Free Books! Many Links! Vampires!
All right, so I have many many nice things to show you guys, and wish to present them in an organised fashion.
Organisation is not really my strong suit, as the Durham Lass became forcibly aware as she entered my bedchamber yesterday so we could watch True Blood together.
DURHAM LASS: Is this meant to be like, an obstacle course with vampires as the prize?
SARAH: Vampires would be a good prize.
DURHAM LASS: I almost tripped on a rogue fruit pastille there. I WAS ALMOST DEAD FROM FRUIT PASTILLES.

England And Me
This week I have spent touring around England - visiting schools in London, Bath and Yorkshire. I also had a most excellent launch party in London, where I met squillions of fabulous people and was given lovely presents. I started eating my cookies on the train ride home.
SUSAN: You are not eating cookies given to you by strangers!
SARAH: I am not. I am eating cookies given to me by awesome people. There was a forcefield around my event, you see. It meant only awesome people were allowed in.

Release Week Rocks On
On release day I went out with my best people, and we toasted the book by moonlight at the side of the canal. My fabulous publisher sent champagne, my fabulous best friend sent flowers in red and gold to match the US cover, and the delivery man bearing these gifts was under the mistaken impression that I must have had a terrible fight with my boyfriend.
DELIVERY MAN: Ah, love, he's sorry! Forgive him!
SARAH (sunnily): I will.
I did not want the delivery man to be sad about my imaginary romantic woe

Is it June Yet? ... Yes, It Finally Is!
I am afraid I am much too incoherent with joy and panic to provide you with real content in this blog post: however, I have prepared content for you elsewhere!
I have among other things, the tale of how I was mistaken for a knife-wielding lunatic.
On my lovely agent's blog, Getting Hacked Six Days Before Release Day.
And some hopefully fun interviews!
What this post is really for is for the comments: The Demon's Lexicon is officially out today, so if you've read it or you're reading it, here is your

How It Happened
It is June, and tomorrow I will be a happy but nervous wreck. But before I do finally stumble right into publication, I wanted to make a final stumbling towards publication post.
Several people have asked 'But how did you write this book?' And I found this question a little puzzling, since I wrote the book the same way I'd written more than twenty others: sitting propped up on four pillows in bed when I should have been sleeping, curled up in front of the television with my friends or my family,

Book Updates
So in the run-up to Tuesday, I find myself often on the fainting couch, taking such deep breaths that I may end up inhaling my editorial letter.
In an attempt to ward off all the terrors to come (They'll change their mind! They'll accidentally put your cover on Betsy the Duck's Delightful Day Out! All of the books will be stolen by rogue ninjas!) I wished to make a post about the book stuff I wanted to tell you all about!
Go here to listen to a sample of my audiobook, if you'd like! I was so pleas

Star Trek Parody
So, a few weeks ago my friends offered me free advance tickets to see Star Trek. I laughed and refused: I had never been able to get through a whole episode of Star Trek.
But I kept hearing about how awesome the new movie was, and so I thought, well, I could use a break from restoring my livejournal.
And then it was awesome. And I wanted to write a parody.
I said to myself, 'Self. No. You have a thousand things to do. Your book comes out in five days. Self, I am warning you.'
So obviously, and witho

The Girl's Guide to Coping with Hackers
I was not the person who discovered the heinous crime. I am extremely thankful for that.
I was in fact in the shower when the hideous news arrived, singing (in this time of crisis, let us be perfectly honest) Mindy McCready's 'Oh, Romeo' and blinking coconut-scented bubbles out of my eyes as the phone rang. 'Heavens to Betsy, who is calling me at this hour, do they expect me to form coherent sentences?' I thought to myself.
On the phone was my friend Bob, telling me my livejournal had been hacked

PSA
My livejournal and email were hacked: I am most terribly sorry if you followed any links given.
I am now back in control, thanks to several of my friends leaping to my aid. Thanks everyone for your patience!
