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"...

And I have to finish drawing the sceptre of the ancients, and I have to draw a fruit!! By tomorrow!!!!! And ive hot other homework! And I'm gone for two hours!
*got
Oh well. I'll just be losing sleep. No biggie. I'll make up for it on the weekend.
I want to win!!!!!!
It's going to be announced tomorrow!!!
Well, not annouced. But we'll find out if we won
*remebers that I wasnt fully reading comments I replied to this morning*
*reads them*
Ahahahahaha! Yes, Val, tell Lizzy that the blood she donates is going to a good cause.
*is making explosive blood sausages*
Yup! Can't wait!
I'LL BE DISTANT.
... Is it tomorrow yet?
K fire
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow, you're only a day away
My Di Fabulous friend was singing this over and over...I don't even think I've heard the song before
The only bad thing about tomorrow is I have a test
The only bad thing about tomorrow is I have homework due, there's going to be maths, and it's a day closer to my horrible, gruesome end
But the MATHS...
the only bad thing starting from today is that i cannot bourrow any other books from the library except about maths.
My library is finally catching up on Skulduggery Pleasant
My library has two Skulduggery books
my library only got one SP book. mortal coil.
Mine just got 5 or the, they don't have Playing With Fire. And maybe TEOTW, though I'm pretty sure they've got it tucked away somewhere
Breaking Dawn p2!! :D
It looks like there's actually going to be fighting instead of...ahem....debate....
it's out? the movie i mean.
The stupid trailer is out for the stupid movie
I'm just stating my opinion, which is followed by almost every guy and almost every adult.
Almost every adult? Not really
Eve, have you seen reviews? 9 out of 10 hate it
Or in some places, 8 out of 10
I'm not talking about the critics
I'm talking about the adults in my family and neighbourhood
Except for the guys, of course
Adults in my family and neighbourhood hate it
Well, I know HEAPS who love it, so don't go saying almost everyone hates it
I think I'm seeing Snow White and the Huntsman soon :D
You seeing that, Fire?
i want to but i dont know
Well, I'm just saying a know about three people out of a couple of hundred who like it. The rest hate it
It looks good. I'm not sure if I'll like it more than Red Riding Hood though
i never saw Red Riding Hood. is it good?
Yeah, I really liked it
Gtg
Bye!
Bye Eve!
bye Eve!
Nix! NIX! NIX!!!

Hi Miss Cain!
so, whats the topic this time??
*reads previous messages*
ahhh....
um... what is the topic?
I am back! After a long and tedious laptop malfunction, I am back!
Hello Miss Cain, Wait, did anyone notice I was gone?
I'm so glad that you like the rest of Chapter 4 guys. It took a lot of hair pulling and struggling but I got there lol
And I'm proud that I did the necromancy part kinda proud.
i doubt it Vena...
My laptop is very urm strange so ( if you care) if suddenly I am gone, have no fear.
k Vena
Hi Emerald. Thanks Miss Cain. * sits down next to tree and starts sobbing, no body wants meeeeeeeeee*
Miss Cain! Emerald! By the way Emerald I've wanted to tell you for a long time that your name is great. Miss Cain, a question, why did you choose Miss Cain?
*Sob* What are *sob sob* strawberry * sob, sob wail* extra chewies?** sob, sob, sob!*
"We live in cynical times, Miss Cain."
Spoken by:Skudluggery Pleasant
Book: Death Bringer
Ah thanks very much Helena, it was my one moment of divine inspiration that I will never have again.
How did *final sob* you pick your name Helena? * final sob again*
Oh I'm sure you will. Write, correct? You're inspiring certainly to me at least. Nix, was that to me?
Emerald Melody, if you were in dc who, you name may be Green song, or gemstone song
Miss Cain
well, i wanted something related with Valkyrie Cain but Valkyrie Cain is Valkyrie Cain
so i did Miss Cain
My (dead) nana's name was Helen and dad's alwayssaying how much I look like her (when she was younger). It makes him sad I think. Ember because I'm like fire and I like fire. And Sky because I love the sky, I also want to be an astrophysicist.
No it would be Song green or Gemstone green
Well if you want to follow my ever lasting writing stuggles Helena go to dublindaes.blogspot.ie lol
And wait until you see me in my struggling moods Helena lol it's not a pretty sight.
That's cool Helena, I picked my name because I like snakes
UM Emerald, do you ever watch Dc who and how did you pick your name Nix?
Doctor Who is cool
Oh, gtg c u guys!
Someone told me Nixion meant nothing, which pretty much sums up how I feel about myself, and Strange is because I'm strange.
Bye
Bye Vena!
I have never been drawn into the world of Dr.Who unfortunately, I am trying to get my novel jump started cause 4 chapters are just not enough for me.
That's sad Nix, that's sad
Oh, well it is pretty cool and I hear that torch wood is cool as well
BYE GUYS C YA"LL LATER MEANING TOMORROW IF HOCKEY PRACTISE IS CANCELED!
It would be Song Crystal/Shiny Vena, that's only in Gama forest though.
Bye Vena!
