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.

That's ok Octa

Niall - I NEED to see my grandad drunk... hes pretty epic.
(unlike my Uncle, who I hope never to see drunk again. ¬_¬)
@NJ, I'm good.
I'm at a family-thing.
In other news, Grace has fallen asleep.
KEWL
I have seen my mum drunk... It ain't good. My dads just more hyper than he already is when he's Drunk
Mum's an annoying drunk, and Dad's a happy drunk.
I've only seen Dad drunk like, twice.
Niall - what IS this family thing anyway? wedding, wake... bizzare pagan ceremony?
ignore me, I'm procastrinating.
C'est l'anniversaire de mon grand-pere.
Il est tres old.
Mums a really funny drunk. well, for a time. then she starts asking why I'm single, and it goes downhill from there...
My parents don't get drunk. At least I've never seen them get drunk.
Tin whistle time!
AWW YEAH!
congratz octa
ah, Oui, Oui.
ermmm... ici un mass?
@Ven, wut? =P
Also, congratuwelldone Octa!
Accidental first!
WOOT!
I dedicate this page to Kallista Pendragon and Quinnera Elvianna, two awesome bloggers. They are twin stars that shine brightly in the heaven that is blogland.
Here is to their happiness, success and endevour.
I am blessed to know them and love them.
They are the treasure of treasures!
LONG MAY THEY BE HAPPY!
My mum is a horrible drunk
She's unbeleivibly accident prone and I have only seen my dad drunk once in Lanzaroti
Niall - Why did you go to mass then!!
also, I think this has to be one of the first times we've been on and you haven't got the page... *pats his head* I suddenly feel like saying 'grand'
nice dedication, octa :)
I saw my Dad drunk at a Gaelic match.
...
He had six Guinesses.
Nice dedication Octa!!
Nice dedication, Octa.
Even though you broke my streak.
@Ven, try it. It's fun.
"How'reyeh?" "Grand."
Gaelic football? I still don't understand what it is...
But I know the offside rule YAY ME!
@Ven, we left the party to go to mass, and then came back.
Don't ask why. Mum's weird.
Its such a KEWL thing to say 'Grand' I say it all the time!! Its just awesome!!
i gtg, ill b on tomorrow sometime *hugs* bye all, i hope i can catch u all tomorrow
Hii everyone!!
Bye Raven!!
Gaelic football is football with hands. Google it.
I know nowt about the offside rule. All I know is "Kick the ball into the net more times than the other guys."
Bye Raven, hi Ayesha!
Hey Ayesha
My sister (flo): *in cute voice* I'm going to watch House and might get some jaffa cakes.
Me: Your telling me this... why?
Flo: ah.........................................................................................
you're fat and you have body odour!
Me: no, thats you
Flo: i know.
WHAT THE HELL!? shes insane ^^
Bye Raven! Hi Ayesha!
I didn't break you're streak. It was broken ages ago.
I got this page. Quinn got the page before. Amelie the page before that. Pyro the page before that. Isabella the page before that one, bb the page before that and Dragona the page before that one.
You haven't had first for ages :P
LAWL
Your not you're. Silly spelling error. I blame the mango...
@Niall - not real football then!!
I don't care, my dad just drills this into me...
Your sister sounds fun. =P
@Octa, I wasn't online those times...
My record is six pages in a row.
*is proud*
Haha!!
OMGosh! Okay, First of all, Death Bringer... BEST.. BOOK... EVERRR!!! And second, you should make "You're Gonna Go Far Kid, The Offspring (clean Version)" The Skulduggery Pleasant Theme song. Yep. I said it. Theme song.
*hugs Kal back*
Catalyn hi!
I DID have a good song, can't remember it now...
Exile Vilify?
*hugs Kal*
@Catalyn, that's a great song, but the SP theme is totally Lacuna Coil- I Won't Tell You.
Just listen. It fits so well.
*hugs Kal back*
Ah.
My record is a mere three pages.
I shall strive to do better.
Also have you read anything by Walter Moers? If not then do. Excellent fantasy writer.
@Octa, nope.
*tvtropesifies Walter Moers*
I HAVE A SUDDEN URGE TO LISTEN TO THE KNKS!
...
That is all.
*kinks
Protection - Massive Attack; the song of us lot. well, one of three.
Niall - Listning to it now ^^ I like.
@Ven, I thought you might think it was too heavy. =P
I just think it fits, and the band members look like mages in the video.
@ Niall
I've only read Rumo and his miraculous adventures
but the 13 and 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear sounds great too.
if you need something new to read then read those. Phenomenal story. Aquila mentioned him a few times.
Niall - bit on the heavy side, but the Vocals are good, and it fits the books. I can imagine it as the credits song, definetly!
Heir older stuff was less heavy, but more goth.
NO, ITS THE SONG FOR THE END OF DEATH BRINGER BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
*their
Also, omigoshtheKinksweresogood.
YAY!
I'm glad the dogs were good today!
When Derek broke Skulduggery at the end of book 5, I thought the perfect song for him was Five Finger Death Punch- The Bleeding (Acoustic).
(Has to be acoustic.)
the ultimate Broken Badass song, IMO.
*Dad is a postman*
*Dad was hospitalised when a tiny, but psychotic, dog bit him*
=P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEvlFN-3dTk
NIALL!
STOP DISTRACTIME ME!
That song makes me want to draw Lord Vile and Darquess. AWURCOQIYUWNPTXMYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZWCNIMXAZO
don't trust small dogs. they are evil.
@Ven, you love it really. =P
Also, Ivan Moody's voice is wasted in metal.
@Ven, same band- Bad Company.
And Crossing Over.
And Far From Home.
And Bulletproof, but it'll be too heavy for you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epgo8ixX6Wo&ob=av2e
Ouch that sounds painful kal!!
I always thought small dogs were innocent, guess I was wrong =P
Hello folks!
Small dogs overcompensate. =P
ah, should of captionend
Protection - Massive Attack.
STILL CAN'T REMEMBER THE OTHER SONG!
Hii Quinn!!
Hey Quinn!
@Ven, I already looked it up. =P
It's awesome.
Hello again, skulduggery lovers
Hey other Bella!
Hey Quinn!
Ven, have you finished LIW yet?
Bella - I pronounce your last name as 'Vo tae to'
like potato.
sorry, =P
AND HI!
Niall - NO, YOU'RE DISTRACTING ME!!!!!
and, I still have a least another... what, 5 chapters planned? may have to do something....hmmmm...
okay, less than 5 now.
Hii Bella!! Pleasure to make your acquaintance!! *offers her a cookie*
how are you?
When will the chapter be up!
*jumps u and down impatiently*
You said you had one paragraph left aaaaaaaaaaages ago...
*waits*
hey anyone on
hilarious how you pronounce my name, but it's actually vote a lot oh
kallista are you still on
"Make sure that the dog submits to even the smallest child."
This.
Ruin the dog's self-esteem. It's the only way. Call it fat. Insult its mother. (bonus points if you call her a bitch.) Tell it it has bad skin. Steal its friends. Call it fat again.
Establish the pecking order.
... Or buy a lazy dog.
I have a slight fear of dogs. Well, their mouths mainly.
have either of yous read my story
http://darknessraineduponthem.blogspot.com
Hi Bella! Hi Amelie!
Hi Bella! Hi Amelie!
Yeah- I've read it :) Looking good so far.
Hii Amelie!!!

brb want breakfast
I just started posting today, you guys make me feel so welcome here... So do you guys have a favourite Skulduggery book
Ok Amelie!
@bella
Mine is death bringer, it's truly wonderful and full of surprises!!=D
And hi to all of you who said hi to me:)
Damn I gtg now byee everyone!!! *hugs*
Mine is also Death Bringer.
I called the twist.
*is smug*
NIALL
NIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL
I NEED TO KNOW THE EYE COLOUR OF YOUR OC BEFORE I CAN POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not going to be a spoiler no matter how much I want to be, but Death Bringer was the best to me too. Then Dark Days.
Bye Ayesha!
*waves*
I love zombie fights.
@Ven, that's a tricky questin. My OC is essentially me, and my IRL eyes are green on the outside, gray-ish green in the middle and brown towards the pupil.
Say hazel, if you want to.
I think I shall want to
My eyes are black. You have to look really carefully to see the pupil. It's pretty cool, and freaks people out.
It's probably the easiest option. =P
I apologise for having purdy eyes. Blame genetics.
Is there supposed to be 9 books? That's what I heard. Am I right?
Yup Bella!
NINE. XD
Yay! I know this is kinda messed up, but if everyone doesn't die in the ninth book i'm going to be REALLY MAD.
A trilogy of trilogies, yes.
*bats eyelashes at Ven*
http://venicerain.blogspot.com/2011/09/lost-in-words-part-5-albatross.html
Bella - yes! SO ONLY THREE MORE!
Quinn - That is pretty cool!
mine are 'air force blue' apparently.
all I know is that the iris is out-lined with black, and everyone thinks they're contacts.
also, Blue eyes are magic. Seriously. There's a reason its a Trope
@Bella, I can confidently predict that will not happen, and that you will be mad.
I want tanith to die............................
*wipes of Nialls make up* you look fine without it.
edward cullen wears makeup *shivers*
So I asked about favourite book, what about character? I am very curious...
China Sorrows, all the way :)
CHINA. SORROWS.
HANDS DOWN.
SHE HAD A LIBRARY, AND IS BAD-ASS, OFTEN WITHOUT FIGHTING, AND LOOKS GOOD DOING IT.
(edward cullen's a fairy. He sparkles. Gross.)
*hi fives Quinn* http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/SkulduggeryPleasant
also, http://venicerain.blogspot.com/2011/09/lost-in-words-part-5-albatross.html
I hope China dies. She's #1 on my death wishlist.
Favourite character: Finbar.
Favourite pairing: ClarabelleXThrasher. (My OTP.)
Apparently, Mum and Dad want to go home, so I'll be going in five minutes.
Tanith is number one on mine
I want to make a Team Sorrows poster now! (and a team Low one then =P )
Clarabelle and Thrasher XD my favourite charater is Skulduggery. He's amazing. And what about least favourite? Mine's Caelan and Melancholia.
Caelan should go die.
Again.
Derek doesn't like Tanith, either. That's why she's a buttmonkey, and why remnant!Tanith sucks.
Niall - NOES!
BUT.... BUT TEH STORY IS UP!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@Ven, already read and commented. =P
I'll prolly read it again as a bedtime story.
*makes "Team Rain" poster*
Team Sorrows? I swear i'm not lying, me and my best friend amanda were wearing t shirts we made that say 'team pleasant: we're the good guys' on the front earlier today. And mine says cain on the back. Hers says sorrows :D
GTG now.
*hugs forever*
Gotta be off now folks! Bye!
*hugs* :<
Bella - I'll see if I can get Gep to make a stamp for DA. Or perhaps I will... hmmmm....
Hi! Could whoever sees this please look at my website:
http://skulduggerypleasantrules.weebly.com
I just finished it, it's about the one thing we all have in common, Skulduggery Pleasant, and I want some experts to check it out. BTW if you look at the Death Bringer Spoilers page and you haven't finished it yet then you get what you deserve. But please tell me what you think.
Stamp?
Night Quinn!
It's so confusing having everyone posting at the same time; I am so lost
Commenting's fun.
Please forgive me, but I love asking Skulduggery questions to people who understand... But how many times have you read a Sk ik lduggery book? My grand total is around 37.
*typo. Skulduggery book.
Hey
Please let someone be online....................
Hey Dess
*hugs*
How are you??
Hey NJ
*hugs back*
I'm grand
How are you?
Grand
My brother woke me up this morning at like.. half 5 to say bye cus he's heading off to Uni today. I've been up ever since. :P
Ah
My dad's been up since half 4 watching rugby
He's unbelieveable
Whats wrong with GAA?
Ignore me when I gibber I have a tendancy to do that
Gibbering is awesome
How else are things gonna be said??
:P
But yeah, i dont know if i'll miss mt brother yet!!
Ah well.
And youare right. What IS wrong with good old GAA??
I would never in my LIFE get up at half 4 to watch Rugby. Never.
Why would I make myself lose out on Valuable sleep time. it makes no sense.
I know, my dad's a lunatic
And d'you know what he eats when he's hungry?
Bananas' many, many bananas'
I mean that can't be good for him can it?
your only supposed to have one or two bananas' in a day he would have three or four
Insane!
Clearly.
I don't like bananas they are Disgusting!!
I will get my needed potassium elsewhere thank you very much. :P
Well whatever floats his boat
I suppose.
AGREE!
I hate bananas.
They're horrible mushy yokes.
Nuff said
A TOAST
TO THE PEOPLE WITH ENOUGH SANITY TO DISLIKE BANANA'S
HERE HERE!!
HERE HERE!!
Hey Derek. I love Skulduggery Pleasant and it feels like whenever you make a new one, you read it in like 3 days or something, then it's an eternity until the next installment, so the only logical thing to do would be to re-read the series again. So yeah, that's what I was doing, reading the original Skulduggery, when near the end of the first book, Skulduggery comes rushing in at Serpine when he's next to The Book Of Names. To get to Serpine faster, Skulduggery manipulates the air to buffet him across the room and hit Serpine. I'm thinking, "That would really hurt", but i was also thinking, "Couldn't someone have done that before to get Book Of Names?". It's only logical that it could have been done. You Wouldn't really be able to stop yourself until you were practically ontop of The Book and take it, so I was wondering if you could elaborate, because I'm rather conused here.
WOOHOO
PARAMOUNT!
Hi!!!
I think it time we did a little banana hating dance!!!
*dances*
Uhhh... Hi
Hey Paramount
Nice to meet you *shakes hand*
I am the one and only (as far as i am aware) NJ Maverick
Half Dark Angel
Half Sorceress (Elemental)
*Joins in Dance*
Nice to meet you too. As of yet, I'm not sure as to what Discipline I would choose if I were a sorcerer, but I'm sure I'll choose one eventually.
I'm Desswarph Cwash
*also shakes hand*
I'm an adept
A vampire rogue to be precise
I take other peoples magic from them
(haven't used it in a while) (I dont have to bite either, other peoples magic sustains me)
So yeah.
Hi.
*dances again*
Odd, I've never heard of such a type of magic before.
Oh and I'm the owner of The Mirror Of The Worlds'
(teleportation device)
Well My Brothers are Necromancers
(well in my story they are)
There are loads of things you could be :)
Dont worry.
Just a warning.
Thing on here can get a Tad Bonkers. Mostly because our sanity are in our safety deposit boxes. should we ever need it. We dont want to lose them forever now, do we?? Of course we dont
i am now rambling, it's cus i am insane, i'll shut up now, only my insanity means i have a unique way of looking at things why do you think my name is NJ MVAVERICK anyway,
I'll shut up now, i think that will be best.
Intersting.
We have wonderfully no-sane lives.
It's quite fun to be honest.
:P.
*hands Paramount a safety deposit box*
Would you like to keep your sanity safe incase some tries to take it from you, like a faceless ones?
Trust me you will be care free once you have.
*someone
Sounds delightful. You can never be too careful with your sanity.
NJ's right it will help
We all have a safety deposit box.
You wouldnt want your insanity to take over your sanity COMPLETLY.
Cus that would be BADDDDD.
No you cannot.
Dont worry the Boxes are guarded.
they are guarded by my:
Ninja Pixies
Monkey Ninja Pixies
Steve (my monkey)
And my mini Army of Leprechauns (who are invisible to everyone except me)
