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"...

Anything you'd like to be called, anything shorter than Lavender?
Well, you can call me Lav. A lot of people do. But sometimes Mist and Sparky call me Hope. :)
Fun fact:
I was the first to call you Lav. It's true.
I told you it was fun! :D
What was fun??
The fact!
Hi Eve!
i give up.
So. How are you?
I. Am. Going. To. Meet. Derek. Landy.
Oh. My. Goshness.
Bananas!
You might not have noticed, but I am still extremely angry.
I'm working on my story, but I got stuck again...
where are you, Eve?
Noooooooooooo!
Why are you angry, Eve?
when is it there?
I am everywhere.....
*coughAdelaideAustraliacough*
anyhow, why are you so amgry?
I am angry at myself, but it's not like "Oh, I hate me". I'm angry at myself for...Grrrr.
It's 11:03am
Why are you angry at yourself?
Can someone give me a letter? Just one random letter.
for grrr? come on, eve.
Never mind
V
Are you sure? i mean, if you're angry... We're here. at least i am, even if im not much.
I can't make names up. Well, I can, but they're a little weird...
Sometimes I just type random letters together and change it a little to make it sound better.
For V I came up with... Veranda... although, spell check says it's an actual word... or name, whatever.
Nah. I would have to explain a lot, and....yeah. I'm angry at myself because I'm too nice. I know that's supposed to be a good thing, but sometimes you just have to be horrible. And in those situations, I am WAY. TOO. NICE.
hi lavender, cat, and Eve
Hello Vena Coil.
I like your name... where did you come up with it?
Eve?
Hahahahahaha. A veranda is the shelter I have at the back of my house. It's basically more roof. :D
Hi Vena!
Hi Vena.
You know, that's same with me, Eve. Sometimes, I'm too nice.
Lavender, verandars are little balconey things I think
Eve, never be angry at yourself for being too nice. I have been angry at myself for more things than you've heard of, and ive had reason to.
But Eve, you shouldnt be angry at yourself for being too nice. we need more people like you, even if i could never be one, and i could never want to be one.
*bursts out laughing*
Really? See what I mean? I can't even make up a name. If I try to, it's already a word. :P
But it's not like that, Cat, I actually....yeah, this is what I mean by having to explain a lot.
Oh, my name is from the fact that I like snakes
Hehehehehe
I wonder if there's a person called Veranda.... :P
Eve, u should never be angry at your self for being to nice! Nevernevernevernevernevernevernever
What about.... Meloffie?
i mean, that's not quite what i mean, but clearly, i dont really, have a way with words...
going to go bury myself in a couch.
LOL my cozzies kids are called: Rider, Roman, Noah and Benjiman
Okay so the other names I've tried coming up with are:
Jarmel- I think I'm going to change it a bit. Doesn't sound right...
Serena- This is my favorite so far.
Paneera- Either I'm changing this one too, or I'm not going to use it.
Horand- I think I said this one before as a suggestion...
And Ranet- I don't know...
Oooh, ooh a cool name is, Selene moon or Ariene callow
I mean...it was just so STUPID, I'm embarrassed to say that that was how I acted...ugh....
Oh well. I have plenty of time to make up for it. :)
IN a couch?
Sorry guys, gtg. I'll be back in a little while.
OR Tellida Norm
I have a friend called Serena
bye lavender. I bury myself in couches allll the time
Bye Lav!
Bye Hope.
Serenai is a cool name gtg I have to empty the dish washer, joy!
Bye Vena!
Goodbye, snake-lady. i love snakes.
I'm back yayayayayay
Oh, u like snakes as well! cool, everyone I know is afraid of them.
Snake lady huh, I could get used to that!
Back for a bit. But msd. My friend's gonna call any minute.
Anyway, hi. :)
I like explanation marks!!!
oh, hi lavender, whats your favorite animal
I'm okay with snakes. But they're not my favorite animal.
No one seems to be in a good mood to day...
how about you, Snake lady?
Im never in a good mood, although nobody cares...
I'd say a cat. But dog's coming close in second.
I have touched snakes before, at a birthday party in England, this snake man came and there
6c r were all these snakes
My friend's messaging me, seeing if I'm in a good mood before we video chat...
I guess I'm okay. Just sometimes she says things that get on my nerve...
I am in a good mood today, why are u never in a good mood cat?
I am guessing that u like cats cat?
I get annoyed with my friend sometimes, we are highly competitive
I've touched snakes too. Once at a zoo, I got to pet a yellow boa. Or was it white? Not sure. Anyway and I had a friend that had a snake as a pet. I got to hold it. It was really small though. Eats crickets.
um is anyone here?
Yes, i love cats... That's not why my name is Cat, surprisingly, although i do incorporate it into loads of stuff.
ooohohohoh sorry lavender, your friend has a snake cool! I am coming to Auzz for a holiday
who here likes cheese?
I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I'm okay.
um
I feel like I am being slightly odd
Please tell me if I am annoying u
Bye um Derek!
Sorry...
I adore cheese. i make cheese. my cat loves cheese.
where do you live, snake lady?
Not really. You're fine, Vena. Not annoying at all. Not to me at least. :)
Derek likes cheese. His favourite is cheddar. He told me.
Have u been feeding the sparrows
no, i always feel awkward, though, because no one says anything...
I live in N.Z hi Valkyrie
Hi Val! I don't think I've talked to you in a while! At least, not that I can remember... How have you been?
I love sparrows
Hi Valkyrie V!
chedder, really? cool.
I am afrain i have to go, it is past ten here, so... yeah...
Sometimes i randomly sigh *sigh* I always get strange looks when I do that
I feel like my days are mushing together. I can't remember much these days...
I'm just grand! I went to the Edmonds Arts Festival and saw my painting on display... I could hear people making good comments on it :)
already had my moment when i got first, so it'll be a while before i get another one. its someone else's turn.
wait cat where are u? its um 2 ish in the afternoon here
Bye Cat!
I sigh a lot. Either that, or I breathe deeply...
Oh, u do art Valkyrie
i sigh too- but is it really sighing? i just feel like i havent been really breathing quite and i need to... *sigh*
See? words hate me.
I have never been the biggest fan of art, but my friend is very good at it
Um, cat where are u?
Cool Val! :)
Cat lives in America. Connecticut I think.
I don't do art very much, seeing as how I cant be in art class because of orchestra - I even had a concert yesterday - but I had a few canvasses from Christmas and did an awesome painting.

Hmmm... I wonder if it's a bad thing that my 10 year old sister is reading Mortal Coil...
im reading PWF to my 9yr old sister
i think shes enjoying it
and i think it is a bad thing that a 10 yr old-
wait, i read Mortal Coil when i was 10 which was last year so i think its ok
but im me and im different
ahh....
i actually have no idea where this is going
I read it when I was eleven... But I don't know she probably doesn't need to read about creeper vampires...
im 11 now
i love violence now which is quite unusual for an 11 yr old girl
but back to the previous comment
im me
I loved violence once I read Skulduggery, but before that... *shudders* I was the girliest person in the world... Now I just wear all black all the time and hurt people.
same here
but blood red you have to agree is an awesome colour
i never was girlie
when i was in kindy i wore board shorts
i was cool
all the other girls wore dresses with flowers and happy places
i was NEVER one of them
thank the Golden God
Oh my god, I started watching Doctor Who on netflix on another tab on the computer, and I came to check this page while it was loading, and then suddenly I heard "SILENCE WILL FALL" and it scared me half to death...
