Righto, I can finally reveal the details for the A/NZ Down Under Tour. Most of the days will be taken up visiting schools, so I'm only listing the public events which will occur in the evenings and at the weekends.
For the public signings, all you have to do is turn up and I'll sign as much as possible in the time I have- but for the public events, it might be a good idea to contact the bookshop/library/whatever as soon as possible, in order to book a place.
The Ireland and UK details will be posted when I have them.
Oh, and for those of you who entered the little short story competition on the Skulduggery website, I've just read through the finalists (30 of them) and the winners will be announced before the weekend. Some truly great work in there...

I haven't watched the whole video yet, so don't blame me if it ends badly
New story!!!
Had to get one in before I left.
READ!
Gotta go
Bye!
I can't beleive they had a show for making pizzas...
*uses Val's funeral joke*
I'm going.
Read my story. It's disturbing and stuff!
Er, yes, I was here all along....
Hello, again, no one
Does no one say bye to me when I go? That's... a little insulting...
Awwww poor you
Sorry, that was uncalled for. I'm going to go eat a bucket of ice cream now
*solemnly removes ice cream and chews on bucket*
Hello, I'm Eve. You may remember me from such films as W.A.L.L.E. and The Mummy
Why hello Eve! I'm Eve.
Good to meet you Eve.
Actually, I hate you. Buh buh
Hi Willow!
Hey everyone who is here!!! *hugs*
Happy Fourth of July, btw to the Ameriminions :)
Stupid internet
msd, I'm only here for a few minutes
Nix! *hugs* you all haven't started World War Three yet, have you????
Hi Nix!
Hi Dark!
World War 3? Please, we're already on Workd War 6
*world
I've been thinking Dark
You shouldn't go with Em. If England pieve together an American Elder going to England during a war, then the Grande Mage killed, they might blame America
Hey Eve!!!
Haha... *peers curiously* I don't know if you're kidding or not...
We still had a lot of planning on WW3... Tones :D YAYYYY
*gasp* oh... You're right.
O.O right, I'll go with the other group, because I'm not really sure who is in what group. It's obvious Em is the leader of the England group...But who's in the Ireland one? It was all very confusing yesterday
For Ireland group- people Ireland don't know are against them. That rules out almost everyone that helped free me...
For England- People who are convicted criminals should go. So me, Lynxia...
Anyone else should focus with dealing with the bulk of Ireland, distracting them in huge fights
What are you guys talking about...?
Me, Lynxia and Em will get into England
I've got a few in mind to go to Ireland
But do we have enough people for an all out war? With proper battles?
*gasps again*
I think I just had a really grand plan...
Perhaps we should add in a few more people??? Like, people who weren't there yesterday. The more the merrier. Or, in this case, the more the mayhem.
Because most of the people who helped with the plan were getting you out of Gaol.
So that's an issue.
Eve, the Zaf and Em thing has gone out of control.
Dark, you know this didn't start yesterday? There are heaps more people involved
Oh okay...and what was happening with Zafira and Emerald exactly?
Ohm and with my Zaf and Em story, anyone involved with this thing on blogland will be in it, unless the say they don't want to
Yes, I just mean the plan that we made. Unless I"ve gone completely insane.
Then... Just for a head count, who all have been involved???
Eve- in fighting Skulduggery, Nix got captured, so we had to go break him out of jail, and then we went back to america, where the Irish declared war on us... And the rest is plans.
Zafira is, on behalf of America, trying to take over Ireland. She started trying to kidnap Em, a agent for the Irish Sanctuary. Then Skulduggery tried to kill Em, so Em started helping Zaf, then Zaf hired me to help, then after a big fight and me getting arrested and broken out, it turned into a war betweent America and Ireldn, causing other countries to pick sides
I forgot to reset D:
Dark, this started ages ago. You just got involved way near the end
And there are two many to count Dark. Ask Zaf
The main reason I'm involved is because I'm writing a story about this
Ah, it's so late for me
I gotta go
Probably won't be on tomorrow
Bye!
Bye Nix!!! *hugs*
I pick Peru
Bye Nix!
you... Pick Peru? What????
You said other countries are picking sides
I pick Peru!
Hah. well, kinda. We've got this whole assassination plan that will turn the English against the Irish. And help us take down the irish sanctuary.
Ireland: I thought we were friends!
Well... they tried to kill Em and Zaf, and put Nix in Gaol.
*frowns* Em's Irish though
Be back real soon
Bye!
And why do you want to take down Ireland?
Bye Eve! And yeah. Em's the main player in this, really...
And Willow... I
I'm not really sure. Well, Ireland declared war on us.
Huh what?? Where is Em?
They also harbor the Death Bringer, Lord Vile, Darquesse, and a lot of other villains.
And, uh... They're... Emotionally unstable.
Your Holy Royal Majesty of Grand Mage Zafira Kerias to the Eminenceness!!!
*hugs*
Nix left... We were discussing war details.
I have to go, and squish plastic and sort out the bin with plastic. Goodbye!
Bye!
Ooh war details...yes yes war. Errs. I litterally just woke up. Scuse my slowness.
Oh happy 4th of July my fellow Ameriminions
bye!!!!
Oh yeah, HAPPY FOURTH!!! *fireworks*
Lol!!! I think we'll hafta set off fireworks
Haha. People have been doing fireworks for the past five days...

blonde moment
We had a special American menu today at school coz it was Independence day:)
Hot dog OR southern fried chicken OR meatloaf.
Haha... I didn't have schoooooollll! Got out in May.
But noice. :D which did you choose?
I HAD SCHOOL.
It was boring.
My brother ran away, again.
ADRAAAAA!!!!! My phone won't let me comment on any blog but Derek's so if I want to comment on anyone's blog I have to email them my comment! However I don't have your email address now so I'll just have to say that I LOVED YOUR STORIES!!!!! Sorry for not being able to leave any comments!!!
Hi Star!
I had sports day today and our head is very... Um... British so let's just say she's celebrates the 4th because 'that's the day we got rid of the Americans'. Yeah, my head is a nice person.
Hot dog!!! It was yum!!!
MAY! OMGG WE DON'T BREAK UP TILL THE 19TH JULY!!!! AND YET WE BOTH GO BACK EARLY,SEPTEMBER, NO??? WELL THE OTHER AMERIMINIONS GO BACK THEN!!!
. . . But then again, we Englandiminions DO have half terms. A half term is a week off in the middle,of the term. We have one half term per term.
. . .
ALSO, HELLO STAR! :)
We had our sports day ages ago...They're optional, for us. C:
Hahahaha I love that, Lynx!
And star- if you care, it's adrasdosdark477@gmail.com
Ahhhh...
Not for us.
It wasn't as bad as I thought, we came first so that's okay.
I finish early, next year. Next year is my final year! *grins*
I still have 2 more compulsory to do, then I might go to sixth form.
Cool, Luce!!!!!
And yeah. Everyone is always like "the fourth is the day that we declared independence against britain and broke away, and we were a mouse afront a lion" and all the jazz...
Honestly, it's a bit stupid...
This is my last year, now. Technically. Because I moved into Y11 a little earlier than others. I follow my new time table and everything, I'm also a prefect.
After this year/next year, I go to college. I don't like any of the Sixth Forms around here. They're terrible.
THANKS DARK! :)
Our sports day is on the 17th . . . :/
Our sixth form isn't bad. It's either sixth form or the college in Newcastle which is 16 miles away from the town which is 7 miles away from where I am now.
Our school has a sixth form. We're South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College, us:)
There's not one sixth form round here that teaches Law. I need to do Law, so I am going to a college down the road from my High School.
WE don't call it sports day. We call it field day...
We play soccer (football)
We play American football...
Tennis. and throw tons of water ballons.. We have 100 meter runs, a 5 k.... Ice cream.
All that fun stuff
We have a rounders tournament tomorrow....
We call our tournament things interform. It's where all the forms in the year group compete against each other. We have hockey for girls and football for boys interform in the autumn term; netball for girls and rugby for boys interform in the spring term; and now rounders for girls and criclet tor boys interform in the summer term
We have eleven forms in our year group with about 30 people in each. We're a lsrge school.
Our school has 400 students in total. Including sixth form.
Your school must be tiny, Lynx...
And we have...Over 11 forms per house. There are five houses.
Seriously? I went to a school that had around 1000 kids. Granted, it was public, and really huge... But it was big. And only kindergarden-fifth. Not even highschool or middle.
Our school is very small. Bare in mind the town is tiny too. And I live in a hamlet that consists of one road, 20 metres long, about 10 houses and a corner shop.
WOAH. We have, including sixth form . . . *counts* approximately 1980 pupils.
1980???????? JEEZ THATS HUGE!!!!!
I live in a very isolated region. The town I go to school in doesn't even show on Google Maps it's that small.
We don't have middle school in England.
*pastes English Schools thingymbobbin*
Primary school:
Reception: ages 4-5
Key stage one:
Year One: ages 5-6
Year Two: 6-7
Key stage two:
Year Three: 7-8
Year Four: 8-9
Year Five: 9-10
Year Six: 10-11
Secondary School:
Key stage three:
Year Seven: 11-12
Year Eight: 12-13
Year Nine: 13-14
Key stage four:
Year Ten: 14-15
Year Eleven: 15-16
And then you can leave if you want, but there is sixth form (which is another two years) if you don't . . .
That explains a lot, Lynx!
We have a hell of a lot...I just don't know how many...A good couple of hundred in my year, alone. *laughs*
We count Yr 9 as key stage 4 because we start GCSE work then.
I'VE FINISHED MY PENCIL ON MY IVY PICTURE!!!
My village probably will. It's a large village.
Star, your school is bigger than mine. Granted, mine is only a High School...
Ah.... I still find your schools confusing...
YAAAAY!!!!
Back to Art coursework - aka, Loki picture!!!
WAIT! NO. I think I got it... We take whatever number grade that we're in, add 1, and that would be the equivalent grade.
In that case, I'm going into year ten... i think.
LOKIIIIIIIII
LOKI IS MINE.
MINE!
FIRST?
Now I don't know what to ded to! D:
I don't want to get into this again Luce, I'm too tired.
But let it be known that my heart has been truly Loki'd...
Ded to Loki!!!!!!!!
I HAVE A DEDICATION. *grins and walks off for a little while to write le deds*
Mine is only a high school. A high school and a sixth form collage, that is.
Gtg but I'll bbl! Fours!
Bye Star!!!!!
SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH!!!!
Bye Star!
Bye, Star! *huggles*
Okay, as most of you know, I'm going through a not-so-good time, at the moment. But there's always someone that's there for me, no matter what happens. I might not know her IRL and I might not ever meet her, but she's always there for me and she'll always be in my heart and my thoughts are always with her. In school I never concentrate on the work, I never have done. I just let myself do whatever and allow my mind to wander. It often wanders back to what happens in Blogland. My friends in Blogland. My FAMILY in Blogland, because you mean too much to me to just be 'friends', not to mention how loosely the word is thrown around. Anyway, she often appears in my thoughts. How she's coping, how much she's done for me. How amazing she is and how stunning she truly is. I love her to pieces and I just wish I could be more like her and be less like me, because she's the most human human being I've ever known and the greatest person I've ever talked to. She deserves so much more from this world than she gets. She's always here for all of us and she really is the most taken advantage of. She has yet to let me down and I adore her all the more because of that. She's saved me from some seriously stupid things and I will forever be in her debt. She always knows what to say and is always strong. She's incredibly talented and I wish I was as talented and intelligent as her! Her amazing talent has made me cry a few times, before! I just wish I could hug her IRL because she's absolutely amazing and really is the Mightiest Of Minions, to me! She's one of the first Bloglandians I ever talked to and you know I can't stay away from you guys for too long, you're my family, after all! <3 Luckily for me, she lives in the same country which makes it more likely that I will one day get to meet one of my heroes! <3 I adore her and she means more to me than my real sister, I don't even want to think what I would have done without her or where I would be now, if it wasn't for her. She has her flaws, yeah, but she's still as sexy as ever;) So now if you don't mind, I am going to steal Legolas, Link and Loki from my sister. Because, Lynx, they're mine! LYNXIA LOST YOU'RE SO AMAZING I CANNOT EVEN! *attacks with huggles*
*is attacked, huggle style* Aww, thanks Luce!! The feeling is mutual!! *hugs*
But they're MINE!!!!!!!!!!!
*grins* ALL THE TRUTH LYNXXXXXX! <3
And they're mine. I'm older, so...Yeah. That'll do. They're mine because I am older. I'm closer to their age! :P
*hugs back* THANKS, KAL! Hello, by the way! :D
Hi Kal! *hugs back*
Like I care Luce, Tom is like, what, 31? Maybe he's a little old for both of us but that doesn't matter... ;)
31...Only 15 years older than me. It's fine. *laughs* but he's mine;D But then Becky may get involved....
LUCE!!! THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
hey Kallie! *tackles.*
Here. Have Skul-cake.
*hands Skul-cake. Opens portal, jumps through*
N'awhhhhh! Thanks, Adra! :D
I remember liking Loki more than Thor when we did Norse mythology when I was... 5/6. I almost cried when we were told what they did to him!! Everyone else laughed!!!!!! *screams* No, my poor Loki!!!!!!!!!!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!1
It took me ages to make him let me borrow the helmet!!! WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*puts on a fedora*
Because I have impeccable dress sense.
Nuh! I'm making one this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*puts on a fez* As do I
Me gotta go!! Bye!! *hugs*
Bye, Lynx! *hugs*
BYE LYNX!!!! *hugs*
Haha FAIL.
I am very well, thank you muchly. Cooking. And listening to Doctor Who while Star Trek is playing in the room adjacent.
The usual.
HELLO!
Happy Fourth of July to the Ameriminions :D
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO THE AMERMINIONS!
Hello, Val! :D
oh HEY VAL!!!! *Hugs* Thanks!!!
A very smart, sweet girl with lots of things on her mind. Robyns are truthful and sometimes be quite fiery. She may seem distracted a lot and that's because she is most of the time. Loveable and a boy magnet. Very creative and sometimes shy, she always has to have music on. silence is her only weakness. She doesn't think she's attractive but in reality she's the most gorgeous thing you'll ever meet. often spaces out when near windows. always contemplating something. sugar junkie. very pale and doesn't care. easy to get along with. everyone loves her. stands up for her friends and would never hurt anyone intentionally. cares too much. picks the wrong crowd. not easily influenced. has soo much planned for her. remember her, she'll be widely known soon. if you fall in love with a Robyn don't ever let her go. she likes playfighting. looks like the nost innocent person alive but can be the sexiest, kinky little thing if you get her to that stage. likes being pushed to do better. always looking after those around her. omg, im soo in love with this girl she's perfect. ahh you must have caught a Robyn good job man, you're lucky.
My middle name is Robyn. I was supposed to be called Robyn, I'm called Jordan instead.
Look at what my taken name means:
Beautiful girl with incredible wit, normally happy and willing to help her friends. The name means light and bright, and is believed to bring incredible luck to those who name their kids this way.
Kallista is a name meaning 'Most beautiful'.
Kallista's are all unique; rarely meeting someone else with the same name.
