Extra London Date Added

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...

  1. (I once has to rebuy one of the Skulduggery books because they were only signing stuff in the store. I was pissed cause it meant spending money I'd saved especially for shopping that day.. and it was basically all my money.)

    Onwa: Why thank you.

    *sighs happily*

    James: *how is food kissing him..?*

    Manuel: how unfortunate..

  4. (As the name would suggest, Grant - training you to become a midwife.)

    Alexandria: I like it here.

    Bethany: *she runs her fingers over her cheeks*

    (Jaimie - Apologies. In the previous comment I did state that half of the food reformed into her, but when I was typing it that part of the sentence was underlined as if I was editing it. It seems that it deleted it when I changed lines - a glitch which occasionally happens with this mobile phone.)

    Lily: People weren't happy with me.

    My friend midge said that if he has a daughter that turns I to those false girl you get in school, he would disown her

    (We have a plan though, for me to go to Europe next year!

    My uncle has been flying to Europe and so when my family goes home, I'll stay with my uncle and grandma and he'll get my grandma a free ticket and me a discount ticket and we'd fly to where ever he's going in Europe and then we'd all spend his 26/38 what ever it is hours in that city and try to fly home!

    My grandma is coming because we're flying standby so if there are no tickets for me to get home I don't have to stay there!

  78. Con: *smirks* I can tell there's no truth to some of the folklore anyway, Garlic and salt were mixed into that sauce.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Sil: *Panicks internally at the mention of salt but doesn't react outwardly*
    *the salt levels can't have been dangerous or the liquid would have gone red*
    Of course not. They're poppycock.

    ReplyDelete
  80. (But it's fun :P Bye

    Con: salts not poison, why would it go red? ... )

    Con: *smirks* Good to know... what about steaks or crosses ? *smirks* and not the kind of steak we just had.

    ReplyDelete
  81. (Large amounts of salt are harmful to vampires (I figured it wasn't the water in salt water that'd hard a vampire.)

    Sil: *pulls a silver cross from around her neck*
    Crosses will do nothing, nor silver. As for a steak to the heart, that can be problematic.

    ReplyDelete
  82. *sighs at the fact that I'm in America and doesn't have the opportunity to go to events*
    *explodes sparkles because of too many feels*

    ReplyDelete
  83. (Con: Yes but would a vile detect it... ? salt itself is not a poison... well actually it is but not conventional poison.)

    Con: *looks interested* Fascinating... did you know they used to give a gram of salt per kg of weight to kill someone, yet here we are putting it on our steaks... like it's fun to play with death.((true fact!))

    ReplyDelete

  85. ( hi Star too :P *offers hugs*)

    ReplyDelete
  86. (*waves at star*

    The vial identifies any poisons that could kill a vampire. It's made from liquified vampire basically. It goes red if the substance would harm a vampire.)

    Sil: Interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  87. (damn i like having lots of salt on my chips and stuff...Keiron you see what i'm like at KFC xD)

    ReplyDelete
  92. Um yeah Normandy is starship from Mass Effect btw just saying for people who aren't obsessed.
    In all fairness
    Walked past a shop and there were loads of metal models lile London Eye and cars then there was a model on a stand and I was like hey that looks like Mass Effect but it can't be because nowhere sells them then I saw Normandy SR2 on the side and a packet with a Mass Effect logo on next to it and I was lile HOLY CRAP GOT TO HAVE IT THAT'S SO AWESOME and so I continued instinctively buying Mass Effect things XD

    ReplyDelete
  93. -Stands and puts her chair under the table-
    -reaches for her coat-

    ReplyDelete
  94. (Con: why you so obsessed about your coat... ? it's under the stairs...

    I'm hood in the good wbu ? :P whats the show for?

    Con:*hugs back grumbling* )

    *Yueri hits the deck harder shaking the house and he looks angry* One moment... you can leave if you wish... your coat is under the stairs... don't get lost it leads to my shadow realm... *makes his way to the decking with the plates and some fish food*

  100. @Hope: Idk about you, but I just starting keepign a diary a couple of days ago and it's really good for writing down thoguhts in. :)

    @Dragona: XD *hugs*

    ReplyDelete
  101. I mean, I can't usually write things very well if I'm not talkign to a person, but I call my diary Future Me and have decided I am writing all of these thoughts to Future Me because Future Me will be interested and want to read them, and that works. XD

    ReplyDelete
  102. -makes her way back to the bar-
    -runs in and throws up in the toilet-
    -drinks a glass of nectar and feels a lot better-
    -her hair looks shiner, she's practically glowing and looks refreshed-
    -gets changed into a nightgown and slips into bed-

    ReplyDelete
  103. Diaries and journals are good, but... it's also nice to have it in a place where I know someone else knows how I'm feeling, even if I can't really talk about the subject exactly... I mean, I have Scarlet, but she's still a person in my head, and my future self isn't going to be much help in feeling like I've actually told someone else about my thoughts... It's still me...

    But who cares, right? I'll deal, because I've always had to...

    Now before my iPod's taken away, I really can't stay more.

    *leaves hugs, cookies, and warm tea*
    Hope everyone has a good day, or evening, or night. Good night from me...

    ReplyDelete

    I just use my headphones for music.

    They actually only have like a 45cm wire, so it's really annoying. :P I did have an extension cord but it broke a long time ago.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Hey Inky. :)

    Star ikr. :P

    45cm?? 0_0 Mine is 12ft. :) I use mine for listening to music and playing on my PS3 but um it needs a USB as well as 3.5mm jack so probably isn't good for mobiles but laptops and games consoles it's perfect. :)

    ReplyDelete
  116. 12ft = 365.76cm btw so yeah much longer than yours. :)

    ReplyDelete
  117. @Chloe: Erm, good, thanks. :) You?

    @Dragona: Yep. When I sit up with my headphones plugged into my phone my phone dangles off the ground.
    When I plug my headphones into my laptop, I have to crouch down to be able to use them . . . I sometimes tilt the bottom of my laptop up by resting it on my pencil case so I can sit up a bit more and still see the screen.

    O_O Woah, that's long.
