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"...

Would you know any... books, or something, that is good at deciphering recurring dreams? i love deciphering other peoples, but doing mine is a chore and it never works.
by helena.
Bye Hel!!
I should have brought my notebook so I could write. I javent written any of Crescent in ages. I was having a little fun with By Force/Guardian.
i know none
You can google sites that tell you about your dreams
normally i wouldn't do that kind of thing... but apparently 'true wisdom is entertaining an idea without fully beleiving it. so i dont fully believe it but i am kind of gettting disturbed and i dont know what to do now.
What was your dream about, Cat?
YOu do not want to hear me whinging about my dream.
No one else has anything better to say :)
Begin
WEIRD DREAMS ARE EXCITING. Cx
My dream began in a hospital as well. i hate hospitals, and i didnt know why i was there.
i walked out, and then this little bit of smoke fluttered away from me, and i started runnning way from it. ( i cant run in real life, but... this was a dream. just a dream.)
i looked back- i know, you should never look back, but i did.
it was... indescribable- but i knew it was me.
it began chasing me down a rocky slope, and i stumbled. it caught up with me, shoving me into a hole, only about a metre in diameter... i fell for so long...
and then i reached the bottom, and the thing was there.somehow, it pushed me into a hole in the solid rock, this little tomb much smaller than the tunnel i fell down.
he stabbed upward at my heels, so i couldn't walk, and pins in my pupils so i couldnt see.
i dont quite know how i know what he was doing, but he began to fill the tunnel.
Hello.
i couldnt see, but i could feel... spiders, insects, i dont even know what crawling in my hair, over my eyes, on my neck, drawn by blood.
somehow i got my arms up to my chest and began to scratch, with my fingernails, at the solid rock.
they chipped and peeled off- i could feel blood on my fingers, on the wall. i kept scratching, putlling skin and muscle away from my fingertips untill they were bone.
then i was me on the surface, listening to me underneath, screaming, kicking.
i felt like i should have felt freedom... but i still felt like i was down in the hole.
and then i was, just in time for me to wake up.
fr-eeeee-ky
I have to go now!!! Byeeee! *hugs*
Hellow all.
by Lynxia
HELLO.
BYE, LYNX! *hugs*.
hello Phoenix!
Bye Lynxia...
bye Lynxia!
hi Cat and L!
Hey Miss Cain!
Hello ms cain.
Eve, i think the oddest thing was...
even though i was digging, i swear to any god you choose that that space was getting smaller.
I don't remember my dream...
Dreams are just things your subconscious comes up with to process what you learned the day before.
So don't be scared.
Hmmmm..... Maybe you're beating yourself up for something, or trying to be someone you're not
not scared, but the same dream every night for over a week.
what is it processing that's taking so long?
Or you're trying to accomplish something, but things aren't working your way
Hi Eve! Good to see you. Oh, Godess... I'm going to need to make a shopping list again.
brb
ive nearly finished Starters
ive got to stop reading so fast
Hi Mith!!
Cat, Eve, Miss. Cain, Luciana Scath. Is that it?
kay Cat
And bye Lynxia!!!!!
i think so Phoenix
Okay. Not THAT big of a shopping list...
Sup Mith?
Sleepy. Can you call me Birdy? That's what everyone else calls me...
Okay, birdy!
You realise that every time you leave, I'm going to say "Bye bye birdy", right? :P
Luciana! On your profile pic... Is that L?!
Ok...
My friend Jessica came up with it. Luciana, I think you met her.
YES. L and Light. <3
I ship it so hard.

Hi Loki!
brb
you missed so much.
see you later
Sorry, I was on the phone...
I give in...
Bye Cat!
What do you mean, Luce?
I give in...
I don't even want to try anymore when when I actually try to help someone it gets thrown back in my face...When I express my worry for someone it's taken as betrayal...
Hi
Yeah, it's hard when you're trying to make someone feel better, coz everyone reacts differently to different things
Hi P!nk!
hi Pink!
CAIN THAT WAS YOU ON DA YGVUJSFG. I am so jelly it's unreal.
And I know how that goes! I got totally ignored when I tried to help a friend. Fell out. She wouldn't accept MY apology, she then bitched behind my back, which then lead me to find out another person I got along with was a moron.
People are strange.
Hey Eve, Luciana, anyone else who may be on.
How are you all?
Hi Becky, Miss.
people ARE strange Becky
I'm pretty goose :)
MISS BECKY, MISS BE NOT BAD. Had an utterly unproductive day which is annoying but okay otherwise, yourself?

and i only read Deathnote on Friday
Bye, Eve.
Okay, Becky..
bye Eve!
kay Becky
and the floating apples
Bye Eve...
I've watched Death Note, I have it on DVD. It's pretty good.
Bye Finbar's Lost Rock!
I'm disappointed that they don't feature Loki's daughter in Avengers... That would have been amazing.
I've read most of Death Note.
I just wish I had a Death Note, right now...
theres a Deathnote dvd??
ive only read the comic story one
my friend is giving me part 2 on Monday
Sleipnir?
Sleipnir was in Thor, very briefly. Odin came to save Thor's butt on jotunheim riding her x3
The manga, Cain..
No, Hel. She's a cool monster...
yes, L
the manga
Msd
Yup!
And pffft. I could do with one too.
Did I tell you my brother got jumped on by seven chavs, Luciana? At the Jubilee party. We live next door to the one that started it.
Granted, the chavs came out worse because the didn't know my brothers, Adam (toured in Iraq) and Daniel (ex security guard) were there.
Heheh I wonder if they've recovered from their pasting yet...
okay Eve!
when did you come back??
Hello, again, Eve. And okay..
You know, Derek should have a line in the books about using your knees rather than feet. Adam messed his foot up kicking a chav that went at him...
Chavs? Pardon my ignorance, I'm American...
i agree Becky
except, like Phoenix, chavs??
Ahem. Would someone enlighten an ignorant American?
Um. They don't work, they think they own the streets, they walk around in pyjamas, do drugs, drink alcohol, attack people that have never done anything to them.
And talk weird because they have such primitive brains.
And walk like they have a rug under each arm.
They're basically like gangsters only not as dignified.
i wikied it
made no sense cuz its in wiki language
ahhhh
makes sense now
Ah. Ok.
When we're gangsters dignified?
Once you see a chav, you realise that gangsters actually have some dignity.
Some.
hey Flame!
