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.

What's the deal with getting Skulduggery in the States? The last 3 books are only available for import through the U.K. And the audio books are even harder to get... There are a lot of fans here...
And we miss Rupert Degas! What a great reader...
The deal with getting Skulduggery in the States is that WE like it too. I only have time for this one post... Bye.
Greetings and salutations, Master Derek!
~salutes~
We're saluting epicness today :D
Have ya missed me?
Why would you miss me, you ask?
Well.... I've been around here less, obviously!
That's probably why you haven't updated your blog, huh? ~pokes him~ You didn't want to do it when I was away!
That's the EXACT reason, isn't it? ;)
I KNEW it was. :D
So, I'm here to tell you that you can most definitely post now!
REG
Oh yeah, and I suppose it might be a good idea to remind you that my birthday is on the 23! Would be lovely to see you around! I'd even give you a purple lollipop if you showed up!
[Oh, and I'm talking about on the blog or on the chat... although, you could show up in New Orleans, Louisiana too! In fact, I think that's a better idea, don't you? REG]
So... yes.... HELLO!
~waves~
Want some JELLO?
Oh yes, by the way, folks, whoever sees this comment and has yet to go, GO
~grins~
And comment too!
~crazy eyes~
O.o
o.O
REG
~brandishes my frying pan in one hand and my mallet in the other~
I
Have
A
Mallet
GO NOW!
WOOP WOOP!
~does crazy chicken dance, the macarena, and several random stickfigure dances in one whilst waving my frying pan and mallet in the air AND pointing at the following link AND chanting in a VERY commanding a beautiful voice, "GO go GO go GO go GO go GO go GO go GO go GO go GO go GO go"~

Yo! Derek!
If you read this would you mind putting all of your short stories in one book or two and publishing it?
I really want to buy EVERY SINGLE EDITION of the books for their covers and the short stories but there really is no point in buying a book for a cover and a few pages
Plus I dont have that kinda money
I have laods and LOADS of pretend money but not very much actual money that I can spend on things,
I went to HMV today
*smiles sheepishly*
ANYHOOO, would you mind? I would REALLY apreciate it
*puppy-dog eyes*

hey everybody.... got a bath in a moment but it would be consider a kind act of goodness if you.... OMG THE BATH IS OVER FLOWING!!!!!!
RIGHT kind act of kindness would be to look at my story....
the first part is http://whatmefindsfunny.blogspot.com/2011/09/intro-of-story-i-have-been-writting-for.html
and the second part
http://whatmefindsfunny.blogspot.com/2011/09/some-more-of-my-wonderfull-story.html
thank much words of kindness if you look... also It doesnt use any idealised versions of myself or what I would like to be.... you know those sorta story's..... It's atually about Steve.... Steve's cool yet a bit odd
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2011/09/why.html
The second poem I've ever written in my whole life.
Right. What's the story with Val and school?
Right, approx. 5 years ago, she was on her summer holidays after finishing her first year of secondary school. Non Irish don't be fooled! Despite the fact that the last year is 6th Year, unless you do TY, or repeat, you only have five years of school.
So... So... *Leaves in search of brain food ie. Skittles* if she didn't do TY, and it's around May, she should be in Leaving Cert, 6th Year... and in the next one should be in College... I think...
No
There are only 6 years in secondary (of which I am one [coughhintcough]) and she had just finished 1st year. Every book is the next year apart from Death Bringer which is only a few months. There are six books so that would mean in Death Bringer she would be in 5th year and going into 6th year in the next book.
Probably. Maybe.
Scrap that.
I haven't a clue what I'm talking about
Hi Dess!
Actually Cluainn you're right she would be going into college.
Sorry.
I'm all muddled up today.

Hello, Derek! :-D
I really hope you answer me!. I'm a huge skylduggery Pleasant fan, and I have sought on the internet for so long now! How many book is there going to be about him? I can't stand the feeling, that I don't know, if it's the last book I'm reading. Please help me!
I'm a 14 year old girl from Denmark. I've read all your Skulduggry Pleasants books. I'm opsessed with the plot. If you don't answer me, I might get crazy, you know!
Hear from you soon hopefully!
Love
Asta Olsen (Denmark)
Ps. I'm at book 6 (almost done) and it's soooo gooood! God, I hope Tanith comes back. She is one of my favorite charecters, and it's so sad for Ghastly. I would love to ask more questions but i'm done for now. I right back!
I've finished Death Bringer a bit more than a week ago and I really have to say that it turned out brilliant. It's definitely one of my favorite parts and the twist...! Oh god.
(Don't worry, I won't put any spoilers in my post.)
You know, I really think you're doing this on purpose. First you set up a nice world for us, spoil and allure us with great humour and interesting characters and then, BAM, you turn it all around and watch us all go nuts. Just so you can lean back and enjoy the show.
I can imagine that this is the greatest joy of being an author.
If things go well I'll see you in Frankfurt on the 15th October.
Bye, thanks for another great book!
PS: I've missed Dusk in the last two books. Do you have any plans at all for him to make another appearance...?
Hey Night guy :-)
What was you question?
hi mybrain
night guy? what? and what question?
sorry, couldn't remember your name. And i misunderstood :-)
Yes, i'm on :-)
ok
and im a girl
I'm really sorry about that
its alright
Where can i find "spoilers"?
not sure
but they did do another post just for spoilers, so u could check post history *shrugs*
"Actually Cluainn you're right she would be going into college.
Sorry.
I'm all muddled up today."
Yay! I hate being wrong, but at least I know what's going on now!!!
I'm writing a book. And making a zombie film, and in fifth year and very very busy lately.
This is a lie(well, not the book and the zombie film and the fifth year part), my sister just keeps stealing the laptop to watch episodes of scrubs and my mother stole the scanner too, and now everything i draw I have to badly photograph.
Blobblobblob.
I'll kind of be here, kind of doing Chemistry Coursework.
hi niall
sounds like fun...
art homework?
nahhh.
EVENING ALL!
yeah, actually that art homework is stacking up to 10hrs...
I'll be inbetween.
i'm doing chemistry homework too.... How did Boh use line emmission spectrato explain the existance of energy levels, does anyone know?
It really is. #sarcasm
I'm examining whether or not the concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution increases the speed of its reaction with hydrochloric acid.
(Hint: It does.)
Hey Niall!!!!!! :D
YAY VEN!
Synnergyyyyyyyyyyy.
Boop.
Page dedicated to Ven and procrastination.
Hey Ven!!!!!
Hey Cluainn!!!!
Ohh I have to go now my friend's nagging me :(
BYE ALL!!!!!!!
Niall - fo' reals.
I did that experiment two years ago...
AND IS WHY I ALMOST FAILED CHEMISTRY.
(also, don't get HCl on your hands. EVER. Even diliute)
Now, am drawing grapes.
Not China Sorrows or Hester & Tom, so :(
But Niall, so not D': but derp :p :)
congratz niall!
hi dess, how r u?
bye dess
hi venice
Ohh...
Homework sucks.
Who here lives in/around Laois and would be interested in being in an amatuer zombie film with no pay and no real incentitive?
(Besides me, of course)
This is boringsauce.
DEREK POST SOON!!!!
Note to all people here, do longer comments because we only have a few spaces left!!
To avoid doing this though, derek could post *cough cough*
POST PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
NOWWWWW
Must go so farewell!
NON, JE NE REGRETTE RIEN!
@niall - two more years (or three)
just a few more years.
THEN FREEDOM.
well, Uni, then work, so not REAL freedom, but close enough...
Snoogy - as much as I hate it, we DO have an overflow blog.
Why'd I pick Chemistry- oh yeah,i liked setting stuff on fire....
Potassium burns such a pretty colour...
oh. oh yeah :P
