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...

*cleavers come in, followed with a shadowy phoenix*
You are all under arrest for the assault on Phoenix Nightslayer.
You will ALL be tried, and EXECUTED.
What're you talking about, my dear? I've done nothing wrong...*makes eyes look as wide as possible and pulls on a jacket, to hide blood-stained top*
Execution? Well, that's no fun. I've already been executed. Can't you think of something better than that?
How are you anyway, my dear? *walks up to Phoenix*
*smiles*
Darling, what is the problem? Have we done something wrong? *raises eyebrow, inquisitively*
I....I vote Derek Landy the Golden God tries us......
*hides the engine*

Now, I fear I may drop this engine in Ireland..,.nah England im half Irish
Hi Flame and excutees!

Hi Star...DONT KILL ME WHERES THE JUSTICE?! I rather Skulduggery arrest me....

Well I almost dropped it on Ireland but see I'm Irish too, half Irish, so
*drops the engine on south England*
*BOOM*
BOOM!
Bang went the charred remains of the English Santuary! (It's in London . . . )

COMMENT ON MY BLOG IF YOU WANT IN!
Bye, Flame! :D
Fours Flame! You mean Yorkshire? Yeah, I know. If I've seen Dragona, it was without knowing he was Dragona. Anyone know which part of Yorkshire he lives in? i.e. North, South, East, West?
I'm East Yorkshire.
I'm South Yorkshire! :'3
America!!! Lol
East Riding of Yorkshire. That's me. *nods*
South, L? :(
Rotherham, South Yorkshire. :'3
O.o i know someone in Cambridgeshire
That's so far down South! Like the sparrows in the winter;D
Lol yeah! It is far I hear
I'm East Riding. Like I just said. My nearest vity is Hull, six miles away
*city
You mean you USED to know them Zaf. You blew up South England, remember?
Msd.
My nearest city is Stroudsburg like....uhm 30 minutes away
Oh yeah i did blow up South England...least Derek wasnt injured
'Kay, Star! And Zaf blew it up after I blew up the English Sanctuary. x3
You were sure to not injure Derek when you blew up the Irish sanctuary, right Zaf?
Sounds like a pretty place, Star! Rotherham is just...Well, Rotherham.
Thats a pretty name!
Yes I am positive I didnt injure Derek! He's training (still I would assume or he'd enlighten us with his precense)
Jesus lads, I leave ye alone for a few hours and your tearing lumps out of one another.
Good! And I hope he's at training...Or here! That'd be cool, too. XD
SHELL! *Tackle hugs*
Hiyurrrrrr.
*groans as I hit the floor*
Nice to see you too L
Hi Em!!!
Did you know I used the Desolation Engine?!
*is proyd of self*
where's Scarab's electro spider?!
*groans and looks at the dried blood smothering her chest* ouch..
I think I might need this bandaging up.... *frowns*
Okay, I think it's official:
I suck at Halo 3.
Hi Em!
*looks at them* Exactly. Pretty name + a few big houses + an outstanding primary school (they got five outstandings in a row from the ofsted inspectors) + expensive houses (the prices are high coz if the outstanding school) + the school being posh = the stereotype that everyone from Swanland is posh.
That makes two of ta, Val. :3
*of
LETS BLAME IT ALL ON THE SCHOOL THEN!
*walks the ten-minute walk down the hill to my old orimary school anf burns it down*
There:)
Us*
If you get an empty bottle and hit it on your head it makes a boing sound. XD
*primary
Never played it. Sorry.
Do you know what Zaf, do what you want. I'm not in the mood tonight
What's wrong, Em? *frowns*
I might've been better at it if Peren stopped driving away before I could get in...
Whats wrong?
I had my second wisdom tooth pulled out today
And I can't get my story out... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I'm not in the mood for chasing Zaf around tonight, last night knackered me out.
Ouch. And writers block. I know that all too well.
Also, me and Zaf have been killing people all afternoon. :3 *shoots another sanctuary official*
Yup!!! I bet that hurt :(
*whips shadows at Sanctuary offcial* they dead..
Em I'll be nice *stands in open*
My second chapter of Rebellion (my story) is AAAAAALL writtrn out, but now I have to type it up:(
I've done three eighths of it.
*waves at Zaf*
Stand there all you want. I'm not chasing until I get my next chapter out.
So be part of the problem or the solution as they say lol
Hmm...I've been considering that whole China remark, from earlier...There are many traits of which I and she share, I guess. However, I, for one, would not compare myself to the lovely China Sorrows. For starters, her name is far more elegant.
.....
I can sleep without not....dying?! Ok!!
YOU CAN SLEEP WITHOUT NOT DYING??? O_O
*opens email irl* Ah, Vlaedr commdnted on my blog . . . Oh, and YAY, he didn't moan at me for quitting. Must be the only one:)
Lol!!!!
I mean I can sleep and not worry about Em trying to arrest me xD
*jumps onto Zaf and shackles her*
*laughs loudly*
I lost a tooth not a limb Zaf lol so naive
*laughs gently*
Oh, Zaf. Must I break you out, again? *smiles, slightly*
I ADORE my new memory stick. It's ACE.
Dangit....short lived
What are you charging me with this time Em? Attacking the Golden God?
Inkie. People. Meatsnacks.
*nods*
No just for pissing me off plus assault on a Sactuary agent last night.
Don't you dare L or else I'll shackle you too.
*shuts down mini-laptop for now*
I wish today was Friday.
*wraps arms around thick branch and lies in the trees, looking down at potential fight*
Hi Name Master! YAY, you didn't moan at me for quitting my fanfic:)
'Ello, Vlaedr. *tosses a pinecone at him*
Inkie, people, meatsnacks?
Inky people, meatsnacks?
Inky people are meat snacks?
*eyes widen in terror*
*scuttles further up tree*
Heya Vlaedr
*laughs* Have fun trying to shackle me... *giggles and slides a small clip into her hair and shadow walls to the opposite side of the lake*
Hello, anyone that's appeared!
Name Master. I like it. You also have potential, young padawan.
Ello Valkyrie V. Cain - the brilliant creator of Ivy Animosity.....
Emerald. L.
I greet you.
I'm bored...
I didn't moan at you Star, I just said to keep it away somewhere in case you get a light bulb about it. Is that moaning?
God why is there nothing but fugitive co-conspirators here, I can't get my damn job done
Nice new pic Em. Chicks?
*whispers down to Vlaedr* Those chicks would be a lot better meat snacks than inky people!
Hey, even good guys get bored, from time to time...There's a part of is all that we dislike.
Good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul. :3
I AM A YOUNG PADAWAN!
Sorry Em!
GUYS, STOP MAKING ME LAUGH IRL. In fact, I'm not even sure why I AM laughing . . .
Maybe if i can pick the lock....
I dont know, Ink. You look pretty appetizing...
But what I meant when I wrote that was; Inky, Other people, and Meatsnacks. *then I nodded*
I'm not a good guy.
Well, I suppose I'm, like, half and half... Val's good, Ivy's evil.
OOH! OOH! I'VE READ THAT QUOTE L! IT WAS IN A MORTAL INSTRUMENTS BOOK! OR INFERNAL DEVICES!
No not chicks Star, they are penguins with headphones on.
Try it and I'll break your fingers Zaf *smiles sadistically*
Doesnt Death Bringer start with that quote....
....it was in DB from Jekyl and Hide. :'3
Also, you can be good, Val.
*inkerifies skin, making it go pitch black* Still appetizing?
Well, I am CERTAIN it was also an MI or ID quote.
*tosses keys to Zaf and smiles, kindly*
How is everyone, thus fine day?
Just because you are filled with ink, doesnt mean you wont be tasty....
*inches closer*
Of course, I could be wrong. *smiles, showing inky black gums that make me look a bit like I'm possessed by a Remnant*
...Just a bite. Just a little taste...
*inches closer*
What about your legs? You dont need those....
Vlaedr, *appears next to Star* step away from the Inky One. *clenches fist*
I am inky, L.
*inches backwards*
*realises I was inching backwards still in the tree, onto thinner branches*
*looks down* Er . . .
*branches snap*
*falls*
Vlaedr, you're getting a little close to Star...
*unlocks the shackles on Zaf*
I give up!!
*goes and pouts in the corner*
(Le small part of mind: Sir, they seem to outnumber us! And they dont look friendly!)
*struggles*
Oh NO, not MORE broken bones . . . *hobbles away on twisted ankle, clutching broken arm and chewing a leaf*
*shifts into werewolf and stands beside Star*
Leave Star alone
*sees wounded Ink*
(Le other small part of mind: Go on! Just one bite! You know you want to!)
*struggles*
Well, Em, if you ever need any unofficial help, be sure to let me know. As an information broker, I can be of help, more often than not. *grins*
You know what's funny? Trying to explain something you might want to change in your story about a crazy murderer to your mumzy.
Wow. A werewolf. The irony.
*gains control*
*looks back over shoulder*
*trips over tree branch and lands on broken arm*
AAAAARGHHHH!!!!
*remembers it didn't hurt coz of leaf*
Ah. Right. *smiles sheepishly*
*passes Star a healing rock*
Vlaedr...Don't. Even. Think. About. It.
Glad I could impress
*pokes Emerald's arm*
Is that real fur? Looks fake to me....
...
You didnt hafta release me Em...I'll come quietly
Do you know what I need unofficail help with L.
My poxy story. I damn this thing to hell. I don't even like my 5th chapter now.
*takes off ring*
This is what a REAL beast looks like.
*towers over Emerald at 6.4*
*looks up from punching tree root with good arm* Does that mean you won't eat me, Name Master?
Excellant. *smiles and carries on punching tree root* BAD tree root, BAD! How DARE you trip me up?
Msd:(
*lets out a low growl*
Don't. Poke. Me!
*bares teeth*
*looks up*
holy...Snow, thats...tall
*peeks in closer at teeth*
Definitely implants. Wow.
And is that what passes as a growl to werewolves?
*throws shadows at vlaedr*
Em, I might be able to help with that. You may have to wait until the morning, though! When i get home tomorrow I'm all yours. I'll help you with your story. I help a lot of people. X3

*uses healing rock in the lake, thanks Em and watches the potential fight with interest*
*rumbles of laughter coming*
Psssht! 6'4
However, myself my good man stands at a proud 8'10.
So I'm afraid that it is me looking down on you
*lets out a roar*
Potential fight?
Really?
And you call ME bloodthirsty....
*displays picture of tree root being murdered on palm*
*watches from my tree*
What was that? All I heard was squeeks of denial and pitifulness.
This is how a real animal growls!
*stands firmly and lets loose a raging growl, the echo heard from miles away*
*shrugs* It IS a potential fight.
Am I the only one here who has read both Vlaedr's story and Em's?
(nods quickly to Ink)
I have no clue who Em is.
*watches still*
arrest the smaller wolf Em!!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if you are Star lol
*ears go flat against my head as I let the growl come up from my chest. The ground rumbles*
GUYS, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE ME LAUGH IRL!!!
*winces and covers ears at ROOOOOOOOAAAAAARS*
WOLF!!!!!!!!!
YOU DARE CALL ME A WOLF!!!!
*starts walking to Zafira*

@Vlaedr: Em is . . . erm . . . Em is Em.
FOURS L!!!
*FAR
*stands in front of Zaf*
*ROARS*
Leave her alone Vlaedr.
I WILL IF SHE SWEARS TO NEVER CALL ME A WOLF AGAIN!!!!!
I DO NOT ABIDE HALF-TRUTHS!!!!
*eyes glow luminously*
(whispers at Star)
I'm gonna get my ass kicked aren't I?
*sighs* READ the stories on their blog-amorys, then about stuff you will know!
READ the stories on their blog-amorys, now go on go, go go!
(That was to the Balamory tune btw).
(whispers to Star)
Tell her I wont kick her ass if she reads my blog.
*whispers back* Maybe. Nothing is certain.
Just to clear things up - Vlaedr isn't a werewolf.
We are wolves to some extent.
Take a chill pill there.
*whisper to Em* Vlaedr says he won't kick tour ass if you read his blog.
Wow, this is like primary school again:)
*whispers to Vlaedr* I told Em what you told me to tell her.
*whispers*
Thank you. You are too kind.
Nobody touches me without dying
*whispers back* You're welcome. It was lemons. She trusts me. Mwah ha ha.
Why do I get the feeling she is reading my blog?
If you want to know what I am and what I can do, go read Lord Vlaedr's story on my blog. There are nine chapters so far, and they are short....
When did I touch you.....
*wonders* I have no idea why you get that geeling, Vlaedr.
*feeling
DAMN MY TYPOS.
*puts ring back on*
Well... This is taking a while....
I got first without trying O.o THAT my friends takes skillz lol
I have read his blog and it is so very well written.
Plus I don't think I should be attacking a bear/wolf.
It just doesn't seem polite.
Good job Vlaedr!!!
*yawns*
I think we have time to nap...
*curls up next to random tree*
YAY! I DIDN'T GET FIRST! *buries bananas*
*starts making a giant statue of a banana to give to the Banana Lord, aka Eve*
Thank you.
While I was making sarcastic comments, I was reading your blog. I like how it is very realistic and very easy to picture.
Ditto, I say.
YAY! THE (sort of) FIGHT IS RESLOVED! *buries more bananas*
We're just as bad as one another lol
Plus I'm another one who likes to hear what people think so go comment mad Vlaedr and I will do the same when I bash out my next chapter.
Deds....
1. Uhm...Em for not arresting me yet
2. Derek for coming on (still dunno what you training for)
3. The Faceless Ones (book)
4. KOTW
5. L, my partner in crime
If anybody sees Eve, tell her I has a suprise for her:)
*remembers half my country is blown up and laughs*
Good. We have made a deal. I agree completely. Now I dont have to A) kick your butt or B) get my butt kicked.
Ink, I see her. Right over there.
*points*
*is patiently putting extensive detail into statue*
It's seven feet tall and is made out of purplish metal.
WHERE??? *swings round*
*narrows eyes* Either you're lying, or you're hallucinating, or Eve's invisible.
I love how my blog is always at the top of the list of blogs people follow. Coz it's first two letters in the title are A and B.
*finishes statue*
*thorws cloth of it*
Might see Eve tomorrow, before school:)
*whistles in amazement*
That's some nice work there Star.
Do you really think I could have kicked your ass Vlaedr? Wow, I'm actually blushing lol
Thanks Em!
Maybe she'll stop using up all my emergency bananas now . . . !
Star, will you comment and tell me what you think of my 5th chapter.
