Yes yes, I still have to do whatever rewrites and polishes and edits that are required, but still...
I'm FINISHED!
I'm now going to celebrate! (By celebrate I do, of course, mean play a video game until my eyes bleed.)

I was just wondering, are you going to include Tanith's brother in the books? She said she had one in book 1 but I'm not sure you remember. Just food for thought.
That's great! I can't wait to have it in my hands in September!! Anything you write is godly. (Don't let that get to your head lol)
Can't wait to see character annoucements. :]
OH, Great! That's fantastic! good for you! any idea on the name yet...? and also I'm SURE we wouldn't mind a nice little spoiler?

Amazing, sure it'll be as awesome as the others, if not better! Can't wait to read it. But anyone know when Dark Days comes out in the USA? WE don't have it for sale over here, or atleast that I know of >.<
SCORE FOR LANDY.
I thank you for finishing it so quickly, and for allowing the next book to come out in September. I pretty much died of happiness a little when I found that out.
But, I'm afraid to say, it kind of seems like you're enjoying the fact that you have hundreds of followers to comment on your mindless rambles. Dare I even say you LIKE having a blog?
Yes, I dare.
Fantastic! Now hopefully we can all find out who won the character competition, i'm fed up of waiting...
Also, play Red Dead Redemption if you can, it's absolute EPICNESS!
Ah!Awesome!Yet again EXCEEDED the highest possible level of incredible, amazingness!You shall celebrate by playing a video game 'till your eyes bleed!Ah Mr.Landy you make me so very proud to be your minion! :-D
That's great that you finished it!Oh!I also have good news.Soon you will have some more money!lol I made an agreement with some miscellaneous human online.I read his favorite book and he reads mine, which is, of course, Skulduggery Pleasant!*Yay!*
So you may very well have a new recruit within the coming weeks.
Rejoice!
By the way, thanks to you I could hardly sleep last night.I kept imagining what 'twould be like if you came to the USA and I got to meet you.So I got all worked up and excited.I finally got myself to sleep after quite long time of telling my self that so far I've no news what-so-ever of you, Mr.Landy of coming.
lol
Don't worry I don't blame you. :)
Anyway I'll stop going on and on for the time being ^.^.
Too-ta-loo (that's right I said "too-ta-loo".I'm in a very good mood at the moment :-} I mean really!How could I not be excited when I've just found out you've finished book 5!!...the only bad thing is after this one there will only be 4 books left instead of 5....O well I won't contemplate such things at the moment because I wouldn't want to ruin my fabulous mood.So.Ta-ta!'Till next time!)

I'm A Video game freak, too!
Have you played final fantasy?
:) Also Congrats on finishing the book! :)
Samantha Standfield :)
i can't wait to see the character competition announced!!! wow im fed up with waiting for that! i probs won't win seeing as im up agaisnt 3500 people. congrats to whoever won!
Nice one. Soon the world will know the truth of my mighty guess, mwahahaha.
Also, I agree with the dude up there. Red Dead Redemption looks so epic, I decided to cancel seeing my family this half term so I can have an uninterrupted week playing it. Seriously man, check out some trailers.
Also, how small a cameo is this comp char gonna make? Like a 'Hey, I'm Honest' (blates coz my character rules) and they exit. That would be funny.
See you along the trail...

Congratulations are in order. ;D
Must. Get. My. Dark Days. Ellen still has it. 8l She bought it in MARCH as a gift but she hasn't given it to me yet.
I might as well thank you here for signing my drawing of Mr Pleasant singing "Ipanema" in Sydney! :D Even though the girl asking for it was my best friend's sister, not me. Even though I haven't SEEN my drawing in two months...
So surely that means the winner of the competition has been chosen? Or was that for the sixth book?
I think I'mma go kick some Zombie ass. Left For Dead ftw.
That is awesome!!!!!!!! but i still think you need to get up and do something active.....
Well done! I just finished writing my play too! Of course, there's things I need to fix, but I'm FINISHED!!!! It's a brilliant feeling, isn't it?
Congratulations! Now... I can't wait to read it! And like I said on the other post, the cover looks amazing! This is gonna be one hell of a book... I'm actually looking forward to September now!
AHHH! Can't wait!! You should invite me and Julia over for a party we live in Dublin too YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hyperness!
So happy! So happy! So so so so HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! So happy that I'm now hyperventilating and typing at the same time which is amazingly impossible. Yet now that I have come to my senses I am not so happy. I am more then excited about the book being done but there remains one problem for us fans in the United States. WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN BOOK FOUR. So even though you are done with your precios little book(or rather big considering there about three hundred to four hundred pages long)and that in September you will send it off to all those nice countries that are apparently better then ours WE won't get it until months later just like book four. And yes I relise it's only been two months since the release of book four but you would think that within that time you could send some our way. The only reason I got it was because I was desperate and so I ordered it as a birthday present for myself.
I forgot to say in my comment earlier that you have inspired me to write a blog. It actually looks rather amusing and I would love it if my favorite author who most likely finds me insane would read it. Along with the people who read his blogs since I believe you will all understand it more considering I'm bound to talk about Skulduggery Pleasant in it. It is called 'This random blog thing' and as soon as I figure out how to use it, it will be awesome.
Oh and that name thing has changed for me again. It's supposed to say Madison.
Congratulations!
You said that you read these so, just in case you get a moment I have a question from a frustrated American reader. I LOVE your books. So much, in fact, that I bought it from Amazon.UK and donated it to the library I work for because we couldn't get it until it comes out in the US otherwise... so my question is this. What is the difference between the US and English/Irish edition (other than binding and paper)? Do they actually go through and change every time you use fag to cigarette or jumper to sweater (not that you seem to use those words)?
Surely there must be SOMETHING that takes them months to do between the English publishing date and the American publishing date other than changing the paper and cover???
Signed... a terribly CURIOUS reader,
Clare
Congrats! I Cant wait to read it, is it still coming out in September? and does this mean the next one is not coming out in april?
bye
Is it just me or does every try to be exactly like derek/skullduggery on these comments. Get your own way to be funny lol.
Hmm I don't think EVERYBODY tries to be funny like thim.
Congratulations Mr Landy! I can only imagine the excitement and relief you must be feeling at the moment.
Out of curiosity, what game are you going to play?
Congratulations! Can I have the book now? Or maybe after I'm done with Wuthering Heights.
Btw which video game are you playing? I'd strongly suggest getting the new Prince of Persia (or the old ones if you haven't played them already).
This is kinda late, but well done!!!
I like the way you celebrate :) and congrats can't wait to read it and I advise playing Kingdom Hearts if your into story action kinda games
You're awesome Derek and I love your books! I'm in the US though and idt it has come out yet D= I might just have to get the stupid audiobook =P anyways, gotta love the villans and such they're so evil! lol Cant wait till September! Love, anonymous fan.
ah...4months left until the book is mine. still such a long time
I am way too excited. Please let there be someone named Dante...
