Minions.
First of all, most of you have been very good about posting no spoilers in the comments section, so thank you for that. But a few of you have let some things slip, which is bad. BAD MINIONS!
Ahem.
Got the German schedule. It’s only two days, I’m afraid- not the week or two that I usually spend travelling around. The Australia/NZ tour and then the UK/Ireland tour at the start of the year meant a LOT of time away from home, so I told them I wanted everything condensed for this one. Astonishingly, they listened... probably because they realize I’ll have to start the new Skulduggery book before Christmas, and they want to keep me happy.
But I am NEVER happy.
Anyway, the German schedule --
Thursday 9th September:
11 AM
Museen Dahlem, Kunst und Kulturen der Welt, Lansstr.8, 14195 Berlin
6 PM
Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus, Friedrichstr. 90, 10117 Berlin
Friday, 10th September:
4 PM
Katharinenschule in der Hafencity, Am Dalmannkai 18, 20457 Hamburg
Jammed in between these three events are the usual amount of travel time and media stuff, but as usual I just list the events that the public can pop along to.
With all of the signings, of course, in Germany, the UK and Ireland, I am happy to sign whatever you bring with you- time permitting. Obviously if the queue is insanely long and we have to run off to the next event, I won’t have the chance to do so, so we’ll tell everyone that I’ll only be able to sign one or two things. But usually there’s enough time for me to sign everything.
Oooh, and a few of you have seen the new design for the Dark Days paperback. The whole idea behind this new design is basically to have fun with the covers. The hardbacks will continue on as before, but the paperbacks will have a brand new image, every time, featuring Skulduggery in a cool pose. We figure most of you will be buying the hardbacks- or trade paperbacks, which are hardback sized but with the softer covers- and so you can keep that consistent cover design for your collection. But when the smaller paperbacks come out and replace the hardbacks on the shelves, we wanted a new approach to entice the readers who have never picked up a Skulduggery book.
And for the next few weeks, the only place to find these covers is over with our friends at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=188386&id=54064762985
By the way, for those of you who miss Valkyrie’s presence on the covers, I completely agree with you. I miss her too. Which is why Mr Tom Percival is working on a series of cool Valkyrie images for the backs of the books. I can’t wait for these, because we’ll really be able to see how much she grows up and changes in Tom’s artwork. And I'll also be able to get a few framed. Yay!
Alright then, I will blog once more before I head off on tour, and then I’ll do my best to blog again once I’m actually ON tour.
I swear.

so true lol haha i founds my school bag , and a sock
*runs around clapping hands, and generally falling over stuff*
Right. That's out of my system. Now. I am currently reading Mortal Coil for the first time (1 down, 100 to go before I catch up with the rest of the books....) and Fletcher has just arrived (which doesn't count as a spoiler, as he was due to arrive at some point or another, unless Mr Derek Sir had killed him off in secret (which I have to say, wouldn't bother me in the slightest)), and I was reading the description of his hair. His hair......I wish to cut it off. But the question popped into my mind - does he have Jedward hair? Because that's how I always imagined it. Or is that just me?
Right, now back to the genius that is Mortal Coil. *skips back to the book*
lolumz nice ... can I have the sock?
Fletchers hair sounds awesome.. Unless its cullen hair ti
"Like a demented porcupine" Not technically a spoiler. That page made me lol.
yeah fletchers hair sounds emmence ! ... don't worry deffently NOT cullen hair
Gawd. Most people go quiet when I talk. Am I that annoying??
Don't you just love that page though Nicolette?? :D
It's totally awesome. "His hair is huge! Like a demented porcupine!" Lol
yeah .. lol
-gives Nicolette the sock-
weirdo
The Cullen's can go be undead somewhere else and leave me alone, the stupid sparkling pathetic excuse for a vampire!!!!
WOO SOCK! *runs around with sock over her ponytail and tucked into the bobin*
There not a vampires.. think about it they sparkles, they live in the woods and they dont eat people .. the cullens are obiously fairies! :D
obviously. and btw i think socks are awesome too. :)
I agree with the weirdo -points at Nicolette- THE CULLEN'S ARE FAIRIES
urg great I CANT FIND MY GOD DAMN PHONE
Dragona, I must ask: can I use your story as part of mine? I mean the Fanfiction. We could do a story togeather! We would be giving eachother breaks, and being able to share our ideas would be great!

Derek, good work, I can't remember which book store I went in, but you were the top of the 9-Teenage fiction, #1, you even beat Mark Walden with H.I.V.E Zero Hour, which was second. I have both the books!
After reading Mortal Coil several times, I realised that the new H.I.V.E was out, so I bought that.
Ah... good point.
And after that, I will read Mortal Coil again.
Hi, Dragona! Are you on for the Fanfiction?
there you go bolt someone else :]
ah ha so i dont have anything to say my mind has gone blank
damn my impossible genus mind i cannot think of anything to say apart from COOKIE
Crow, what's your power?
Silence... I DON'T LIKE SILENCE! IT MAKES BE LAUGH!!
-Giggles frantically-
lol ^^
same here , erm can i be able to move things with my mind and be able to kill people without even touching them
the queen visited my school last year and when she came down the stairs we all had to be quiet and is broke into fits of silent giggles
bolt do you know what my power is?
OK, thanks.
Erm... no.
What is your power?
Yeh I'm in for Fanfiction Sarthacus. My character is an elemental, so powerful he can put shame to Skulduggery, so take that Skul-man.
lol
Elemental... Nic, what about you?!
shes an fantastic elemental ok with guns good with swords but AMaZING with her dagger she can kill anyone from ages away with out them seeing it coming because of her fantastic aim she can throw a dagger straigh to there heart of head ..
and never misses a single throw
OK, I'm introducing you to the gaol.
and Dragona's favourite weapons are Twin Katanas, but he is also a master at using guns.

Hi (:
I'm playing my dad in a game of chess and I am sooooooo bad.
lol. Im ok at chess. When im playing 5 year olds ti
My dad won the last game so I challenged him to a rematch. WHY IS HE SO GOOD? not fair
lol. talk when its his turn to put him off.
SPOILERS ALERT!!!!!!
Well Derek!
Just wanted to say that I loved the new book! I loved the way Tanith was turned into a bad guy at the end. It's gonna be real interestin' to see how that works out.
My favourite scene in the whole book is actually the bit where Tesseract and Skulduggery are sitting down on the bench at the end and Tesseract starts talking abot his cat. Tesseract is now one of my all time favourite characters.
Also I'll see you in Portlaoise on the 16th! My real name is Jimmy Kavanagh, and me and my friend Pauline (Cluainn Fhada) will see you there!
HE WON AGAIN. He annoys me. I challenged my brother to a match tomorrow. I WILL BET HIM. No I wont, BUT I WILL TRY. I have to go to bed now. My mums says because it's a school night. But she doesn't know that I have a torch under my bed. MWAHAHA
Lol. K. Btw you'll get glasses by doing that - and I should know it isnt a rumour. I suggest that you close you bedroom door and turn on the light. She comes in to check pretend you fell asleep with it on. Never fails.
And those of you that find Alana Shadow too long to write I think Shade is cool enough for you to call me it :)) lol
See?? My names changed - how AWESOME! (very little I know) seems like I'm the last one here so I'll be seeing yous empty blog. see ya.

But they have to sound KOOL... and AWESOME!
Thanx.
I feel really really sorry for you, 1014 comments, that must suck :(
Okay, I've read Mortal Coil (got it the day it came out, here in Australia) and don't worry, I'm not going to post spoilers, but... I LOVE THIS SERIES! Each book is better than the last. I stayed up all night reading it (instead of doing my assignments, which I should have been doing) because I couldn't put it down. So I blame you for making me sleep through my lectures the next day, but I'll forgive you because the book was so awesome :D I hope that when I eventually get published (I am determined that it will happen!) my books will rock as much as yours.
I was disappointed that I missed your Aussie tour though (I guess this means I need to check updates more often so I don't miss out next time hehe).
And for anyone who's interested, I also have a blog at http://rebecca-j-fleming.blogspot.com/ where I talk about my own writing, illustrations and other random topics that interest me (so please follow me, it will make me feel loved :D).
yay! 1000 comments :) this is to show how much we love your books!! xDD
Oh, yes. Received my book today. NO spoiler, because I haven't read it, but I do love the kitchsy-but-snazzy free gift! Awesome-sauce. And I now want to be Tom Percival when I grow up.
*swoons at illustrations*
WOOO HOOOO WERE IN THE THOUSANDS ... LETS CELEBRATE!!! ...
well at least until Derek finds out and sends his ninga leprecaun army to kill us all ... :/
well if we must die I agree with Hellboy lets go with a bang and make it to 2000!!
hehehehehe
and yes I remember when he used to get mad with 38 comments now he has 1018 :]
ahhh I feel sorry for my cool lepard bookmark,
I keep it on my top self and reserve it for only my best books ever ... aka skulduggery and after 5 mounths of waiting the poor things still covered in dust ...
just found him and realised because I never stopped reading the book for a second he never got used ..
oh well always next september :]
Home from school. My friend hit me with an apple and it really hurt. Apples are really hard. But then I hit her with my apple so we're even. I'm reading an awesome book (not quiet as good as SP but really close). It's called Magic Study. It's the second in a trilogy. The first ones called Poison Study. You should all read them. THEY ARE AWESOME.
oh hello? ..
okaii @lizzy and @skyril ... sorry guys just realized you had commented on my las blog ... I didn't realize anyone was still interested in my silly little blog so stopped posting but if you wanted I could continue with the assasins coin ... or make up fanfiction like bolt and dragona :]
ooooh I'm eating an apple ... and whilst eating it realized I'd make a good vampire as I just bit this apple and am drinking the juice out of it just like a vamp :] ... :[ But I sure as heck don't want to be a vampire ...
hey hey apple.... WhAt!!! .... Knife ... AHHHH OWWWW .... oh that looks like it herts ahahahaha
so guys would you rather be a vampire or possed by a remmant?
Thats a really hard question Nicolette. I have no idea what I'de rather be.
Im good at thinking of hard questions :]
Vamp.
