A/NZ Tour Locations

Alrighty then, here we go.

New Zealand- from (roughly) the 8th to the 11th of August, I shall be visiting:

Auckland

Wellington

Christchurch


Australia- from (roughly) the 12th to the 21st, I shall be visiting:

Brisbane

Sydney

Melbourne

Adelaide

Perth


I know we have a few readers in Christchurch who read this blog, so I'm glad to be able to visit after missing out last time around. And I know most of you in Adelaide and Perth were CONVINCED I wasn't going to get anywhere near you (especially you guys in Perth) so, y'know... this tour's for you!

And now, because I realised whatever picture I post here also pops up on the Facebook page, I shall post another picture of Gina Carano. Because she's lovely.


And another of Ronda Rousey, keeping the "hand-wrap" theme going...


What do you mean they have nothing to do with what I've just posted?

I own all of your books (that have been released in NZ) and I love them to bits! Also, my friend is reading your books and her exact words are "They are the coolest books in the entire universe!"
So, I was wondering, and yes I know you're a very busy author, but would you be able to visit a school in Christchurch?
If you have time would you be able to visit Villa Maria College? We think you are the coolest author ever and we would be over the moon if you able to come. Please?
Btw, where in Christchurch are you visiting?

Aileen said...

I'm delighted you're coming to Perth. That saves me several hundred dollars flying to Sydney (which I was prepared to do).

Eve the ROCK said...

NEW POST, PEEPS!

I'm determined to have the last comment. :)

Kirsty said...

OHMYGRAPEFRUIT, YOU'RE COMING TO ADELAIDE!!!!

I am so excited, it's almost worrisome.

When? When in Adelaide?
(And also where, where in Adelaide?)

OH YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

Angela said...

Is there any way you would visit Toowoomba Library? We're only an hour or so from Brisbane and we LOVE you!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hey Kirsty, I live in Adelaide too! Cool, someone who lives here besides moi. :D

BUT IT'S MY LAST COMMENT!!!!

Kirsty said...

Hey Eve the ROCK, I'm glad you talked to me, because I wanted to say, love the DP without it being weird, haha!
Who knew other people lived in Adelaide? Awesome!:D

Eve the ROCK said...

DP.... *can't think of anything*

...

Hey, on a totally unrelated topic, what does DP stand for? Or did you mean SP? I really don't know. :P

Adelaide is awesome!!!! xD

Violet Spark said...

Get to see you when you come to brisbane *dies*

Unknown said...

Brilliant - hopefully will get to see you when I'm over there :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Miiiiiiiiine

Cain Minion said...

I drove from Clare to Dublin, but it was worth it because I got my book signed and he said he loves my name! Yay me

Eve the ROCK said...

Noooo

Unknown said...

Dear Derek,

I am a huge fan of your skulduggery Pleasant books. I know it is a bit cheeky, but I am writing on the off chance that you would be able to visit my school when you are in central Auckland, New Zealand in Auckland this year. Anytime would be great but lunchtime (12.25pm-1.00pm)would be perfect!

There are lots of fans at my school (Auckland Grammar School) who would love to meet you.

Yours sincerely

Floyd Fernandez

5007.

Octa said...

A most evil number.

Octa said...

A ruinous number.

Octa said...

An impossible number!

Octa said...

How does a blog post have 5007 comments?

Octa said...

5000 should be the maximum.

Octa said...

A maximum ending in zero.

Octa said...

But no. This maximum ends in seven.

Hmmph.

Boop.

Happy 2015!

Oh God. It's been 2015 for 5 months and 30 days.

How..?

Star Inkbright said...

Oh shit. I may have just started an argument. I did not mean this. I was just angry. D:

Please think before you speak, Star.

Inky Flame said...

(Hi ^.^)

Lavender Hope said...

Star, you got last by posting multiple double comments, that made me laugh! XD

Lavender Hope said...

Also, I agree about what you said, and may or may not be here.

Chione Asahina said...

I've caused more upset than him?
Nice to see who you prefer, Star. I honestly doubt that you evet liked me. Ypu always seem to be arguing the other side.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs star back*)

Chione Asahina said...

But i guess you're right. Just for the fact i've been here longer and had more arguments.
Anyway let's end that there, before you start anothet argument, Star

Anonymous said...

(*quietly thanks star for the second chance etc*)

Chione Asahina said...

Mbd, reading.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Yey! Dad fixed the shower now!)

Lavender Hope said...

Star, be a telepathic ninja owl for a moment.
*sorry, this was really random*

*is not here*

Star Inkbright said...

@Tama: Yup. XD

Star Inkbright said...

@Gemma: Yup. I get mad at you sometimes. I will admit that.

(Admittedlyrics, you have also been online much longer than Keiron. In light of that, it's really to be expected that you would cause more hurt. If not, that would be a rather good track record. I should have factored this into my calculations but failed to.)

:) Yeah. I'm in favour of avoiding arguments, for once.

Star Inkbright said...

*Admittedly

Chione Asahina said...

*mumbles* most of the time...

Chione Asahina said...

*tilts her head at Alia, watching from the tree*

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

*She senses someone watching her*

*A cloud of silvery mist envelops her*

*If anyone approaches, they will get angrier and sadder the closer they get*

Star Inkbright said...

@Aria: Heh. I don't mention when I'm not mad at you, and those times are less noticeable, so . . . :P

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

*Fast paced music in D minor plays*

*The mist fades, and when it's gone, all that's left is a small rodent, possibly a vole, seemingly made of silver*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Poor rodent.. Poor vole..)

Inky Flame said...

(Hey tam tam ^.^

The baggy clothes I'm wearing make me look like a boy

Brb talking to jack)

Chione Asahina said...

Well Star, i'm pretty sure you've shouted at me more times than you've agreed with me *smirks*

Inky Flame said...

(Back

Stop the arguing )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello.

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Kassy O)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Chloe. How did your exam go?

Chione Asahina said...

We're not arguing, Chloe.
and what's wrong with wearing baggy clothes and looking like a guy?

Inky Flame said...

(shit

it was a crap paper
even my chem whiz of a friend whos done all the past papers hated it


people were crying


and we were evacuated half way through because of a fire alarm)

Inky Flame said...

(nothing

I just don't want to look like a guy

its the first time ive worn baggy clothes since I had my hair cut)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Gemmy and Chloe tightly*

I love you, guys!

*explodes with Zaffy's dynamite*

(@Chloe :/

I hope you did better than you expect.)

Chione Asahina said...

Then don't wear those clothes? :)

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles Kas* no dynamite!


thanks, hopefully they'll lower the grade boundaries)

Inky Flame said...

(I wont from now on)

Chione Asahina said...

Awww Kassy ^.^
*hugs back tightly*
You seem to be in high spirits.

You shouldn't take Zaffy's dynamite though. She'll go rage mode and blow up England again...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Mwahahahahaha, that has been my evil plan all along!

Chione Asahina said...

The higher maths paper was too difficult up here. So many people complained that it was even on the news. Apparently paper 2 was terrible.
I hope the same happens with your Chemistry exam, Chloe.

And can i ask if you or your mother is good at sewing or have a sewing machine? If yes then you could still wear the clothes but just make them a little less baggy?

Chione Asahina said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Inky Flame said...

(Thanks, they'll probably lower grade boundaries


I remember what happened when the whole of wales did crap in English language)

Chione Asahina said...

O.o Kassy? You want to blow up England?
I mean, i'm fine with that cause i'm in Scotland apart from the 25th 26th and 27th of September and sometime in October, apart from that i don't mine but you want to blow yourself up?

Inky Flame said...

(my nan can ^.^ ill ask her)

Chione Asahina said...

Mind*

Yeah. Probably.

Chione Asahina said...

Ah that's good Chloe. It would be a shame to waste them especially if you liked them.

Inky Flame said...

(hmm that's odd

im listening to glee songs from the good ol days

im the song 'like a virgin', Rachael, emma and Santana are all wearing purple nightdresses

never noticed that before)

Inky Flame said...

(aye, I like my checkered tops)

Chione Asahina said...

Never really watched glee. Saw a couple but meh.

Inky Flame said...

(I preferred the first few series
now its gone way down hill)

Chione Asahina said...

Yeah. That normally happens with some TV shows.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*raises an eyebrow at Gemma*
Gee thanks. Good to know you're fine with me being blown up too.

*sighs*
*leaves again because I'm gonna get grumpy*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*shrugs*

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles Jai jai*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*pulls Jaimie into the tight group hug*

Nuuh! You're all wonderful!

John said...

*Is dead*

...

*Would do something interesting, but he's dead. And dead people can't do things*

Star Inkbright said...

@Gemma: Yeah. But I also disagree with C all the freaking time.

Inky Flame said...

(don't stay dead John!!!!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*growls angrily*
*paces*
*glares*
*paces*

Star Inkbright said...

Jai . . . ?

Inky Flame said...

(wassup jai?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*glances at star and Chloe*
*paces again*)

Inky Flame said...

(whats wrong?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*waves a hand*
*grumbles about WiFi and reception*)

Inky Flame said...

(ah right

I love the way Americans say anti)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*sighs, head in hands*
*counts the hours*


Anti..?)

Inky Flame said...

(yes
we say ant e

they say ant eye)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Okay..? *frowns*

*sighs*
*mutters 10 hours 24 minutes..*


*shakes head* Wanna rp?)

Inky Flame said...

(Sure ^.^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: *kisses Chris gently, smiling*
Hey, go outside for me okay? Outside type outside.

Inky Flame said...

Chris: *kisses* outdoors? why, may I ask?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: I want to try flying from the roof..

Inky Flame said...

Chris: oh! good luck *smiles*
*goes outside*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: *runs up to the roof, climbing onto it*
*takes deep breaths, looking down at Chris*

Inky Flame said...

Chris: ill catch you if you fall!

Chione Asahina said...

*looks at Jai*
Huh...well that changed quickly. You were really aggitated then your mood xhanged and you wanted to RP. Or was that to distract you from what you're aggitated about?

John, you know that's not true. The dead people in the fields of Punishment in the underworld do stuff cause they were bad. And people in the Elisyian Fields...do what they do as well. I can imagine ghosts having parties and stuff. That would be interesting.

Inky Flame said...

(does anyone else get really painful hiccups?)

John said...

*...........*


*Their bodies can't do things*

Inky Flame said...

(don't be dead!)

Chione Asahina said...

No Chloe, i can't say i've had hiccups that are painful. Maybe hurt my throat a little but it's bareable. More annoying.

*laughs*
But no bodys body can really do anything without their Soul anyway and the soul is the important part and that gets sent to T
the Underworld when we die. So dead people can do things. Their soul is the person, who they are. But you were right the second time in saying their bodies can't do anything. They just become empty vessels when we die *nods and smiles*

Inky Flame said...

(*frowns* it makes my chest hurt quite a bit)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

tbh

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gem distraction. Rping lets me stop being me.)



MrBBWolf: O-okay..
*spreads his wings, feeling the slight wind, beating against them*
I can d-do this.. I-I can..
*runs and jumps off the roof, screwing his eyes closed, beating his wings quickly*
*however they aren't in sinc so he just ends up being turned over and falling back-first towards the ground*

(I tried to sell my soul years ago... didn't want it any more.)

*nods* that's how i feel too, Sid.

*waves at Fabi*

(CHLOE WAS YOUR CHEMISTRY EXAM IN THE MORNING!?)

Inky Flame said...

Chris: *hastily plays the fiddle so a bubble of water forms and softens wolfs landing*

Inky Flame said...

(no it was in tha afternoon
hey Sis ^.^)

Saoirse/Sorcha/Velvet said...

(DAMMIT)

Chione Asahina said...

Hey Seirsha ^.^

Saoirse/Sorcha/Velvet said...

(and heyyy *waves*)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

My hiccups are really bad, I'm not sure if I'd use the word "hurt" per se, but my entire upper body twitches when my vocal chords do.

Saoirse/Sorcha/Velvet said...

(Hey Gemmy)

Inky Flame said...

( I see, mine are painful *frowns*)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Also hello.

I am on the bus, pretending to text people to avoid acknowledging the existence of the creepy guy sitting across from me.

So, when I get close to my stop, I will disappear.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*nods and hugs Chloe*
*murmurs 10 hours 51 minutes..*)


MrBBWolf: *lands in the bubble with a slash*
*swims to the top of the bubble, hair stuck to his head and horns, shirt now see through under his soaked waistcoat*
*blushes*

Chione Asahina said...

You might want to get that checked out. Both of you :-/ that does not sound healthy.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(**hugs Gemma)

(Hi chloe :)


not really here also not really ghosting, just doing hw still. so might not be on till the am's
)

Inky Flame said...

(okay Fab ^.^
*huggles Jai*

ive had it for years, its fine ^.^)


Chris: *smirks* I should get you wet more often

Chione Asahina said...

Aww Fabi i hate when that happens...it's so uncomfortable.

Jai, Why are you counting up?

Saoirse/Sorcha/Velvet said...

(Mine hurt too Chloe. That's so strange though because this morning a GCSE or ALevel exam (don't know which) was interupted by the fire alarm... O_O.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*Huggles Chloe too*)


MrBBWolf: *blushes*
*mumbles*
Y-you already d-do.. ev-very time I s-see you..
*blushes more*

Inky Flame said...

(OMG THAT IS SO WEIRD O.O
maybe its sabotage..

you don't know gower college do you ? XD)

Chione Asahina said...

Chloe that doesn't make it fine if you've had it for years and not got it checked out it's very worrying actually.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gemma because it's going up. The time. Is going up. The time. Is getting longer. I'm being driven insane by time. Time. Tick tock tick tock tick tock I'm a clock don't wanna stop cause tick tock tick tock.)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

It's not pleasant, but I know other people who have the same problem, and it's not like I get really bad hiccups every day, and it's not like they just started recently or anything. But thank you for your concern, Gemma.

Inky Flame said...

Chris: *grins* really? *releases the bubble

Inky Flame said...

(I don't hiccup alllll the time

don't worry ^.^ im tough )

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs fabigale*)


MrBBWolf: *flops onto the ground*
*is once again pinned by his own wings*
*blushes more*
*manages to lift his wings off him a bit then let's them flop back down*
C-Chris.. help..

Chione Asahina said...

But it's 7:55. Not 10:55. Why were you saying 10 hours?

No problem Fabi but again, i suggest if you've had it for a long time you and your friends should probably take a visit to the doctors.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Yeah.

Apparently I'm really approachable, because I seem to deal with random people trying to talk to me and asking me for directions and stuff more than most of my friends. This guy seems to have found someone else to annoy now, though.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gemma because it's been 11 hours 2 minutes.)

Inky Flame said...

Chris: *smiles and offers a hand*



(wolf is so cute *fangirls*)

Chione Asahina said...

Ah that's good Fabi, for you. Not so much for the other person.

11 hours since what, Jaimie?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: *takes his hand, using it to pull himself up*
*folds his arms over his chest and stomach self consciously, blushing*


(Thanks..)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(11 hours and 5 minutes since an important thing that I hate not having.)

Inky Flame said...

Chris: you have nothing to hide honey

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: I-I know..
*keeps his hands where they are anyway*

Inky Flame said...

Chris: *takes his hands away*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: Ch-Chris!
*blushes, squirming*

Chione Asahina said...

You're making this very difficult for me and it's going to get annoying, but what important thing you hate not having?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles Gemma* Don't get annoyed..

Sil: *rolls eyes at this entire predicament*)

Chione Asahina said...

I was meaning for you but obviously not. You're avoiding telling me though but keep saying these times and it is a bit k
irritating to not know what they mean.

Inky Flame said...

Chris: *looks amused* yes?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gem sorry..

Sil: Oh she's just being stupid! You don't see me acting like she's acting and it's worse for me!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Right. Didn't get the job. *sighs*

Don't say anything. I'll be ghosting.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

MrBBWolf: *blushes more*
*looks at his feet, squirming more*

(Hello.)

Liliana: Perhaps Silente and Bethany, to see if we can catch them before we leave. I made us both classified as welcome for the enchantment I placed on the house, so we should be able to appear there.

Claire: What?

Lily: ... Am I old fashioned?
