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...

Superman. :)
(I dedicate to my boyfriend jack
He is.. Well... He is my soulmate
Even my parents say that I need him
He is so kind and caring and smart and funny... And god he has a dirty sense of humour
Which I love
I love every aspect of him
I love his narcissism
I love his sick jokes
I love it when his voice goes high an squeaky
I don't feel like I say how much he means to me enough
*cries* and I give him a hard time but he still sticks by me when a normal person would run miles
I feel terrible when I'm a right bitch to him but he still loves me a d makes everything okay
I love you jack)
Mark: *lifts his arm weakly, glancing at her*
..I'm sorry..
(Hear hear!)
Awwwwhhh. :) :) :) *hugs Chloe* Hear hear. :)
(Thank you Jai )
Clocky: *looks away* for what?
(Your not a right bitch Chloe!!!! Your the kindest, sweetest, most loving caring person I know!)
XD high and squeaky. I don't think I could do high and squeaky if I tried my voice is kinda deep. :)
*hugs Starfish* :) *feels kinda squirrel*
SICK WTF
(thanks star *hugs*
jack...)
(xD hi Jacko.)
Mark: calling you my friend..?
(Its true Chloe, I love you
*leaves properly*)
*hi Jai, sorry can't stay, bye
Is Clocky a man a woman or a clock???
(clcky s my profile pic)
clocky: why are you apologising for that? ts fine
(I love you jack)
(Bye Jacko.
@Draggie a woman.)
Mark: Cole said it upset you.

(please watch this jack)_
clocky: *forces a smile*
why would it upset me?
Mark: I don't know..
*lays his arms over his eye*
But Cole is better with emotions than me.. I trust his judgement..
clocky: *laughs forcefully* well he is silly becasuse you are my friend and there is no reason why that would upset ne
Mark: Then why are you lying?
@Dragona: :( :( :/
(XD I was just thinking "Is Dragona Dean in disguise . . . ?"
(in Supernatural there's this demon called Crowley and he called Sam 'moose' and Dean 'squirrel' for some reason.))
(*watching roleplay*)
*hopes for a litter of pocket watches extinguished*
clocky: im not lying...
*erm pretty sure isn't Dean* XD
Mark: You are. I might not be good with emotions, but I know when people are lying Clocky.
*was hoping that because Gethie = Geth Clocky = Clock* *wasn't even sure how the relationship would work XD*
@Dragona: XD Yeah, I'm prety sure you're not Dean, either.
(ehe right dragon XD)
clocky: why would I lie?
Mark: To spare my feelings? Look.. I do like you. Very much. But.. I want to take this slowly.. to be friends, get to know each other, see if we still like each other after a while.. see if it's not just lust. Then.. maybe take it further..
I WANTED A CUTE LITTLE BABY POCKETWATCH.
((@Dragona: Clocky is cool though.))
(awww thanks star ^.^
THAT WOULD BE ADORABLE)
Clocky: I understand
(xD it would be.)
Mark: You understand.. but that doesn't mean it doesn't upset you.
((Quote of the day from Mark.
*nods*
That is so true.))
Clocky: well theres not much I can do
Mark: I know.. I'm sorry.. I am..
:) Hey Elleni! :)
Haven't seen you in a while!
clocky: you don't have anything to apologise for
(ELLENI!)
(Ellie!!! *tacklecuddles!!!*)
Hey Elleni :)
Mark: I do. I upset you.
(How are you Ellie?
Orpheus: *hugs her tightly*)
clocky: but it isn't your fault
(Orpheus: Hello Elleni. *smiles*)
Mark: Then who's is it?
(I'm okayyyyyyy.)
@Elleni: :) Okay, I think.
You?
I'm good bouncy and happy and yeah. :)
(I am good)
clocky: its mine
(I am good)
clocky: its mine
(I am good)
clocky: its mine
(I am good)
clocky: its mine
Mark: No it isn't!
clocky: it isn't
now if you have enough energy to argue you have enough energy to let me take you back to your house
Mark: *huffs and sighs*
clocky: come on, youl catch a cold
(Yeah Dragona i feel kinda squirrel all the time.
And btw, what of yours is 12ft?
Mine is even bigger than 12 ft no matter what it is)
Mark: *sighs and struggles to his feet, still hiding his junk*
You're still upset.
clocky: I will have to deal with it *gets up and offers a hand*
Mark: But that's not the point..
(Hey sid, Chloe, hi-jacked Keiron's account :3
Not really. At his house trying to get my fees sorted.)
(xD thought you'd convinced him to call me sid too then.)
(hey gemmyh ^.^)
clocky: what is the poin t then~
Mark: You aren't MEANT to be upset..
(Hehe)
(*cuddles Gemmy*)
Clocky: oh aren't I?
Mark: No.
clocky: why shouldn't I?
Mark: because.. because I don't want you to be..
clocky: well theres n ot much you can do to change me
MY HEADPHONE WIRE IS 12FT XD
But um
Being bigger would be bad.
It's already too long.
XD
Mark: Right.. yeah..
(*still watching*)
(*hugs starry*)
:) *hugs Jai* =)
(Yey! It's gemmy again!)
(Well still his account but i changed my name and picture xD)
(*rolls eyes, smiling*)
clocky : *shrugs*
(hehe draggie XD
hehe goodone gem,!)
*hugs Starfish* :)
My dog has his head on a memory foam pillow XD
Mark: *sigh* Look..I really am sorry
*POKES SUPERMAN* I STILL HAVE THAT SONG IN MY HEAD. :P
clocky: it isn't your fault!
(*pokes the squirrel man* sorry!)
@Gemma: XD XD oh dear.
My brother and Lizzie got into an argument (the kind where you make comebacks).
My brother's comebacks are ceasing to make sense so I think Lizzie might have won. XD
(My sister and Lizzie once got into a real good argumentt. My sister's good with comebacks.)
Mark: it is! I upset you..
:) *hugs Dragona back*
:) :)
Pretty much over half my family have memoryphone pillows . . .
Same here Starfish. :) I don't though. :)
(I don't think I do either..)
@Dragona: Snap! :)
I actually don't like havign a good pillow because I'm used to a rubbish one . . .
*nods at Jai* You'd probably know if you did?
Then again, Lizzie's family didn't know they could play Blu-Ray on their DVD player . . . *frowns*
clocky: well maybe I need to learn how to suck it up
(@star probably xD)
Mark: Please don't see it like that..
*nods at Jai :P* I think they're fairly expensive compared to normal pillows.
((Awwwh Clocky and Mark.))
THAT'S LIKE ME WITH MY MATRESS STARFISH XD IT'S OLD AND KIND OF RUBBISH BUT I SO PREFER IT TO A MEMORY FOAM MATRESS LIKE I WAS OFFERED BECAUSE IT'S WHAT I'M USED TO XD Same with my pillow actually. :)
(I do just fine with my cheaper pillows..)
(My cats licking my face!!!)
clocky: well how am I supposed to see it?
SUPERMAN JUST FLY AWAY XD
@Dragona: OMG SNAP!!!
@Jai: Yeah . . . I think my siblings just tried one out once and they were like "WOAH THAT IS SO COOL CAN I HAVE ONE FOR MY BIRTHDAY???"
And - O_O
Mark: I don't know! It's not your fault Clocky.. I'm sorry for upsetting you.. I just.. not had a girlfriend before. I don't know what the Hell I'm doing or how you're meant to do this so I'm doing what everyone else does, taking it slow.
Apparently Lady Gaga don't want no paper gangsta.
Good to know.
*continues cutting out five-pointed stars*
(Now she's using my arm as a pillow.)
@Jai: :)
(*continues watching :)*)
*wonders why anyone would want a paper gangsta* *can kind of imagine they'd be weak and flimsy* *and idk would probably drown in the rain* *and idk they're gangstas so guns and violence probably not good either* *actually they'd be terrible gangstas they could be killed with a bucket of water* *no wonder Lady Gaga doesn't want one* *but tbh she wore a meat dress so she's kind of weird so she probably DOES want one but is trying to make herself seem cool*
clocky: does everyone take it slow? don't knbow... ive never had a boyfriend before
Mark: I think so? Don't you want to..?
@Dragona: XD
I think it's a metaphor. XD
"Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavour
But don't have no follow through
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign no monkey papers
I don't do funny business
Not interested in fakers
Don't want no paper gangsta"
. . .
I don't usually listen to her for her lyrics. XD
(*still watching*)
BUT WHAT IS IT A METAPHOR FORRRRRRR??? WHAT DOES PAPER GANGSTA MEANNNNNNN? WHY IS IT EVEN IN A SONNGGGGG? *doesn't understand*
clocky: well you want to take it slow so I want to
@Dragona: XD *leaves it open for your interpretation*
Mark: Are you sure..? I don't want to upset you..
*interprets as idk do you know when you make a chain of people holding hands and you can cut them out and stuff? a bit like that but with guns knives and bandanas*
clocky: what if I said that I didn't? what wuld you do then? it would make you feel uncofrotable and I don't want that
@Dragona: XD XD
Mark: Please just.. tell me the truth?
clocky: *says nothing*
How else could you interpret paper gangsta? XD
Brb taking my dog for a walk in the rain yay
Mark: PLEASE Clocky!!!
clocky: *winces and looks at the floor*
Mark: *grabs her head, carefully turning it towards her*
Please tell me the truth!
clocky: *there is a slight hint of fear in her eyes* I just want you... if it takes me two seconds or two centurues
Mark: *flinches when he sees that fear, quickly letting her go, stepping back*
Clocky: I said the wrong thing didn't I? im sorry
Mark: You didnt say anything wrong.. I.. should go.. bye.
*shifts, turning tail and fleeing*
*still watching*
Clocky: *shouts* mark!
Mark: *runs faster, panting slightly*
Clocky: *runs, but is too slow for him*
*cries* please!
Mark: *stumbles at the cry, flinching*
*whines, slowing down*
Hello. How are you, guys? And before anyone asks, parents got here, so they're staying for two weeks, then we all go home. Maybe that's the reason I'm really, really, really sad. Anyways... how are you?
I wish I had a job... I tried to apply for a starter position at Co-op. I need 7 previous places of employment + two references just to send an application. That is so stupid.
(Hi kas..)
*hugs Kas*
(*hugs kas*)
clocky: *falls to her knees and cries* its my fault...
Mark: *whimpers, slowly trotting back*
Staring-into-nothingness-lost-in-my-own-thoughts-with-a-sad-look-on-my-face-and-not-reciprocating-emotions-nor-revealing-the-tears-behind-my-eyes-sad.
Sorry.
clocky: *Shakes* I scare everyone off
Mark: *watches, hiding behind a tree, sad*
clocky: *punches the ground* clockwork. you. idiot!
Mark: *whines quietly*
clocky: *the punches slow down and sobs*
Mark: *slowly pads towards her*
*silently lays down beside her*
clocky: *sniffs* mark...?
Mark: *rests his head on his paws, staring straight ahead*
clocky: what did I do wrong mark? why do I scare people away?
Mark: *shakes his head, shifting, resting his muzzle on her knee*
clocky: *strokes his head*
Mark: *closes his eye, relaxing against her*
hello. took a bit longer than i'd anticipated :P
clocky: *hums along to shatter me*
(shatter me is a good song)
(@Chloe yes it is.
*nods at F*)
Mark: *listens, ears twitching slightly*
(you listened to it?)
clocky: *stops and bites lip*
