Cast Your Vote

I'm STARVING.

I decided it was time to eat lunch, like, an HOUR ago, and I'm still at the computer. And what am I doing now? I'm writing a blog post. Tssh.

Okay then, what have I been up to? Well, the Tanith novella, as you may have guessed. I have another week of writing on that and then I'll pretty much launch straight into Book 8, provisionally titled Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna CRY. But I digress.

On Halloween I did an event in Dublin with my editor Nick Lake and cover artist Tom Percival. It was the first time we'd been on stage together and it was basically a big chat about how the books get made and the process behind it all. Plus I mocked people. It was fun.

And that event also marked another first- the first time the real Valkyrie Cain attended. Laura was sitting at the back beside my agent, and when I mentioned that she was actually here there was an audible gasp around the room and everyone started craning their necks to try and spot her. Laura, for her part, stared straight ahead and tried to attract no attention whatsoever. I'm fairly sure she emerged unscathed by the whole experience- thought she DID glare at me afterwards.

That night we all went out to dinner, fifteen of us, and many laughs were had. Presumably. I spent the next day with Nick as he tried to get me to decide what to write once Skulduggery is over. I have a few ideas, but I'm still not entirely sure what it'll be. Apart from brilliant. We all KNOW it'll be brilliant.

Voting for the Irish Book Awards have come around again. This year I'm up against Anna Carey, Judi Curtin, John Boyne, Darren Shan and Eoin Colfer. That's a pretty impressive list by anyone's standards. I didn't win last year- Anna did- and to be honest I had THE best time. I actually like not winning. It means you can hold a conversation with someone without interruption.

Every year, I don't ask you to vote for me- I ask you to vote for whoever you think deserves it. And this year is no different. Well, ALMOST no different. The only difference is that this year the last Artemis Fowl book is nominated, and if any book deserves to win...

Just pointing it out, that's all. Not trying to influence you, one way or the other. Ahem.

http://www.irishbookawards.ie/vote-here-for-your-favourite-titles


Let's see... oh, next week is going to be fun! You're going to be getting TWO cover releases here on this Blog. The new paperback cover for KOTW at the start of the week, and the Tanith cover at the end of the week.

See? I'm so good to you.

Now I'm going to eat lunch.

  5. Oh my gosh! 6th! Hello everyone! Love the post! Can't wait to see more of Tanith!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Ohhh, I'm SO looking forward to the covers!

    And to whatever it is that will be written after Skulduggery (I don't actually want to think about "after Skulduggery", but I've survived series ending before, in my long life, so I'm sure I'll survive this, too, somehow).

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh i know you'll win Derek! And ironically I'm eating breakfast right now.....it is 9:42am my time.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yay! I can vote for Derek without feeling guilty coz I'm still offically in a mood with Eoin Colfer!

    . . . Okay, I will still feel very guilty. Artemis Fowl is AMAZING.

    :'(

    See this terrible guilt you have brought upon me with your blogpost, Derek? Don't worry, I'll vote for you, coz it's award of the YEAR and this YEAR you released KOTW, one of your best books, and Eoin released The Last Guardian, which I think was one of his WORST books, so I CAN VOTE FOR YOU!!! MWAH HA HA!

    . . . Sorry, Eoin Colfer. XD

  9. I'm new! In case you couldn't tell....

    ReplyDelete
  10. HI ZO. MO!!!!!!!

    I knew. I read old comments. :P How are you?

    And HI ANYONE ELSE!!!! How are you?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh I realized that. Dont worry I dont bite.

    *jumps down from tree*

    Im Zafira Kerias, im an Ameriminion! And so I dont annoy Derek ill leave out a key detail abiut myself

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm feeling great! Thanks for the exclamation marks!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hi Star! I'm new-ish, I read Derek's posts, but I don't comment much :3

    ReplyDelete
  14. Say.... Can your given name be your taken name?
    *Curious*

    ReplyDelete
  15. I like Darran Shan too, but he can't compare with Eoin and Derek and my other favourite authors. But I thought I should give Darran a nod, because he DOES write good books. *nods in direction of Darran Shan*

    ReplyDelete
  16. HI ERIN!!!!!!

    At least you commented now! :D

    ReplyDelete
  17. Aha, Erin is my given name also! My taken name is Scarlet Raintone :3 It's so awesome xD

    ReplyDelete
  18. NO!!! 24TH!!! EVEN BETTER!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Uhm no....I dont think that'd be possibke. I mean yiur given name is the one your parents gave you, the taken name is the one you pick that'd protect you from being controlled. I dont think picking the same name for both would work....someone pester Derek he the smart one

    ReplyDelete
  20. Aeesome Erin!!!


    *high fives*


    you are awesome for sharing my given name

    ReplyDelete
  21. Nope, picking the same name cannot work. Well, probably not, anyway. Does anyone know when Derek is doing another UK tour??????

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hm. Well, whatever! I guess my taken name would be... Ooh, Hazard is a nice name!

    Hazard Z! I like it!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Please tell me none of you have witty.

    ReplyDelete
  24. VOTED! :)

    Oh Eoin Colfer, I'm so sorry. But The Last Guardian wasn't one of your better books. :(

    ReplyDelete
  25. Nice namethenZo. Mo

    Uhm Derek probably will pist details sometime next spring. Usually. He finished his UK Tour for 2012

    I just want an American one because i wanna meet hin (despite the fact I was in a rebellion against him >>)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hazard...Sounds like Hansard.... Hansard Kray!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Erm.... Should I know about this rebellion?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Scarlet Raintone is a really nice name. :)

    My taken name is Star Inkbright. *points at display name*

    Harzard Z? That's cool. :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Why thankyou :3
    I really like the name Star Inkbright, it's cool :3 We can be the awesome taken names group xD

    ReplyDelete
  30. And I'm being ignored again. I don't like being ignored. Probably because I am a narcissist. And I have a huge ego. That may have something to do with it. But all that is Derek's fault. His fault for making Skulduggery my role model. So I can pin the blame on someone else like a good old American.

    ReplyDelete
  31. You know what they say. "Why do you always look to us for witty quotes!?"

    ReplyDelete
  32. Derek how can you do this to me

    "People Gonna CRY"

    THAT'S THE WORST THING TO PUT TO ME SO SOON ASDFGHJKL

    Also go on Bebo and whatnot

    And get people at HC to check on the SP schools comp because lots of schools are cheating and good lord it's disgraceful

    ReplyDelete
  33. ALSO NEW COVERS HEHEHE

    there goes more of Becky and I's money

    ReplyDelete
  34. Zaf was Grand Mage of America, only in KOTW Derek made Bisahalini Grand Mage, so Zaf kept blogasking Derek why he fired her. Derek blogspoke back and said it was coz she'd gone rogue. Now Zaf wants her job back. She has a lot of Minions behind her . . . MINIONS LIKE ME . . .

    ReplyDelete
  35. NO PROBLEM!
    I have just decided, then, that I shall be Grand Mage of Scotland. Or at least an elder. But I should be Grand Mage, I'm totally up for it ;D

    ReplyDelete
  36. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hmm.

    I wonder if anyone would notice me if I walked up behind them and set fire to their pants.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ok fine! Here's what happened I hope Derek isnt lurking he kinda scares me


    Ok so after I read KOTW I git freakin fired by Derek himself. I WAS Grand Mage of America until Derek came on little over a mnth ago and fired me. So, Kestrel and I got annoyed because we all know I'm just so much better then Bisahalani, and started Operation Take Over America basically Minions joined up to try and get me back into my position, I dont know what Derek has in mind if he's ignoring us or not. I'd love to know.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hey, I just remembered - Eve the ROCK is someone who comments on here and her given name is Eve Jackson, but her taken name is Eve L'Keet . . .

    SHE THINKS THAT WOULD WORK. I THINK THAT WOULD WORK. DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hello Pheonix
    I noticed you so you wouldn't set fire to my pants ;D

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm the Lead Recruitment Officer for OTOA (Operation Take Over America). :)

    Does anybody else want to be part of OTOA? All you need to do is say "yes" and think of a job . . .

    ReplyDelete
  42. HI PHOENIX!

    No, I wouldn't notice you, so there's no point doing it. :P

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yes. I shall be... I don't know. Scottish correspondent. To get minions in Scotland and stuff. I am, after all, the Grand Mage of Scotland. *hair flip*

    ReplyDelete
  44. That's an awesome profile pic, btw. I got that Tanith picture and edited it until it was coloured once. :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thankk you Erin

    *grins*

    I think this might actually work!

    So you Scottish? Never spoke to a Scotish person til today then

    ReplyDelete
  46. ...I SHALL NOT SET FIRE TO PANTS. YAY.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yay! Covers!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  56. My best friend is English :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Nobody has cool accents in my school we just American. Though my nephew has an accent similar to Billy-Ray's its not a complete southern drawl his dad has that. P,us they arent Texians they Alabama

    ReplyDelete
  58. Derek, you can write "The Adventures of Ivy and Derek" when you're done with Skulduggery because that would be VERY brilliant(by the way, the thought of Skulduggery ending makes me want to curl into a ball and cry) .

    ReplyDelete
  59. Everyone, it's fine. Everything ends. Even memes.

    ReplyDelete
  60. YES!!! VAL, YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!! *hugs*

    ReplyDelete
  61. English accents aren't amazing. They're either all posh or all chvvy. :/

    No, sorry, Phoenix.

    *suddenly remembers I'm meant to be doing my geography homework* AW, SHIZZ.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Nearly choked on my Coke when I read that...

    ReplyDelete
  63. Well, I don't play Portal much, but my cousin really likes it and whenever he plays it I refuse to look away from the screen. Same goes for Portal 2.

    ReplyDelete
  64. And whenever someone says "When life gives you lemons" I shout, "BURN LIFE'S HOUSE DOWN!"

    ReplyDelete
  65. I saw this lyrics video on YouTube once and there were these random boxes popping up in the background saying "The lyrics are a lie!" a million times. I was like, WTH? Then I got rid of the boxes, and a bit later another one popped up saying "The cake is also a lie!"

    Me: Ohhhhhh-kaaaaay . . .

    ReplyDelete
  66. Heh. It's a really good game. Portal 2 is better, though. Much more complex, better story line, more engaging characters. And Wheatley. Portal 2 has Wheatley.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I wanna cry in a corner. I dont want SP to end

    Derek im going to beg you!!! Did you get anything from 3 Ameriminions including myself? We hand wrote it....please answer?

    ReplyDelete
  68. At rockclimbing yesterday Cody was wearing a T-shirt saying "WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS . . . Squirt them in people's eyes!"

    ReplyDelete
  69. Why find a corner? What's wrong with the midddle of the floor? XD

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yeah, maybe if we send him enough letters then we could get the books over here...

    ReplyDelete
  71. @Zafira

  86. It does suck.

    *has shadows in hands*

    derek come talk and I dont use my magic. Fail to do so and I go Necromancer on you.

    ReplyDelete
  87. My friend from school said that in her primary school she used to usually still be eating lunch after lunch break had ended and she had to finish it in the library .. .

    She's still a really slow eater but she HAS sped up. :P

    Maybe Derek could be eating lunch slowly, and then a slow eater joins him and he waits for them to finish, and then later ANOTHER slow easter joins them and he's waiting for them as well. And then ANOTHER slow eater . . .

    You get the picture. HE COULD EASILY STILL BE ON LUNCH.

    ReplyDelete
  88. That sounds like a math problem Star.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Or maybe he just went out to eat. :P

    ReplyDelete
  90. We will unite. WE WILL HAVE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT!!! Starting today, I, Phoenix Mithrandir, Grand Mage of the New England Sanctuary, declare a state of war against those at Harper Collins who seek to keep Skulduggery from us.

    ReplyDelete
  91. D'awwww... How could you wage war against someone named Harper? It's a cute name.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Maybe he made a super big lunch. But how much can one guy eat? I dont see Derek eating a 4 course lunch

    Dang

    TALK. TO. US.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I DON'T CARE WHAT IT'S NAME IS!!! WE WILL HAVE SKULDUGGERY!!! WE WILL!!!

  98. We shall. I declare a state of alliance. *shakes hand* NOW LET'S KICK SOME PUBLISHER ASS!!!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I find Maths boring, but I'm good at it, and sometimes my MAths side comes out . . . XD

    Like when I'm waiting for a session or a lesson of something to finish I look at the clock and work out how far I am through the session in fractions. Then in different fractions. Then I unsimplify the fractions if I'm really bored, and then I few minutes later five minutes will have gone and the big hand of the clock will be on another number and I can start over with the fractioning.

    Such fun is my life. *sarcasm*

    WE USED TO SEE SIGNS FOR DONCASTER WHEN WE DROVE FROM IPSWICH TO HULL OR HULL TO IPSWICH. :)

    I miss going from Ipswich to Hull and back again. :( It's very odd of me, but I do.

    WATERSTONES. <3 WHSMITH'S MESSES THINGS UP, BUT WATERSTONES IS BRILL. WE ALWAYS USED TO GO TO WATERSTONES IN IPSWICH. THEY HAD A BLACK SIGN WITH GOLD WRITING. THERE'S A WATERSTONES IN HULL AND IT HAS A WHITE SIGN WITH GOLD WRITING, UNLESS THEY'VE CHANGED IT. ODDNESS . . .

    When we visited Ipswich in the summer we went to Waterstones and I bought Throne of Fire and Plague and Fear. :D

    In case you didn't know, I used to live in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, and now I live near Hull, in Yorkshire, England.

    NEXT TIME WE GO TO DONCASTER (WHICH MIGHT BE IN YEARS SEEING AS WE'VE LIVED IN YORKSHIRE FIVE YEARS AND WE'VE ONLY PASSED THROUGH DONCASTER AND NOT BEEN THERE, UNLESS WE HAVE AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IT), THEN I'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR AFOREMENTIONED MASSIVE WATERSTONES. :)

    ReplyDelete
  128. Maybe I should ask my mum if we can just go and stay in Ipswich so we can drive there and back. :P

    . . . Nooooo, that's utterly ridiculous.

    I also miss when we first moved here in 2007, and we were staying in my grandma's house in Hull (she now rents out said house), and we used to drive from Hull to our school in the village I live in now and back again every day. :(

    I MISS THAT CAR JOURNEY TOO.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Her lies Valkyrie Cain,
    Who died heroically after falling off of a train,
    Her death brought joy to many,
    She was busted by a reporter named Kenny,
    She lived and died in Ireland,
    But for some reason is buried in Washington,
    If her secret was known she would have been executed for treason,
    But only of Darquesse abandoned her for some reason.
