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.

Hey Octa :D
Hey Dess!
What you been up to?
Umm... piano lesson and then watching Torchwood and stuff.
Ah.
GAH.
My earrings have disappeared.
:(
Hi Dess! Hi Octa!
Hey Quinn
Hey Quinn!
Poor earrings...
No! Wait! Found them.
They were under my belt on my bedside table...
Now. Do I wear the belt...?
I don't think I will. It's rather jangly. And besides, I'm wearing the necklace that I've turned into a bracelet and a necklace too... So I don't really need a belt...
Getting dressed is such a pain...
Captain Jack Harkness is awesome
He started in Dr.Who
I agree
*is hating getting dressed*
Hello?
Hello Derek Landy, I am your No. 1 fan! I am half Irish and I bought 'Death Bringer' on the day it was out! WHY CAN'T MARCH COME SOONER?! If only. I am addicted to the series and I cried when Tanith was possessed! Lil Boo x
P.S. Can't Valkyrie either get a hot boyfriend or get back with Fletcher? Soooo cute when Fletcher fought Caelan. Thanks!
Hmm... what's wrong with getting dressed?
Is easy :P
Lil'boo NOOO SPOILERS
Getting dressed is a pain
You have picked lovley clothes out to wear and freak because there is either a stain on somthing or something doesnt match something else
then you have to do your hair in a way that matches the style of what your wearing
Ok- it's easy if you don't have to make sure that everything you are wearing goes with eachother.
Example-
I'm wearing skinny jeans. I have two types of skinny jeans, that sit on the waist and hip.
I have to go with the ones that are on the waist because the top isn't very long.
Then I have a 5 shirts that can goe on top of the top. I choose the pink one.
For the pink one, I have a set of earrings that go with it, along with a bracelet thing.
I then have to find a necklace to go with these.
Then I decide if I want to wear a belt or not.
Then you've got to decide if everything goes together well.
Then choose between glasses and contacts.
AND THEN
Makeup and hair. Which is even longer.
And now I must leave!
Octa- check your email.
BYE!
Then there are shoes
GAH.
Nightmares all over again
Bye Quinn!
Bye Quinn!
I just choose jeans and a T shirt.
Done!
Would you really leave the house with no shoes on and go wandering through town?
Ummm...........helloo?
You still there Octa?
Sorry g2g eat lunch.
Im going to go and watch Dr.Who
Derek,I think most of us will mourn when the series comes to an end
Death Bringer was amazing.
I loved every word of it!

normal..... hey check out this blog http://whatmefindsfunny.blogspot.com/
it's not mine but i wish it were
Hi There Derek Love all your Books i just have a big problem right now. Death Bringer is 8.99 on amazon.co.uk, as i have a disability i cannot afford to buy your book and i find it a bit to steep. So im wondering why put the book price is so much
A big fan of Skulduggery Plesant
so im not disrespecting you
GOOOOOOOOOODDD MORRNNNIINNNGGG, ICHIGOOOOO!! >XD
Anyone on? ;P
ROAR!
Hello? Anyone?
*looks in*
One is quoting Bleach, the other one ate a dinosaur...
Hi anyway! ^^
Me!
@ darkdestroyer amazon have it cheap. It's 14.99 in bookshops.
Ah, Death Bringer. That was certainly...
WOW. I mean, I mean really, WOW.
The second-to-last chapter had me jumping up and down with joy (because you-know-what happened to you-know-who, and I don't mean voldemort.)
And when you-know-who and you-know-who ---------- I was so annoyed at ----- i was screaming (IN my mind), but I kind of predicted that I would happen.
I hope you understand what I mean.
You probably don't.
And when we found out that Valkrie was ------ on --------- and Skulduggery was -------.
Note that the number of gaps doesn't equal the number of letters.
An you were right, the end DID make me go "OH...HELL."
Other than that, it was just incredibly amazing. Really.
Truly.
Bravo.
Oh wait.
Now I need to wait A WHOLE STINKING YEAR to find out what happens next.
Curses, foiled again.
The stuff I said before doesn't count as spoilers, right?
Hi Octa! Hi Aquila!
Hey Quinn!
Do you think Bryony will like her poem?
As I said in the email and comment:
I THINK SHE WILL ADORE IT.
SO MUCH THAT SHE WILL WANT TO EAT IT.
AND THEN REGURGITATE IT
JUST SO THAT SHE CAN EAT IT AGAIN.
IT IS THAT AWESOME.

Very long.
It is as long as my trousers.

THAT LONG.
*Gives Quinn a gingerbread man*
*looks hungrily at the gingerbread man*

Hello Mr Gingerbread man.

And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won’t say goodbye anymore...

*starts sobbing*
Poor Mr Gingerbread Man...

*sniffles*
There there Quinn...

Hey Kal!
I would have been on chat but Pyro is watching Torchwood.
Oh and I've got a new poem on my blog.
About Bryony.
Are many people on chat?
Not really.
Me, Kal, Lilith, Venice, Ghost, Quinn and Flo.
Some more, some less quiet. ^^
*blinks at Kal*
We have different definitions of many, huh? ^^
Hey Aquila!
Hi Octa! ^^
*pokes Quinn*
*gives Kal some coke and DB*
You know, it's kinda irritating to read DB.
DB stands for Deutsche Bahn, to me.
^^

Yes, I do realise I said I was going to be gone until October maybe even November but I had a run in with a certain Rhombic Night Adder.
One word... ow.
Anyway, to pass the time in the hospital I have read the new Skulduggery Pleasant book. (I am in England now, so thats a good start I suppose, because now everything's in English again.)
It was amazing, Sir.
AMAZING!
I'm not a spoiler type, so I'll post naught but well done Mr.Landy I really enjoyed the book! Thanks a lot! :D

Doctor Man
He began way back when
The Universe open to him
Anything he wanted
Outside the Blue Box.
Weeping Angels
A most deadly foe
Blink and you're gone
Into a world of woe.
Cybermen, Cyberwomen
They delete you from existence
Gone forever
The void shall take you.
Oh but the Daleks
The worst of all
They point a whisk
A deadly weapon
It kills you stone dead
A flash of blue light.
Wait, what's this?
An even worse foe
The Master lives on
From the cold dark war.
He rules the world now
What will we do?
Get The Doctor of course
He'll make it all right!
And of course he does
He's The Doctor
Nothing can go wrong
Except the Timelord Baby!
Made to love
Forced to hate
Tries to kill him
Ends up saving him.
We shall see her again
Old River Song
She'll be alright
Until The Doctor dies.
The Doctor Man
In all his glory
Never was a good person
Since the very beginning.
-Gepard Valk
hello =)
Congrats pyro =)
Hullo, Jasmine!
~glomps~
Hi Jasmine!!!¡¡¡!!!
hey you guys! *gives them both a big hug*
Pyro...*gets on knees and beggs* Xat pleaseee
Aw, see you later, Kal!
~hugs~
~waves madly~
kk kal! see you later!
He can't go onto xat, Jas. His thingie doesn't have flash
bye kal!
ahh right!
sorry pyro =)
Bye Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
@Jasmine
I'm really sorry, I'm on my iTouch and car doesn't work on it.
:(
my butt's stiff thanks to this chair :/
*grinds teeth*
*xat
it's KK Pyro..i forgot thats all =)
':P [< attempt at a smiley raising his eyebrow]
~gives Jasmine a pillow for her chair~
No, autocorrect just decided that car was what I meant when I said xat.
thx skyril =)
LOL
~whacks autocorrect with a frying pan~
By the way pyro...
all those days i wasn't actually annoying you....i can really annoy someone if i want to *smiles proudly*
it was just fun to keep shoving flowers in a persons face and shout if their annoyed yet :p
My butt's still stiff :/
It's really annoying, I want to write sonnets for everyone but Octa has already taken the main aspects of everyone's personality and made poems himself. I can't copy these ideas so there are very few people I can write sonnets for…
Hmm…
I think I've mastered annoying people, being the youngest, it's my secondary method of defence. Or my tertiary, I'm not entirely sure.
You could write it about out OCs :D
Sorry, Jas :P
Now that is a brilliant idea!
Thanks Skyril!
*opens a shop selling air guitars*
Soon, I will be a millionaire!!!
I'm the youngest, but I don't like annoying people so I don't do it very often :P
Maybe when I was younger... but not anymore. And when I DID do it when I was young, I did it unintentionally :P
But then I became really close with one of my brothers [before he left about two years ago, anyway. Since then I've only actually visited him, like, 4 times. Now he's moved to Colorado so...]
And the other one is 9 years older than me so I couldn't get really close to him very much, or annoy him too much. We're kinda close, but, again, he's so much older than me so he has work and he's taking a couple classes online and he has a ton of friends a a girlfriend so he's not around all that much, plus, we're rather different in our tastes.
So... yeah :P
Yay! Glad I could help! You're welcome, Pyro :D
Can't wait for some more poems by you!
*he's so much older than I, not me
I hate that error, and now I go and make it myself xD
~headdesk~
~pokes the silence~
POKE POKITY POKE POKELICIOUS!
I suppose my two main methods of defence are talking myself into the upper hand and cynicism and sarcasm. Annoying people is a side effect of the former.
Sorry, my Internet crashed on me.
September 23 is my birthday! My 16th! Woot :]
Yay!
Chan has his birthday today!!!
Ah, that's alright!
My internet crashes all the time lately :/
It just did, actually...
Really? I didn't know that! I hope he comes on today or tomorrow to wish him happy birthday! :D
brb
He's 14…
Which is odd.
I still think I'm 12…
Kk Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
Back
Where have Jasmine and myer gone?
LOL, Pyro!
You still THINK you're twelve? You're not sure? :P
WB Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
And by the way, you're definitely an awesome 12-year-old and super talented! :D
~hugs him~
I'm proud of my blog brother!
Thanks!
No clue :P
That No clue, by the way, was meant for your question of where Jasmine and Myer have gone... xP
No, I'm 13, 14 soon. But I still think I'm in year 8
And at this ime in year 8, I was 12.
Um...
~is confused~
~shrugs~
Well, you're an awesome 13 year old then! :D
:)
I'm trying to grow fast enough to catch Octa up, then I'll try to pass as 1 year older than I am.
Which is fun, but improbable.

I NEED TO SPREAD THIS BIZZARITY
LOL I've always looked older than I am xD
Someone thought I was 18 once... And that was a couple years ago. He wasn't joking, though. He really thought I was 17 or 18.
O.o
o.O
How is that even possible?
Hi Venice!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hiya, Ven!
~glomps~
I suppose I looked a little older when my hair was longer, but still :P
Since my hair has been cut, I think I look about my age, though. :]
I've met quite a few people who are quite a bit older than me but who are much shorter than me.
It's highly amusing.
:D
LOL
~high-fives Pyro~
^^ I look older than I am XP
but my younger sister is taller than me... =___=

CLICK ITTTTTTT
I stood on a chair and crouched down so that my eyes were at the same height as Octa's. And I looked down.
I literally felt dizzy imagining the world from this height.
damn, how tall IS he?
~laughs hysterically~
Octa should be a basketball player! :P
Nah, he's not sporty. Neither of us are. We're tall and really really thin.
So much so I'm compared to the model skeleton in the science block at school.
bloomp
bloomp?
^^ lol, poor you =P
theres a boy at my (old) school like that... I was in my tallest heels for prom, still nowhere near his height :/
yes, bloomp
I think they should make something you can put in you're hair that burns without damaging it.
*your
...
i don't even...
orange hair gel could work?
I'm gonna have to go to sleep soon, school tomorrow…
Nah, it'd have to burn…
Maybe potassium and something…
REG
you should go now Pyro, you need the sleep.
and thats my good advice quota for the month
Hi Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
ermmm... no, you need something that protects the hair first, then a layer of flammable.

Another poem.
Here it is, if you want to check it out :]

I hope it's not too repetitive... I hate repetitive, but it just seemed right for this poem.
