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"...

I love the name Emily but I don't think it would go with you, Bye!
hello!!
Nix, the earthquake, are you alright?
what was it like??
Hi Miss Cain!
Well, you were here when I mentioned it yesterday, and I really have nothing more to say...
Hey Missy.
oh yeah
but today they make a big deal about it
apparently it was 5.3 on the richter scale
5.5
ok then, 5.5
they said 5.3 on the radio and it is now raining
bucketing
really hard
hi Miss Cain!
It isn't raining
gtg. studying.......
If you meant for you, sorry, it wasn't very clear what you said
Bye Fire!
bye Fire!
yes, it is raining here
its stopped now but it WILL come back
i know that
Right do you know what? Someone give me a match, it's time to set this puppy on fire!!!!!!!!
and im never clear when i talk/type whatever you call it
yep, i knew it
its starting to rain again
hi
hi Viv!!
Hi Vivstar!
It's not raining where I am
Not here either Viv, it's dark though.
well, im on the other side of Aus
so the weather is a bit different
and the rain has stopped again
Hel are you going to do chapter 2 yet??
oooohh, thunder now over here
storms coming
Hi helena
i get off topic so easily.....
but then i get back on topic and annoy myself like im doing now
shut. up. me.
Can you all do me a favor?
When you hear about necromancers, what do you think? Or how do you see them?
Hey Viv. Not yet Miss, soon though, soon. Farewell all, I must make like the wind and whoosh.
Necromancers...
shadows, Lord Vile, Wreath, Melancholia
thats what i think of anyway
i think they like the colour black
*nods*
bye Hel!
I see solomon wreath because he has a picture. So does melocholia. Craven is like one of those people who boast but get d- in thier grades. Tenebrae is like someone you don't has evil potential, just looks totally normal
they like shadows!!!
and are scared of death
we all know that
*hi-fives her other hand*
wait, im basically clapping now
Sorry, gotta go
Bye!
umm
am i first
first
bye nix
has anyone tried the new sub from subway??
its good
what's in it
are you going to dedicate Viv??
what do you mean
just joking. I dedicate this page to the awsomeness of shops like subway and zambrero.
its a moroccan lamb
not bad. Probabaly won't get it because I just get a sub with heaps of spicy stuff.
I love Kimbra so much, her album is totally amazeballs!!
Sorry lol I'm listening to Settle Down and I remembered why I love this woman as an artist.
errr is any body here
im here
having fun on DeviantArt
well, not really
Hi. I seem to have a problem so I have to say bye

the sky looks like a dark blue here...
its like the world has become dark blue
not dark dark, but dark
i cant explain colours....

Nixion Strange you are grounded.. BY ME!

Aired?
What does that mean?
The oposite of grounded. Completly free
i cant draw with the computer on DeviantArt
stupid computer....
Hi Phoenix and Nix!
NO YOU IS GROUNDED,
*drags him to his imaginary room*
*turns into smoke*
Me is being aired
*flys out of room, still smoke*
*watches with interest*
now, what are you going to do NOW Flame??
*smirks*
too many 'now'
Nix! When they told you not to smoke, they also meant "DON'T BE SMOKE"
they meant that as well??
Oh, I am so using this power in something...
*traps nixion in a jar*
Grounded.
*jar is an airtight jar*
Hehe.
The Phantom of the dreams!
Soon, they’re saying goodbye and I’m leaving, walking out through the door. I pause just on the patio to look around the small cul de sac. It is dark here, only illuminated by four street lamps high above out heads, looming over us like giants. Six houses line the streets, each with a different colour door. I was once told that was significant, but I can’t remember why. I turn to face my hosts for the evening, Jake and Slyvia. They work down at the station as officers. I’m a detective so they don’t really see much of me anymore. Slyvia is beautiful. Long strands of golden blonde hair drift softly over her gossamer pale face. She is delicate, but strong. That’s what I like about her. Jake on the other hand is muscular. He is definitely not afraid to get his hands dirty. They each, in turn hug me and say good bye. “We’ll see you Monday Rachel.” They both say then, turning and closing the door.
I start walking from the house estate. It isn’t very big, just six houses. As I reach the main road which is silent and peaceful compared to just hours ago, I cross. I’m walking up to another estate, which is a short cut to my house. It’s a fifteen minute walk.
*turns back into human, smashing jar, then turns back into smoke*
Sorry 'bout that
You're writing is just too darn good Flame
good story Flame
I know Nixion. I know.
*traps nixion in an Airtight PLASTIC jar*
hehe.
Hmm... I'm pretty sure the wait of a human expanding through would break plastic. Although it would really hurt
So don't try it at home, Kids.
*weight
*raises eyebrow*
although im under the age of 13 doesn't mean im a kid
just so thats clear
Yeah yeah, I can't spell
*turns back into human, and breaks through plastic*
Ahhhhh... that did hurt
*turns into smoke and flies away*
Derek if you read this could you answer these questons please
1)What is your favourite colour and why?

Thank youu, much appreciated
hello Lauren!
Oh, btw, ALL my writing is going on hold so i can focus on the destiny heirs and the origin. I'm entering nanowrimo in november and want to get a bit of a head start.
I'll probably continue with one other fanfic aswell.
And then they'll be a few stories along the way.. i suppose.
Actually, Miss, that DOES make you a kid. I'm a kid too! Snap!
*traps nixion in an airtight RUBBER jar*
HEHE.
well, we are AWESOME kids
i hate being called that
kids, i hate being called that
All the other kids...
NO!
Anywho, about the jar? I'll ponder over that. Considering the stretch in rubber, that would really really hurt...
that would hurt especially when it retracts back
Am, i didn't mean that you WERE a kid. I was just referring to it would hurt, and thats what chat show hosts do..
*grimaces*
Yeah, okay, this is bad... I'm jarred
haha.
i outsmarted nixion. *chants*
*looks at Nix in the jar*
is it comfy??
G'day Cain
you Aussie Lauren??
No one outsmarts me
*turns microscopic and goes around the rubber molucules*
Hi Lauren!
Yeah I am ozzie
Hey Nixion
*puts plastic around the rubber*
*stands in the same spot cuz she doesnt want to squash Nix*
Hey Lauren.
cool Lauren
YAY!
another Aussiminions!!
*stares at Nixion in a jar*
*goes around plastic moluclues*
*puts cement around the plastic*
Pure solid.
You can't get through.
Aussie!
And if the jar is rubber, you can't realyl see me. And I'm microscopic, so you definatly can't see me
Oh yeah, I'm out of the jar. Yeah!
Hey Flame
Yay I am not the only Aussiminion
Ahaha out of the jar hay?
Nix, can you grow back up cuz if i move from this spot, im pretty sure i'll squash you
Uh, Flame. Solid still hase molucules. I should know, they spent the last three years drillign it in my head. They're grouped together more, but still able to get through
*goes through, and turns invisible*
Ha, but i put cement around it!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Lauren!
Hahahahahaha! Nix is tiny! *attempts to crush him*
*oh, and back to normal size*
*still invisible*
Nix, can you please stop being minute cuz im CERTAIN i will step on you
I went back to normal size, I'm just invisible*
Damn
*attempts to crush nix with giant lawnmower*
