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...

Hi..
Hi al!!!¡¡¡!!!
GEPARD!!! :D
~glomps~
Fantastic to see you! :]
HI PYRO! :D
Pyro!!!
~glomps~
Hullo! :]
How are the two of you doing?
Hi Gepard!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hi Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
I'm doing great, I'm trying to find inspiration for SFD Part 3.
It's tricky, I've had no inspiration to write anything, Fanfic or poetry, for ages.
Well, you're not actually seeing me :P
Umm I'm good I suppose, re-writing the whole book of Sam Willows :D
Same characters, same plot, different scenes, past, and future.
Hello all, can someone seriously tell me what the clue is??? I caaaaannntt finddd it!!! :/
@Pyro
You know what helped me when I had writer's block?
I took a whole new perspective. Instead of writing because I want it written and posted, I wrote because I wanted to have fun. I decided to never again look at writing as work, but rather a very enjoyable pastime where I could make things come to life!
I don't know if it will help you at all, but maybe it will :]
@Gepard
lol, well, seeing you username and chatting with you in Dereksville Blogland :P
Really? Are you doing it for fun or because you got a new idea? :]
Hullo, Ashers!
~waves~
It's down and to the left on that page it takes you to. You'll see a square SP box thingie. :]
Derek, you slay me every time you post something new because it almost always is about some tour or event I can't go to. You should come to Belfast and all will be forgiven, I swear :3
So the link that brings you onto the actual game is the clue??
~nods to Bethany's comment except replacing Belfast with Louisiana or anywhere in the United States really....~
Yup!
Hello guys!
ooooOooOOOOOoooOOh, okays thanks :) I actually can't play these kind of games!
And Derek should come to Belfast!!
Hows everyone doing? Life treating you nicely?
HE SHOULD COME TO LUNDUN (london :P)
also, hi! how are you all?
and what link?
Hi Ashers!!!¡¡¡!!!
What clues are we talking about here?
Hi Bones and Venice!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hello Pyro!
Hiya, Bone and Venice!!
~glomps~
I'm doing fine, thanks to whomever asked :P
How are you two doing?
Been better, been worse. ^^
my biceps still hurt... damn injections :@
but im good, cant decide what to draw... fan-art, deffo...
OHH, SCI-FI SP, that was it!! but armor takes forever... screw it, I'm just going to sketch nonsesical fan service. (ghastly in swim shorts FTW)
Is anyone else going to Edinburgh? I know Rachel's trying to get tickets and Octa told me Sarthacus was going.
@Bones
So basically... you feel neutral..... :P
@Bones
LOL
FTW!
Elllloo! Oh on the skulduggery game on disney, i thought there was like an actual clue or something you had to find on the page, but it was only the link taking you to the game :)
Not that I know of, Bones :/
I wish I could go, but alas, I cannot...
Ah well. When i get it, I shall kiss my Death Bringer in your name!
...
Unless that's weird.
only a bit Bones... only a bit...
LOL xD
Nay, nay, Bones, kiss away
... :P
Not sure…
Me and Octa are going to Ireland a short while before the festival and Octa is under the delusion that we might meet Derek himself!
OMG YES LOL
ask him about the points system!
Well Pyro, if you wish for something enough in your heart, You might just have some weird illusion where it comes true ^^
Hey, guys, I have to go. I think I'll only be gone for about and hour, though, so I hope you're all still here when I get back! :]
@Bones or it won't, and Octa will be hoplessly crushed.
Okay, bye Skyril! *glomps for first time*
What a weird sensation... It feels like I'm almost... happy...
Bye Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hi Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
*glomps*
Glad that you can comment again!
:D
hey Kal!
Hello Kallista!
Happy midnight!
*silver and red confetti bursts all around Blogland*
Silver and red in celebration of the colours of Death Bringer ^^
cop?
WHO CALLED THE FUZZ?
nah im just messing with you kal. you good?
OMG CONFETTI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *gives up* *sits on floor, sulking*
I just read the Prolouge and the first 3 chapters of Death Bringer online, and I am in awe. ^^ I almost died of laughter in Chapter 2 and 3, yet I was oddly serious in the Prolouge and most of Chapter 1. I love it so much, and so many secrets are revealed in the first few chapters, like Valkyrie's sister's name, a hidden surprising plot thing in the prolouge, and the Jitter Girls!
For anyone who wants, you can get it here - http://www.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk/data/pdf/589X_tx.pdf
Unless you've already read it then sorry to waste your time with this comment lol ^^
And now I can't stop listening to People are Strange by The Doors ^^
Shall I take this silence as a sign that you're all reading it now? ^^
we've already read it... just most of us are writing or sleeping, i think :/
Ahh... So I'm just embarassingly late?
lololooololol!!
no
well, yes. but its fine :P
nice to meet you BTW
You too. I don't think I've ever met someone in such an embarassing way before...
Nah, I don't get embarassed easily... or at least that's what I pretend.
nah, chill, its fine
im writing, so will be slow to reply (if i do at all) :P
That's fine. I'm spacing out, so I might be slow too ^^
Hey!
Hiya Lizzy! Sorry but I've gotta go now. See you some other time!
Hi Bones, bye Bones!
Heya, Lzzy and Bones!
~glomps~
Oh wait, Bones just left...
Farewell, Bones!
~waves madly~
Hey Skyril! *glomps* how are you?
I claim this page for Roast-that has been cooked for 7 hours- and Carrots and Potatoes over rice!
And for all you Blogland folks, of course :P
I'm good, Lizzy! Thanks! how about you?

Mwahahahaa!
~does victory dance~
Oooo, roast, how yummy!
*ahem* yes, now that I am paying attention and not zoning out, wazzup?
LOL :P
Well, not a whole lot... I've had kinda a lot of odd weather lately and have heard that at some point this year, I think, that Florida and Mississippi and Georgia and Louisiana are supposedly going to brake off from the continent and float off into the Atlantic...
I don't really believe it, of course, but still... it's quite an interesting tail....
o.O whoa, really? that would be so weird. :P I hate to be standing over the fault line when it breaks :P
LOL I know, right?
If it does occur, however, be prepared for the continent of Skyril to take over the world ;-]
I suddenly feel very afraid *hides under couch* :P
Check out this awesome video i found!
http://vimeo.com/24302498
LOL Mwahahahaha!
Alright!
Hey, that's awesome! I like that! :D
Isn't it great? i must now go drink coffee, write some stuff down, clean my room and sing in the shower while carrying a notebook ^^
LOL :P Yes indeed! :D
Actually I'm going to go write, brb
Oh, alright, lol
Oh btw, did you read my fanfic? It's new ^^
What? You have a fan-fic?? No, I haven't read it!
Yup, fanfic has temporarily started again ^^
http://skulfanfic.blogspot.com/2011/07/this-is-spartaaaaa-jk-its-really-fanfic.html
Hey Kal! *hugs* How's your computer treating you?
Kallista!!
~glomps~
Good to see you! :D
How are you doing?
Awww, *hugs* It will be ok ^^
Awww, I'm sorry Kal. :/
I wish he would open his eyes to the great blessings he has.
~Hugs her~
Back, mum just cut up a watermelon so i went to get some ^^
~smacks Kallista's comp~
Stop being annoying, now, I mean it!
Oo, I love watermelon :]
~steals a slice~
*hands Kal and Skyril watermelon* i love watermelon too! ^^
I have to go now, Halo wants the comp ^^ Kal if your comp is working i'll email you ^^
Yay! More watermelon!
We used to have this tradition in the summer that when it was raining outside, we'd go out under the little room outside and cut up a watermelon and eat it whilst watching the rain, but we don't do that anymore since we moved, like, 9-10 years ago.
Aw, farewell, Lizzy!
~waves madly~
Hi, first time posting.
Mr. Landy, of the last three books, do you think you'll be able to do early releases like this again at book fairs in North America? I'm sure a lot of fans in both America and Canada would love for you to come over seas to visit.
Also, is it lame that I burst out laughing at Rule 3? I didn't see that one coming.
I sound pretty uptight in this comment :/
LOL, Fly!
#1
We most certainly WOULD love to out Master Derek visit the United States!
~smiles hopefully at him~
#2
Nah, I don't think it's weird!
#3
I LIKE SWEET TEA!!!
... And schizophrenia....
I've got to go now!
Farewell, guys!
~waves madly~
Skyril, green tea is the way to go. Not only good is it great to drink at meals, but it's also one of my favorite flavors of ice cream.
Anyone here?
Dear Mr. Landy,
Please do not crush Octa. As the designated Fairy Blogmother, I suspect I'd be in charge of cleaning up the mess, and I don't fancy scraping his organs out of the carpet.
Anyway, I'm really rather fond of him.
Thanks and love,
me
Hellooo????????????????????
Hi guys.
This is HIDEOUSLY early, even for my standards. I left my PS3 downloaded overnight, DAMN YOU BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 FOR BEING SO BIG!
And now I've been on it, and woke up early to be able to do so.
The game is awesome! On my first match, not even level 1, people started shooting at me, thinking I was going to die easily. I took them by surprise and owned them. Hehe.
Silly people.
And I spent like 40mins trying to figure out how I make an EA account, it turns out that my email is already in use? 0o so I made a new email and used that to create an EA account so I could go online.
*yawns* Hi.. Oh, Lily! I don't suppose you're still up?
*yawns* Hi... Oh, Ann! I don't suppose you're still here?
Niall! Yeah, am reading goat forum, though, and kinda forgot to check back here. Oops. Good morning! How are you?
I'm good.
What forum?
LOL. Why? You getting goats? You going to stalk me there? I haven't posted in ages. Once I actually had goats, I went out of research mode. I should get back into it.
www.dairygoatinfo.com
The people down our lane used to keep goats. I would feed them carrots. ^^
then they died.,.
Oh, sad. Mine are not crazy about carrots. The doe loves raisins, and the wether likes peanut butter crackers. I know other people's goats like peanuts in the shell, but mine won't touch them. They're so funny. <3
Your mimi-farm sounds fun...
All we have is moocows. Moocows and machinery.
I had to bale hay the other day... Not fun.
Highlight of that: Chillin' in the back of a moving jeep is always fun. It's more fun when a frog hops in with you. Also when my uncle got stuck and started swearing like a sailor who stubbed his toe.
I didn't know you had a farm! RS wants a cow. I like Jersey cows. They are pretty, and not too big. I still don't want one, though.
What kind of hay do you have there? Surprised you get enough dry weather to bale, actually.
It's not technically our farm. It's my grandfather's, but all that seperates us is two fields. (Which I ran across yesterday because I thought their house was on fire. ;^_^ )
I'll be honest, I have no idea what kind of hay it is... And yeah, we had to wait for a dry spell and do it then...
YOu don't know what kind of hay it is! That's so weird. I'm jealous, I wish I had hay to bale. And, um, a baler.
Whose fields?
And actually, nm. Anndrew is nearly home, I have to figure out what's for dinner.
*hugs* Bye!
Bye!
(They're granda's fields in the middle, btw.)
Ah, baling!
We were cuttin a few days ago, and bobbin, cept then the was a drop of rain... Anyway we should be balin now
OoOoOoOh how I love balin!
Such craic!
Hi anyways
Heyo!
I'd actually been gone for ages, and then I check the blog and you're here...
Weird.
Was that baling speech sarcastic?
No!
Gather you don't like balin? :P
And the frogs!
Oh! I remember last year, these bucks were balin one of their fields..and...well...a frog...er...sorta...hopped in to the baler, and wel... That bale was full of frog guts!
Me no likey da baling.
Baling requires manual labour, and I am a lazy guy.
:P ah, still good enough craic!
Sorry I'm so slow. iPod's bullying me.
I hope Derek goes somewhere in the north that isn't Belfast on his tour...
Sorry for slow replies, gonna write some fan fic
Yay! TWO SLOW PEOPLE!
:p I'm on my iPod too, and it's hard to right fan fic!
I got a bale with a seagull in it once. Just got one with a snake.
Everyone in Ireland has a farm! Maybe I should move... probably not there, though.
I'm not here, btw, I'm milking.
Hey Ann!
Sure enough Ann:P
Naw, not the dubs, the townies, tho us culties do;P
I have a "mini farm" XP

Does anybody know Derek's PS3 username? It'd be awesome if everyone who has a PS3 could go on at the same time and hunt him down...!
Yesterday I told Pyro that, if you wish for something enough in your heart, you might just have some weird illusion where it comes true ^^
LOL shadow! no i dont know know his PS3 username acount..wait does derek even have a PS3??
Derek has a PS3? Awesome! My brother has one, but of course it broke as soon as I started playing my new game on it...
I prefer PlayStation to X-Box ^^
