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.

With instruments.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Btw, I'm writing /your/ story, again.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The one where I walked to a window?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Because that one was REALLY exciting.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Did you die or something? You're all quiet.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*hums to self*

Robin Snowscar said...

You know, Derek, you should sell some SP merch. I need a tee shirt but like a good one. Not a crappy one.

Robin Snowscar said...

Bloglanders reckon you're afraid of them. Apparently, Becky is living in your toilet, just thought I'd mention it.

Robin Snowscar said...

Ameriminions are a different species.

Amusing, this conversation is.

Robin Snowscar said...

Fabi - An ameriminion said that to me. I'm quoting our skype conversation.

Anonymous said...

Ah.

Robin Snowscar said...

*laughs hysterically* Em swears so much

Robin Snowscar said...

Now we're talking over the semantics of vampire sex. What is this conversation?

Robin Snowscar said...

HOMEWORK HELP CLUB.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I need to summarize this in five sentences and decide if it violates rights.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Semantics of vampire sex?

And they blame me for the sex talks...!

Robin Snowscar said...

Do you think it violates rights?

Robin Snowscar said...

*grins at Flame* They're silly.

Robin Snowscar said...

I'm going to bed night.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Me too, night!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi, Lav! I'm also distant...

Lavender Hope said...

Hey Fabi!

Do you have Skype? Cause if you do, and you have some Bloglandians as contacts, just warning that it's crazy in there!

Anonymous said...

I don't have Skype...
I bet it is, though.

Lavender Hope said...

I can never multitask.

If I'm here, I can't be there...

Talking in two places at once gets me confused. :P

In other words, I'm here.

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah.

*sighs*
What am I getting myself into...

Drew O'Connor said...

*spooks voice*

Join us Fabi...

Anonymous said...

Sounds like the end of several MC chapters...

I multitask a lot...I am doing three things now, drawing a graphs thing, listening to Hayley Westenra music and talking on here. Talking in two places at once, though, that sounds harder.

Anonymous said...

Hi, Em [hugs]
I don't have Skype, sorry.

Drew O'Connor said...

Then gets it lol

Anonymous said...

I think I've bugged my parents enough for the weekend...

Lavender Hope said...

*laughs at Em's spooks voice*
Hi Em. :)

Yeah, I may have started it with my first chapter... Said that at the end.

Anonymous said...

Well, it seemed appropriate for the situation, then appropriate for another situation, et cetera. I think I've used it twice... Fabi and A. both wonder what they're getting into.

Jophiel said...

My sister woke me up at eight! EIGHT!! Because her friend was picking her up!!! She wouldn't let me sleep!!!
*Falls over sleeping*

Lavender Hope said...

Hmm...
*sighs*
Maybe I should just say it now. I think I've put it off too long.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Death.
*puts a blanket over her and a pillow under her head*

Anonymous said...

Hi, Death!
What, Lav? Are you okay?

Lavender Hope said...

Well, there's another reason I've been having these mood swings...

Yesterday, I actually felt like myself...

I can only be a regular here until the end of the month. Once Febuary begins, I'm not sure when I'll come back on...

There's more to it, but I think I'll just leave it at that... The rest is complicated.

Jophiel said...

My brother stole my blanket!!!

And then he bit my leg!!!!

Anonymous said...

Oh. [hugs Lav]

Lavender Hope said...

I think I'm going to email Star...

Very distant.

Jophiel said...

*Hugs Lav*

Lavender Hope said...

Ouch, why'd he do that, Death?

Maybe not so very distant... Atm.

Anonymous said...

He BIT your LEG?

Jophiel said...

Yes, he bit it because I was trying to get my blanket back and he is a bloody skitzo!

Lavender Hope said...

Going very distant now, and msd.

I don't like leaving without saying bye, so if I do disappear, I'll come back as soon as I can. Which might not be so soon...

Jophiel said...

Okay, what were people talking about on the top of the page?!

Anonymous said...

[Sarcastically] What a delightful way of expressing his opinion.

Jophiel said...

In that case,

EMERGENCY BYE!

This online genie thing that guesses characters.

He had epilepsy when he was younger so I guess it's not too unhim...

*Laughs*
Really? What site?

Lavender Hope said...

I got a random person named Andy Gavin following me on twitter...
*is creeped*

Who is he???

Jophiel said...

Forget that last comment!

Anonymous said...

No idea, Lav. Yeah, it is creepy.

Lavender Hope said...

This is the site address, Death.

http://en.akinator.com/

Jophiel said...

I wish I knew... But I don't.

Sorry Lav!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, oops. Didn't notice Fabi already had it. Sorry, Fabi. ^^'

Yeah, but it says he's supposedly a fantasy paranormal novelist...

Lavender Hope said...

Who also created a video game or something.
*whispers*
How can I have him unfollow me?

Jophiel said...

Thanks!! Downloading it on my phone now!!

Jophiel said...

I don't have twitter... If I did I would help...

Anonymous said...

I don't know, Lav. Never read his books/played his game, either. To my knowledge, anyway.

It's possible it was a misclick, and he'll unfollow you himself...

Lavender Hope said...

I barely use twitter!

Well, okay, I have followed some people of my own, but I have no idea-

It also says that Micheal Scott follows him... Can't be too bad I guess... Micheal Scott's the author of the Series of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel books.

Anonymous said...

There should be a 'block' button, idk where, though.

Lavender Hope said...

I think I'll be okay now... Sorry for the randomness. ^^'

Thanks for trying to help.

Anonymous said...

I don't really do twitter, just got an account to follow Derek.

Jophiel said...

"Does your character wear a hat?"
Hmmm? Does skulduggery wear a hat? OF COURSE!!

It won't show me unless I have the full version!
*Mutters*
Stupid rip off...

Lavender Hope said...

Gotta go now. Bye!
