I have returned!
And just time, it appears. The comments section from the last entry is close to spilling over into our first THOUSAND count... 852 when last I checked. You people are INSANE.
I, on the other hand, am completely normal, and as such I have been going about normal things for the past week. Normal things such as scheduling TV appearances, radio appearances, newspaper interviews, heading over to London to sign 1250 copies of Mortal Coil in two hours, organizing tours and generally making sure everything is running smoothly on the run-up to publication day.
Of course, SOME of you don’t have to WAIT for publication day, do you? There are some of you, apparently, who already HAVE Mortal Coil. Try as we might to ensure that every bookshop releases it on the same day, some of the little scallywags do like to sneak a few copies out ahead of time. And so it is probably wise, at this point, to make a rule about NO SPOILERS in the comments section until, oooh, at least the 10th of September. After the 10th, let’s all agree to label the posts CLEARLY with SPOILER WARNINGS- but even so, try and refrain from being TOO blatant...
Because I know, oh how I know, that there are those of you, out there, who will see a spoiler for the book and you will READ it, despite knowing that you’re going to pick up a copy of your own the very next day...! You just can’t resist it, can you? But you must TRY! Promise me you’ll at least TRY, because I assure you, finding out what happens is much more fun when you read from the BOOK, and not from a spoiler...
Now then, this tour business. Whenever I tour, we always pick a certain section of the UK to focus on. Last time I was down the south, this time I’m... er... somewhere else. Details below!

Good for you, with all those NORMAL things to do.
Because we people are all abnormal...
which makes what you're doing strange, as abnormal is normal to us...
Confusing
Hehe
I've taken this opportunity to point out that we've read your books, we follow your blog so yes, in all reality we probably are more than a little bit insane. Fun, no?
The Easons in town usually has a copy out early.
I'm actually gutted that you're not coming to Belfast... again. Even though I'm positive you said you'd be visiting our lovely city.
You are a brilliant writer :)
hope you'll be on the gold coast again sometime soon
I will try not to read the spoilers Golden God and i Too and sad that you are not visiting wondeful Belfast
hehehe *smirks* I am incredibly fortunate to have a copy of your book early, i actually bought it two days ago. It seems, luckily enough, that Down here in Melbourne it was released earlier, which is an extreme pleasure to me :D - I will refrain from posting any spoilers (i wouldn't dream of such a thing) but the book is GREAT. If there is any way to get in contact with you Derek i would like to ask for some advice :) - feel free to contact me, my email address is: megaflare95@msn.com , thankyou for the amazing stories :D
Definitely going to Manchester 7th September! This blog rocks! I still remember when it first came out... No longer do you mention Ninja Leprechauns or being forced to blog. Good times...
My life sucks ! I cant get to any of them , Derek why don't you come to Durham at least I would be able to get there -cries in corner-
and hell yes we are insane , and i am sorry but anyone who calls them selves "the golden god" is also insane
10th comment yes!!!!!!!!!
although upsat thet your not coming to NSW,Australia I am pleased to announce that wikipedia has the first 2 chapters description. I might be getting it for my birthday so that will be a good day. yet still Golden God rocks and SP will always be my favourite book series. And I still push on to gey Golden God to write the SP movie script. all you guys and girls rock
Gemma
Derek will you please read my story "the elementals" and tell me what you think
Oh, Derek, come back to AUSTRALIA! We love you here! And I cannot wait until Mortal Coil. I'm counting down the days, trust me... And if you can't come back Down Under for Mortal Coil, maybe the next book? That would be brilliant!
Hmmm -tries to write new chapter- DAMN IT I CANT DO IT I HATE WRITERS BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERRRG!!!!!!!! at the end of JULY i came back from IRELAND feeling like a FAILURE. (yes, im still going on about this.) because i COULDNT find you..... :*( And now you go on signing books at places I could have easily made it to. That is mean. To make it up to me and my friend who I was going to get a book signed because I missed her birthday, you need to come to Texas. Yes, Texas. You would like it here- in the winter- but you would like it. And I could get a whole welcoming party for you because I singlehandedly made Skulduggery Pleasant the favorite book of many.
And so, I have stated my reasons, so obey me and do a USA tour. or I will kick you in the head. I will find you and kick you in the head.
-Molly :)
I don't normally comment here, but I'm coming to the Bluewater one with two friends. We're trying to get on of us to dress as skulduggery, but still need the hat xD
Anyway we should be pretty easy to spot
I'll be at your visit and sighning at the dunamaise, portlaoise. May I ask do you sighn the whole collection of books r just one.
DAMN THIS INFERNAL WRITERS BLOCK!!!!
littlepsychobunny, heres a tip.
Read other peoples' stories and listen to good music and generally forget that you're trying to write s chapter. Inspiration will come eventually. Complaining about it won't help you out. No offence intended.
Mr Connor, are you also from the beautiful city?
Whats wrong with Cork!!!!!!!!!!
People Please Post On My Story
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/08/story.html
I might come to the manchester one, although I live like 20 miles away from it. But I have a book on order from waterstones for £6.49 but I still don't get it until the release date, but still I get money off.
And Derek, can you read the story as well (hopefully you'll think it's good and post something)
Hi guys,
Regarding fanfiction and other stories, my policy is not to read. I don't want to read fanfiction for obvious readings- I don't want it influencing, even unconsciously- the writing of the books, and I don't read other stories because if I start to read ONE person's stories, I'll get sent a hundred, and I simply don't have time. When all the Skulduggery books are written, I plan to take a week off and go and read every story I can find online, and smirk when people get close to the truth...
For those who are planning on coming along to a signing, I will sign whatever you bring with you- time permitting, of course! Bring all the books, we'll have a chat, I'll sign them, we'll go away happy...
And as for why am I not going to Belfast- well, see, I am, but it's a huge school event. The stuff I listed in the blog are the public events that anyone can come to- but there are LOADS of other stuff in between them all that have been organised with schools and book clubs.
For those of you living in the States, I cannot WAIT until I can go and visit you! Unfortunately, we're going to have to hold off until the sales pick up... sorry!
And as for Cork... hmm, good point. Why am I not going to Cork? I don't know, actually. The closest I'm going to get is Limerick! Sorry!
I'M BACK!
Derek, could you do the "short" story, with 200-300 pages in it set on us?
PLEASE!?
... Does everyone leave when I come?
I feel sad.
-Stands by wall and bashes head off it untill others comment-
"Depressed, Depressed, depressed..."
OW!
Germany????!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesss! My country :D
I hope it will be in Leipzig or something. Not in berlin...
-Stops bashing head off wall, realises no one will direct a comment to me and starts again-
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..."
AAAAAHHHHHHH DEREK!!! NOOOO!! PPPPPLLLLLEEEEAAASEEEE COME TO THE STATES!!! Every time I see that you aren't or that the newer books won't be released here, I want to cry. then I vent to my penpal in England and she sympathizes (sometimes) and even when she offers to send me a signed copy, I refuse because I want to meet you in person. :(
PLEASE come to Central Oregon! Its only fair because you mentioned my state in book 2 chapter 1.
So Every year because I refuse to wait. I support the UK and buy my books from amazon.uk because I'm not waiting an entire year before the book comes out here. PLEASE come! I was your VERY first American fan. I read it THE DAY it came out in America and have been a loyal fan ever since drawing scenes from ever book (wich i think are quite good), laughing or nearly crying depending on what scene it is and writting crossovers because I'm challanged when it comes to creating my own characters and plot lines. XD Have a great time touring and don't forget to come here. :)
Sarthacus, I really don't see how banging your head against the wall will help anything. XD just don't hurt your self to bad.
Golden god! You are back!! yayyyyy!! i'll read the blog now
OH MY GOD! YOU'RE SIGNING NEAR ME! YAAAAAY! Can't wait! :D If I have to, I will DRAG a parent out of the house to drive me there!
DEREK LANDY!! WHY AREN'T YOU COMING TO THE USA?!! WE LOVE YOU HERE TO!
hey bolt you there?
What time does the public sighning in Dubarrys end? Because my school ends at 4, so i coudl get the bus but i probably wont be there till five. Lol i'm not asking you to stay longer, just what time will the sighning be over?
-Stops killing my head- LIZZY!
Thank God (Golden God as well), I don't think I can take much more pain.
OOOOOOWWWWWW!!!
What is it?
Bluewater got it..... now to persuade my paraents *plans a plan*
I"M BACK. I caught 8 fish. Told you I would. And you doubted me. Can't wait until the 2nd. I'm so going to the singing in Dun Laoghaire. And when I was gone I got my other brother to read SP. He hates reading but he is devouring al the SP's and he likes them.
Hello, Darkane!
How was The Shannon?
8! WOW!
I'm going to Scouts in a few hours or so, so when I stop commenting I'll be at Scouts.
Darkane, Have you read Tenndrils?
Hey Sarthacus,
No I have not read them. Were are they?
Found them. They're good. Why are all the bullies called Drake. In the book gone the most evil guy is called Drake. He's so annoying. He just won't die. I mean, he got radiation thrown at him and he exploded but he didn't die. If you haven't read Gone read it now.
People post on my story (and for people who need inspiration for writing stories this may help) When I have more comments I'll post part 2.
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/08/story.html
yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay!! YAY! You are coming to Bluewater !!!At last! somewhere near where i live!!
Oh noo. oh nooooo. Last time I pre-ordered my book it was LATE. and if it is LATE. then i won't have it when you come to Kent. Oh nooo.
I hope I have Mortal Coil when you get here .
Good Luck with the Tour!!
xevax
Bye, Going to Scouts.
See-ya!
Damn I can't come to the Manchester one, as I don't know where the Trafford Centre is, and there is no more near us, and that Manchester isn't what you could call close.
Derek can you come to Huddersfield? Then I would be able to come, although it's still quite a while away, its not as much as Manchester, I need to travel 15 miles to get to huddersfield, and 30 to get to Manchester. Pllleeaaasseee come to huddersfield, although it's not a city or anything, its a pretty big town.
Post on my blog please people.
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/08/story.html
Mortal Coil is on order, although I need to wait until the release date, I do get it for half price.
I'ts so sad that youre going to Germany but not to Cologne!!!!!Is there a possibility of you coming someday to Cologne!!!?Berlin is just so FAR AWAY and not everyone is FLETCHER(thank god)
I'm coming to your signing on September 5th at Milton Keynes, can't wait to meet you. I LOVE your books. they are AMAZING.
Can't wait to read the next book, so excited.
I work in a library and am always promoting your book to anyone who will listen. :D
see you in Milton Keynes.
Hiya!
And i will definitely see you at Milton Keynes. I'm dragging my BFF along too: i let her borrow my books today, and i am forcing her to read each book before the book signing xD
No, it's not evil. It's making the world a better place xxx
Lenka
p.s: i will tell you my blog account name too, and i know that you'll remember it because you gave me a blog mention once due to my horrific English teacher for taking my notebook x I'm still thrilled with that blog mention, you know.
:)
I am in dublin right now!!! I HAVE RECORDED SOME OF THE SITES ACTUALLY IN SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT!!! OH AND I WILL BE THERE DEREK WHEN YOU COME TO WORCESTER! OH AND SOON MY FINDINGS WILL BE ON YOUTUBE FOR ALL TO SEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Last thing... I LOVE DUBLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarthacus- a short story with 200-300 pages in it? That there is a BOOK you're talking about...! The fact is, over the next few years, a few of you might find yourselves in the books or any short stories I might write. I did it with Mortal Coil, including two fans in the story as a surprise... but I can't promise anything!
Tymcon, signings usually take over two hours, so you should have plenty of time.
SP Horselover, I would LOVE to visit Oregon! A ex-girlfriend of mine came from Portland, and I've always wanted to turn up on her doorstep and go "Surprise! Give me cookies!"
Randomistdd- welcome to Dublin!
I'm so totally going to go all the way to Southampton to get one of those watches. They sound EPIC. And I totally can't wait for Mortal Coil! I really want to read about the contest winning character, (even if I didn't win.) And hopefully Clarabelle will get a little more attention this time? She's my all-time favourite Skulduggery character.
AHH I HOPE I CAN COMMEEE!!! If I doooo My names Maddie Fearn (Known occasionly as Gerren Hiyx to most people...) ahh I wanna be dere id give up cookies to come!!! *looks at cookies hugs cookies* well as long as they wernt my cookies.
im soo ANGRY >:( somebody spoiled mortal coil for me. they didnt warn it was a spoiler allert! im so ANGRY >:( boohoo :( its been spoiled. but im still gona read my signed copy from you. ( i pre ordered it from a website) thankyou so much for that! i mean u ACTUALLY touched and SIGNED the copy! u are so AWESOME oh golden one. im gona cherish that copy and protect it like it was the last copy in the world. and cookies are good :D
Ahh... I'm back from Scouts, and we cooked sausages, made smores, and drank jusice...
Mmmmm...
Wow, thank you Derek!
And yes, a book is what I meant... I mean, of course, you could put 400-500 pages in it... but I doubt you will... or will you?
You have put some of us in Mortal Coil? Hmmm. And what of book 6? Can we be in that?
Yes, keep writing untill you die... Which you won't as you're a god... or are you?
Have you heard red right hand yet? It really fits Serpine's tune.
OK, I will: POST AWAY!
Um... where is the post?
OK, people who read Tendrils: should I switch to 1st person:(I did this, I did that) Or keep with third person( He did this)?
1st person will mean I can postquicker, making it easier for me to write, 3d person will make it faraway, and harder for me to write.
Derek, I cant believe you have not had Tim Tams, what is wrong with you?!?
When in NZ you should have gone shopping for our crazy food and feasted, gained a few pounds to show for it too ;)
Have you ever had Pavlova? I just made one and its cooking in the oven as I...Type.
Delicious desert on a Sunday afternoon, what more could I ask for?
Did you know that Whitcoulls (Pretty much the only good stationary and book store in NZ) voted you as their top 50 in the kids section?
Aghhh, curse having an empty wallet >.< Wish I could but Mortal Coil
I am amazed that there are hard cover books of SP, I never even knew that until last week Hahaha, in NZ we only have the soft cover books, nothing wrong with that though :P
Have you noticed the length of the books change? Like the first books was way taller than the others, its make my book case look wonky ;)
OK, if no one posts in a few minuits (Didn't spell it right, I know) that I should do it in 3rd p or in 1st p I'll do 1st!
1st PERSON IT IS THEN! NEXT BLOG IN ABOUT 10 MINS!
Almost done Tendrils 6...
What library?
I had a really important question but I forgot it!
I hate forgetting things, my question is sitting right at the edge of my mind and I can't quiet think of it. Most annoying feeling EVER.
GOT IT. What car will Skulduggery have now that his Bentley is smushed. (Still can't believe you did that).
Thanks for explaining the Belfast thing. I mean, we have a lovely Waterstones there, but y'know...
Which school is it you're going to? Just so I can figure out if any of my friends go there so I can send them some stuff to get signed for me (:
Tendrils The Escape is up and running for those who want to read it.

OH Yeeess Master Landy of COURSE you're normal. :3 Fortunately, that is completely untrue.
Awwwwwwwwww!!!! You're not coming to United States AGAIN!!! I was Desperately wishing I would be honored with your presence, but no, again, I am let down. *Sticks out bottom lip and pouts profusely*
Will you EVER come here?????
Ooooh so you just need sales to pick up in the States?? Ok!! I'll help alllllll I can!! :3
Aw, not Australia again? Oh well, I suppose that it IS way way down under, (the only other thing down here is New Zealand and Antarctica... btw did you go in the end to visit your penguin friends? Evidently not, I'm passing on their disappointment Mr. Landy, their extreme disappointment... BEWARE THE PENGUIN'S DISAPPOINTMENT!)
ahem, anyway, if I was a kid with a couple of spare dollars hanging around, I would fly over but as it is, I'm poor... TT-TT = sadness.
Hope to see you soon down here again!
Peace out and keep smiling!
-Ybs
Thanks Kallista! I was just reading the comments I missed from the other blog. ^.^ I'll keep working on it soon.
Thank you too Claire!!
Aw Thanks Nicolette! I did say I couldn't write...I guess I just hadn't really tried. Thanks y'all for encouraging me to try!!!
:3
I read new spoilers on wikipedia. I am ashamed. I could not resist. The glory of Golden God's writing was soooooooo good!!!!!! I am not spoiling anything!! THOSE SPOILERS WERE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah!! Question for Derek! You know how you say that you don't know EXACTLY what will happen in each book, just the general plot line, have you ever had to delete a substantial amount or start over since it wasn't going anywhere? do you just sit in front of the computer, with no notes or anything about plot and just type away? or do you outline the plot on paper then fill in the gaps with hilarious and witty conversation? just curious is all... have a nice day!
no! gemma! you're gonna make me wanna go on too. I need to run from the computer now so I don't get tempted... BYE!
Come to Australia you are so awesome.
i have a blog but have no followers can anyone interested in following a Skulduggery Pleasant blog please follow.
Derek you are so cool
haha i've got mortal coil and finished in a day! :D it was so exciting and now i really want the next one! ergh... and im not gonna say anything about mortal coil, even though i really wanna...
oh im gonna say something but it does not effect the storyline in any way. Derek remember when fletcher and val went teleporting to a certain country for an hour holiday? yer well the parrot they saw wasn't a cockatoo it was a lorikeet... just keep that in mind...
Does anyone happen to know when Dark Days comes out in the US? I want to read it so much! Please?
Anyway, Derek Landy, your blog has cured my boredom! Sorry if you are being forced by a man with an arrow but it's still a wonderful blog... hehe sorry about that.
Australia rocks so Golden God will come here. 1 day I was invited to a writing camp. here's somthing I wrote:
the sky was glittered with diamonds and the pearls began to fall as it got colder; the white ballet.
hope you like!!
p.s
thats not copyright
use it if you need!! :)
Why, oh why can you not come to the USA? Is it because Skullduggery Pleasants not actually in our book stores? (Because if thats it, you should still come anyway. Maybe to our college park book festival....?)
Oh, and by the way I do believe I am slightly insane if not half crazy. Ha, ha (just kidding... sort of).
By the way, are you starting to enjoy writing your blog Mr. Landy?
YES! What Insanity Nova Moonshine and Lizzie said!!!! OMG!!!! SCREAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! DEREK! YOU MADE MY DAY! YOU ACCTUALLY REPLIED!!!! *Squee*
Oh, don't bother going to Portland. Its big and all, lots to do there. But the BEST city in Oregon is Bend. which is like, the dead center of Oregon and my all time favorite place. I wen't to the Barns and Noble book store today and got to hang out there for over an hour. It was awesome because I only get to do that "Once in a blue moon" :D
Please come! Oh! and another question i've haven't had answered yet. My dear british friend asked you for me if horses would appear in any of the books. You said maybe. Is it still a 'maybe' now? or a yes? *prays yes*
As you can tell. I love horses, and my horse is the best because she's absolutely HILARIOUS!. :D
God I love "Bruce all Mighty"...
From the words of Insanity Moonshine and Lizzy:

sincerely a fan who is really, very dissapointed that she read Mortal Coil before it was even supposed to come out and now has to wait another year…bollocks.
P.S. if you come to australia i shall bring you a packet of TimTams …they are, after all, quite delicious
So when are you coming to Australia next? You ARE coming back here right?!?! Please tell me you are!!
Oh, by the way, Mortal Coil is AWESOME!!!!!!
And like Acacia says, you HAVE to try TimTams when you come back!!! AND Milo!!
and vegemite too!! While you're at it, just try anything Australian that you can get your hands on!
Derek! I was wondering around today,. and just happened to wander into Riverbend books. And they had Mortal Coil. I almost screamed.It's awesome.
100th COmment! Whoo!
hello :)
i am truly gutted you're not coming to wales.

And Kallista your following my blog!
Golden God,
Look how many Aussie fans you have!!
When you do come maybe com to a town in New South Whales... Armidale perhaps???
OMG i pre-order a copy of mortal coil on the computer and then when i went shopping to day i went to a book shop looking for a book to read while i wait for my copy of mortal coil to come and they had it on sale and it was only $13 dollars right i felt like my head was going to explode (but i didn't because it would ruin all the books. I so can not ruin books) because i had pre-ordered book like when i first heard about it. I wanted to by it because i really wanted to read it but my mum said no because i had already brought it.
Derek, who were the two fans?
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/08/not-who-you-think-story-part-two.html

c u all later
hellboy
so yeah
and heres comment 2:
( this is my character )
i think i would be israel matteus. (love that name)
i think i would be adept, and also i would have a lever-action rifle with embroided designs in a leg-holster. every bullet is pretty much an explosive, but explodes with blue energy. it leaves a trail of blue energy in its wake.
but thats just my weapon. my power would be almost like a seer. i could see the many different possiblities of the next five minutes, and then choose the best one.
eg. confrontation with enemy: i look into the future and see...
a) if i hide, the enemy will not find me, give up, and go away.
b) try to reason with the enemy (depending on what i say, the enemy will leave or stay)
c) i fight the enemy and then get shot. :-\
many more variations, like if he shoots at me, then i'd have the choice of dodging left, right, up, down, or simply taking the shot. then it would be virtually impossible to kill me. ;D
it would almost be like a tree (like a family tree, rlly) with all of the different choices.
Example:
An intruder in my home____
/ \ \
Fight hide escape__
/ \ / \ / \
gun knife bed upstairs on foot car
/ | \ | | \
enemy shot me killed Can't find me! | can't catch me!
I am
hunted down
and killed :'(
and in my mind it will go through all of these variations, and i can choose the best one at my leisure.
plus, this will take place in less than a second, so that i dont have to sit there thinking about it. mwahahhaha...
hellboy
yep thats it now. bai bai,
hellboy
just realized how crappy those slashes n dashes look. dont even try reading it, folks. dont even try...
oh, cant wait to read ur new book. i promise i wont read the spoilers...no, sorry i will. im proud of my insanity and so should everyone else. unless ur insanity is really bad, in that case you might want to get urself a straight jacket.
MORTAL COIL IS EPIC!!!!
Oh almost forgot...
please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please come to Australia, more specifically New South Wales.

Lenka xox
I will definatly be coming to the bluewater signing even though Bluewater is about half an hour away from me, mabey even longer!
I have not finished reading Dark Days yet so i look forward to finding out what happens. After that, i can get reading mortal coil for school!
Hopefully by the start of school my book will be signed and i would be ready to bye and read Mortal Coil before my friends. I look forward to the book signing, see you then!!!
Charlie P :D
Why doesn't Finbar get a big sign, and then pick up Stony instead of Rocky? ^-^
AAAHHH!!!! Your coming to the trafford Centre!!!! I WILL BE THERE!!!! :D
lol, sounds like a plan katya.rocks :L are you taking Scapegrace as a ______________ (if you've read dark days you know what goes in the space) or as he was in the rest of the books? the Killer Supreme will strike again!
εїз - random butterfly ^_^
Ⓛⓔⓝⓚⓐ xox
I'm taking him as he is in the rest of the books :3
good, he was always better like that ◕ ‿ ◕
I know :D
Aaaaah!
You're going to come to Germany!!!!!!!!
Yes, that will be soo great!!!
I'm so happy now^^° :D :D
And I will be there!^^°
I'm so poor, I can't made a trailer for your competiton, 'cause I'm from Germany!
It's so unfair, but I've got a cousin in Irland!!!
But that doesn't work too...
I promise my parents that Irland is soo cool, and in the next week we move to Charrick on Shannon, to my Cousin!^^° :D :D
But that wouldn't work too. D: D: :( ;(
Mhmm, I'm writing a book and it is finish and...
I Like it...
Aaand are you a fast tapper?
to tip or to tap??
I don't know , im slowly, but fast^^°
And, I found the perfect actor for Skullduggery, okay, he is scottish and he has got red hair, and the photos of him in google are horrible, but hes good!^^°
His Name is (Yes, it's a men!^^°):
Tony Curran^^°
I love him^^°
Here is a link to a Tribute Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlRwhaG_IwY
He wear skirts^^°
And have Skullduggery not wear Suspender?
I hope, I havn't wrote some silly embarrassing shit (sorry), because I googled that word, because I didn't know that word.
Because a belt is very difficult to wear and an suspender are cooler!^^°
This is ridiculous why in the name of fraun do I have to scroll all the way down past hundreds of comments to find the place where i can finally post my own comment surely it makes more sense to put this at the top?
Can't wait to read mortal coil! I am sooo going to get a job at a book store purely to be one of those people who get sneak peeks at the books!
Please I beg of you come to Glasgow or better yet Braehead I swear we'll all be nice to you we'll even give you a cup of tea!!
(PLEASE NOTE, THIS MAY INCLUDE SLIGHT SPOILERS, SO READ ON AT OWN RISK)
Hello.
Sadly, for just a moment in time, I thought I was the only one to have read Mortal Coil.
Ah, but alas, I am not.
I am 301 pages through, and I must say, I love Big Russian Man.
Yes, his power is a tad...ick.
But interesting.
I thought I'd seen the worst with the Baron, but oh no.
This guy gives "Pokey Pokey" a whole new meaning.
Um...Derek...Caelan...is kinda...
(spoiler)
VALKYRIE, DEREK?!
Please, please, please don't make this into a bloody Twilight...
I'll kill mahself. (See, you can tell I'm not serious 'cause I used "mah" as apposed to "my")
But, seriously now...PLEASE KILL HIM.
If he continues his useless infatuation, I may have to shoot each page he appears in.
OH, AND YOU KNOW I WILL.
Also, do you have something against Americans?
You seem to hate them.
Billy-Ray, Davina Marr, Pennant, the American Sanctuary...
And hey, you mentioned Australia in Mortal Coil!
It's Winter here now, which I find wonderful, but completely stupid for you Irish folk.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I like rain and clouds, but don't you like to escape the rain and come to a hotter, drier place?
I apologize greatly if I'm getting the stereotype Irish mixed up with the real Irish...
And now I may have insulted many people...so...sorry.
Uh, question.
Will you have an Australian character in the books who doesn't say mate or g'day every five minutes?
It'd be great to be appreciated down here in the Great Southern Land...
You know, Australia is called Terra Australis, which means Southern Land.
Everyone probably already knew that...but oh well.
Great book, Derek. Though it's 1:31 AM, I'm gonna go read more.

Kallista, I know you follow my blog so you might want to read the second part.
It's not inappropriate, it's just really funny. It's my favorite movie now.
I am ashamed. I read the spoilers for Mortal Coil.
My friend has Mortal Coil. I will crawl all the way t her house if I have to to get it off her. And her house is a half hour drive from mine.
I've started writing Tendrils: -----.
And due to Dragona's request I have made the text smaller, and will try to make the page longer.
Will people stop posting crap on here that has nothing to do with the blog?!! seriously I might as well comment: I got a pet fish today, it's called fishy. Oh wait. It just died.
The closest tour to me is birmingham, which is about 40 mins away, but there must be sacrifices!!! Whenever I even see "ooh mortal coil is brill" I get annoyed cuz I think someone will right a spoiler without warning. I think i may be slightly paranoid.

It's actually my brother Jordan's birthday on the 1st, which is awesome, though I feel sorry for him since he has to go back to school on the same day. lmao. Wish him a happy Birthday though for me will you Derek? I've already got him a copy of Mortal Coil, all wrapped up nicely... that just means I can't read it now though. boooo :(
btw hi skyril.
i checked this like 2 mins ago and nothing was there and then skyril just posted, so i know ur on the computer. TALKKKKK!!!
Ok. :] I can't believe I'm making a story!!
Oh yeah and creating a blog. I'm not sure if this is the RIGHT way to do it, but I figurd it out this way soooo...
First, go you profile then click 'edit profile'.At the very TOP RIGHT! There are, like, 4 options. click on 'my account'.There are three sections of stuff. look at the 3rd section entitled 'my products'.Click 'blogger'.
You will then see, like, a box with your name in the top right of it. On the right side of that box there is a thing that says 'create a blog'. Click it. Then you can probably figure it out after that. :3
Derek, how you managed to make Mortal Coil the length it is is way beyond me.
why cant you come to australia
Yeah, come back to Australia. Go to Adelaide and Perth this time!!! PLEASE!
OMG DEREK!! MORTAL COIL IS AH-MAZ-A-ZING!!!! IT'S EPIC, FLAWLESS, DRAMATIC, HILARIOUS, ACTIONY AND HAWIEUFHPFUIWH!!!! SEE? I SPAZZED OUT ON THE KEYBOARD OF MY LAP TOP COZ I CAN'T DESCRIBE ITS EPIC AWESOMENESS!!!!!!! OH. MY. GOD. HOW ARE YOU SO AMAZING!!!?? REALLY, IN ALL HONESTY IF YOU'RE NOT INSANELY PROUD OF YOURSELF FOR ACCOMPLISHING ALL THIS, ALLOW ME TO YELL AT YOU THROUGH MY LAP TOP FOR A MOMENT.... ok, I'm done yelling. But no, really Derek. Your mind is amazing for everything you've given us, your little magical world that you share with us that provides us with an amazing and surreal escape from reality. I could not put Mortal Coil down. Honestly, I read it in under 10 hours non-stop. And now I've finished and I'm very sad. Coming to the sad part, tell me we do NOT have to wait til September next year for the sixth book. Pllleeeeeassseee. Can you do the whole "two books in a year" thing again next year?? Just an inquiry, it's not like I'm pressuring you to write faster or anything like that....ahem. And you know what would make us love you even more? If you wrote more than 9 Skulduggery books, in fact if they never ended that would also suffice. I'm not joking here when I say, the day that the Skulduggery series comes to an end will be a really sad time for all of us fans. But when that time comes (which won't be for a while, coz if you stick with your 9 book plan for Skulduggery, I'll be 20 by the time the 9th book comes out), you can be sure that all of your Minions will be awaiting more Derek-tastic adventures in book form...
aussie fans say Golden God is just sooo awesome he has to com to australia next book and come to nsw, plz. it would be soooooo awesome!! Right now i am green with envy because some people have read Mortal Coil! Soooooooooooo jealous!! I've read the series over 4 times and coming to a 5th once I've reread Dark Days. I'm going to time how long it takes. my wager is under 5 hours.

lets have a moments silence for the americans,
Dark Days comes to American shelves January 4th, 2011.
That was on wikipedia
And I still haven't read Dark Days, despite the fact there are so many copies and it's so shiny and purple. But it's too expensive for me to buy with my own money so I need to hunt for department stores that have a cheaper price! XD I can't wait to read it...
gemma: thats really sad and i agree….he we should charge them extra and send over copys…yeah that should work :D
Dear Mr Landy,

yes i have posted quite a bit but i was wondering if you guys got to choose who you wanted to be in the movie who would you be? (NO SKULDUGGERY OR VALKYRIE ALLOWED!!!!!) personally i would be clarabelle….oh what fun it would be!
squealed again, i am , still , ashamed
Personally i would be Tanith, wheather Golden God kills her off or not(I would be Valkyrie but someone said I couldn't)
I actually like,gulp,Twilight.
I know and I am ashamed but the only thing vampiric about me is that i'm thirsty for Mortal Coil.
Morning all.
While everyone is distracted I'm bring this to my room.
I really want to know what happened to Tanith an Ghastly. You people are evil, EVIL I TELL YOU.
Bye
I have to go shopping and see if I can find Mortal Coil anywhere.
what happened to tanith and ghastly!?
did they die? did tanith get pregnant or something? tell me or i'll die!! plzzzzzzzzzzzz!
ok I'm betterrrrrr plzzzzzzzzzzzz tell me whats happened to them!!
OH GOD NO I SHOULDN't of read that .. guys you were meant to warn them as spoilers I have just read something about tanith and am really annoyed rite now ...
WHY DIDN'T YOU OBEY THE GOLDEN GOD!!
as if that wasn't bad enough I'm not allowed to go to your book signing so I am now going to lock myself in the bathroom and be all depressed.
I am really fortunate to get a copy a month before th release date..... I got it about a month ago, don't worry there will be now SPOILERS i promise.
I LOVE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT!
I LOVE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT!
(Could be spoilers)
Sob.
I...finished Mortal Coil.
How could you, Derek?
I mean...HIM?
Why?
He...was...so awesome.
I loved him.
He was...odd.
You killed **********.
WHY???
WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
And ********.
AND you made ****** into a ********
I'm sorry, but...I didn't really like Mortal Coil. Too upsetting.
Great ending, but...too sad.
BUT, I must say, last few pages...
OH MY SATAN, I WAS RIGHT!!!!!
**** IS ***** AND HE'S ****!!!!!!
Valkyrie is (sorry) a complete bitch.
I can't believe she...she...
And CLARABELLE???!?!?!!?
Really?
REALLY, DEREK?
I...I...Book 6 better be bloody awesome.
I mean, Mortal Coil WAS awesome and all that waffle, and it really did show insight into many of the characters lives...but ******* WAS **** BY ****!!!!!!
I'm assuming I haven't spoiled anything much. If I have, I apologize. I like the winning character man. Scrutinous, yeah?
So, over all, a great, fantastically wonderful book, but a little too depressing for moi.
-Lynda
lynda,
i may not have read it but you have made me scream. Golden God is a amazing writer and would not make Mortal Coil horrible. He would make it awesome, words cannot describe how awesome he would make it. And someone said they did not like swearing on the blog so plz don't. Also, Golden God would not make Valkyrie unpleasant.
OMG what what did valkirye do? :O whos dead oh god
Gemma, Mortal Coil get quite depressing in some spots. I should know. I've read it twice already. But it is still really really really AWESOME!!!
I like sad books as much as the next person who likes sad books, but I don't like it when it happens to THE GREATEST CHARACTERS EVER!!!
who is the greatest character ever Kaeldra?
