastion or Bast for everyone that realizes he's just an un-fluffy cuddle bear
Yeah she asked my permission to show you it xD
Sorry to hear that, F...
Bast sounds like a cool character. :) thanks for granting permission! I want to know more about him now. :P
I was like 'awww' when he tried to move and Aquila ran away, and it was in his perspective and he seemed sorry to scare her off. ^.^
(Sorry for run on sentence :P)
I have returned, no longer about to eat you all!
... not that I'd ever do that. Nooo. >.>
(*hugs Lavy*)
Sooooo, what's everyone doing now? Is it only you two on?
Nvm. That answered my question. :P
Wb, Aq!
*hugs Jai back*
Hi Lila! ^^
(Attempting to understand computers)
First question still applies to all! Whatchya'll doin?
And how are you, Aquila and Jai?
i am just talking and watching videos.
Computers are complicated creatures. *nodsnods*
:P
Cool, F. :)
I'm fine, and I'm talking to you lot. Might possibly do some colouring in a bit. ^^ You?
krieg: making notes....
me:trying to figure out what to do >_>
(I'm okay.
And yes they are. Luckily "The Boy" is helping. (That's Keiron btw. I used to call him "The Boy")
*Huggles Lavy*)
-sneaks up behind Krieg and Sven and pokes both their shoulders, before feigning innocence-
nah not really cool.
*smiles at Aquila's interaction with her friend*
*huggles Jai back*
I remember reading you call him that before. ^.^ Cool that he's helping. :)
I'm just sitting around, procrastinating so I won't have to go to bed anytime soon. :P ^.^' Also playing a game. *nods*
-both me and krieg bite into one of the fingers each- grrrrrr
Nuuuuuuuh... XD
(*nods back at Lav* rp?)
-grins- How to fish for boys. Poke them and wait for them to bite. :P
Better than doing nothing?
*looking on the bright side*
*probably not helping*
... Stop putting thoughts in my head, Scarlet! >.<
Scar: /Finally/! You noticed. I want to greet Sven too.
*nods* Hey, Sven. Welcome to crazyland. :P
-_- She's teasing. We call this place Blogland. :) But we /are/ pretty crazy. :P
Sorry, top part of that comment was to Fera.
Okay, Jai. I'll try today. :)
Scar: Whoop whoop! Yes!
Well, someone's excited... Not saying I'm /not/ but Scarlet's happy I'm going to try again. ^.^'
yeah i figured. meh. Doesn't matter.
*wonders*
Should I change my name back to have both my character names?
(*raises an eyebrow* Scarlet seems excited to fall for her best friend.)
Erica: *sighs, lounging around*
*she lost sight of Lav and Scar when the ball ended*
*she hates not being able to see the mischief she causes*
Heya Scarlet, is Cyan in there too? (red and blue forms purple color ahum)
(Scar: Don't take it that way! I just like role playing. Unlike the one in control of our body most of the time. *side glances at a certain someone*
Author: -_-)
*Scarlet and Lavender are strolling down the path together, holding hands((are we going to continue from the time of the ball then? If not, then they don't hold hands))*
*Lavender seems to be more animated than at the ball, chatting happily and waving an arm as if she were describing something; they don't notice Erica*
(*laughs* sure.)
(Continue from the ball)
Erica: *spots them and grins broadly*
Ahh. There you are.
*eyes the two*
Hmm..
((Scar: Nup, just me and Lav over here. *grabs LavenderTC in a headlock and noogies lightly with a grin*
LavTC: Hey! *struggles, but is smiling*
Author: TC just means The Character, just soz you know. :) I'm also called Lav here, so it's easy to confuse us. Scarlet, don't be mean.
Scarlet: *releases Lav* Come on, why'd ya gotta ruin the fun.
Because we're in the middle of something. Stop distracting me if you want to role play so bad. :P
Scar: Oh right. My bad.
*sighs*))
Sorry, Jai. Be right back. Moving to my room and I'll have to reconnect to wifi. I'll reply then. ^.^'
(Okay :)
*Scarlet steps a little in front of Lavender protectively, glaring at Erica*
Oh, it's the witch. What do /you/ want?
((Scarlet, stop being mean! I swear, her character's worse than /she/ is!))
Lav: *pokes her head around Scarlet to see, curious* Were you looking for us?
Erica: *laughs musically*
You make me sound so horrible. I just want to apologize for bumping into you at the party
*now that she can see them she increases their attraction to each other*
Scarlet: Well, /I/ for one won't accept it. I still don't trust you.
*Lavender manages to get around Scarlet, who then wraps an arm around her shoulders, holding her close; now they're standing next to each other*
Lav: *looks uneasily at them both, hoping Scarlet won't start a fight*
Erica: Surely you needn't trust someone to accept their apology?
( :P :D
*sighs* I think I might look into getting a new phone battery for Gemmy It doesn't charge good now )
Lav: *speaks softly* Come on, Scarlet, she just wants to apologize... Besides, it was only an accident, right? *looks to Erica*
Scarlet: *eyes soften slightly, but waits for Erica to answer before responding*
((Hi K. *waves* That's nice of you to do that for her. ^.^))
Erica: It was only an accident.
( *waves to lav* Yeh... I suppose: P hehe )
(I'm sure he's doing it all without any personal gain in mind... )
Lola and Simone have identified me as the more feline-friendly of the guests.
Lav: *turns back to Scarlet, staring up at her*
Scarlet: *can see Lav out of the corner of her eye but tries to ignore her for the moment* *sighs and mutters* Fine. *a little gentler, but still reluctant, adds* Yeah, okay. I accept your apology.. *finally looks down to see Lavender smiling; she offers a small smile back*
( if by personal gain you mean making myself happy because it makes Gemma happy and it also means her phone lasts longer when charging on skype then yes I have a personal agenda for doing it )
((*waves to Moss* Lola and Simone would be right, from what I know about you. :P Can't say I'd know the guests you speak of though, so eh.))
(*cuddles Fabi*)
Erica: *smirks but quickly changes it to a smile*
Why thank you.
((Had a feeling that was it, K. :P Still. *repeats what she said earlier*))
(That is precisely what I meant. ^^ -gives cookie-
I tend to pretend I'm being selfish when doing something for others. It's rarely believable, but it makes it easier for them to accept it. -nods-)
( :D :P it would make her happier too ... soo it's not all for me )
(I knooooow. ^^ But if you have a reason for yourself, she'll be happier accepting it. ^^)
(([waves back at Lav] The other guest is my dad, so yeah, they're right.))
(([cuddles Jai]))
Scarlet: Yeah yeah, so if that's all, I think we'd better get on with our walk now. *starts walking around Erica, steering Lavender by the shoulders as she still has her arm around them* *speaks in a carefree, I-don't-really-mean-it way* Take care!
((@Moss: :) ))
(*cuddles Fabi back*)
Erica: *rolls her eyes*
Tata darling!
*will follow them sneakily*
*they walk for a short time before Scarlet drops her arm and slows their pace a little(cause Lavender would have had to speed walk to keep up with Scarlet's bigger steps)*
Lavender: *slightly out of breath* Scarlet, why were you being so mean? All she wanted was to apologize...
Scarlet: *pats Lav's head affectionately* You're too nice, Lav... Consider it an instinct. She's trouble and bad news-
Lav: Like you? *grins playfully*
Scar: *smirks and bumps her arm lightly* Joking aside, she's trouble in a different way. I can't place my finger on it, but we should be careful.
Erica: *is watching them (creep)*
*increases the attracting more*
*is determined to get them to kiss and so adds lust to the love*
Lavender: *nods* Okay... *looks at the ground as they walk*
Scarlet: *sighs and stops walking, grabbing Lav's arm to stop her and get her to look up* Look, I know what you're feeling now, but she's not someone who you should be friends with... Wait a minute. *notices something* Do you... /like/ me?
Lavender: *starts stuttering and fumbling over her words* N-no! Not really- I mean, maybe?- but I don't-
Scarlet: *chuckles* Calm down; you're so cute when you get nervous. *bites her lip, then leans in and kisses her forehead; speaks softly* I think- I like you too...
((And with that, I should probably stop it there. :P It's gotten to 1AM and I ought to be getting to sleep soon. Also, saying it right now, if they actually manage to kiss, Scarlet's gonna /kill/ Erica once she lifts the spell. (not really, but so mad that she'd want to) Also also, when she breaks the attraction, how long until they realize they've been tricked?
Oh, and congrats. You've actually managed to get ScarTA and LavTC feeling something...
ScarTA: -_- I don't know whether to be annoyed or cheering for them. Thank you, Jai. *sarcasm*
ScarTC: *censored because cursing*
*rolls eyes at both* /Now/ I'm confused. The whole thing with characters, authors, and having a pair of both in my head is making me question what's going on in my head right now. -_-))
**making it clear, Scarlet bites her own lip then kisses Lav's forehead. Soy sauce for any confusion.
Also also, I've gotten really tired. Will be going now. Night guys!(let's continue later, Jai!)
(xD There there scar.
Once the trick has been lifted any fake feelings will stop immediately. Any real emotions that may have developed due to the fake ones will remain. It's up to them to realize that they were tricked.)
-gives Lila a cookie-
( *hugs everyone* )
(-hugs back-)

(*hugs back* You're welcome.)
Mark: *xD seeeee, they can be adorable instead of Ewwie!*
*time skip?*
(XD oh gosh xD sounds like you had a brilliant time dug!
Did you see the BTG notice?)
(*hey Dugster!*)
(Okay, time skip ^.^)
Mark: *wakes up slowly from dreams of wolves and golden eyes*
*yawns, mumbling and pulling Clocky closer, hiding his face in her shoulder*
*sighs happily, too sleepy to realize he's hugging Clocky while she sleeps*
(And now back... to the future!!!)
Clocky: *awakens due to the sudden movement *
*groans groggily *
(Jack!!!!!!!! ^glomps and kisses repeatedly*)
(Hi Jac- *Chloe kisses him* Ewwwwww.)
Mark: *blinks at the noise, slightly confused*
*realizes he's hugging Clocky*
*lets go*
AHHHH! Sorry!!!
(Um... CHLOE!!! *is glomped and kisses repeatedly*
Hehe, hey Jai, hows you?)
(What Jai?)
Clocky: *blinks a few times* mark? It's okay...

Mark: Oh.. sorry.
(Whaaaaaaaat?)
Clocky: don't apologise *smiles*
Mark: *smiles gently back*
(Chloe, Jai, rp?)
(@Jacko sure :)
Clocky: I think we should go back *giggles*
(I would love to honey ^.^)
(Is Wolf available?)
(Inky Chloe?
Inky and WOlf at the bar?)
(Inks is still in the bar from when her and ed were there)
(Ok koala
Would Wolf like to join them?)
(Yes, wolf is free.)
Mark: probably..
*wonders if Cole has noticed the plethora of missing food*
MrBBWolf: *is at the bar, reading an ad for a job vacancy*
*barman wanted*
Ed: *still drunk* W... Wolfie?
MrBBWolf: *spins quickly, staring at Ed*
M-Mr Fletcher..
Ed: *smiles evilly* Hey Wolfie, I.. *hiccups* Inky, look...
*giggles* oh wolfie !
Cole: *goes to make food for himself and eira*
*there is a lot missing*
+growls* mark...
Clocky: *stands up* +offers him er hand*
MrBBWolf: *steps back slightly, smiling nervously, clutching the ad tightly*
H-Hello Inky.. Edward..
*doesn't like that smile*
Mark: *takes her hand, standing up*
Ed? *tilts head*
Clocky: that was fun
MrBBWolf: *breathes*
*forces himself to relax*
Mark: *packs the stuff up*
It was..We should get back.. what type of food do you like?
( omg ... we need a neural web emitter that can read your brain waves when listening to all kinds of music and when listening to music it would automatically change to what you most desired at that moment)
Clocky: I'm not fussy... But I do love meat *licks lips *
(That's be awesome!)
(@k sounds cool..)
Mark: *laughs*
Okay. That should be easy. Wolves or humans for getting back?
Clocky: hehe well I'm sure I can wait...
Mark: Humans then.
*takes her hand, picking up the basket and slowly walking back*
Clocky: *squuezws his hand and hums happily*
ED: *tries to stand and falls* ow. Yes darling?
(HEllo K)
Mark: *smiles at her humming, swinging their hands gently*
MrBBWolf: C-careful!
*helps him back up*
( Hehe I love my little invention moments... it wouldn't even be that hard... it'd just take a lot of calibration and compiling research on how the brain reacts to each type of music it'd play something from each category first and it would notice what you did and didn't like ...
*has a spark* oh the server ... vr... ai ... the possibilities)
Ed: Thanks Wolfie *grabs his arm with a grip perhaps too strong*
(Hi jack :D :P )
What's with that look darling?
Clocky. *laughs* this has been an awesome few days!
MrBBWolf: *winces, bearing the pain*
Y-you're welcome..
*guides Ed back to his seat*
Mark: *smiles*
It has. I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself.
Ed: nothing Inky, nothing. at. all *sits down* thanks Wolfie
Clocky: it's all because of youuuuu!
*frowns and stays quiet*
Mark: *laughs*
And yourself!
MrBBWolf: Y-you're welcome..
*has he let go?*
( could you imagine if we could tap into our imaginations ... real time rendering running off our brains ... transmitting to screens with dialog and our own little realities being played out like real things walking among them ...
Practicing magic, learning languages by going to the country... whilst never leaving your room... learning how to shoot... self defense... sword art online irl ... no death though.)
Clocky: nah..
Ed: *raises eyebrow at Inky* you ok? *he has Jai*
(That.. sounds a lot like a very sinister book I read..)
Mark: Yeah!
(Hmmmmm that's when I disagree with technological advancement
I want to go outside and be active
And also keep my mind private)
(First you need to map the brain though and find what does what, which is a long way off for that level)
MrBBWolf: *rubs his arm gently, slowly backing away*
Clocky: you made it special...
I'm fine *smiles*
Ed: *wolf appears in a chair at their table*
Ed: *is very drunk* s sure?
Mark: You are special...
MrBBWolf: *puts the crumpled ad back down*
MrBBWolf: *looks around, very confused*
*gets back up*
*nods and smiles *
Clocky: I'm really not...
( well it'd be private .... no one would be able to enter your world per say... you'd need to have a wan or lan network imagine for people who can't go outside though... people in comas, maybe you'd be able to reach them bring them out... maybe make blind people see for the first time, death people hear... possibly fix the neural pathway of a severely disabled person... backwards compatibility Alzheimer's )
Mark: I think you are.
( it's been mapped a lot already just not to the extent I need it to be mapped )
T: *Enters bar and stands behind wolf* Sit
Ed: If you say so
(There are ways of doing most of that already though)
(Nah mate
I'm quite happy with technology as it is)
Clocky: *blushss*
So wassup ed?
