The Death Bringer Tour


Here you are, my Minions, all of the Ireland and UK public events are listed below. In between all these, I’ll be doing a lot of school events, but these are the ones where anyone will be able to attend.

As usual, whole sections will be missed out, because every year I try to visit different regions. So if I’m not going to be anywhere near you this year, I’ll probably be there in 2012. Maybe.

Sept 3rd
10 AM, WHS Brent Cross, London- public signing.
3 PM, Waterstones Bromley- signing.

Sept 4th
1 PM, Glenearn Community Campus Hall, Perth, Scotland –event.
6 PM, Waterstones, Stirling, Scotland - event.

Sept 5th
5:30 PM, Waterstones, Sauciehall St, Scotland – event.

Sept 7th
1 PM, Seven Stories, Newcastle – event.
4 PM, Waterstones, Blackett Street, Newcastle – signing.

Sept 8th
3:30 PM, Waterstones, Meadowhall Centre, Sheffield – signing.
7 PM, Waterstones, Pescod Square, Lincolnshire – event.

Sept 9th,
3:30 PM, Waterstones Cambridge – signing.
7 PM, University of Hertfordshite, Hatfield – event.

Sept 10th,
10:30 PM, Muswell Hill Children;s Bookshop, London – signing.

4 PM, Mountains to the Sea Festival, Dublin, Ireland – event.

4 PM, Easons, Newbridge – signing.

Sept 16th,
10:30 AM, Liberty Hall, Dublin – event.
4:30 PM, Easons, Swords, Dublin – signing.

There'll probably be two more signings around Ireland on the 17th, but I don't know where yet.


Oh, and on the 15th and 16th of October I'll be at the Frankfurt Book Fair!


You can bring whatever you have and I'll do my best to sign everything. Naturally, if the queue is huge and time is running out, I may only be able to sign one thing per person, but I'll try my best. If you're lucky, only half a dozen people will actually turn up and then we'll have LOADS of time to chat! Oh, and if this "one book per person" rule comes into effect, try not to take it personally.

When I was over in Australia I'd been signing for two or three hours and I was seriously running out of time, so we announced that I'd only be able to sign one book per person in order to get through everyone. Now, all the people standing in the queue were very cool and understanding about it, they didn't mind one little bit...

... apart from this one particular boy.

I'm sure he regrets it now, but he started to stamp his feet when his mother told him that no, Derek couldn't sign everything. And then he started whining. And then he started crying. And his face was all red and blubbery and I was trying to explain, as quickly and as kindly as possible, that I just didn't have the time, but he kept stamping his feet in front of EVERYBODY and I was trying my best not to break out laughing. The poor little lad. So I said fine, okay, and I scrawled my name on his books and his mother took him away, hanging her head in shame. 

It was, and I really don't want to be mean here, hysterically funny, and even remembering it now has me laughing...

So, beware of this rule! As more and more people read the books, and as more and more books are released, I obviously don't have the time I used to. But if everything goes according to plan I should have plenty of time to sign, doodle and- most importantly for me- chat to you guys while I'm sitting there. 

Oh, and hugs are encouraged (time-permitting).

Shadow Rider, Lord of the Damned said...

Yes!!!! I rule! I rock! Hi Derek! Derek Derek Derek Derek!

Derek Landy said...

Sigh...

Hello Shadow Rider...!

Oh, and I just want to send out my condolences to Isobel, who recently lost her grandfather. I know you don't know how you feel about this yet, Isobel, but the fact is he was a part of your life, and now that he's gone your life will have changed. Let it effect you however it effects you.

Anonymous said...

You should visit Germany, Austria and Switzerland... There are lots of fans, but only one or two opportunities to meet you!

Anonymous said...

i wish i lived in the UK or Ireland haha (: you'll never come to Asia will you D: OOH FIFTH.

Anonymous said...

just wanted to let you know you have a few fans here in Asia who would definitely love to get the chance to meet you (SINGAPORE hinthint) but its quite unlikely that you'll ever come down ): nevermind we're still waiting for the books to come and we love the series (:

Derek Landy said...

Akssan, thank you for reminding me! The post now has includes my two days in Frankfurt in October!

Kyre, i was in Asia... um... last year? Was it last year? I think it was. I spent a week in Hong Kong, visiting a load of international schools. Had a wonderful time. But Singapore... ah, Singapore... I've never been, but the idea intrigues me...!

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah, Frankfurt will be great! You´ll love the german fans, look forward to our surprise^^ It´s great :D

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

Come to Norn Iron please!
Although I might have to travel to Dublin anyhoo...

Also, I got onto Pottermore.
I am telling everyone.

J Larkin said...

How lucky are the fans in those regions? Very lucky.

Fun story (or maybe creepy, depending on your point of view): After skipping a semester in college to destroy my nose against the grindstone, I was able to afford this amazing trip which involved sending thirty-nine other students and myself to the UK.

We went and saw a lot of the places that are often included in the bucket-lists of English nerds such as us. Dublin was one of our stops.

It took dragging my smaller group to five different bookstores, but I managed to find a copy of 'Dark Days.' In Dublin. Two weeks before it came out in the US.

I also saw Stonehenge and touched Jane Austen's writing table. But the 'Dark Days' story is my favorite to tell of the trip.

So, creepy or fun, depending on your point of view. But now you know!

Bethany said...

Alas, no Belfast again. Ah well.

I shall have to wait for Derek hugs.

It's pretty weird that you posted this post today. I had a dream about the Jitter Girls last night. Except they were kinda like the Powerpuff Girls. It was an interesting dream to say the least.

Bethany said...

Jeepers, thoughts going out to Isobel as well :s

PuppyFly Boutique said...

Hi Derek,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this series so far as apart from loving it myself - it's got so many boys at our school reading. I read book 1 to my first class - and they are still hooked and hoping I'll read them the new one in September. and no matter how old they get - they are still trying to make fire in their hands!

Thanks! Anna.

ValkyrieVamp said...

I'll see you in Glasgow on the 5th Derek. And I'll come ready for hugs!

Seychelle Saint-Clair said...

Hey Derek!
Thank you for choosing the name I suggested, Alison, for Valkyrie's sister. I'd also like to thank you for choosing my surname as Melancholia's surname!
See you at the signing in Dublin!

Rachel McCoach said...

:) Heya all!

:P

guh! so bleary eyes... just read the whole of Dark Days in the past 12 hours :P

*does victory dance*

ValkyrieVamp said...

Nice one Rachel :)

Seychelle Saint-Clair said...

Oh and just to let you know I am sending you a letter through HarperCollins, New York. Keep an eye out for it!

Rachel McCoach said...

VERY awesome indeed :P

Anyone goin to the Edinburgh thing?

Bethany said...

My dad won't let me go :(

Anonymous said...

Dammit! Okay, so you're not going to Milton Keynes this time but....

I'm pretty sure if i do more chores... I could convince my mother to let me go to London, or BlueWater, or Cambridge... :D but what the hey, it'll be worth it :)


And for Isobel: my love and prayers are with you and your family. Not sure if this will help you at all, but whenever my Mum talks about loosing her Dad she says 'It's okay to cry because he's gone. But it's fine to smile because he was there once too.' <3333333

Rachel McCoach said...

:( that thoroughly sucks Bethany...

but there are only, like, 3 people going to it from here...

Aquila Felis said...

Derek, there are two Frankfurts in Germany...
Frankfurt am Main and Frankfurt and der Oder...

Bethany said...

I'm actually gutted, Rachel. I mean, yeah okay, I'd have needed to pay for either a plane trip or boat trip, but still... Gah! Wanna go so badly. They won't even let me go as a birthday present. It's my eighteenth on the eighteenth of this month.

Rachel McCoach said...

Rachel McCoach said...

:D *hugs back*

i suppose then that Dublin is further away from Belfast than it appears on the map...

and u so should!!

:P though for some stupid reason we have to get up at 5 in the mornin, catch the train then hang around Edinburgh forever...

:P

Niamhy Jay said...

I know.
I'm really starting to think my dad is going to sway towards a NO
he keeps on saying we'll see!! and that usually ends up meaning YES but I dont think it will this time :/
And if i end up NOT going my dad will NOT let me travel all the way to dublin for a book signing even if it is the Great Golden God :(

Anonymous said...

Rachel McCoach said...

Bethany said...

NJ, which part of Northern Ireland are you from?

And Belfast is only four hours or so (by car) away from Dublin :l

Rachel McCoach said...

:P g2g... neck is gettin all thingwyed fro readin :P

adios, mis amigos!

Niamhy Jay said...

I live in County Antrim!!
I live not that far from Ballymena!!
And it takes around an Hour to get from there to and through Belfast to head down to Dublin!!
And if i was to go i'd more than likely have to take the train which my dad will not allow.
And he is Extremely Busy!!

Niamhy Jay said...

Bye Rach
*hugs*

Venice Rain said...

IM GOING TO BE IN BROMLEY!!!!!

i'll see you there!! and anyone else!!!!!

Bethany said...

I might actually be able to get to Dublin. I'm from County Antrim as well ^.^ Glengormley, to be precise.

Gotsta go. Dinner :3 And then a Poker Night :D Pip pip

Sir Pine said...

I can't wait to go to a signing and hopefully i will get all my books signed but i won't mind if i don't.

Spikings said...

I'm in Lincolnshire so this would be perfect for me.

If I wasn't going to university for the first time the next day, and I need the whole day before to pack and panic to death. :| Nevertheless, I shall beg and see if I can wait in a queue for many an hour to see your wonderful face. And hopefully get a hug, if time permits. :)

Niamhy Jay said...

Bye Bethany
Nice to Meet you!! (figuartivley speaking)

Venice Rain said...

just scrolled up and read the rest of the comments.

ok, people going to any london signings - http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ if your not used to london, print off directions. I'm not joking, its easy to get lost. I'm going to write down the buses I need, and I live only about an hour away.



also bells, this is more proof we're here for you. and always will be.

AND SHUT UP ABOUT POTTERMORE NIALL!!! :P

Rachel McCoach said...

Is it that awesome that i'm in demand?

:D

Dragona Pine said...

That kid sounds funny, Derek, I don't know how you didn't laugh. I would have. It sounds funny.

Dragona Pine said...

And Derek, why do all your book signings have to be so far away from me? The nearest one in that tour is Medowhall which is like 4 hours away, the nearest one on the tour before that, the Mortal Coil one, was in Manchester in the Trafford Centre, I don't even know where that is! Plus it's like a longer distance away from me than Medowhall!

*sighs*

flaring rhythm said...

DEREK! HELLO!
I haven't talked to you in AGES. Because you haven't been on Bebo D:
I'M COMING TO THE BROMELY SIGNING WITH BECKY. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I seriously SERIOUSLY cannot wait and we're going to scare you and get you to sign EVERYTHING and and GIVE YOU HUGS. MANY HUGS.
Please please PLEASE get yo Irish ass on Bebo again, were it's possible to comment without 5000 other comments getting in the way!

I'm taking that hugs are encouraged thing seriously, Derek.

So very seriously.

Bethany said...

Toyin O. said...

Brey said...

I really wish you could come to Sweden :(
I love your books and skulduggery is a big part of my life.
It seems my bookstores won't help me, so I'll cross my fingers and hope that I will be able to make it to your signings in scotland or london.
I'd really like to meet you in person and get one of my books signed.
Best regards
Linda

~joins the American ranks that wish they were living in the UK~
Ah, well, YOU'RE STILL AWESOME, MASTER DEREK!!!
... Even if you refuse to visit the USA :P
By the way, if you did visit, I would sleep outside whatever place you were going to be signing books at so I could chat and watch yo doodle and get a million things signed! REG
plus, I'd give you your cheese.... well, maybe I'll have to give you a cooler so it doesn't go bad while your signing books and hugging people and doodling and whatnot....
ANYWAY...
HAVE FUN!!!

[even though it won't be as fan-tabu-lous without meeee :P]

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Hello, Guys!

If women ruled the world there would be no wars. Just a bunch of angry countries not talking to each other.

99% of the male population is attractive in some way. The other 1% go to your school.

Guns don't kill people, gaping holes in vital organs kill people.

You can grow up to be anything you want... except an astronaut, we got rid of those.

We are all time traveling into the future at normal speed.

Hi..um, was just wondering about the back cover for Death Bringer, like if you will be posting a picture of it before the book comes out, or will we just have to wait and see??? :) :) :) :)

Lunar Tears said...

The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

100% of human beings have tried to fly on a broomstick.

"Queue" is the only English word that sounds the same when the last four letters are removed.

If you want someone to touch you, tell them you're not ticklish.

Finding a whole worm in your apple isn't as bad as finding half of one.

Baked cookies will never be as good as the dough they are made from.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

LOL Kallista!!!

Octa: yes, that's right Kallista, more dancing.

Lunar Tears said...

Gotta go! Bye!

AshyyPanda said...

Hiii Ann Marie!

Has anyone else noticed how we haven't seen the back cover for Death Bringer yet??

Ann Marie said...

Well, I've noticed it now, thanks. LOL

What's on the backs of the first three? I only have US versions of those. :-P

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Yes, we're having withdrawal symptoms.

REG

AshyyPanda said...

LOLOL! um, Dusk is on the back of Dark Days, and that Russian guy whose name I can't spell is on the Mortail Coil one, and I can't remember the other ones...whoops...

Ann Marie said...

*puts Pyro and Octa into rehab* That Kallista addiction is a tough one to kick.

Ann Marie said...

Yes, well, I have those, as there aren't US versions of them! I should just buy the originals of the first three. Americanizing Irish English is bad. :-P

Cluainn Fhada said...

i would go... but all my Skulduggery stuff is signed..... Might go to newbridge and just hang out, even if it doesn't mean a whole day off school like it did last year.

It was a Thursday, and i was a little sad to miss double art....

Here's a link at the end of which you can see a picture of us.

And for the record Derek Landy CAN'T solve a Rubik's cube.

Venice Rain said...

double art was the reason to wake up in the morning for me :D

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

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

My art teacher is an idiot.

Cluainn Fhada said...

Venice Rain said...

2/3 were amazing. the third was a perv ¬_¬
one of them taught us how to do skulls! I said how useful it would be, and everyone looked at me weird... ah well. I gave my skull a variety of hats. (but not a fedora. hardest to draw hat I know of)

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