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"...

*sighs*
fine
i think Eve has disappeared
BOO!
Well, you got someone to come
Hi Marsh
...I don't think it worked this time... although it's only been two minutes.
*stumbles back in* Finishing off an assignment and homework. Nix, I will read that once I am finished with this hellish handwork.
Hi Marsh!
*laughs*
Hi Marsh.
Hey, it DID work! Hi Eve!
SEE!!!!
hi ValMarsh!!
Hi Eve!
i have proved my point
And what a point you have proved.
Huh?
*laughs again*
brb, dinner
Okay, Miss.
Its a very important point. Maybe, just maybe if miss cain says goodbye to derek next time he comes on, he'll stumble back on.....
*laughs again*
That would be funny, Marsh.
Whoa, there was just a small earthquake right here...
Yeah... hey emerald got to meet derek at dalkley and she made a vid of him saying hi to us minions on youtube!
You could feel it, Nix? How small?
WHAT!!! I DIDNT FEEL.AN EARTHQUAKE!!!!
Apparently, there was an earthquake in the middle of the night in Adelaide some time ago, but I slept through it xD
I know, Marsh. That was nice. You guys who get to see him are so lucky! I think the publishers have it in for Americans. We don't even have the whole series here.
My bookcase shook...
It wouldn't be big enough to do anything but maybe make something fall over
That's good it wasn't that big, if you slept through it, Eve.
Freaky... I heard California has some earthquakes, but I've never felt one.
Oh yeah, I remember one that was maybe a month ago? I slept through it too. :P Wasn't that big, but in one place, it was big enough to make an adobe wall break a bit. That's the only damage I heard of.
Give your bookcase a kick, Nix. If it doesn't fall to pieces, you're good for another few months
an EARTHQUAKE!?
back, dinner was yummy
yeah, what Eve said
Okay, it's really late. I'm gonna go to bed now. Nix, it's so good to see you back. :)
Night all!
Bye Lav! It's good to be back!
bye Lav!
The way this bookcase is? If I kick it, i'll be lucky if it stays in one piece
then dont kick it
I'll be back soon
Bye!
okay Nix
bye!

Derek must be having fun reading through the entries
Hey Derek!
I am the biggest fan that ever existed. I have just a few questions that I hope you’ll answer, otherwise I’ll just keep putting them up
1. I know you probably don’t have time to read anything with the links I put up here, and that’s fine. But, I was wondering, would you ever consider, even consider, letting me and Zathract Mist publish a fan-fic series we’ve started. It hasn’t used any of your characters, or your locations. However, it has the same roots. Same Skulduggery Pleasant universe, but in Australia. It would make my world to get it published. At the moment, the chapters of book one is being put up on a blog, the link of which will be at the end of this question. Of course, if you let us publish this, that will change somewhat.
Link: http://mistandnixseries.blogspot.com.au/ (you have to go back a bit to find chapter one)
2. Do you think I have potential to be an author? I have a few things here that, if you read, I would die of awesome overload
Link: http://readthismortals.blogspot.com.au/
3. Do you think me Strange?
4. Will you remember me, if I mention this blog name, when I meet you on tour in Australia, Melbourne?
5. Am I amusing, or just worrying?
6. Do you feel the urge to call the asylum when you see me comments?
7. Traditional or Original (first answer that comes into your head)
8. Why are there no werewolves in Skulduggery Pleasant?
9. What do you stick in the toaster
a) Toast
b) Bread
c) A fork
I hope you answer! May the Faceless Ones not use you as a vessel and melt your face!
Nixion Strange (who is completely insane! [kinda rhymes])
i never told my mum i entered
what to say if a signed Death Bringer paperback arrives??
what to say if i WIN???
If you win, then scream!
Agh. Past midnight is my limit
Bye!
nice questions
Derek answered mine the other night
he thinks we talk weird
O.O
goodnightio Blogland!!
the one and only
Miss Cain
heelllooo
Oh. Um.... Hi.
THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS, DEREK.
And now I reallllllllly want to know your taken name!
It'd probably be something seriously simple and yet witty, at the same time... Hmmmm....
*ponders the thought*.
I bought another six SP books, last night. Buying two more, tomorrow. ^_^
MAYBE...
YOUR TAKEN NAME IS ACTUALLY DEREK LANDY! :O
OOOOH.
Derek.
Okay, serious mind-fuck. I might've said it before, I probably have, but...
WHAT IF YOUR TAKEN/GIVEN NAME WAS THE SAME AS YOUR TRUE NAME?!?! What'd happen?
Okay;
DEREK LANDY. Hello, if you read this. Can you answer some questions and do me a favour? Please.
Q1: Do you like the colour green, or think of it as a vulgar colour?
Q2: Do you watch Sherlock (BBC)?
Q3: Will you go on Twitter...?? Pretty, pretty please. *fluters eyelashes in an attmpt to get her and many minions wish*
Q4: If you had a horse, what would you call it?
Q5: If you had three wishes, what would they be?
FAVOUR, if you don't mind me asking: Please will you wish one of my best friends, Emilie Johansson, happy birthday for next Friday. She is a really great friend and I want her to have the best birthday, because she is so kind and helpful to me. <3
Thank you, Golden God! <3 :)
Hellow. wont talk much. hi New People, and the rest of you. and Derek.
Blogland is dead..
BLOGLAND IS AS DEAD AS SERPINE.
*is only making references to SP because my brother is here*.
It's not dead, just a bit quiet. Like a fast-food restaurant at 1am.
BUT NOT QUITE AS DEAD AS ...
UH
SOMETHING DEADER THAN SERPINE BECAUSE I HAVE COME TO HARASS DEREK
ahem, I mean ask him questions. BUT FIRST I MUST RETRIEVE MY TEA.
at least im not dead... not really, anyway.
Hey people.
NIX IS BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!! :)
I saw.
Though I didn't see. Because there are no shenanigans allowed at see-saw inspection.
Hellow wurld.
Wurld isn't here at the moment. Leave a message and he'll hunt you down until you're dead in the most messy and painful way possible. He doesn't like a cluttered message box.
its alright, wurld and i know each other pretty welll, at this point.
AAAAAAAAAAAAND . . .
SPARKY'S BACK IN FOUR DAYS!!!!!!! :)
You people-who-are-FAAAAAIRLY-new,-too-new-to-know-Sparky-anyways, might not fully appreciate how much Sparky is - WAS:( - a part of Blogland. I'm not sure I do.
No, I do. I do. I do keep forgettibg though . . .
Blogland without Sparky isn't Blogland. And she's been gone SO LONG . . . Nix was only disappeared a week!
AND HE'S BACK NOW:)
But . . .
NO WORD FROM MIST:(
Blogland isn't the same without him either . . .
NIX AND SPARKY ARE BACK, OR ALMOST, SO WHERE'S MIST???
If he were here as well Blogland would be complete! :)
*laughs*
Well, at least you're happy.
YES, I AM.
Wait - I'M HAPPY???
I'M HAPPY!!!!
Am I?
I AM!!!!!
Okay, stop repeating my questions wth capitals and exclamation marks, it's getting annoying now.
Did any of you Engliminions see the Olympic torch? It was coming near where I live today and I saw it.
I have my tea.
I have my... I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE PROBABLY.
Okay. Questions, DEREK I HAVE QUESTIONS. I am also in an odd mood so you've been warned.
#1 DEREK LANDY MY GOOD SIR. You know that massive drawing I gave you, at Bromley? IT WAS RATHER MASSIVE. Do you still have it? YOU BETTER DO.
#2 Have you ever seen an American proof copy?
#3 Loki, as a character. What do you think of him?
#4 IS TANITH IN KOTW BECAUSE I WILL CRY IF SHE ISN'T
#5 GET CHO BUTT ON BEBO. It's not a question, IT IS A DEMAND. Pretty please if you can c:
#6 How do you have your tea? I have loads of milk and two and a bit sugars (JUST WARNING YOU FOR WHEN YOU FINALLY FIND ME HIDING IN YOUR MICROWAVE)
#7 What's the most bizarre thing you've ever been given at a signing?
#8 Are you actually married to my mum AND Olivia? My mum never gives me a straight answer. *shakes head sadly*
#9 ASHLEY GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. But also tore the acl ligament in her leg at the graduation party, and has to have surgery followed by the best part of a year's recovery. May I have a massive get well as-fast-as-you-can-so-becky-can-piggy-back-you, please? c:
#10 Do you still have that photo on your phone you took at Bromley? Me and Georgina are curious c:
#11 When Skulduggery was alive, what actor would you most liken his looks to, dead or alive?
#12 Are the Ancients gonna make a come back?
OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH IF NOT I WON'T STOP.
HEY BECKY.
Good questions.
HELLO STAR.
I thank you.
You are welcome.
THERE IS WORD FROM MIST.
*remembers she has to ded*..
Welcome to what?
Hmmm....Dedications...
Hey Pink.
L - THERE IS???????????
Reingington - Becky is welcome. She thanked me.
Anyone who'll read - I copied this from City of Bones, Mortal Instrumemts series:
Magnus: "You like the party?"
Clary: "Is it in honour of anything?"
Magnus: "My cat's birthday."
Clary: "Oh." *glances around* "Where's your cat?"
Magnus: "I don't know. He ran away."
Star, yes. I've been e-mailing him..
But what is Becky welcome TO?
What are the Words of Mist, then?
Oh, blibbiddidy blah blah blah, never mind. If he's back he's back (:D) and I'll see it, and if he's not back I don't need to know anything.
He said he should be back soon, in the next couple of weeks. Nothing definite. c:
Also, whoever says turnips can have dedications...
I dedicate to turnips.
I AM WELCOME TO EAT ALL OF THE COOKIES, THAT'S WHAT. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
....
best if you don't ask
I meant at the time that Becky is welcome to thank me, but she is also welcome to lots of other things. Worshipping my marvellousness, eat purple bananas (so long as Eve doesn't find out!), and bounce around on her head screaming, to name a few.
And eating cookerie, of corourse.
I LOVE BEING PURPLE.
*is reading City of Bones and is shaking eith laughter at Simon getting turned into a rat*

Hi HOOOO!
Hi ho, hi ho,

Oh, bbs.

*attacks Becky with huggles*.
YES. Avengers. Tim Burton. Sherlock.
*doesn't like 30 Seconds To Mars, though...*.
... I think the only one I've ever seen is Tim burton. Yeah Tim Burton. I think I like that... I'm watching Doctor Who..
Why was there a period after your final asterisk, Luciana?
Because reasons.
hows is everyone feelsings today?
I type really quickly and often make minor mistakes. XD
Well, there's nothing wrong with that. I just needed to make sure you weren't a part of some weird anti-grammar cult.
No.
I just make minor errors, from time to time. Usually when stressed. It's how people can tell whether I am stressed, or not. When I am stressed I will make minor grammatical errors, I am usually OCD with it...

How are you, Luciana?
Sorry.
I'm distant.
Coursework. ¬_¬
Hello?
ello pheonix!
Nnngh...
Hi Cat... *faints at Orlando Bloom's feet in a dignified manner*
I watched Lord Of the Rings last night with one of my friends who hadn't seen it. She thought Legolas was so hot, we spent the rest of the night on google images. Looking at his gorgeous face.
His image is burned into my retina.
Four in a row, that's a record!
Five.
Really? what is it with you people and Legolas?? Honestly? he's pretty, sure... but...
well, what would i know?
Six.
only five
Sorry, I'm still here.
Aragorn is hot too...
No, six.
And Legolas is amazing. DO NOT DENY THE AMAZING!!!
right, six.
Aragorn is fine until he gets all pretty, which doesnt suit him at all.
Hello again Luciana. Legolas or Aragorn?
