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.

«Oldest ‹Older 4601 – 4800 of 4912 Newer› Newest»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.....
*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.
Okay, I'm not going to have a hissy fit about how ugly I am...
How is everyone today?
*giggles* :)
You're NOT ugly, Mara. :)
Back!
Adele's accent is so cool :)
Innit though????
I'm watching the Golden Globes. She was so funny xD she won for Skyfall...
I can talk like that ^^ My Dad talks like it, he lived about a mile away from her :)
And she was like.... YOU GET OUTTA HEREEEEE
xD

I have a CA tomorrow. :/
And an exam on Tuesday. Two on Thursday and one on Friday:/
So I have to go to school all week:(
You people are all so lucky :( I have to wake up early and learn :(

I LOVE ACKINATOR ITS THE BEST! :D
IT JUST GOT TANITH.
VAL THAT IS SICK! :D
Ive got it on my phone its awesome :D
Well, that's rubbishy...the website says school will probably be open tomorrow -_-
AND TESSERACT. AND CHINA.
Haha. I'm trying it now. XD
It has everyone like the cow from the magic roundabout :)
It guessed Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing.
But it asked me if Skulduggery has hair and I didn't know, because being a skeleton he doesn't, but he does have some if he has his facade on o_O
HAH! It guessed Rosencranz and Guildenstern.
I was thinking of Dogberry!
Then I continued and it guessed Dogberry.
I'll write it. :)
Is there anything specific you want us to go, see, do, say . . . or do you not mind?
hi *SUPERNINJAHUGGS* everyone
It guessed Ivy Vega from the My Sister the Vampire books...
THIS THING IS SO WEIRD
AND CHINA!
OH MY GOD. IT GOT NYE.
Mind blown.
Also, I dedicate to this website thing, to Derek, and to (almost) everyone on the Skype call last night. And Mist. Happy Blogversary!
Not really, let me know if you need any info on what Fabi would do in a situation.
I'm trying Scapegrace. It didn't guess at first.
Haha! Second guess, no Scapegrace!
It got Sanguine...
It got thrasher...
And Lord Vile.
It guessed that Scapegrace was 'not for children'
It probably guessed wrong.
Even though it said it guessed right, I doubt it.
It got Melancholia
It still hasn't gotten Scapegrace...trying again.
Scapegrace wasn't in it's list!!!!!!!!!
I DEFEATED IT WITH AN UNINTELLIGENT ZOMBIE!!!!!!!
SCAPEGRACE ISN'T ON IT'S LIST!! :o
Nope!!!
It didn't get Trasher...
I love Scotish accets!

Sooo Becky! Can you use your inner stalker and pursuade Derek to post a new post when we reach 5000?
