Edinburgh

Well now... this IS interesting.

As you may or may not know, I’m heading over to Edinburgh on the 15^th 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 15^th. 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...
