Ireland/UK Tour

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"...

Luciana said...

*shakes head and laughs*. Oh, Becky.

Becky Allaker said...

No seriously my dog eats anything but mints.

He hates mints.

But he used to eat all my socks.

He ate a dish cloth a couple of weeks ago.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

a dish cloth??

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*raises eyebrow*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

my elbow is itchy

*starts to scratch it*

Becky Allaker said...

Yup.

Had to pay £50 just to get him to sick it up because he has bad guts.

Luciana said...

My cats eat mints!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ew

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

dont the Ameriminions come on about now??

Luciana said...

I guess, losing friends is good. It shows you who your true friends are and saves your from getting hurt even more...Even if it feels like you're losing a part of you...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

true L

Flame Phoenix said...

G2G.

Luciana said...

Bye, Flame.

Luciana said...

The pain in my chest seems to have disappeared along with my care for him... /:

Becky Allaker said...

That it does.
Have you heard My Kind of Love by Emeli Sande? It's really beautiful :)

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Flame!

Becky Allaker said...

Pffft, I lost a friend who dropped me like a bag of shit for someone she liked better. I was torn up for MONTHS about that little rat. I didn't make the same mistake twice, though.

Luciana said...

He's been there for me for so long...Well, it feels like forever...But it's not even been a year...
All of a sudden, when they tell you goodbye you realise they're worth shit. They can fuck off!

I've got you guys, after all! <3 *hugs everyone*.

Becky Allaker said...

Some friends you can do without :)

Becky Allaker said...

*LE HUGS*
I have you guys here and I have Ashley and that's honestly all I could ever wish for.

THANKS TO DEREK *gross sobbing*

Becky Allaker said...

I literally owe Derek everything.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*hugs L back*

yeah, ive got ALL of you guys

you too Derek

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i wanna thank my friends Grace, Nic, Seb, Molly, Anda, Iona, Tom and others for accepting me for who i am

you guys are the best

Becky Allaker said...

I was then about to say that... Am I the only one that actually views Derek as a friend?
I know it sounds weird but I do...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i feel too cheesy now

Luciana said...

Even if they've saved your life more times than you can count. :)

Becky Allaker said...

That's what I love about this fandom, Cain. We all embrace each other c:

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i havent met him yet but when i do, he will be considered a friend

If there was like a fandom war, and Sentiment WAS a chemical defect found in the losing side, then our fandom would be the first to go down because we are so sentimental it's crazy.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

U is obviously like you.

MGG is similar to mug.

Star Inkbright said...

UK and Ireland are behind Aus. America's behind UK and Ireland.

Australia > UK & Ireland > America.

Right???

Luciana said...

Robyn...? As in...?

Star Inkbright said...

Robyn? No. I've heard of Robin Hood from the legend, Robin Snowscar from the blog, and Robyn from the Stardust books though. The Stardust books are for a younger age range so I wouldn't recomend them to people here but when I was younger I really enjoyed them.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

-Star
i think thats right
*rechecks it*
yep, its right

-L
Robyn the singer

"Are we stealing this boat?"
" 'Stealing' is such an ugly word," he mused.
"What do you want to call it?"
"An extreme case of window-shopping."

Going on my trip now, bye!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Val!!

Star Inkbright said...

I loved the part in City of Lost Souls where Simon uses incredibly valuable stolen magic rings to ask Clary if Azazel is that cat from the Smurf. ' "You're really considoring this? Summoning a demon?"
"Well, not just any demon," said Magnus. "Azazel."
Jocelyn's eye's blazed. "Azazel?" Her eyes scanned the others, as if looking for support, but Izzy and Alec glanced down at their mugs, and Simon just shrugged.
"I don't know who Azazel is," he said. "Isn't he the cat from The Smurfs?" He cast about, but Isabelle just looked up and rolled her eyes at him. Clary? he rhought.
Her voice came through, tinged with alarm. What is it? What's happened? Did my mom find out I'm gone?
Not yet,
he thought back. Is Azazel the cat from The Smurfs?
There was a long pause. That's Azrael, Simon. And no more using the magic rings for Smurf questions.

Luciana said...

BYE, VAL! HAVE FUN! :D

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

thats funny Star

Unknown said...

i dont know what to say
