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.

Yay, Tanith cover!

Charisma Thorne said...

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

Kribu said...

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).

Willow Storm said...

Hello?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

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

Unknown said...

Hi everybody!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hi!!!!! Its a person

*grins*

Star Inkbright said...

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

Unknown said...

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

Star Inkbright said...

HI ZO. MO!!!!!!!

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

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

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

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

Unknown said...

I'm feeling great! Thanks for the exclamation marks!

Erin said...

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

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Erin you have my given name lol!

Unknown said...

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

Star Inkbright said...

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*

Star Inkbright said...

HI ERIN!!!!!!

At least you commented now! :D

Erin said...

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

Anonymous said...

OMG, 25th?!?

Anonymous said...

NO!!! 24TH!!! EVEN BETTER!!!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

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

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aeesome Erin!!!


*high fives*


you are awesome for sharing my given name

Erin said...

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

Unknown said...

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

Hazard Z! I like it!

Willow Storm said...

Please tell me none of you have witty.

Star Inkbright said...

VOTED! :)

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

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

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 >>)

Erin said...

Hazard...Sounds like Hansard.... Hansard Kray!

Unknown said...

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

Star Inkbright said...

Scarlet Raintone is a really nice name. :)

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

Harzard Z? That's cool. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Uhm.....well.....I guess but first have you read KOTW?

Erin said...

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

Anonymous said...

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.

Unknown said...

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

Georgina Howlett said...

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

Georgina Howlett said...

ALSO NEW COVERS HEHEHE

there goes more of Becky and I's money

Star Inkbright said...

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 . . .

Star Inkbright said...

THANKS ERIN! :)

Erin said...

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

Hmm.

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

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

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.

Star Inkbright said...

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?

Erin said...

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

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hi Phoenix! Dont set my pants on fire

Star Inkbright said...

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 . . .

Star Inkbright said...

HI PHOENIX!

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

Erin said...

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*

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! THANKS ERIN!

Star Inkbright said...

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

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

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

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) .

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

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

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.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

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

Star Inkbright said...

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 . . .

Anonymous said...

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.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

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?

Star Inkbright said...

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

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

Star Inkbright said...

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.

Unknown said...

I'm kind of hyper!

Unknown said...

That sounds like a math problem Star.

Or maybe he just went out to eat. :P

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*

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. :)

I MISS THAT CAR JOURNEY TOO.

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

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.

The whispers grew louder. She closed her eyes tighter, scrunching them together almost painfully. She clenched her fists over her ears, blocking out the whispers. They did this on purpose. And this was the reaction they wanted from her. A small rational part of her mind screamed at her.
It's not real, this is just what they want, they're playing with your mind, don't let them in!
Oh, how she wished it were that simple. How she wished she could just block them out. But the mind didn't work like that. It was weak.

And it snapped.
