Finally!
You don't know what it's like, you really don't. I finished the book, was very happy with it, and then took a few days of doing nothing before starting The End Of The World and some other stuff. And all the while I'd be reading your comments, and the comments on the Forums and Facebook, and smiling because everyone seemed to be looking forward to it so much.
But that was MONTHS ago!
To have to sit here and watch all of you count down the days made me feel so incredibly guilty for putting you through that. But now, finally, the wait is over. It is September 1st. It is Death Bringer day.
The Launch last night in Dublin was manic...! It turned into a marathon signing session, and it had Storm Troopers! STORM TROOPERS! I didn't get a chance to chat to any of the people I know and usually see at launches, because I was staring at the Storm Troopers and then signing books and staring at Boba Fett and signing books...
'Twas a good way to launch Death Bringer, so thank you Eason's bookshop!
And what will I be doing today, you ask? The day of the release? Will I be doing interviews and attending champagne parties? Er... no. I will be cleaning my house. I'm off on tour tomorrow, and as usual Laura will be staying here while I'm gone, so I have to get the place ready for her or she'll glare at me. And you've never been glared at by Laura. It's SCARY.
So all of you who have just bought the book, I hope you like it. The previous blog entry is still the ONLY place you can post spoilers, so don't do that here. And even in the previous entry, try to HINT at the spoilers instead of blurting them out. Because there are SOME people, who will remain nameless, who felt the need to SKIM the spoilers and were dismayed when certain things were spoiled for them... which I actually find hilarious. If you don't want anything spoiled, DO NOT READ THE SPOILER SECTION! Sigh.
Okay, I have a house to clean. And you? You have a book to read.

@Venice, "BROTHER, WOULD YOU BE SO KIND AS TO APPROACH ME IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER?"
perhaps you could try intimidating him into fear by insulting his mother?
VENICE! *is extremely offended by her disgracefulness*
I just look out defiantly. Walk tall, don't let them know that you're scared.
((also, you have steampunk teacups.))
*sighs* And now I'm envisioning a porn video with a giant, slug-like monster...WHY DO I ENVISION SO MANY WEIRD PORN MOVIES WHILE TALKING TO YOU?
a tail jacket would probably help with that...

Hi, just wanted to say thank you again for signing my book at Bluewater yesterday! It was really great meeting you, thank you also for writing the quote for me, and I love the picture of the skull :)
Hi everyone... *yawn* I've slept in all morning.. But I do have a good reason, yesterday I went to see DEREKKKKK!!!!!!! YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT.... we left at 9:30 (the signing was at 3 lol) and got there at 10:30, we all raced up to waterstones and it turned out we were only 6th in the que!!! wow! there were 4 of us so we took it in turns goin in two's shopping!!!4 hours later the que had started to move!!!!! DEREK HAD ARRIVED!!! the que had grown to atleast double what it was last year and was snaking round a bend and coming back round!!! we were so lucky to be at the front!! when it was finally our turn we were SOOOOOOO excited.... the people behind us had made a wierd "we love derek landy banner". Seeing as between us we had 15 books 4 him to sign we had longer chatting to him..... I have a big ego but my friend also has a MASSIVE ego and so does Derek so there was a clash of the egos..... SCARY!!! I complained how the book messed up the book shelf and he agreed and blamed it on my friend (with the big ego)and we were all happy (except my friend) I concratualted him 'bout putting gerbils in the book and he looked a bit scared as I rambled on about Gerbils!! We got pictures with him and I got a.....HUG!!!!!!! HEEEEE HEEEEEEEEE.....
spent a little longer at bluewater going on pedalos and eating stuff then came home around 8ish. *yawn* I was very tiered thats why I am still asleep now!
you went to bluewater to!!!! were you the people behind us with the banner???
Dragona dedicated this page to wood.
I don't even.... HOW DOES HE NOT SEE WHAT I SEE?!

Hello! I was meant to be going to the signing but my Dad cancelled on me because he got tickets to football, I cried. :(
hey everyone

hi everyone..... I've written the start of a story and I'd like some people to have a look at it and coment and tell me what they think of it.... http://whatmefindsfunny.blogspot.com/2011/09/intro-of-story-i-have-been-writting-for.html
Um...... It would be great to have some feedback on it so please could you have a look?????? :)
Derek Landy, I dont care if you read this, but this needs to be said: your books are the greatest story i have ever encountered, destroying any movie and beating any books (even stomping harry potter). I've read your books over and over, and i always try to pace myself, cause i can never put them down. The comedy in your books are the only time literature makes me laugh, the action is awesome, the characters are so complex yet so perfect.
Please, for the love of God, never stop writing. You legend.
I totally agree
hi vita and patrick
Couldn't have said it better my self!
hey could you guys have a look at my story please?
http://whatmefindsfunny.blogspot.com/2011/09/intro-of-story-i-have-been-writting-for.html

Hi there *offers handshake* I have posted a comment on your story opener. Made me chuckle!!
gd gd
Finished reading the book on the 8th. Mind-blown, Sides split and curiosity-piqued. But I'm now very depressed.
i know it amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Derek landy's books are amazing and i hope for something even more special to happen to his books-and by that i mean a set of movies to be if not then just as good as the harry potter series.
I haz discovered Belgian Waffles...
Yeyyy!
:D
Umm, I did come here for a purpose... But I forgot it.
Ah, well...
Oh, look who's here again lol.
Hey Aimza.
Hey Vanaerah!

You ever been to a wedding, I have... yesterday. Just thought I'd say... that may have been my purpose.
Lol, soz for slow response I'm reaaaallllly tired.
That's nice, I'm getting married soon. So... were you a bridesmaid or summink?
I hope you weren't getting married lol x
Naahhhh, I was a bridesmaid yeah for my elder sister.
I call her Mutley, like from catch the pigeon.
Yeah, CONGRATS TO YOOOUUUUUUUU!
I can't wait to get married, when the time comes and all! :)
Beleive me, you'll love all the excitement.
I mean, I get all excited even though I;m no-where near the day. But I'm quite girly, so I want a big whit wedding and all x
You on the other hand, might not lol
Yeah, I iz not girly girl lol.
I'd prefer to where black and sign the register listening to Avenged Sevenfold and crud...
And then first dance:
My Chemical Romance - Helena
What??????? You need a proper song to dance to!
No offence...
I do like MCR and stuff but... not to dance to.

bummer just found out Apollo 18 is a 15!!!!!! *sigh* Really wanted to see that
oh just read the reviews..... maybe not such a bummer after all
helllloooooooo
*sigh* guess i should go to bed..... skool tomorrow..
Hello!
Or not hello? goodnight, Vita!
hi ann!
Hi! Sorry, I reload once to look for replies, then forgot to check again. *flake*
... and now I'm alone. Totally not thinking about Roy... and Ed.
Hello! How are you?
Im fine you going to see Derek Saturday *yay*
Aw, nice! Have fun! And cuddle him for me. :-D
Have u read DB yet? I finished it today. It was AWESOME :-:D
*cough*no*cough* I started reading FMA before the book arrived, and I am not good at switching stories halfway through, so I need to finish this first, and maybe write a fic, and spend a few days just aww-ing over the characters, etc.
hi again!
@Flame- Awesome, I'm totally jealous for the opportunity to give him huggies. :D
I was reading Artemis fowl but wen it arrived I couldnt resist
I was rereading harry potter while I was reading sp...which may be why I get luna and finbar confused...=p
I think I'm caught up on AF, and didn't enjoy the last book so much, so don't think I'd choose it over SP, either.
Hi Lego!
Lol lego gtg bye
I think getting those two confused is pretty understandable.
bye flame!
Bye Flame!
I may have thought of a new ship...*grins evilly*
Tell!
oh, just luna and finbar, mostly just because writing convos between two crazy people is really fun...*wonders if normal people ship characters from two different books*
And I just thought of one, too. Love and comfort on the battlefield, so... well, romantic is probably not the right word. Hmm.
Lots of people do that! I'm not going to tell you they're normal, though.
ooh...what is it?
Roy/Maes. FMA of course. I only have about 10 chapters to go. Wonder who survives? I will be gutted if Al doesn't make it. :-(
*hands ann extra guts in case Al dies*
Also, me/Riza. There's just something about a woman in uniform...
just looked everyone up, and am totally d'awww-ing at the roy and maes thing...
