While I'm not one hundred percent back to normal, I'm certainly getting there. The medication I've been given seems to have scattered my mind a little bit, making it hard to focus- but there are only a few pills left, and once they're gone, my great and glorious mind shall return...
In the meantime, I just want to let you know that at some stage over the next few days, I'll be posting the REAL cover to Skulduggery 6 here on this Blog, and not Tom's sketch that has been doing the rounds on the interweb. Along with that, you'll also be getting the official title, which may or may not be what you're expecting.
At the moment, Tom is finishing up the cover and it's looking- no surprise here- absolutely amazing. You better have a bucket handy, because when the cover is revealed your heads are going to explode and your brains are going to need something to leak into. Which is, I'll freely admit, somewhat gross.

gah gotta go sorry :/
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!
NEW BOOK COVER I CANNOT W8!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOK 6
i'm all alone here
1) Do you think there is such a thing as over obsessed???
Yes. Yes I do. I think you're proof of it....!
2) If you could do ANYTHING at this exact moment what would it be???
Get back to normal! I want to get back to training!
3) Why is the book series called Skulduggery Pleasant because right now it seems to be more about Valkyrie than Skulduggery?
The series was always going to be about Val, but Skulduggery is the iconic character with the best name...! You could say the same thing about Sherlock Holmes- why are they Sherlock Holmes stories when they're actually narrated by Watson? Shouldn't they be the Dr Watson stories, featuring Sherlock Holmes?
4) can you post a chapter of the new book?!
I'll be looking into that possibility once the edit is finished, I swear...!
Derek will we see more of the white Cleaver because he vanished after book 3
And Solomon is he dead or just missing?
Can you give us a clue to Skulduggery's given name
like a game of hangman or something
*comes walking in yelling over the phone to her mum*
I AM TALKING LOUDLY BECAUSE YOU DO! YES! NO! OKAY! LOVE YOU! I WILL SEE YOU LATER!
*stops*
*sees what derek posted*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
WE'RE GONNA SEE THE COVER! WE;RE GONNA HEAR THE TITLE! I AM SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!
*faints*
I found out what Skulduggery means(yes its not a piece of mumbo-jumbo ) It means sly and cunning which summarises him up really
*wakes up*
i'm alone...
oh well! i'll just think up questions for derek to answer!
*evil grin*
OH! yes, i already knew that about skulduggery! :)
I bet the title has shadow in it like
"THE SHADOW OF LIFE" or something or its just going to be called"THE DEATH BRINGER" who knows?
Is the Angel of death going to be involved (AKA Grim Reaper) because Skulduggery cheated death
Hey Derek when are you going to put more characters on the character page its only had that many for 3 years
Will demons ever be involved because there so unpredictable and there is a SHADOW DEMON which might tickle your brain for a few ideas
What? I missed Skulgirl? And Derek? WHY!!!
DEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
ANSWER THESE! pwease...
1. Do you have a favourite character, and if so, who is it?
2. Is anyone going to die in this book coming? (I know that you probably won't tell me, but one can always hope...)
3. Did you purposefully say that there would be nine books, and start them off with Val being twelve? Because I've done the math, and for the last book, she SHOULD be exactly twenty...
4. What would you say would be the number for 'too many questions'?
5. Do you prefer strawberrys or bananas?
6. Will you ever forgive me for cutting a picture of your face in half? I DID only choose you 'cause I admired you, then my teacher told us to cut the pics!
7. Do you think I should stop here?
8. How are you able to come up with such great lines for your characters?
9. What do you think of my pictures of Val and Skulduggery?

(go down the page)
10. Did you answer all of these?
I am going loopy from the need to read your books, and so TRY TO HURRY IT ALL UP! I don't care how, but I have to get the next book soon! GO SKULDUGGERY! :D
Derek could you estimate how many pages there are in it?
YES DO THAT ESTIMATING THINGY!
Im guessing 650 pages
Oh and Derek I know that you have a major book series to write and you've been ill but
*sobs*
You still haven't answered my 64 questions. You said you'd get round to it sometime.
Have you even started?

HIYA!!!
this is my first ever comment, soo ..yey for me??!!

glad your getting better Derek :)
cant wait to see the new cover.
hahaha little story to tell:
the other day in WHSmith, i was reading the new short stories which are in the back of the paperbacks (i only buy the books when they very first come out, so i only have the hardbacks)
and as i was reading one of the workers there kept appearing out of no where and watching me!!! she wanted rid of me becuase she knew i wasnt going to buy the book!!! very funny :D
Who's online?!
yes but ur not a punky, irritable guy who tried to hit me with one o them foamy swimming things...
hehe so i grabbed it and he pulled so hard that he fell into the couch when i let go :)
im prob NOT the best babysitter ever...
I am Sadhbh
*extends hand*
But you dealt with him Rachel
*glances at rach*
*laughs*
you sound like a great babysitter!
*glares at vlad*
I mean when someone has a sponge you act fast
hehe i suppose... :)
i did that divadexter, i hope derek puts all the shorts into one book at some point. i cant be bothered buying them ALL again just to read them
*gets fed up *
WILL YOU STOP GLARING AT ME
*stops when he notices everyone staring at him*
4 of my books are paperbacks the other one is a hardback
...iv forgotten how to make folks friends on blogger. i have some but iv forgotten how i did it...
