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"...

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4863 Newer› Newest»that happened to me on a silent game
it never has sound and then it said something and it scared me that i was shaking for a whie after
*while
I was one of the girly ones in the flowery dresses. I am so disappointed with the way I spent most of my life... I'm so cool now.
*tries to walk off with style* *trips and falls*
people hate me at school cuz im so cool
i think anyway
*shrugs*
people ALSO think im gothic
but i dont care because even i think im gothic
man, SP and Derek have changed my life
I find it annoying when people call me goth... I'm not goth, I'm just Valkyrie Cain.
that is true
I've got at least 5 Valkyrie coats... one for each type of weather, from freezing cold to 80 degrees outside... And I can use the same one for both.
i wish i had Valkyrie coats...
im going to find one for book week
alrightio
im off to Westbooks then to dancing then i will be back
bye bye
I wear one everyday and everyone thinks I'm wearing a trench coat but it's a VALKYRIE coat.
Bye bye
I hope by "I love violence" you don't mean "I love hurting people and watching people get hurt" :/
Well, not hurting people severely...
Mm...
Does biting, clawing, and stabbing with forks count as severely hurting someone?
It didn't even start yet... But it is now! I really hope they don't have commercials while the guy's walking...
*squeals*
The suspense!!!
Fish fingers and custard
I....well, the stabbing with forks bit....I flinched when Hagrud did that to Professor Flitwick O_O
I do that on a regular basis
*realises something* I have a really really short attention span.
Shame on you! Don't be a Hagrid!
I do that because it teaches people not to mess with me again. *remembers stabbing Trey in the back of the neck and leaving four little scars*
Yeah, I just keep my nails sharp unless I'm attacked or something. I use them on my little brother too....
I do that to my friends Zoe, Miranda, and Emily...
Ugh... I feel sick now...
I don't know.
*relises a relieved breath*
He made it!!! Oh my gosh. That was the scariest thing I saw someone do. Oh wow. Phew.
I know, I just like saying Why. Rhymes with...uh.....
Die?
Spy
Lie and Lye
*Releases
cry
sly
shy, sky, my, fly
Words that rhyme with Why
Don't run away, we just want to play!
Possibly one of the scariest things in the universe...
What was that from?
Doctor Who. Night Terrors. The creepy doll things.
Ah
Okay, now I'm fully back. Hi. :)
Well, since the comments are going slow at the mo, I'll be working on my story more. So I'll be distant too.
Yeah, I'm reading a book
Hello, guys.
*here, but may be distant, because of reasons*.
Hi L. :)
Hello, Lav.
Gtg
Be back soon
Bye!
Bye, Eve.
Bye Eve!
Hmm, at this rate, I might be able to post before I go to bed.

hello Finnick!
hii :)
Hi Finnick! You guys are lucky. Derek's coming to visit all the other countries but America.
You know, I'm beginning to think HarperCollins doesn't like us. We don't even have the rest of the series here!
WHY??? WHY NOT BEAR HERE??? WE ALWAYS GET IGNORED! THE WEATHER FORCAST IGNORE US! THERE ARE WEATHER SYMBOLS TO THE SIDE OF US AND ABOVE US AND BELOW US, AND JUST THIS GAP WHERE WE ARE!
Still - I have extended family in Liverpool so maybe I could go there . . .
Hi people! Books changing your life can sometimes be a BAD thing - after reading Fear I know sometimes want to rip my wrist apart and it scares me . . . *is staring intently at wrist* Oh, God, distract me. *smiles* Oh. Phew. I stopped staring to type and I'm fine now.
hmmm
this thing likes to stuff up on me
hi Star!!
did you see what i got today on my blog??
Hi Star!
That IS freaky...
Guess what? I think I'll be able to get my next chapter out soon! And it'll be the full chapter, not a part. :)
i dont know what i'd do if i found out i was away and couldnt go!
any one here enter that short story competition?
the Sadistica Tortura one??
cuz i entered that one
*says eagerly* Would you like a detaiked description of the part in Fear that freaked me out enough to make me want to tear my wrist apart? I've thought out my description over and over in my head, and when I told it to my friend she proclaimed it 'horrible' and later on went and looked Gone up on the internet to see if this person died or not.
yeah that one. I entered that but i know i have no chance
DONT TELL STAR!!!!!
IVE ONLY READ GONE!!!!!!!
No Cain, I woke up, went on blogger, and read old comments for almost an hour. *goes to it now*
YAY, Lavender!
I couldn't, Finnick.
I didn't. :( Didn't have time.
Um, I'm not sure I want to know, Star...

Hi Eve. :)

i know what you mean Finnick
i tried to hold myself back because i knew i would finish it WAY too quickly
bye Finnick!
I've gotten to 68...
I saw, and I'm sooooo jealous! Did you just ask them for it?
Bye, Finnick.
Bye Finnick!
yeah Eve
and they said yeah
I'm going to need a lot of money for all these books....
I should be able to get more than eight of them for under £10, though..
Bye Finnick! have fun at karate!
Commented!
I wonder what the equivalent of pounds(I only have the symbol on my ipod, not computer...) is in dollars.
$1.5 for every £1. I think...
1.556178
That's the exchange rate.
Dinner bye!
interesting.....
*yawns when theyre back is turned*
Bye, Eve.
bye Eve!
Oh. Okay. That's not that different. Compared to Korean Won or Japanese Yen.
Bye Eve!
I can't wait to go to East-Asia in a few years. It looks so pretty. :3
I'm going in a matter of DAYS. That's making me SO nervous!
Fours Finnick! Hi Eve!
:( Okay, my Fear snatched shall remain undescribed . . . They're still one of my fav book series - it'd not their fault I have an overative imagination. They did put a warning about violence and disturbing scenes or whatever on the,back. Plus, THEY ARE BRILLIAN:)
lucky
ive never been
*snatchet, not SNATCHED.
Hope you have fun Lavender!
I've only been to the country in Korea. Not the big cities like Seoul or anything. It's really pretty. :)
I've lived near the Osaka/Kobe area in Japan. Actually, on Rokko Mountain. Look up Rokko-san Hotel on google maps and that's the nearest it gets to where I stayed.
Bbs, going to have breakfast. *bounces out*
*bounces too far and hits the ceiling* OW! HOW DARE THAT CEILING BE IN THE WAY? *stomps out, glaring.
Osaka! Oh my god! I'd LOVE to go there! I'm so jealous of you, haha.
I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN! Cx
I'd LOVE to go to Seoul one day..
have a nice brekkie Star
It's really pretty in the spring/summer. In the spring, you get to see the cherry blossoms in bloom. They look really pretty. And the Japanese have a festival to celebrate it.
So I haven't been to the big cities. Only country sides. :)
Bye Star!
I'm just going to Korea now, though. Maybe I'll visit Japan again, but if I'm only staying for the summer(which I'm planning) then I won't.
Bye, Star.
I need my parents to get up.
Or at least my dad.
So I can convince him/them to let me buy more books.
Preferably the eight books I have seen..
im so hungry....
*remembers Zelda-thingy*.
I'm so hungry I could eat an octorock.
*smirks*.
I ALWAYS get distracted when I go and have breakfast . . .
Back!
Hello again, Star.
WB Star! :)
WB Star
how i envy you that you just had food
All ths books I really want aren't published yet . . .
i know Star
youre right
Why, Cain?
. . . I'm calling you Miss from now on, okay? There's a character in Gone called Caine.
Oh, the Why was for the food thing btw.
I'm right? Are you sure I'm not left?
im hungry
i envy those who have eaten cuz im hungry
and i know about Caine
are you right or left then??
Oi. Finding dragon references is hard... So. Many. Types...
Well, I'm right handed, but I think, THINK, I'm left footed. I mean, I kick a football with my right foot but I used to start off biking with my left (then I got told I had to do it with my right coz that's the side the pavement's on), and I always scottered on my left.
Brb.
Okay, Star.
Has anyone heard from Nix, of late?
okay Star
L, Nix has disappeared
That's what I thought..
He's not replying to anyone's e-mails and hasn't turned up in blogland..
He hasn't been on for three days now...
Eve and I agreed we'd start worrying if we don't hear from him in a week...
I'm still worried though. He could have been banned or his internet went out, but still... I'm worried...
I'm worried, myself...
Mist hasn't heard a thing from him, neither has Lynx. He just, kind of, disappeared and no-one's heard anything from him...
If anyone hears anything from Nix, PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE let me know!
Oooooooooh now I get it
Hi Vena!
hello eve
Hello, Vena.
I have friends its a mirical
I will, if I hear from him.
Everyone's noticing his disappearance. He's not even answering emails... Eve says we're worrying a little too much. That it's only been a few days. Still wouldn't we have heard from him? Even if he was banned or something, he'd have found a way to tell us, wouldn't he?
Gah! I'm so worried!
I am watching the rugby, N.Z vs Ireland goooo all blacks!
I hope that nix is ok, maybe he went away or something
Hi Eve. Hi Vena.
*tries to smile, but fails*
I need to do something to get my mind off this...
*goes to continue typing my story*
be back soonishly
Okay, Vena.
yayayyayayayaya all blacks whoo
He would've gotten in contact with one of us, somehow...He knows I am pretty much always here so he could've e-mailed me.
He's not even blogged on any of the blogs or commented...
I tend to worry anyway, but now I am seriously worried...It's Nix. He's never usually like this, is he? *frowns*....I hope I hear from him soon..
hi Vena!
Nix has disappeared... very worriying
How is everyone?
He says he's always on at least some point in the day.
I agree, L. He would have contacted someone...
*is actually on the verge of crying*
I hope he's okay...
Luciana, calm down, i am sure that nix will be fine, u need to take your mind of it
im good Vena
Lav, like i said to luciana I am sure that he is fine, u guys really need to relax! not to say that I am not worried but this won't help
Well, I've asked everyone to keep an eye out. If I hear anything you'll be second to know! Second because I already promised Mist I'd let him know if I hear anything. There's not much more we can do...Hmm...I'll be here as and when I can and I'll always have my e-mails open, so if anyone hears anything or if he e-mails me I will know straight away.
that's good Miss Cain. do u like snakes
*starts pacing back and forth*
Nix, where would he disappear to??
snakes are cool
I'm in fits of giggles...This is not good...
GOD DAMN NYAN CAT.
*laughs even more*.
wait, so whens the last time anyone heard from nix? I am sure that he would be flatterd that everyone cares so much
Wednesday night..
...
I know, Vena. But now that I've thought about it, it's hard to shake off... Even if I get my mind off the worrying, I'll just remember again. And worry more.
I'll try to calm down though.
lol, wait if u are on youtube watch shingo mama oha rock!
i was with Eve and on i think Wednesday
i think....
Yeah, it's been three days already since I last heard from him.
I am doing it in class for Japanese and its crack up, i think that u need a laugh
That was Wednesday.
I wonder if Derek is missing him?
he must be
I think that u guys need a laugh, sooo I will think of something funny
on YouTube theres a video called Hot Problems Reaction
sooooo funny
Nix was hoping for Derek to come when he was on...
Gah, can we change the subject please? This is making me more worried.
What's that about?
I last talked to him last week...
Also, I AM REALLY HYPER AND I BLAME MIST.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA5DsLzSVrk

Thing is, I can't watch videos. Not yet. I'm listening to a recording of something important.
Hi Helena.
Jesus, chill out
Unless he's publicly pronounced dead, it's fine

*is in fits of giggles*.
i agree with Eve
I dedicate this page to Nix, where ever he is. And all sparrows and all snakes

*is now pacing back and forth*
Gah, Eve. You made it worse!

*is trying to calm down*
Nice ded, Vena.
*manages to smile a little*
Great dedication, Vena! *smiles*.
