Edinburgh


Well now... this IS interesting.

As you may or may not know, I’m heading over to Edinburgh on the 15th of August for the Book Festival. It’s a big festival, one of the best-known in the world, and I’m happy to be a part of it. Some of you from this Blog are going, and a few weeks ago one of you asked if Death Bringer would be available to buy on the day. I laughed, shook my head in a wise sort of way, and gently told the lad that no, it will not be available, and that he’d have to wait a further two weeks like everyone else. The start of September, I said, is when it will be unleashed. Not even the legendary Edinburgh Book Festival will get my publishers to change their mind about THAT.

Ahem.

And so I must backtrack, and eat my words, and announce that yes indeedy, Death Bringer will be available to buy at the Edinburgh Book Festival...!

We’re releasing it two weeks early so that the readers who attend the event can be the first to get the book signed- but there are some rules.

Rule Number One: The book will ONLY be available to buy for FOUR HOURS on the 15th. Once those four hours are up, the remaining books will be packed up and hidden away until the proper release date.

Rule Number Two: Those who DO attend and who DO buy the book must swear a solemn oath to NOT divulge ANY spoilers, not matter how much others may beg. ESPECIALLY not the twist in the middle!

Rule Number Three: Do not talk about Fight Club.

Over the next few days we’ll be putting up various things on the Skulduggery website and Forums and Facebook pages with more details about what’s going on, ticket information, things like that. For those of you who can go, the chance to get the book early is pretty cool. For those of you who can’t go... well... at least you’ll only have another two weeks to wait...

Dear Mr. Landy,

There is no fight club.

http://uncrate.com/stuff/fight-club-soap/

One of the more disturbing products I've seen for sale.

You know where would be a GREAT place to have a book signing and sell books? San Francisco! Bit of a drive for me, but I won't ask you to come to the valley. Afraid you'll evaporate or summat.

Please answer Octa's question... Actually, please be in Dublin when he is. He's supposed to glomp you for me.

I must be going now!

Love,
me


Dear everyone else,
It's my and Anndrew's anniversary today! 18 years, wow. So we'll be gone all day. See you tomorrow!

*hugs*

ValkyrieVamp said...

Yes. Sometimes, just sometimes, I can fully appreciate the advantages of living a half hour from Edinburgh.

:)

ValkyrieVamp said...

It's naratsukiko btw, for anyone who's interested

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi ValkyrieVamp.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

I'm good, and you?

lego said...

there are two versions of me...and then venice.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

?

lego said...

kind of doing the "I hate everyone" thing. Which is really not fair of me, seeing as I don't know most people in the world.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Ah…

Cool.

lego said...

I logged in from two different computers. Dragona made the second one a member, so it's showing up for some weird reason.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Make a proper account, it's very useful in that situation.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

*sigh*

lego said...

sorry to leave you alone, but I really need to do some work now. bye! *hugs*

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!

Bye Legolas!!!¡¡¡!!!

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

I'm good, nothing much has happened for a while, only Fanfics and books have kept me from spiralling off the edge of sanity though, the days are dull…

Thank goodness Octa has a whole library's worth of books to read!

:D

Crescent said...

QUICK, QUICK!! I HAVE WRITTEN TWO NEW FAN FICS!!! http://jettemoondarke.blogspot.com/

Mar-Chu said...

I AM SO...SICK AND TIRED OF THIS TRIP! IT's NOT ENDING ON A GOOD NOTE! NOW I JUST FOUND OUT SOME LUCKY WEIRDOS ARE GOING TO GET THE BOOK BEFORE ME!

I must say, I'm I bit terrified.

BUT SERIOUSLY! NOW I FOUND OUT THERE'S A TWIST IN THE MIDDLE?!

C'MON DEREK!!!

AND NOW I'M GETTING A HEAD ACHE BECAUSE OF MY COUSIN! I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH HER AROUND (Meaning I cant freakin Write. I cant even BRAINSTORM. Or THINK!), AND TOMARROW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOUR HOURS ON A PLANE!!!!

AND I DIDNT THINK TO BRING A SKULDUGGERY BOOK! NOT ONE!!!!!

(I may have a few other books to read, but those are NOTHING like Skul-Man)

RARRRARRRARRRARRRR!

THE NEXT PERSON TO FURTHUR MAKE MY DAY SUCK, I WILL NEVER AGNOWLAGE YOUR EXISTENCE AGAIN!

Crescent said...

Mar-Chu said...

*wacks Crimson*

Shuttup. You shouldn't make people look at things because of that.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Crescent said...

How come you whacked me, March?

Mar-Chu said...

I'm tired. I miss my dog. Im hungry. I miss my dog. I miss my dog. I miss her i miss her i miss her...

*hugs stuffed Elephant*

At least I still have you, huh Julia?

*no response*

...but YOU don't...(try) and catch rabid squirrels for me...

...did you know one of the reasons that we moved (I think, anyway-), is because in my old neighborhood, when you would be walking and pass by a squirrel, the squirrel wouldn't run away, It was snarl at you?

...true story.

Crescent said...

When you said you shouldnt make people look at things because of that a) im not making anyone do anything, its their choice b) make people look at what things?? c) and make people look at things because of what????

Crescent said...

If the SP books were ever made into a movie, I think this would be the PERFECT theme tune for it. This always reminds me of SP every time i hear it. Well, the serious aspect of SP not the wise cracking Skul man part :P gtg, i need sleep

lego said...

Can you come to Singapore? Please? *batts eyelids*

Serena })i({ said...

Nora said...

Buh... I live in Finland and I would just love to go to England.. but I have to work (gonna get money to living on my own ;D) but I did pre-odored The Death Bringer in Finland's book store so I'll be one of the first in Finland who gets it!!!! :DDD <3

Becky Allaker said...

Oh God. Derek, why? WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE SAID THIS SOONER AND I WOULD HAVE HAD THE FRIKKEN TIME TO SAVE UP THE MONEY TO FREAKING WELL COME.

I'm actually so depressed...

*wonders off to beg some people with Olivia*





.....BUTSERIOUSLY. WHO EVEN LIVES IN SCOTLAND? WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT IN CENTRAL ENGLAND JGDBUEHOIHWQOHFWOQDJOWJDOUJFOI. I can't wait that long knowing that some people have read it... I WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO GO ON THE SP FACEBOOK PAGE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL SPOIL IT. PEOPLE, WHO INVENTED THEM?


*breath intake* Okay, I'll wear a skirt, and paint on a beard and smuggle myself into Scotland. LIKETHAT'LLWORKOHMYGOD.

Blood Butterflies said...

HI GUYS! anyone home?

Dragona Pine said...

*parachutes in through the roof whilst whistling the Hawaii Five 0 theme*


Hey guys.

Becky Allaker said...

TOOTH ACHE AND COLD IS NOT HELPING WITH THE DEPRESSIVE STRESS GODAMMIT.

*SIGH*

In other news, Derek, yano you're doing a signing in.... Waddyamacallit.... Bromley Glades. Well, me and Olivia, you know her, Flaring, the one who gives authors buns in tins, well, she MIGHT be flying over from ze homeland, just to come to that signing with me and a few other guys. But if Livvy DOESN'T come (I'll be so gutted if she doesn't :C), you can most likely expect to see ME in Cambridge. Or Milton Keynes if you're doing another signing there.


You know, I wouldn't have been to half the places I've been to if it weren't for SP.... and I wouldn't be as good at drawing.... And I'd have never met all my awesome friends.... Heh.... Me reading these books was meant to be~


OKAY, Imma stop it with the soppy stuff now. You know how you said I could bring as much as I want to a signing? ....Would you like a list of what I actually have to bring, for you to sign...? Because it's a rather.... BIG list, to be honest with you. And when I say big... I mean insanely large and you're going to want to kill me.


Okay, so...
SP 1hb, 2hb and 6hb for Ashley... I don't know if I'm taking a book for you to sign for Faith (I recruited an 8-year-old fan. She loves the books SO much.)
I also don't know if my sister-in-law is coming. My nephew wants to come, but he has the books and hasn't read them. And I'm actually NOT letting him come, or get his books signed if he hasn't read at least one, because you're not a fan if you haven't read them. I know it kinda sounds cruel, but really. No. Even if he IS my nephew XD
But yeah, list... SP proof copy (I have an American proof copy too, but I don't want that signed because I'm weird XD), uh... I need to go look at what I've got *drags lap top upstairs and plonks but in SP worship ground* Ooookay, so. SP1 hardback, I have a NEW hardback of PWF but I got my old one signed so no... Uuuuuh... SP1 paperback with coloured edges... Might bring the first SP1 I got, which is LITERALLY falling apart, as in... Pages fall out and some are only just hanging on. TFO paperback, coloured edges. New paperbacks of 1, PWF, TFO and MC, my SP art file (You will LOVE the SP art file. I made it, and it's so epic XD) I MIGHT bring my posters, but they're so damn AWKWARD... I have drawings to bring! These are the two I really want you to sign: http://fav.me/d3ddcwf and http://fav.me/d3hbtrx I have a Mortal Coil audio book... But there's no immediate way of signing that XD. I have all the SP stuff I got from Harper Collins that I might drag along. I've got, like, LARGE paperbacks of SP and PWF that I might bring, too. AND, obviously, I'm bringing all my best drawings for you to see, because you said you'd like to :D OH! I have this AWESOME Fimo Skul that I made. BUT... It's kind of just his head because the blue Fimo, for his suit just crumbled. And it was NEW. -.-" So I might bring a Fimo Skul XD. I might make it into a necklace. I could do that.... Oh yeah, and I'll have Death Bringer.

M'kay, dome. Sorry for the mile long comments.


YOU BETTER REPLY TO THIS, MAN, AS YOU'RE SO ABSENT ON BEBO.

Dragona Pine said...

I'm OK thanks. Sorry about the slow reply.

Octa said...

MASTER DEREK!

DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION YET?

Now I know that minions always ask if you will go visit them but how many minions are there who make the effort to go to you instead?

(It may be absolutely loads in which case my point is no longer valid but never mind about that).

I and my brother Pyro are going to Dublin on the 12th and 13th August and we would really love to meet you!!!!

Please reply saying if your in Dublin or not. You know you love meeting your crazy blog minions really.

Mary Contrary said...

:(

Me want 2 week early Death Bringer...
Not fair...
Couldn't you send me a super special early copy? Like, just for me? I could pre-pre-order it? That would be SO amazing. :D
But, not very likely...

Oh well, I can wait for the normal release date...
hrmmm... If I pre-order it, I will probably get it earlier than if I don't... And pre-pre-ordering doesn't exist (as far as I know)...

Anywaay...

Can't wait for Death Bringer! (even if I can't get it early...)

Anyway...

Hi!

Darkane Claw said...

FRENCH THE LLAMA! I MIGHT GET TO GO!!!!!!!

Darkane Claw said...

Oh and Derek. Can you post up the times that Death Bringer is going to be on sale there?

Schrodinger's Cat said...

Oh great, it sure is brilliant to be on the other side of the world. Damn Edinborough and it's geographically inconvenient location.

Anonymous said...

Will you be coming to Australia any time soon? I really want to meet you and get my books signed :(

Schrodinger's Cat said...

Diddo what Random Smiley said XD

Crescent said...

Hello.

Dragona Pine said...

I'm not asking you to change your OCs name back, only your name on here and on the chat.
You called me a bad friend, but yet you're the one who hurt me. It's understandable that I don't want to be friends with someone who has hurt me.
I am friends with Crescent, not Crimson or "C".

June Clarence said...

Nooooo! Why, oh WHY do I live in Germany? How about this: you send one of those books straight to my home and get my neverending gratitude in return? No? That`s too bad =(

Also, Death Bringer is the first to be released on the long list of things I´m waiting for (others include a new Terry Pratchett book, Mentalist Season 4 and Castle Season 4 - TV junkie here!). Well, I guess the remaining time until September is as good as any to read the Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy, right?

So looking forward to the tour dates, please don´t forget!

Crescent said...

But Dragona, how have I hurt you? Please explaine this to me :(

Dragona Pine said...

I have a deep hate for name and picture changes. I can't help it. I don't know why I have it and I can't solve it, and I don't even want to hate it. But I do nevertheless.
Many people have changed their names and pictures in the past and then blame it on me when I ask them to change it back.
I really want you to change it back "Crimson" but not your OCs name, you can do what you want with that, only your name on Blogger and the chat.
I honestly don't know why I hate it and I really don't want to hate it. I would really appriciate it if you change it back.

Dragona Pine said...

I will unban you from the chat if you do, and you can talk to us again. I'm sorry for banning you but it needed to be done.

Crescent said...

And even if I did change my name back, what would it matter? Look, scratch, that, I'm not arguing with you anymore Pine. I'm leaving. Goodbye friends.

Dragona Pine said...

Like, names changes are the things I hate most in the world. Picture changes come in second.

Dragona Pine said...

Bye bye "Crimson"

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Ann Marie said...

Yeah! We went to the fair and looked at goats and cows! And rabbits and chickens and a very few cavies. And we saw a Michael Jackson impersonator, and the kids went on rides while I looked at the creative arts exhibits, which were awesome. Way better than last time I went, which was years ago. And we had overpriced fair food that wasn't that great!

Aden "Mr Angry Hat" said...

Oh how living in Australia sucks.

lego said...

Ann Marie said...

Ok, and now I'm really going. Thanks for coming to say hi to me! (((Lego)))

I am deeply disappointed in my parents' choice of being American when they could be something more useful to me like Scottish or Irish (well we are that, but not citizens) so I can be nearer to the action and amazingness of Skulduggery Pleasant. But the Book Festival sounds like heaven, can you post some pictures of it, if you get the chance? Thank you golden god :) Have fun!

OK DEREK! YOU'VE HAD OVER 24 HOURS TO REPLY! EITHER YOU DON'T CHECK YOUR BLOG DAILY (well you are an extremely busy person, so I don't really expect you to) OR YOU'RE IGNORING ME?

*pokes Derek*

Are you ignoring me? Are you? Are you?

Mmmmm....?

MASTER DEREK!

DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION YET?

Now I know that minions always ask if you will go visit them but how many minions are there who make the effort to go to you instead?

(It may be absolutely loads in which case my point is no longer valid but never mind about that).

I and my brother Pyro are going to Dublin on the 12th and 13th August and we would really love to meet you!!!!

Please reply saying if your in Dublin or not. You know you love meeting your crazy blog minions really.

*puppy dog eyes*

PLUS I MADE YOU A SURPRISE PRESENT!

*enters higher spamming mode*

DON'T IGNORE ME!

I know you're busy really. I just wanted the fun of spamming you a bit longer :P

~pulls hair out~
I want to go to Edinburgh!!
Oo! Oo!
I have an idea!
Why don't you, Mr Landy, get together with the great people of the festival and convince them to move it to New Orleans, Louisiana, United States?? :D
Doesn't that sound like a brilliant idea??

..... no?

~cries in a corner~

Nerdy Skeleton said...

Kind sir, as payback for being like that and releasing your epic installment that will make us scream and curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you 2 weeks EARLIER, take a hop across the pond to visit us Americans. Mostly, come to Philadelphia. That's pretty much where I am. You really should. The fan base isn't as big, but I'm sure I could band together my little SP obsessed group of friends to meet you. If you could convince your publishers to release the book 2 weeks earlier, you could convince them to come to America. If you were to come here and promote the books, perhaps the fan base in the US would increase. We're easily swayed.

Normally I don't whine about this stuff. And I'm not TRYING to whine. But dude, think about it. You could come to America with your fancy accent and we'd be drooling because of said fancy accent. See how freaking obsessed with Twilight and cry with me at the insanity that is "Bieber Fever"

This comment is rambling and pointless, and will get lost in between all the comments left by people who's usernames are their taken names. It's chill.

I shall never get to meet you in person and that makes me sad. (whine whine whine whine)

You are an epic dude and whichever countries you visit are not your fault, I suppose. Ah, well. And I have somehow ended up by saying I'm totally cool with all this, so whatever.

All this of releasing books early will be forgotten when I hold the book in my hand and am yelling at you instead for the "twist in the middle" of which you speak.

You evil, evil, EVIL Golden God.

Lochaisha Glow said...

still alone!

Lochaisha Glow said...

I would really like you to talk to us more often Derek! I'm already very angry that you would organise to release the book early and hardly give us time to plan something!!! but i suppose i can't stay mad when we wouldn't even have Skulduggery Pleasant in our lives if it weren't for you and right now i really feel like reading Dark Days so i'm going to stop babbling onb and read!!!! :)
though, back to the subject please talk to us more! though this comment will probably not be read :(

Lochaisha Glow said...

if anyone would like to know anything about Skulduggery or Doctor Who please visit my blog 'skullgirl-18'though it was only made today and i'm going to add a lot more to it!

if you like it so far and can imagine what it will be once i add more etc. please follow it :D
