Stuff...

Apologies for the lapse in communication. A lot of stuff has happened/is happening and it's hard to find the time to Blog and think about business stuff and writerly endeavours. That said, I'm still hurtling through Book 8- I think I've got a third of it done, which is good news.

Let's see... Okay, on February 20th I'll be in London as part of the Imagine Festival. I''m going to be talking about the movies that have influenced Skulduggery, and showing trailers/scenes as we go. Expect a LOT of awesome 80's movies. You can book your tickets now.

On the 7th of March I'll be at the Riverbank Arts Centre in Kildare, interviewing Alex Barclay on stage about her fantasy novel for younger readers, Curse of Kings. Alex writes some of my favourite crime novels, and she's also a very good friend of mine, and you'll be hearing a lot more from me about Curse of Kings in the next few weeks.

On the 9th of March, I'll be in Derry, the City of Culture, doing... something. For 600 people. So... there's that. Book now! If you can find out what I'm doing. Because I haven't a clue.

In April, for The Maleficent Seven release, I'll be in Dublin and Cork and Galway and Stratford and Milton Keynes and, ulp, Norwich. Where SHE lives.


Oh, and last but not least, Twitter. Here is the official announcement:

I will tweet this Saturday, the 19th, at EXACTLY 9 PM Irish time.

Oh, Mara.... Of course 1D can't solve all your problems.. It's an awful band. but we're here to help you solve problems! Because everyone has them.....

Luciana said...

*frowns* Mara, I know what it's like to feel ugly. Probably because I am. I don't remember the last time I felt 'pretty'... But that doesn't stop other people telling me I'm beautiful.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Trust me on this one? You're beautiful. There is not one specific thing that makes you beautiful, either. You're just stunning.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Okay, I'm not going to have a hissy fit about how ugly I am...

How is everyone today?

Star Inkbright said...

*giggles* :)

You're NOT ugly, Mara. :)
