Okay then, here comes the places I'll be visiting in the Ireland/UK part of the tour. As mentioned previously, these will be weekend affairs- from Fridays to Sundays (mostly)- and they'll mainly consist of public signings.
30 Aug - 3 Sept:
Dublin
Bray
Drogheda
Cork
7 Sept - 9 Sept:
London
Bournemouth
Southampton
13 Sept - 15 Sept
London
Birmingham
Liverpool
And I'll also be appearing at the Bangor Literature Festival, the Mountains to the Sea festival in Dublin, and the Cheltenham festival.
The fact that I can't visit EVERYWHERE is always a shame, but we do try and spread the love as much as possible. This time around, my publishers took into account that I'd be in Australia/NZ for the previous two weeks, so I reckon they took pity on me. Maybe it was all the manly crying I did. We'll never know...
Eagle-eyed Irish readers may also have noticed that I shall be appearing on the "Celebrity Mastermind" quiz show, starting on TV3 this Sunday. I'm not sure what episode I'm on (I think it airs on July 1st but I'm not sure). For those who don't know, Mastermind is a show where you are asked questions about a chosen topic, and then you're asked general knowledge questions. I'm not going to say ANYTHING about what happened (we recorded it a few weeks ago) so you'll just have to watch to see how well I did. Or not, as the case may be. Ahem.
Let's see, anything else...
The Forums are back up, thanks to a load of readers who chipped in and paid the website domain fee. You Minions are amazing, you really are. Anyone who hasn't visited really should, if only to raise an eyebrow or two at the topics being discussed...! skulduggeryforums.co.uk.
Oh, and sometime soon (don't know exactly when) we'll be releasing Chapter One of Kingdom of the Wicked for you to read over at skulduggerypleasant.com, a chapter entitled "The Butterfly and the Wolf"...

Hello, by the way.
I'll be back in a little while, I want to get breakfast and a cup of tea and then I'll be back. So, uh, a couple of minutes!
Anyone hear from Mist, by the way?

Hi Luciana!
Hello! :)
Dinner be back soon!
'Kay, Eve! :)
S'UP!?
*clears throat*
hi.
*glares at post*
I never say sup. Why did I do that?
Hello. :)
Long time no blogspeak. :'3
Indeed.
I won't be here long. there are some cup-cakes that need my attention. after I tear myself from Tumblr.
I'm really getting into seeing movies in the cinemas twice. For some reason it keeps happening.
I saw HG twice because I'm a little nuts. But yesterday I saw The Avengers again.
I think I'm developing a serious issue.
I'm on tumblr, right now.
*attempts to pull self away from tumblr*.
*fails*.
Oh well. I'll just carry on tumblr-ing.
I can quit anytime I want to.
That want just has yet to arise.
the Avengers kicked ass!!
btw just saw it
thats my way of saying 'hi'
Well hi then!
I enjoyed the avengers too.
Tumblr makes everything better and more extremely mega awesomey. So now know pretty much the entire script.
i saw it with friends and through out it we were like,
man, they kick ass
I saw it once. Could quote it to my friend because she hadn't seen it and so had to see it again with her.
It was even better the second time.
for like, the whole movie I'm thinking: Imagine how good Captain America would be at frisbee.
*couldn't
I don't want to turn off tumblr.
It's too beautiful.
i know right!!
if you had a frisbee contest against Captain America, it would be easy to bet
Ok the cup-cakes are calling.
Auf wiedersehen alle!
cupcakes!!!!
Bye, Lorelei! :)

Hi Rim!
*looks at homework*

Come to Scotland, Derek! :)
hello Azz!
Hi Azz!
Hey people!
I restarted Rebellion chapter two. I was almost asleep last night when I had this crazy urge to write Rebellion . . . So I sat up, groped for my notebook and pen, and did an hours solid scribbling in the dark. My restwrted version's much better - there was something a little off about my non-restarted one.
Sorry, I forgot to put my speed ball away and it's raining :(

QUESTIONS FOR DEREK:
1. Do you ship any pairings in SP? If so, which one(s)?
2. Will you please say hello to Nix and Mist? Because they're amazing and lovely. AND LYNXIA.
3. Who is your favourite character in SP? Because I just think it'd be interesting...
4. What is your taken name?
5. If you could use magic, what discipline would you follow?
6. Which of the books did you enjoy writing the most?
7. WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE SERIES OF DEXTER?!?!?! *loves Dexter, but it always comes second to SP*.
8. Speaking of Dexter, have you read the books? If you haven't, you should. They're good, not Landy-Level of good, though. They're still good.
9. WILL YOU CONSIDER GETTING TWITTER?!?!?!?
#GetLordLandyOnTwitter

It's been a while, Luciana! I emailed you - but I'm not sure you got it.
On your Facebook group, you mentioned leaving for a while. Are you feeling somewhat better now?
http://mystoryofsomesortaboutsomethinghmm.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/death-and-ice-chapter-7.html
for those who have appeared, i have done chapter 7!!
Oh, I left my fb pages. None of the admins have noticed, yet, though. *laughs*. I might be back one day, oh well. c:
E-mail..Hmm...Imma check my e-mails, now! They've been playing up, recently. D:
Msd and wbd:(
YAY! I've waited WEEKS for you to tell me that, Eve! *runs off and digs up my secret stash of bananas* If you look back through the commsnts, you'll see the moment I buried them:) *reverently lifts out the purple banana which have been placed on top* L got me this banana specially. Yes, you can see that in the old comments, too.
Gotta go! Might not be back for a few days or a week max. :( bye!!!

With unimaginable skill.
*laughs*.
*is proud of quoting SP as an answer, again*.
Oh, hello there!
Hey, Flame! :)
HEY L.
I'm so going to kill someone this evening.
S'up, Flame?
*eats purple banana* Thank you Star.
Hi Phoenix! Who's gonna die?
Ah, not actually kill. just damage her little ego.
Thats all.
Ah, fair enough.
Sounds like fun! XD
Hello Flame!
It wouldn't be fair naming names, but ill shall give you a hint: her name is a colour , followed by a flower.
Who...?
Oh. I know who.
ITS GONNA BE.XD
Do you?
Yes.
If you do know who it is, and you'd like further details, you can email me.
Kay, I'll do that
hi Flame!
i know who!!
I'm insanely curious. But I'm just going to... ah - stand right here.
Sent
Hey Miss.
We need to get you a shortened name. ~.~
its ______________!!!
i like Miss
or Missy
Good guess, Miss!
i know!!
i really should finish this homework but i swear, the questions they ask are NOT in the text
You need to inference, Miss Cain!
inferwhat??
Are you in year 6?
*has just realised who Flame was talking about*.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.
*is stupid*.
*laughs at self*.
ahhh
i know what inference is NOW
*is clueless*
i looked in my dictionary on my iPad
*strokes iPad*
Inference! You read between the lines! E.g:
"Miss Cain ate her breakfast."
What time of day was it?
Morning!
I have no idea what I'm saying
*hi-fives cardboard Skulduggery*
I CAN'T FIND A US PROOF COPY ANYWHERE.
*sobs*.
neither do I Eve, neither do I
SO DEPRESSING.
I've gone through over 20 pages on Google.
What?
And EVE, did you get the mail?
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO DAMN RARE?!?!
WHY CAN I NOT FIND A BLOODY US PROOF COPY?
I NEED ONE FOR MY COLLECTION. D:
I MUST find one.
Fuzzlebugs. ):
Becky said she'd keep an eye out for me, though. Which is good. C:
that is good L
YAY!!!
new page!!!
Hmm...
Can't think of anywhere else to look.
I found my UK Proof copy within minutes of searching for it...
Just replied then, PHOENIX
What is a proof copy? I keep forgetting
isnt it an unpublished version of a book??
i think thats right
In printing and publishing, a version of a manuscript that has been typeset after copy editing.
there we go!
Okay, um...can you dumb it down a bit? :P
In other words, an uncorrected version of a book.
Oh okay. Why would you want that? To correct it?
Because I want to complete my collection.
It's never going to be as good as Becky's. But, like China, I am a collector.
Because I want to complete my collection.
It's never going to be as good as Becky's. But, like China, I am a collector.
Yeah, I'm so jealous of Becky
Hey, isnt there someone here called Ellaisia?
ahh
makes sense now
*has a pen in hand, finishing homework*
i think so Eve
Becky is lovely.
I might attempt to beat her with number of books...
I'm aiming to buy around 60 in the next year, or so...*made a huge list of all the SP books she's going to buy*.
*looks at L's list*
wow
Eve, there a reason you put my name in caps?
Reason I put your name in caps:
You put MY name in caps. I like to get even at unnecessary times.
Also,
MANGOES
I play bongos when Leonard is sleeping.
OH! Deds.
Dedicate to bongos.
*imitates Sheldon from TBBT*.
*starts banging a bongo because she doesnt know how to play one properly and cuz its funny*
*goes back to finishing homework on the bench*
*sighs*
nearly done
Yeah, EVE, seemingly he gets migranes just from ius changing our names. Or in this case, me adding a dot to my name!
Oh my god that was so funny, I love the Big Bang Theory
*is playing the bongos irl*.
Hahahahahaha
*narrows eyes at capital letter*
*writhes around on ground holding head*
*looks at Eve on the ground then raises an eyebrow*
Sorry.
*stands up*
Migraine.
ahhh
*nods then goes back to the bench*
bloody homework
Bloody bloody bloody
I think my tea addiction has returned...
I don't drink tea
I had my first cup of tea of today about an hour ago, now I am on my, like, fifth cup...
i like tea
brb
oh, ive had enough of dragona.
What's happened this time, Flame?
'Kay, Cain.
Ah, no point explaining. Y'know what he like.
Ah, okay, then. C:
Just never let me talk to Dragona.
I'd probably go on some huge fucked up rant about his stupidity...
Ha, like i already don't! :)
Orrrrrrrrrrrrr, I could..But then I'd be incredibly offensive and insult him none-stop...
I can get incredibly insulting, at times...Words like me, sometimes. ;3
Hello again, Cain! :) *waves*.
*waves back*
OMGG, Rachael Leahcars voice is beautiful!!
