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.

hmm...anyone here? Sorry for not vocalizing my leave on here last night, I mildly suck.
hi kitty! *shakes her foot*
By the way, I might be distant as I am trying to write, which is a VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS. Such a serious business, of course, that I have neglected to attend to it for the last month, opting instead to look at adorable pictures of baby enchidas..=p
@AWSOMEMAN.
no. just no. delete that comment, tis nonsense anyway.
:O LEGO IS WRITING! best of luck
*looks at time sig* bollocks.
Octaboona Ambrosius- Paragon of the Purple Horde ba ck to your answer it may be 14.99 somewhere else but for a kindle version (electronic version of a book) shouldnt be 8.99 and so i will until it goes down in price wait and wait and wait and i don't care if i miss out i think authors should care more about ppl reading them not pricing it up so much
anyway thats how i feel i know no one will agree thats up to you lot
hallo!
must go now so byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Umm.................Hi
Nobody has commented in my world for an hour and a half

Well, I cant go to school because I got a stomach bug from my freind and now I'm sitting at home sulking and trying not to think of a bug crawling out of my stomach, up my thorat and out of my mouth..........
.......because thats really discusting
and it brought my attention to this
http://thenewschronicle.com/red-meat-esophageal-stomach-cancer/110809296/
I am feeling a HELL of amount of pity to people who have this
This sentence changed immensley, so I'm going to stop talking about stomach bugs now.

Hello, wierd duck girl again.
I just want to say I loved the new SP book Mr.Landy, well worth the time taken to read it!
:)
Thanks for the laughs! :D
GUESS WHAT I JUST GOT 2 WEEKS EARLIER THAN EXPECTED!
*wheeeeeeee* I'll be absent for a couple days. Reading, you know.
Dear Mr. Landy,
I read as far as the dedication so far. You are charming, witty, funny, smart, and so, so obnoxious. Good thing you're also cute.
love,
me
See y'alls on the spoiler post!
@Ann - :O
you forgot the accent too ;)
Ohhh, good point, Venice!
Dear Mr. Landy,
You also have a sexy accent, and the stutter is endearing. But that doesn't make you any less obnoxious.
love,
me
Annnnn.....you're so luuucccckkkkkkyyyyy
*pouts*
I'm not sure if my mum ordered my copy yet. I'm not sure if she even REMEMBERED to order my copy.
It helps to be able to order it for yourself, yeah... sorry, guys. :-( *hugs everyone*
Hey, guys! [if you're still there~
@Ann
Lucky :P
But then you probably already knew that.
Have fun reading DB!!
@Thalia
Ditto.
However, I'm determined to get it ordered today!
~puts my foot down...~
~on top of a nail~
~yowls~
Dear Golden God,
This is one of those times that I sincerely wish that the books besides the first three were released in America. Because then I could just stalk the shelves of my local Barnes & Noble until they got it. But alas. It is not so. So I will continue to slowly waste away until either I get my own copy, or Mar gets hers and finishes it, so I can then borrow it.
From your loyal minion,
Thalia
LOL Skyril!
*hugs*
How're you?
:-/ *wants to supply all the American minions with books*
Hi all!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs Ann*
I know Mar has hers ordered. She even pre-ordered it, so it should be here soon. And knowing her, she'll plow through the book like THAT
*snaps fingers*
So somehow, I will soon have a copy to read :D
Yo Pyro!
*hugs*
How're you?
Hi Thalia!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
I'm good! Thanks for asking, and how are you?
Hi Pyro! Hi Skyril!
Hi Ann!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
I'm tired. I always am after school, though. So, pushing past the tiredness, I guess I'm good. Thanks for asking, Pyro.
hey all!
*sigh*
I promised myself I'd practise my Spanish vocab.
*rewinds*
¡hola!
@Thalia
Yup, I wish all the bookstores had the book too!
~glomps~
Hiya, Ann! :]
~glomps~
Greetings and salutations, Pyro! :3
~glomps~
Hi Venice!
*hugs*
How're you?
¡¡¡Hola Venice!!!
I'm good. Oddly emotional, but good.
Hiya, Ven!
~glomps~
I'm bored of Spanish…
Hi Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
LOL
~pokes Pyro~
You sure got bored of it quickly :P
But that's alright... I think I'll be bored of it when I start to learn it too....
Evertime someone says "'Kay so..."
I think of cheese!
O.o
o.O
yay people! *hugs*
Hiya, lego!
~glomps~
Hi Legolas!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
Hi LEgo!
Ven, why are you emotional?
Hi Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
LOL Welcome back, Kal!
~glomps~
~throws purple confetti all over the place~
@Ann - I'm a teenage girl, your guess is as good as mine :P
snow patrol is helping, turns out their soulessness is good for something.
Caelen would probably like them BA-DUM TSH.
Hi Lego, Kal!
*hugs them both*
Sorry, my bro stole the computer from me. I actually have to go in a bit, but I'm here for now.
*catches a paper plane*
*adjusts a few folds*
*adds a circuit structure to the paper model*
*watches the flying paper helicopter*
:D
*folds a plane into and origami crane*
*makes origami fireworks*
I actually have one of these fireworks, it makes loads of patterns!
Kk Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
Well. Now I must take my leave, for the bro needs the computer for homework, and I must find a way to destroy my school pictures without my parents knowing.
*hugs everyone*
Bye all!
Bye Thalia!!!¡¡¡!!!
Kal!
*catches a paper plane*
*eats it*
Aw, farewell, Thalia!
~waves madly~
Aw, bye Thalia! *hugs*
Dude, Katie Melua has the weirdest music videos on the planet
O.o
o.O
lol, especially her latest ones!
oops...forgot to say I was going again, sorry.
bye thalia! *hugs*
~sighs~
There are, like, two band-the Celtic Woman and Barrage- whose music I can generally say I like. Every other song I like is pretty much singly or two songs. Like Viva La Vida. I don't like anything else by Coldplay. Or Katie melua, for instance. I really like a Happy Place, but everything else I've listened to is just kinda eh. I mean, I like the lyrics to Nine Million Bicycles and I Cried For You isn't TERRIBLE, but I don't like either enough to really listen to very often.
It's like I like the odd song out on everything :P
Aw, ~hugs Kal~
Welcome back...
~knocks her mom out for a little while with a frying pan~
:-P (((Kallista)))
*waves at Hellboy*
*laughs* Well, um, thank you for passing those on.
aww...scary moms are no fun.
*runs into the pacing kallista to give her a magical hot chocolate hug*
also...ANN! HELLO! *incredibly large hamster hugs*
Hey Derek! I just read the book! In four hours! You've really outdone yourself this time! You might remember me from when you came to Auckland. I was the one who said that I thought Scapegrace was called Spacegrape. Yeah, that was me... And when I got a picture taken with you, you told me to look intelligent- a feat I did not accomplish. Not like you. You have the intelligent look downpacked. Because you are. Anyway, it would be really cool if you replied, but no pressure...
Thanks
Brittany
Sorry Kal and Lego, I keep having to do stuff.
*is terrified*
*runs away from incredibly large hamster*
It's chill. um...a friendly, herbivorous, large hamster?
*makes sign of the cross to ward off hamster*
Can't I get giant rat hugs? I like rats.
sure...but white rats kind of freak me out...*ginormas grey rat hugs*
I like black-and-white rats! Sooooo cute! *pets ginormous rat*
aww....*cuddles*
*snugs*
Not my chattiest day ever, sorry.
Hi kallista!!
Hi Kal! Do you want to pet my giant rat?
oh dear...*jumps into the rat's small intestines to save the kallista-mush*
*reassembles her into her normal self, though slightly more...squishy*
O.o
*sprays mushy reassembled Kal with febreeze*
=p
got to go to bed now...nighty night! *hugs*

hi everyone hi BB guess what? I GOT DEATH BRINGER AND DEREK SIGNED IT HES AMAZING!!!!!!! derek i know soon u will read this... hopefully. i guess you are still on tour......
I know he is! I interviewed him last year in Worcester and he was really nice, but it was also really weird cause he was so much like skulduggery! (Obviously I mean in personality, I'm not saying you look like a skeleton Derek!)
Hey Derek, I was thinking about the Skulduggery Pleasant movie and though that maybe instead of doing a movie an animated TV Show! It would be so cool as a weekly show like Transformers or something like that. I hope you take this into consideration and hope that if you can maybe you can answer back with your thoughts. Thanks
Joseph Walters
