Happy Christmas (Tour is Over)

I thought the title of this entry was smart and funny, effectively conveying the relief at another tour being over and done with in a winning and whimsical manner. But how many of you are going to miss the John Lennon reference and just puzzle at the "Happy Christmas| part? Ah well. Too late now to go changing it.

So, another tour bites the dust. This was a fun one, lots of people turning up, lots of glares and scowls and cakes and pictures and fist-bumps and many, many moody looks into camera... All in a day's work, really. Thanks to everyone who came along — it was tiring but I had a blast.

And now I'm home, and it's time to get organised.

There's going to be some cool news coming your way over the next few weeks and months. Some of it will make you go "Cool!" and some of it will make you grin. Some of it, of course, will make you weep, as it's coming up to that time when I'll have to start plotting out Book Nine. Most of you will still be reeling from the events of LSODM, so you'll know not to trust me. For some reason, the tagline from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is floating through my head...

"Who will survive, and what will be left of them?"

The good news is, now that the pressure of editing and touring is off, I'll be able to get back to my regular (ahem) blogging and Twitter routine, so I should be chatting to you guys a little more often than I have been. Hopefully.

The fact is, I'm going to be incredibly busy for the next year. Want a brief rundown on what I have ahead of me?

1) Plot, write and finish Book Nine by March.

2) Work on Mystery Project 2.

3) Write 10 brand new short stories for the Skulduggery Collection out next Summer.

4) Work on Mystery Project 3.

5) Devise, plan and start writing New Book Series by September 2014.

6) Work on Mystery Project 4.


All that, and blog and tweet and play with my nieces. Oh, and my nephew.

Nephew, you say? But Golden God, you don't HAVE a nephew. I do now, gentle Minion. Born this afternoon, weighing in at over 9 pounds, Baby Skulduggery is now part of my Baby Army of Terror, and he is to be feared.

(Okay fine, my sister hasn't OFFICIALLY named him Baby Skulduggery, but come on... How could she NOT?)

"Princess Diana suffered from self-harm and depression so mAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLING US DIANA BC PRINCESSES"

"Diana is for all girls who are depressed, who self-harm, who are suicidal, for the fans who just need to know that they make a difference to the people that are thanking them for the reason they are still alive, Diana is going to save lives I'm so proud of the boys omG I'M CRYING IN TURDY SEVEN LANGUAGES THIS IS PERFECT"

"Just replace your name instead of Diana, and look at the lyrics. We can all agree that this song is about US."

"this song isn't dedicated to a "diana". they sing it for all of us. they want to tell us that we don't need to cry and that they didn't only save our lives, but we saved theirs too"

"The reason behind Diana:

Diana backwards is;

An Aid.

I'M CRYING SO HARD THEY'RE SO CLEVER"

*points to the barn she'll be at in ten minutes for about an hour*

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

Can you just speak it is rather annoying now. Like come on its annoying now you can't just talk. *shakes head walking away from*

Jophiel said...

*Sighs heavily and tries not to roll her eyes* I never feel like talking, I've spent days where I just do actions because words are- 'Coming out I feel terrible, is it typical for us to end like this' - too hard to say some times. Adra wants to be here, just not to speak. Let her be.

Noelle said...

*hugs Rose, nodding* *flips Zaf off*

Jophiel said...

*Flashes a small smile* I've been listening to Derek Sanders talk about his life. He's been through so much... I'm ready to defend anyone right now...

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

*sighs irritably* well its annoying with her! *stays by lake*

Zathract Mist said...

I'm back. Sorry about before, Death, I was called away.

Distant.

Jophiel said...

Just give it a few days, okay babe? You'll be fine. It may be slightly hard to accept at the moment but if Adra decides that this is how she wants to communicate, who are we to tell her otherwise?

Jophiel said...

Nah, all's good Zath! *Grins* Shouldn't you be asleep? It's late! *Hides her cup of coffee*

Jophiel said...

What do you think guys? Terrible or what!?

Brarantine Chavouert. A mad man. A spy. A secret agent.

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

Fine I guess. *stares at tree* I hate how I want to meet John Smith but I know Niccolò will succumb to his fear and never actually release that name like he thinks he should

Jophiel said...

Well, imagine Niccy as a bomb. There are so many wires in him and if you break the wrong one, the non-John Smith wire, he goes kaboom. And then there goes Niccy... And Alice would probably come back because he's evil and I need to slap him in the face. And because he's powerful. I'm almost certain that Niccolò is struggling, as is, with his names and knows it would be too risky for all of us if he were to allow you to meet this John Smith.

Jophiel said...

(Asleep)

Zathract Mist said...

I don't see why it's aggravating you, Zaf.

Sleep? Hah, no. It's only midnight. Just gonna let that coffee thing slide for now...

I like the name, but I'm afraid crappy movies have ruined any seriousness that could possibly have come with a title of "secret agent" for me. That's probably just my head, though, and would otherwise be perfectly fine.

Zathract Mist said...

Adding to the sleep thing, I'm also waiting for Ivy to wake up and to watch her reaction to seeing a new BFB chapter up.

You have no idea how much she pesters me about it.

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

Its just bugging me honestly. It is. And he /can/ he just is afraid to lose himself....*stands wandering around*

Jophiel said...

This is a real secret agent that I'm going to slap. Hard. In the face. In my dream tonight. Because he made me cry. Because he Mr Bliss-ed it. He's a jerk. He will be killed!!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm asleep and I don't know what I'm saying...


GO CHICKEN FEET!!! WOOOO!!!

Zathract Mist said...

Yes, you said that. I just don't see why.

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

You'll have another hour or so Zath its 10:03am bu me and she's 3hrs behind

Jophiel said...

Well, I don't want to lose Niccolò. What happens if John is not strong enough and Alastair returns? I ain't gonna be here to slap him. I'm gonna be sad!!! And Niccolò, yes, may lose himself. Do you remember how hard it was for him to return last time? Alastair may destroy Niccolò Croatoan completely and where would Aretha be?


Without her best friend.

(Heh, that was a good chapter, Zath...))

Zathract Mist said...

I know, Zaf. I doubt she'll be up early as such, so I'll most likely be here longer than an hour.

Thanks, Death.

Jophiel said...

Does anyone want to read something... It's boring and horrible and I hate it, but I'm trying to turn it into a decent story...

Jophiel said...

*Shines beam of light in Zath's face* That's okay!! I had been waiting too long... Evil...

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

Aretha is in his head even if he let John out she would be there keeping Alastair at bay. And I know enough about John to assume that he would allow Niccolò back. John was the one who knew the earth magic its how Niccolò can turn you to stone like he did to me multiple times

Zathract Mist said...

I'd be happy to, Death. Don't expect any sort of helpful feedback, though. Recently my responses to writing have consisted only of:

- Nice
- Cool
- Great
- Awesome
- I like

Yeah. I'm creative.

Jophiel said...

The room was bright and the walls were dark. White paper littered the wooden floor. There was a large desk in front of a wide, open window, its curtains long torn off and destroyed. The view from the desk showed a lush green yard bordered by large, skeletal trees; their bare branches clawing at the sky like long, brown fingers.
On the desk sat a neat stack of white paper, clear of the scribbled words that were spewed on the sheets found on the floor. Beside this stack of paper sat an old fashioned ink pen and an ink well. On the far wall, the wall furthest from the door, sat a beautiful silver frame which held half a portrait of a black-haired child, the other half if the painting was strewn in the sea of paper.
The man in the doorway frowned and ran a thick hand through his dirty brown hair. His deep blue eyes darted around and took in the scene and a fierce expression clouded them. His lips curled down and a sigh escaped him.
He walked further into the room and extended an arm to the floor, snagging a piece of paper in front of him. He read through the neat calligraphy and sighed again. Nothing useful would be found on these sheets.
Of course she was too smart for that. She would have taken anything that had identified her or destroyed what she couldn't. She was thorough. He hated that.
His footsteps made crunching and crackling sounds as he walked towards the painting and a musty smell hit him, despite the open windows not ten meters away. He continued walking and the nearer he got to the painting, the stronger the scent became.
His fingers trailed over the frame, and his eyes automatically glanced at the child's eyes. They were dark, almost black, but something about them seemed off. The eyes sparkled differently to what was to be expected from the light in the painting. He blamed that error on the artist.
The man's hand retracted quickly as he heard a faint click. It came from the painting in front of him. Slowly, his fingers reached out to touch the frame again.
His eyes narrowed as he watched his fingers and saw the slight depression in the frame. He thought it might have been a trick if the light but as his fingers trailed over it again and the click was heard, he decided against it.
He pressed down harder on the depression and a small section of the frame gave way under the pressure. He frowned, puzzled, and pressed further.
His finger was almost all hidden in the silver frame before he heard a louder click and the button stayed where it was, deep in the wood.
Slowly, the border began to sink into the wall and he stepped back. When the picture was several inches deep, it swung inwards to reveal a small passage, lit by small torches that hung in brackets in irregular intervals along either side of the tunnel. The brackets of iron were mounted haphazardly upon the grey stone wall and it reminded him of a secret tunnel that one might find in a castle or a dungeon. The fire danced along the walls and tried to lick their way up to the high, arched ceiling of the secret passage.
He started to walk along, his footsteps changing from the crackle of paper to the light tap of shoe against stone. The air in the passage was cool and stagnant and musty; the source if the smell in the room behind him.
There was a slight creak behind him and he whirled, spinning to face to closing door behind him. He lunged forward but he was too late. The flames trembled as the closed door sent a small gust of air whistling down the long tunnel. Grimacing, he turned around and walked back down the corridor.
His footsteps echoed off the close walls either side of him and several times he had to peek over his broad shoulder to check no one was following close behind him. The sensation of being followed, being watched, stalked him as he walked but he did his best to ignore it. It would have only been paranoia.

Jophiel said...

... I had to trim down about half of that sotry to fit that in... Grrrr....


Okay, now I'm sleeping!! I'm meeting someone famous and I don't have any makeup to cover the bags under my eyes!!!

Good night Rose

Jophiel said...

Oh, it always says 'he' and not a name because that dude is nameless!! I call him Vincent, as a nickname as I wait for a good name to pop into my mind!!! Muahahahaha!!!

Zathract Mist said...

Interesting, Death (yeah, see? I'm just so creative). Very descriptive.

Night. Have fun tomorrow.

Noelle said...

Adra, did you get trotted on? *Bursts out laughing, not sure if it's funny or if she's just sleepy... Probably the latter*

Thanks Zath!! *Huggles*

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

*glares at Adra*

Sir said...

Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other comparable time, Blogland.

Jophiel said...

*Purses her lips and turns Zaffy away from Adra* No fighting or I'll be up all night. My brother just came in and yelled at me to stop laughing. He's angry. He's evil... *Hugs Zaf* Please don't try and fight each other! I love you!

Jophiel said...

Early, early, early morning... Sharky!

Gah!! Leaving! Not here!! Seriously gone for a few months!! No one miss me or I'll shoot you!!

Cheers!! *Scrambled away*

Sir said...

Oh Adrasdos. You silly girl, you should know I meant strange in a good way.

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

I wasn't alive. I was born early 1800's actually i think 1801 if I remember...

Sir said...

To be perfectly honest, most of human history is overrated. I suppose I enjoyed the 2nd Punic war, but only because it was such an interesting time.

Noelle said...

It's perfectly fine, Fabienne.

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

Okay Sir is Ari! She disappeared and you came on. *sighs and walks away*

Sir said...

... What?

Noelle said...

*calmly sits by a large piece of water and goes fishing*

Sir said...

You do realize that Aretha and I have conversed many times, correct...?

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

Niccolò has too so has Alastair

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

The general public spoke to Fabienne, anyway, so there isn't the slightest difference. The fact that you drew attention to it, however, gave me an irritating urge to revert to Adamantha.

...

Talk all formal? Huh? XD

Coincidences happen quite often, Zafira. You know that I would never knowingly utter a lie of any sort.

It is times like these that I am of two minds about humanity. On one hand, I understand that you merely jest and reference a form of media you enjoy, but... Well, each day there are many in the circumstances you jokingly place yourself in. And, having known plenty of those, I can hardly bring myself to summon a chuckle at your jest.

Hey zaf! Long time no see :) *hugs*

MARA! *tacklehugs back*

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

Yup there's a reason I'm American xD when Derek uses Irish words I have to ask Em or NJ how to say it I think I can say athletics in Irish now

Noelle said...

*mumbles* Sorry... *fixes her symbol again*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Lúthchleasaíocht *nods*

Gleasaíocht is gymnastics, I think... *frowns*

Ugh I have to learn all the acting words -.-
Scannán is film, and aisteoir is actor...
Ugh effort

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

Adrasdos, it was NOT YOUR FAULT. You meant nothing by it, and I overreacted. You have my deepest apologies.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

...I'm gone.

Au revoir.

#ChaseForBook9

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

I'm in my 3rd year of Spanish *shrugs* Irish seems easy it isn't as hard as it looks it seems

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

Hmm

Melica Frost said...

IM GOOOD! HOW ARE YOU?!?

#Chaseforbook9

Noelle said...

*holds up her hand, stopping him and giving him a look*

*waves to Fabi*

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

I dedicate this page to Niccolò. Shush I know you'll roll your eyes but I have a reason. I dedicate to Niccolò picking the right choice no matter how hard it is on him or I I pray he finds the way he knows is best. I also dedicate to NJ because she's special but not in a good way. And to milkshakes being dumped on Derek.

Noelle said...

*frowns about the NJ part*

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

She'd get it. Its what Derek told her.

Noelle said...

:/ *sits down next to a tree, pulling hot her notebook*

Sir said...

... Stars, what are you drawing all of the time, Adrasdos?

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

*sits with Alexis*

Alexis: Momma! I want Coco bear

You put him in your room

Alexis: No! Olivia took him!

*sighs*

Noelle said...

*holds up a sketch of the new Sanctuary*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Sorry gtg homework

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

*nods hesitantly* Ah. A Sanctuary. Sanctuaries are... Interesting groups. To say the least.

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

Bye Mara!

Noelle said...

*waves to Marsies*

*turns the page and works on sketching a fountain*

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

*looks up at Sir* ah yes you forget I am the American Grand Mage *shadow-walks*

Sir said...

Erm, no, I never FORGOT, per se. I just haven't always been on the BEST terms with American Sanctuaries, is all. I feel as though it may be the entire "loose eldritch abomination" issue.

Chione Asahina said...

Bye mara

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

What do you mean? Oh wait yeah. *comes back and sits under tree reading*

Noelle said...

*rolls her eyes, pulling out her phone, sighing and listening to a voice message*

Downside of being on the Council is reading the Elder's Jounrals meh *sighs*

Noelle said...

*calmly puts her phone away, fuming* *continues to scribble*

Sir said...

*nods* I can understand your trouble, Adrasdos. Those mobile death contraptions can irritate me, as well.

Noelle said...

*shakes her head, gathering up her things in haste, dashing back to her lab*

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

*continues reading* Why can I not get over this?

Sir said...

*frowns, and raises a hand after Adrasdos, but lets it drop* I don't know, Zafira.

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

*lays head against tree* reading is getting boring but bleh I must read this

Sir said...

Perhaps you should listen to music while reading.

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

I wish I just need to read....*sighs*

Noelle said...

*runs to the lab, slashing through the symbol on bed hand with a knife, pulling out her phone and issuing orders*

Sir said...

Hrm. SOMETHING is troubling Adrasdos. I wonder what...

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

I say leave her to suffer

Sir said...

*bustles around, grabbing weapons and food and water*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*appears next to Adra* What is the matter? Anything I might be able to assist you in?

#ChaseForBook9

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

*shrugs* so? I would leave her. Theres always simething wring in Delhi

Sir said...

*sighs, and approaches the lab* I swear, if Adrasdos simply uses a portal to go off to wherever she needs to, without consulting ANYONE...

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

*sighs going down to the lab* Hi Niccolò

Noelle said...

*shakes her head* No, it's fine. Listen to Zafira. *opens a portal, pushing the carts through and people begin unloading them*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I think not. Clearly there is some pressing issue to be delt with. I shall simply follow you and step in if I think it appropriate with or without your consent, so you may as well give me some instruction.

Hello, Zafira.

#Chaseforbook9

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

Well its amazing how much drama happens in Delhi more tere then in a Cradle of Magic...*shrugs*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

...you started talking again.

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

*frowns as he surveys the scene* Adrasdos, I understand the fact that you are an independent person, and enjoy asserting that independence, but not every task is an Herculean effort, to be preformed on your lonesome.

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

Niccolò why do you want to help her? When has she helped anyone else? Never. Who am I though...who am I 24601

Niccolò Croatoan said...

They were hit with a detrimental blow, Zafira. A majority of their population has been wiped out in no more than a day. Any organization they may have had is in shambles at best. People are afraid and confused. They simply require assistance. Adra is doing everything in her power to help them. She has given herself far more responsibility than a Grand Mage would normally have. And she has done more than enough for all of us as well. I see no reason to allow her people to suffer.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*rolls her eyes, walking through the portal with people bustling about*

*shouts* RIGHT WHERE IS THAT RAT BAS-

*theres an explosion to the left*
*glares*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

She broke the symbol that was keeping her in a form of meditation that did not allow speech. That is why she can talk now, Fabienne.

*follows Adra through the portal*

#ChaseForBook9

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

I never said the people had to suffer. I wish she would though, maybe die? *shrugs* I'm always willing to help devestated people her country is on the Surpreme Council's side
