Be gentle, it's my first time.

I will trade you a box of pocky for some of your delicious mochi.

Hello and glad to make your acquaintance! Happy day to you.

Nice to meet you too :)

Hi, thanks for the friend request. Your book sounds very interesting, a Japanese steampunk? I'm all on board. Can't wait till it gets released. Will you be having an Ebook version of this?

Hey there, that's really awesome of you to say, thanks! :D

I'd say there will almost certainly be an e-book version (we sold the rights), but that kind of thing is still getting finalized by my publishers (along with covers and all that good stuff)

As soon as I get details like that, I'll put 'em on the blog. Thanks so much for the interest :)

Awesome! Living in Malaysia where books are either expensive, slow or really limited... I totally rely on Ebooks to get my books quick and fast. Plus it's a lot easier to lug around an iPhone as oppose to a paperback (oh and reading at work doesn't look too obvious either heh)

Japanese inspired steampunk, how can it possibly be bad?! Shame we have to wait until September to read it though.

Think how I feel! I wrote it two years ago! BUT, we're almost there now. And we get cool stuff like cover reveals in the meantime :)

And I do it with the authority of someone taller than you lol! (I kid)

I just can't wait to read a Japanese inspired steampunk."

Lol, dude if you actually WERE taller than me, I'd be willing to pull a few strings and arrange some September-bound time-travel for you. :D

But, I can't wait for you guys to read it either. The thought of it getting out there in the world makes me happy in the pants.

TY for the fr :) if u wanna come check out my blog & possibly follow.. feel free..no pressure ;)

Seven foot?? Holy shit, I thought I had it bad at 6'7. Finding jeans that fit must be a MISSION

Thanks. And yeah, I've been told that before. Once or twice :) http://misterkristoff.wordpress.com/2...

Nice to meet you, Jay!

Congratulations on the book contract!

Doc

Why thank you, sir! :)

You're welcome! And I can't wait for you to read it! :)

I haven't read a lot of Japanese literature tbh. Some Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and Eiji Yoshikawa is about it. I always worry what we miss out on in the translations, and sadly, I don't speak Japanese :(

I know it's not something a mature author-y type person should admit to, but most of my Japanese influence comes from all the manga I read as a kid. :)

Kay go.

Thankfully, I happened to be listening to the Foo Fighters just as I read this, and they seem to have thwarted the power of Europe.

Must be like rock paper scissors. Rawk beats Hair Metal, apparently.

You know, you are uncanningly similar-looking to the lead singer of the Foo Fighters; David Grohl. But why do I get the feeling I'm not the first one to tell you this? ;)
At least now I can brag that I am friends with a David Grohl look-alike. *in dramatic voice* My "claim to fame"!

Ummm. *thinks of what she was supposed to say*
...

Oh yeah! Thanks for accepting. That's what I originally came on your profile for, before I got sidetracked by your image....you know, your book sounds fabulously fabulous (see what I did thair?), and I canNOT wait to read it. Well, I can, obviously, but I mean that I dont want to.
God, I sound like a twittering bimbo.

Anyway...I bet you're regretting friending me already! And I dont blame you for it.

I have indeed heard that before. But it's okay - it happens so often it's kinda funny now. :)

And you're welcome! Thanks for asking. Really glad you like the sound of the book, I hope it lives up to all your hopes and dreams and transports you to a magical faraway land full of sunshine, lolly pops and stripper flavored champagne.

...or maybe not. :)

Adam "Archer" wrote: "Stripper flavoured champagne?

Is that crushed dreams, failed potential, lost hope and sweaty pervert flavour then?"

...good point, well made.

What in the world?
Stripper falvoured champagne?
The mental picture I have is horrendous, but so amusing.
Now, when I'll open the book I'll be expecting somebody to jump out and offer me some of that champagne.
Now that would be something.

Okay, yet another comment I haven't been notified on. Grr. GR is conspiring against me, I swear it.

Okay. Stripper-flavoured champagne? Yummy. Sounds very...saucy. Me wantz it! Naow!

Also, lollipops? Hell yeah! I want me some lollipops!
(Bonus points if they are strangely shaped and taste of chocolate...)

Ok, you're the same age as me, but this shows how much my mind is f*ucked up because that is not what I think about stripper flavoured champagne.

I feel like going to church, but I'm scared I'll start burning in the doorway.

What's a church?

Jay wrote: "What's a church?"

It's the Gothic creepy buildings, usually with towers and gargoyles of some sort, where people go to prey. Or as my grandma likes to call it 'cleansing their souls' to the one above that might not even be there. I certainly do not give a flying banana about cleansing my soul. I know it's clean (actually no, it's rotten and dirty).

thanks for being my friend

That cover is BOMB. x_x I can't wait to hold it in my hands and snuggle it for the rest of my life.

And can't wait for your book. Also, the US cover is going to be revealed this week, correct?
Looking forward to chatting with you."

Whops, sorry I missed this. Cover was revealled on the 18th, but I see you already saw it :D Really glad you like it!

Awesome, so glad you like it! When snuggling, beware of the katana (and paper cuts) :)

Thanks for accepting my friendship request. Stormdancer can't come out soon enough. :)

You are too awesome not to friend. And...I'm in love with the cover and half afraid of imploding upon reading your book because it'll be too great for my mere mortal eyes.

Anyway. Thank you for accepting my friend request.

Thanks for accepting the friendvite, I won't say that I squealed in jubilation although I did but yeah... So not awkward at all. Nope. That's me.

Any plans of doing a giveaway in UK? I feel like we're missing out :-(

Lol, hopefully not. I love my readers - imploding them with awesome would be kinda mean of me :)

No probs, man. Thanks for asking :)

That *is* a good point. I'll ask my UK guys about that...
