Another Tour Over

Well... THAT was a tour...!

I've been back home for a few days, trying to get used to sleeping in my own bed and struggling to figure out how I managed to exist without someone from Publicity leading me to and from destinations, ordering me food, arranging hotel rooms and cars... It's not easy, adjusting back into normality, especially after meeting thousands of readers, many of whom go strangely quiet when they finally get their book signed... Not all of them go quiet, however, but we'll get to that...

I flew to London on September 2nd, a Friday, and had dinner with my VERY lovely agent Michelle, where we talked about all manner of cool things- INCLUDING the kitchen that I'm planning on refitting. (See? Seriously cool things like that my kitchen. I live such an exciting life.)

Saturday morning, Publicity Girl Extraordinaire Tiffany picked me up from my hotel and we started a day of public signings in Brent Cross and Bromley. Oh dear GOD. People had been waiting for hours- the queue went on forever- and a certain number of Skulduggery fans were actually screaming. Then they descended on me with their mad, crazy babble. I sat there, stunned, as they babbled and yattered and chattered and gibbered. I was given an inflatable unicorn called Clarabelle, and I'm pretty sure I was proposed to.

That evening I flew to Edinburgh, and the next morning Publicity Girl Extraordinaire Mary picked me up and I did events in Perth and Stirling, both of which were amusingly manic.

On Monday, we were in Glasgow, and I did TWO 400 person events one after another... This is when my voice started to go, and by the time I turned up at Waterstones that evening, I was definitely starting to worry. My voice has never been a problem before, but then, every tour the queues get longer, and I chat and laugh with more people, so it was only a matter of time before I was talking constantly for 8 hours a day... My poor voice just wasn't prepared for it.

We finished up in Scotland on Tuesday and drove to Newcastle, and from there it all started to blur together. We were in Bolton next, then Sheffield and Boston, then Cambridge and St Albans, and I met so many Skulduggery readers who each had their own theories as to what's going to happen next, and their own opinions on what just happened in Death Bringer, and each and every one of them were unique oddballs who made me grin and chat more and lose my voice AGAIN...

And then suddenly it was Saturday, and I was in Muswell's Children's Bookshop, talking to my old English teacher who'd come along, and I was given a WONDERFUL cake by a couple of readers who'd made it themselves. And then- Bluewater. The legendary Bluewater, where the queues are longer than anywhere else. If there is one thing this tour has taught me is how to speed up while signing, and I was definitely signing faster here in order to make it to the airport for my flight... But I did it, and I hopped on the plane, came home, and the next day I was at the Mountains to the Sea Festival in Dun Laoghaire, meeting the coolest people and getting lots of hugs.

Then I had a few days off, and Publicity Girl Extraordinaire Sam came over, fresh from her wedding, to spend time with the TRUE love of her life- me. Over the next three days we did events and signings in Tallaght and Kildare, Liberty Hall and Swords, and finished with epic signings in Dundrum and Blanchardstown.

And now? Now I'm finished.

I must, at this moment, thank my Publicity Girls. Thank you very much Catrina, it was so good to meet you! Thank you Mary- a few years ago I changed your life when I introduced you to the glories of the Gilmore Girls, and now I think I have done it again by introducing you and your family to the classic Batman: The Animated Series. Sam, after a few days with me, I hope life with your new husband won't appear too drab by comparison. And last but not least, Tiffany. Tiffany has been around for a few years, but this is the first time she's ever come on one of my tours, and unfortunately it's also going to be the last, as she heads back home to America in a few weeks. Tiffany was a wonderful companion, completely overawed at my wit, which is understandable. I knew we were going to get on when I heard the Imperial March coming from her phone.

I just want to thank all of you who came to an event or a signing- it really gives me a thrill when someone says "Hi, I'm Sue, but you probably know me best as Raven Darkclaw from the blog/facebook/forums." So many of you guys identified yourselves to me and it was like meeting an old friend for the first time. The lovely thing about these tours is when the Publicity Girls say how much they love the people who come to get books signed. For some reason, they seem to think you guys are fantastic, and fun, and sweet, and smart, and hilarious and goodnatured. I try to explain that ALL of my Minions are this way, and you are. From the people who froze when they met me (which is ALWAYS amusing) to the people who just wouldn't stop talking, to the girls who were practically hyperventilating, you were all magnificent. I don't particularly like going away to stay at bad hotels for a week, but every single one of you make it all worthwhile.

And I know I missed huge chunks of Ireland and the UK, but hopefully we'll visit your area next time. Next year there'll be more tours to add on, and whatever else pops up. Whenever I get a request, I do take note of it, because I know there are passionate readers all over the world who just want a chance to meet their Golden God. All you folks in Singapore, and Australia and New Zealand, and all the requests I get from Sweden and Germany and Canada and Estonia, not to mention you Americans...!

I really hope that one of these days I'll be able to tour America, but I just want to say right here and now that I truly appreciate all your support. It's not easy for you guys- not least because only the first three books are officially available over there- so your support really does go above and beyond the call of duty. I hope to be able to do something nice for you sometime soon, in thanks. In fact, how many of you are actually out there? I know Kallista is American, and Skulgirl, and I think Mar Chu, but how many others?

American readers, let yourselves be known!

One more thing, before I head off. It's thanks to you guys that Death Bringer sold so well, so thank you for officially making Skulduggery Pleasant a NUMBER ONE Bestselling Series!

Now I have to go. I need to finish The End of the World in the next few days. I love my job.

my parents made a false medical appointment note so I could get out of school early and get my ONE book signed. My parents said he probably didn't have the time to do all of them but everyone else had brought more than one.
Also I got a new dog , Alaskan Malamute, called Sassy.
I also based some of my school work on you .

Prophet said...

p.s
thank you

Prophet said...

BRB
im gonna change my pic


































ALSO







can you include demons or half demons or both since you included Warlocks

you could include one called Krane Farlin (half demon) and he could be kept in captivity as he is a danger in case he tried to unleash his other half and go on a killing spree . But maybe Valkyrie and SP need help and the Grand Mage and the Council of Elders allow him to help them and offer him Freedom if his mission is a success but possible execution if he fails or kills everyone . Description is below in case you might wanna add him o' Golden God
Normal Krane
Age : Very old yet looks young (half demons cannot die of age but are as tender to damage as anyone else)
Pale blue eyes (red when angry)
Long dark brown hair
slightly tall

clothes (made of special material[not by Ghastly as he's an elder now)

black leather jacket
black leather trousers
black rock boots
(i like black and leather)

Weapons


2 knives
and a weird yet cool wrap around weapon that looks like a shark and is a gun and a pistol
which'll be in the pic below

"Angry" Krane
Appearance
no eyes but it can see
black shell like armor for skin
claws
feet have short claws
stand on legs

how it fights

it fights like any animal except it can burst black and red streams of magical energy








p.s thank you

Prophet said...

P.S







I also have a modern hand gun




and p.p.s the shark like weapon is shown as my blog photo

I'm American, and I'm ordering Death Bringer this weekend from a store in Galway, Kenny's Bookshop. They've dealt with me (which can sometimes be difficult) and won my overseas business for life. This may come as a bit of a shock (or maybe not) but I'm turning TWENTY in exactly a month, the twenty third of October. (An meaningful date for all I'm sure) Is it a surprise that you have a fan that old??? Although my imagination as kept me quite immature. It would be fantastic if you came to the states, be sure to come to Texas!!

hi :D

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Warning: Death Bringer's scary, violent, and so awesome your head might just pop off, so you'd better have some tape or something to hold it on.

amelie espirt ____the gummy bear assasin for the straight jacket said...

i have read all of them

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

How many times have you read each book?

Tori said...

i keep rereading mortal coil

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

So do I! I've read the first one 14 times, 2nd one 6 times, 3rd one 7 times, 4th one 7 times, 5th one 6 times and the amazing death bringer twice.

amelie espirt ____the gummy bear assasin for the straight jacket said...

a fair few

Tori said...

i don't own the 1st one and the 3rd one went missing when i let my friend borrow it
then she moved away and i never saw it again

but i always read sections from dark days and mortal coil

and in a few days i shall start death bringer and die of happiness, at least until next year

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Do you guys think I'm insane?

lego said...

hello!!!

I've decided to pretend that everyone is a sparkly, squishy eggplant. Hope you don't mind...

Tori said...

eggplant eggplant i'm an eggplant :D

and i don't think you're insane bella

Derek Landy's books make us all insane
when it came out and my mom wouldn't let me get it at first i broke down and was crying my eyes out :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't wanna be an eeggplant! Let me be a llama! They're among the healthiest of all veggies!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Does that previous comment of mine change your opinion of whether I'm insane or not?

lego said...

*frowns upon the thought of eating llamas*

and I can't blame my insanity on sp...=p

lego said...

I like insanity...it keeps me sane, and it's fun!

Tori said...

i'm not blaming it
it just kind of adds to the severity of my insanity

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That's not the only reason I'm insane though. I tear apart stuffed animals and reattach their limbs to other bodies. I even collect all the body parts that fall of in the series, whether it actually did or not. Gallow's arm, Guild's leg, Serpine's hand, Marr's head, Fletcher's head, and most recently I got Darquesse's eye which gets popped.

Tori said...

...............ok, so you are insane
lol jk :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't blame you for thinking that. My FAMILY thinks that, everyone at SCHOOL thinks that, I think that, so welcome to the Bella Votolato-is-insane club!

Tori said...

awesome :D
does the club have t-shirts?

but you see...my knees are particularly strange. My legs might appear to be slightly normal, though still thoroughly atrocious without them, but with them...

Tori said...

i don't care much how they look
i'm just super afraid i'll pop out my knee caps
and it makes me squirmy

lego said...

*nods*
that does sound frightening, though if it works like popping your shoulder, it shouldn't hurt, but entertain/disgust young children. Which is great fun.

And as for Tanith/Sanguine...I hope Val kicks him very hard!

Raven Dawnslayer said...

Raven Dawnslayer said...

Mar-Chu said...

I want to listen to music, but I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get my earplugs.

I repeat- IS ANYONE ON?

Mar-Chu said...

Is there a new chat? Or not?

ANSWER ME PEOPLE!

I saw that someone had a chat, but I don't remember who. Going to look in my computers history now.

I'M AMERICAN!
~waves my arms in the air and hops on one leg, all while doing the macarena~
~is particularly noticeable because is newly 16 and 16 year olds are magnificent, are they not?~
Your faithful American girl since the beginning of this blog. Well, almost at least. :D I read it from the beginning, but I didn't have an account so it took a few tries to be able to actually leave a comment, but I was STILL here from the beginnning! Oh yeah! And I've been naggging you to come here all the time too! :P Perhaps I should nag harder if you didn't remember... Hmmm... ~strokes imaginary beard~
Lol nah, I'm just kidding. :P I know you try your best so... I'll only nag as much as I used to. :P

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed your tour! Hope you can recover your voice pretty quickly because a silent Master Derek is not a very happy thought, to say the least.

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

@Mar
Yes, there is a chat. There are a few actually; however, only one is used frequently and that is Aquila's.

Mar-Chu said...

*hugs Skyril hysterically*

THERE IS LIFE!!!

Well, when I went on Aquila's blog, the chat wasn't there, and I got a bit freaked out.

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

And I've got to go now. I just popped on to say hello!
So HELLO!
I think I'll run to the chat for a minute to see if there's anyone there. But then I have to go for realllll.... I have a book warehouse I have to go to :P SInce DB has yet to arrive... ~sighs~
Anyway... yes... bye-bye

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

@Mar
~hugs her to~
YES! There IS life!
Really? That's odd... I'll go check it out.

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

You're right it's not there. SHe must have taken it down. Ah, well, at least the chat is still in existence... See you there.

Nicole Cerundolo said...

GOLDEN GOD!!
You better come to America. You better come to Massachusetts, too, because if you don't I will be VERY disappointed.
VERY.
VERYVERY.
And I know that only the first 3 books are out in the U.S., but I have all 5 and am getting the 6th soon (thank god for amazon.com)

<3 I wish I could hang around with all the people on the blog, but I have a life, y'know.
...
kinda.
Well, not really, now that I think of it.
Oh well.
And if you DO come to the U.S.A, Golden God-- to Massachusetts-- I will personally make you 1,000 mini paper cranes for good luck.
Not that you need it.
But know that that's me.
Yeah.

Tori said...

hi you guys :)

Silvermoon said...

Dear Derek Landy,
I am American, and I really must insist that you get the books released in America. First of all, Americans are supposed to be loyal to America, yes? Well, as long as they don't have Skulduggery Pleasant, I couldn't care less. Second, people who want to read but not to buy (I know, how strange) can't talk about the other books, and it's horrible!!! I always let things slip!!! And, you really must pass a law saying that little sisters who read the new book first CAN'T tell anything, because my sister is and it's HORRIBLE.
Sincerely, the girl who nearly cried when she heard about your tour and couldn't come,
Silvermoon
