This Is Awesome...



Oh, and my publishers would like me to include the Amazon link so you can pre-order this wonderful, wonderful book. Now, normally I hate linking to ANYTHING that has to do with selling my own books... and this is no exception...

(oh, and I also have no idea how these words ended up in the middle of the page like this, but hey...)

This is the link:


Whether you use it or not is up to you.

PS

The colour for this one is shiny GOLD.

PPS

I think now is the time to applaud one Mister Tom Percival.

I LOVE the cover.

Robin Snowscar said...

Same here, what ARE those things in the background?

Star Inkbright said...

*is shocked into silence by a comment on Goodreads.com*

Someone . . . Someone called . . . Drew . . . They . . . They said . . .

THEY SAID AF WAS RUBBISH! *shoves Drew into pool of lava and stamps on Drew before going off to work out how to give an angry, factual, truthful and unexaggerated reply* JUST COZ YOU'RE TOO THICK TO LOOK AT THINGS FROM HOLLY'S POINT OF VIEW AND SEE THAT EION'S ONLY DOING THE SAME . . .

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Robin Snowscar said...

*steps back two paces* Uhhhh Hi Star

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Derek said the things in the background were:


"The monsters in the background are - ooh phone call"

Star Inkbright said...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T REPLY ON GOODREADS???? *gets Drew's point but would strongly like to give my opinion on the matter*

Star Inkbright said...

Be very wary, robin, or i'll get chalk in your face. *is holding chalk bag*

*grins* we were chucking chalk all over each other in rockclimbing. It was fun:)

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, you CAN post comments . . .

Robin Snowscar said...

I know Val *frowns*

I'm allergic to chalk...

Why does this keep posting twice? Or am I just clicking the button twice... *feels dumb*

Robin Snowscar said...

*waves at Phoenix*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Phoenix

Robin Snowscar said...

Must go, cheerio!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Robin

Star Inkbright said...

Hi phoenix!

Ah. Well you would not survive a single rockclimbing session robin . . . We use chalk to help us grip the holds and climbing a wall with no handholds is very difficult, even assuming you avoided all the chalkfights . . .

Anonymous said...

Last time I climbed, I forgot my chalk bag. I will never do that again.

Star Inkbright said...

I don't OWN a chalk bag. Lots of other people do tgough.

My comment killed itself xD

Derek you freakin mind reader. I just bought an Amazon gift card!!! Great now i know what to do...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hi!!!! Lol

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

Oh my Golden God!

The book cover is awesome. Best one yet.

Star Inkbright said...

What do you people think of my reply to Drew?

Drew, i understand your point.

But just because Eoin was writing about humans being bad as a species doesn't nessessarily mean he thinks all humans are horrible.

He was writing from the point of view of the fairies. Fairies hate humans, so obviously he would often be writing as if humans were deserving of their hatred. Think of it this way - before Artemis Fowl came along, how many fairies had spoken with humans properly, tried to male friends with them? None of them ever knew any humans personally. Them hating humans seems to me a bit like people in a country (country A) far away from another country (country B), with no people from B really coming to A, hating everyone from country B because country A and country B fought a war against each otger once a lobg time ago. That isn't fair to country B at all, but because the only thing the people in country A had to Bon was the war, of course they would dislike people from B. I know it's racism, but people are often like that.

The humans have polluted more than the fairies, of course they have, but yes, the fairies hace caused pollution. Maybe they blame global warming on the humans because a) a bit of CO2 doesn't matter and if not for the humans it would inly be a bit b) it's more the human's fault than the fairies and c) it's nice to have someone to blame (not going into a religious debate here but that is one of the purposes of gods etc., not saying all gods, not saying anything about the existance of God/gods, just pointing out something).

Fairy weapons are less lethal than human ones. Softnoses (in the second book) were outlawed because they were guns designed to kill, not merely cause unconsciousness. Yes, fairies have some rather dangerous weapons, but the majority of them strongly dislike killing people/animals.

Blue rinses are a last resort. A kill-a-few-people-to-save-millions idea. It isn't as if they just throw a bio-bomb at any problem they see.

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

I cannot wait until it comes out. I think I might pre order it today . . .

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

?

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

Who's Drew?

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

? again

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs* Read upwards.

Star Inkbright said...

Took me forty five minutes to write that out . . . I'm pretty proud of it.

Star Inkbright said...

Drew's a person from Goodreads who DARED to write a review saying AF1 was terrible.

Paula said...

Did you take out any gore? i hope not. btw, i did pre-order through Canada's biggest book store! come to mama!

Star Inkbright said...

HOW DARE YOU! (yes, i'm still reading AF reviews . . .)

Min (Thalia) said...

Oh my God this cover is just so GORGEOUS

That book

That book must be mine.

Star Inkbright said...

*stops reading* It's wrecking AF for me.

Helena Ember Sky said...

I think Skulduggery looks kind of funny but I can't help being excited for the next book!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Can't wait till August, Derek remember to come to Canberra!!!

Helena Ember Sky said...

If my information is correct, this should be the last comment...

Star Inkbright said...

*is conpletely outraged at the people in goodreads. Not for the reviews, for raining on my parade*

Helena Ember Sky said...

I don't think my information was correct... I thought yesterday was Monday. I'm odd.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Ink! You're back!

Star Inkbright said...

*completely

Star Inkbright said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

It's Saturday in Australia also, hello Valkyrie.

Star Inkbright said...

*is upset and angry* Right, that's the last time i read book reviews.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello Star; nice to meet you, Helena.

Star Inkbright said...

Aus are always half a day or so ahead of us - america are behind . . .

Oh, the joys of being bang on the greenwich meridian.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*is even sadder* Aw, but i was so happy earlier! :(

Helena Ember Sky said...

Yeah, it's 9.31 am here...

Star Inkbright said...

I know helena. What's getting me is that they're pointing out things that are bad about AF, and i never noticed them before but now i realise they're there and i don't WANT to know that . . .

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

7:33pm :P people are insane shooting fire works off

Star Inkbright said...

Hey, anyone read the Time Riders books?

They. Are. Brilliant.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Havent gotten to. Currently rereading SP figured I would try to do it in 2 days I'm on Playing With Fire and I started today. Almost finished Playing With Fire. Lol. I cant stop thinking about my friend Nikki. She just finished TEOTW and is first on my KOTW list. She was like,
"Nye reminds me of a man not really girlish."
I'm like, "Nye is an it. Its girl and guy."
Nikki, "But still! Did Derek make it more manly?"
Me, "Uhm....go fly to Ireland and ask him."
Nikki, "Go stalk the Blog."
Me, " Possibly I'll ask."
That my awkward convo at lunch.

Eve the ROCK said...

*skips around* Derek talked to me, lalalalala...*laughs*

Helena Ember Sky said...

Nye's not manly or girly just it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Lol Eve I did that yesterday after Derek answred my question. Mom thought i was insane. My friends got so many questiobs for him. I should just comment them all.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Valereno!

*brandishes eggbeater*

Sir said...

So do you often have conversations discussing the genders of people in books at lunch?



Oh yeah, hello.

Star Inkbright said...

EEEEEEEVEEEEEEE! Misssed you! Haven't seem you in millenia! Hi!

L left:(

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No lol. Just Nikki is odd and now to write the cursed list of my friends questiobs here goes nothing

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Sir. *tosses a lemon at him*

Sir said...

Eve the ROCK said...

*is happy and bright even though self has just woken up* I saw that. He commented two hours after I left. I was so upset. But then he posted, AND HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING. I tried to get him to notice me, by uh, screaming, but then my brother asked about the monsters so I asked Derek, and he...responded!!! Yaaaaaaay!!! He noticed me!! ME!!!

YAAAAAAAAY!!

Star Inkbright said...

YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Starry!!! *hugs* I know, I missed you!!!

Yeah. I really hope she comes back.... :(

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

He said happy birthday to me and Sparky and said he'd meet up with me in Ireland when I go! :D

Eve the ROCK said...

Hello, good sir!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Do you guys know anyway to directly contact Derek or Nick?

Sir said...

Putting "Good" before Sir doesn't exactly make sense, considering the fact that you've known me for a very short time. But we're not here to debate semantics, and I appreciate the sentiment.

Yes, I wrote a paragraph about that. It shows I care.

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah but he knows you because of the party you had. You're going to stand out in the ocean of comments. He doesn't know me at all and HE STILL TALKED TO ME!!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I feel stupid for not asking all these BEFORE but. If you do get the chance Derek, these are from my little army of Ameriminions at school. At least 15 of us. Be prepared. Its scary

Is Nye more man then woman?

What Adept magic did Scarab actually practice?

What part of America was Scarab actually from?

How is Nye alive if it hasnt shown really using magic?

There the weird list. From 173 lunch periods. Sorry again for not asking before I feel so bad. But my head likes its body.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't stand out in an ocean of comments.


Do I?

Eve the ROCK said...

But Sir Reinginton, I was talking to Valkyrie V. :P

But hello to you too.

Sir said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

About the "How is Nye alive if it hasnt shown really using magic?" question. Kenspeckle was never really shown using magic. They both do science magic.

Eve the ROCK said...

Val, if Derek is going through the comments, he's obviously not going to read all of them. But his brain will recognize some names, so he might focus on those. You're one of them.

Star Inkbright said...

Here's one of the things I said at lunch!

My tie's crooked . . . It's a crookered tie . . . Hey, my tie's a crook! It's crooked and it's a crook! As in, a villain!

MY TIE IS EVIL! *looks at tie* Please don't hurt me. (Asdf reference)

Nobody else found it funny but to me it was hilarious . . .

Eve the ROCK said...

Helena, Kenspeckle WAS shown using magic. He does that pain-inflicting thing, from the pain of the people he heals.

Eve the ROCK said...

HOORAY!!

Helena Ember Sky said...

I thought about that, it was cience magic though, as Nye uses.

Helena Ember Sky said...

science*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hehehehehe. It's funny to see the reaction to quotes. I quote Jake and Amir to my friends all the time.

Me: Hey Sarah, you know how you're always telling me to blend things?

Sarah: Uh...no....wait, what?

Helena Ember Sky said...

Bye!

Sir said...

That was a sudden departure. Ah well, the humdrum of real life beckons to us all.

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Helen

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you helena!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Helena

Eve the ROCK said...

"I checked my watch for the tenth time. An hour had passed, and Drucilla had not arrived. I'd told her the address. I'd told her when to be there. I'd told her not to be late. But then, she might've tuned out right after she agreed to take part in our little mission. 
I sighed and turned away from the deserted road. My boss had taken the team and I to an empty plain, no trees, no buildings, no other people, just a flat surface covered with yellowing grass. "

Star Inkbright said...

I'm reading a dam percy jackson book. *cracks up laughing*

You have to read the book to get the joke . . .

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't get it, Star. Wait til I finish the book

Eve the ROCK said...

I wrote that, yeah.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Its awesome.


You should write a story with everyone in it like Lynxia did, because she posted the end of it today...

Star Inkbright said...

Ooh! More drucilla eve??? Yay! :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Star Inkbright said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Is no one posting anymore?

Sir said...

Nope. This is all a dream. Now wake up, school never ended and you're going to be late.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey Star, I don't know if you've read my story but I posted chapter nine

Helena Ember Sky said...

Ink, I love your blogs!!!

Star Inkbright said...

That means: 'it's half one in the morning', i think, helena. Right? Coz i mean, 'half one is the morning'. As in, it's the morning, not the night anymore.

Helena Ember Sky said...

And, strangley, I love your profile Sir.

Star Inkbright said...

Wow! Thanks helena! *warn fuzzy feeling*

Helena Ember Sky said...

Correct Ink, I do German at school too and I've been learning French since I was three.

Star Inkbright said...

*warm

Sir said...

While I do my best to never state the obvious, I am also really bad at accepting complements. So I'm just going to break my former policy and say, yes it is.

Helena Ember Sky said...

And wow Val, great blog with "A Collaborative Effort To Meet The Golden God!!!!"

Star Inkbright said...

Wow. Better at languages than me then..

I always said your profile pic joke:

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Doctor.
Doctor who?
You just said it.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Okay Sir...

Nixion Strange said...

It's, uh, not her blog, but whatevers

Helena Ember Sky said...

Sorry Nixion but she helped with it right?

Nixion Strange said...

Did she?

Helena Ember Sky said...

Thank you Ink, did you get that it was John and Sherlock saying it?

Nixion Strange said...

I thought it was the old people who came on here, and Flame and Lynxia were the only ones I knew...

Helena Ember Sky said...

I don't know Nixion! I'm confused. I don't like being confused...

Nixion Strange said...

Anyway, no one uses that blog anymore...

Star Inkbright said...

Percy: Where's Chiron?
Mr D: How rude. Is that how you say hello?
Percy: Hello. We're about to die! Where's Chiron?
Mr D: About to die. How exciting. I'm afraid Chiron isn't hear. Would you like me to take a message?

Nixion Strange said...

I LOVE Percy Jackson.

Star Inkbright said...

Uh, nooooo . . .

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...
