Heh.

So... a new Skulduggery, eh?

I don't have a title for you yet, sorry. I'm close to being halfway through it, though, and so far it's working out to be exactly what I want it to be. Which is good. And I'll also be finished long before my deadline, so I'll be able to go over it a few times. And then a few times more! And possibly even more after that!

Ah, the luxury...

But what CAN I tell you about it?  Well, like I said, it was probably around Last Stand of Dead Men that I realised the story could go longer than I'd planned. I knew vaguely what I wanted to do with certain plot threads, and I knew for CERTAIN what I wanted to do with others, and I made a few notes and jotted down some stuff, but back then I was focusing on making sure Phase 1, as I had taken to calling it, ended just how I wanted it to end.

And it did. Phase 1 came full circle, ending with the same line, pretty much, as the first book. Most of the plot lines were wrapped up, most of the character stories were paid off... it was good. I was happy with it. More than that, I was proud of it.

But I had bigger plans...

My agent already knew, and so did my editor, but when the rest of the Skulduggery team eventually found out, it was all treated with the utmost secrecy. We didn't mention the word "Skulduggery" when discussing it in public. We simply called it the "series after Demon Road". Apart from anything else, such as how much I love springing surprises on the readers, I didn't want anyone to know because I wanted some breathing room. And I wanted, quite honestly, the option to change my mind.

I loved writing Skulduggery. I loved writing the ninth book as much as I loved writing the first. But as I went on to work on Demon Road, I wondered if my love would fade, and take my enthusiasm with it. If this happened, I didn't want to have to turn round to the expectant readers and tell them, "Uh, actually, I've kind of changed my mind..."

Hence, the secrecy.

But time passed, and I was writing other things, and my love for Skulduggery Pleasant remained as strong as ever. And the fact was, the 10th anniversary of the first book was approaching, so if I was going to do this, I'd better make a decision, one way or the other. Either commit, or let it go. So the decision was made, and plans were set in motion.

Over the next few months I'll be able to answer some of the more popular questions, such as how many books will there be and who'll be returning. Right now, I can tell you that Skulduggery and Valkyrie are back, and they have a brand new co-star. Omen Darkly WAS going to be the star of his own trilogy, but Phase 1 worked because it was a combination of three or four separate story ideas all thrown into one, and I figured Phase 2 could use the same kind of mojo.

Deciding to include Omen in Phase 2 saved it, to be honest, because I had one pretty major problem with continuing the series: it's hard to have a "children's" book without any actual children in it.

Now, I've never had a problem with this idea. One of the most popular (new) fictional characters of the last 20 years has been Jack Sparrow, after all, and he's no kid. I've never believed that young people need to read about other young people... but the fact is, Valkyrie is now in her mid-20s, and if there isn't anyone younger in the cast list, then Phase 2 would pretty much become YA.

And while I do harbour dreams of someday writing a Skulduggery and Valkyrie book for adult readers, it's not a bridge I wanted to cross just yet.

So Omen is allowing me to keep the book for younger readers, while also dealing with the ramifications of what Valkyrie has been going through for the past 5 or 6 years. He's also letting me delve deeper into the culture of magic and the rules and traditions and whatnot — basically all the stuff that I glossed over in Phase 1. What I can say is that there'll be loads of new characters, and loads of new villains, and some of these villains will be connected to villains who've gone before, both in the books and the short stories.

Some of your favourite supporting characters will return. Some of them won't. Some will survive the onslaught to come. Some will die. Horribly.

I'll be releasing more information over the next year, both here and on Twitter, so keep an eye out. We've got Tom Percival back doing the artwork (right now he's hard at work on the Phase 1 books, which we're re-releasing with new covers in the first few months of 2017 for the 10th anniversary), so the whole gang is back together for this. It's gonna be fun. Well, it's gonna be fun for US.

For you, it's going to be torture.

  5. I absolutely love skulduggery and when I met you on the desolation tour you asked my favourite and u realised then that I need to reread them to remember in detail which is my favourite and the new books is the push I needed. Also I'm making a Tanith costume so it'll give me a deadline to finish it by then :)

  6. I am really looking forward to this!! I have read the books more than just once and I have fallen in love with all the characters - especially with those you killed, obviously... *glares* But all the same I am so excited for this and ready for more pain! Bring it, Landy! =)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Can't wait for this new series - it seems brilliant!
    And, the idea of an adult book of Val and Skul running around fighting evil just makes me so happy and warm. I love it when the reader is able to grow up alongside the characters and that's what has happened with Val and I, and so the thought of progressing into being proper adults together seem kinda cool :)

  8. Torture. Hahahaaha!!!!

    Yup. I thought you were kidding when you said you might kill me off....

    I actually believe you will torment us. But, it shall be worth it!!!! Even if I can never see my dear Ravel again...Least I can see some people I loved dearly.

  10. Is this my favourite book series? Yes. Will I probably cry reading this book? Yes. Will I emotionally traumatize myself? Yes.
    Do I care? No.

  11. Wait; Valkyrie and Skulduggery survive book 9 (#halfwaythroughbook7)!!!

    On the plus, congratulations on having a successful series that, not only do people love reading, but you enjoy writing. May the stories continue to pour from you mind.

  12. (yayyyyyyyyy!

    Please please come to Swansea Derek!)

  13. I literally can't wait this is the best! Also Derek a new skulduggery book doesn't sound like torture... Unless... Ah of course you will kill all my fav characters! Thanks in advance for that I actually can't wait tho this is AMAZING! This is my favourite book series ever and you are my favourite author.

  14. Hey Derek! Another SP book??? :O

    NOW I HAVE TO READ THE LAST THREE THAT I PUT OFF READING OH DEAR.

    BUT AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE WRITING THE SERIES AGAIN. WHAT'S UP WITH MY FAVORITE AUTHORS MAKING RETURNS TO OLD SERIES??? First it was Rick Riordan with the Trials of Apollo, then it's JK Rowling with the Cursed Child(PLUS INFORMATION ABOUT AN AMERICAN SCHOOL AND THE NEW MOVIE!!!), and NOW you're back with Skulduggery Pleasant!!! WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR US???


    Ahem, on another note, it's been ages since I've been on last. How's everyone been?
    (Not that I expect people to be on at this time, but I could be wrong.)

  15. So... excited...

    I love this series!!

    Also, if anybody's got a little time, feel free to check out my blog! It's still a little new, but I'm trying to publish as often as I can. I would also appreciate it if you could head over to my second, which has more creative writing and prompts related to characters in a book series I'm working on...

    I'm not a very experienced writer, and this blog is basically me putting my writing out there for the first time. Please leave some comments and tell me what you think and how I can improve!

    Good luck with the new series, Derek!!

  16. STAR. YES. TIS I. HELLO AND HOW HAVE YOU BEEN???

    (Sorry, I don't really sound myself right now. Ah well.)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ahhhhhhh i bet the new characters gonnna be like what? 8 years old?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Can you believe this though? Three authors, three series, and it's like a step back and two steps forward.

    Scarlet: Don't listen to her, Star. She doesn't know what she's talking about right now.

    Hey! It's a metaphor!

    Scarlet: Nuh, that's a simile.

    Oh... *facepalms*

    @Anthony: Nah, Derek's probably gonna have them at 11 at the youngest. Possibly. But wait, who's Owen and how old is he? Never mind. Didn't read the last three books. No spoiling.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Um, I'm going again. Want to write a bit. But I might come back later. Ya know, maybe to catch up. If anyone comes on. Or, ya know, stays.

    Yeah. Hope everyone's been doing okay.

  21. Ahem. Well, I actually have to get to bed now. My cousin wanted us to go on the roof and watch for shooting stars(she got lucky and saw a big one!) and now it's late so yes. Sorry.

  23. Aw man, remember when we could fill the comments in a day? That was the life.

    ReplyDelete
  24. *nodsnods, even though the last comment was probably hours ago*
    When I looked at the blog, I was kinda surprised there had only been just a little over 200 comments on the last post.

    But maybe what was suggested earlier is more true than people think. Everyone seems to just leave comments and check back for replies later rather than staying for a bit and refreshing the page.

    Maybe it's not only because of Twitter. Maybe we're all just growing up... Have other priorities... Or maybe the blog's just gotten boring.

    Of course that doesn't mean the people are boring, but waiting for someone and making that effort to hold a conversation when you want to do something else might be the cause of feeling bored.

    Or could it be that people just aren't interested to talk anymore? How should I know when I haven't been around for a while?

    Heh, sorry. This became something of a monologue now... I'll stop.

    ReplyDelete
  25. This comment is to announce that I'm aliveband sort of here.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm not going to lie, but I do check on here more than y'all think. For the first few months when I left, I'd search for my name to see if anyone talked about me, and that didn't happen, but recently... I've stopped thinking about this place until Facebook said Landy was writing another book.

    And I did groan a bit and complain to my mum that he's doing it again - I don't mean any offence, but SP reminds me of the worst times of my life, back when I tried my hardest to knock myself off. But that's just my experience. If SP means something else for you, then I won't fight it. That's just my opinion.

    That aside, I checked back on here and saw that the last few posts actually had very few comments, which was odd for us. I bet none of y'all remember that time Eve the Rock's post button broke so she pressed it... A couple hundred times, and Eden Threatening got the grumps because he had JUST dedicated a page? We burnt through these comments like there was no tomorrow.

    Maybe people have moved on. Maybe it's because Blogland is for Skulduggery Pleasant and the Demon Road fandom aren't completely comfortable coming on here, and the SP fandom feel the same. Maybe with these new books that might bring a few people back. I don't know, but I hope they do.

    Blogland was a great place. Y'all helped me more than I care to admit...

    And I need to clear this up before I go
    I'm always saying how I'm happier that I'm away from here, and then I'll check and people will write something snarly about it. I want to explain that it's not getting you out of my life that helped - no, that hurt like fuck. I needed time for myself to learn who I was and learn how to pick myself back up. Because I was broken. I was too busy being on here to learn how to help myself.

    And since I left, I figured it out. I'm glad I left because I feel better... Because I know who I am. I know how to help myself. Blogland was an addiction for me, much the same as countless harmful drugs that I won't name in case of triggers. It was a way I dealt with my emotions and shitty mental health. I hid from my problems on here. But I needed to face them.

    And I have.

    I'm 18 now. My blogervesary is coming up (or it may have passed...), but I would have been here for about four years now. I'm almost finished my final year. My depression and anxiety is gone. I'm doing well.

    I'm happy, guys.

  28. At the age of 12 I waited inline for 3hrs at borders in chermside Australia for the release of a book I was dying to getting my hands on. I grew up with one of the most amazing characters and got to share my childhood with a girl i dreamed of being... I went to many a costume parties and based more school assignments then I can count on this world, even building a house with no doors! I am now currently 21, soon to be 22 and I could not be more excited for this next phase. #12to22 #10yearsoflove #somanycopies

    Even my soft toys are excited and they haven't had the first series read to them yet. Maybe Blob Thing could blog as he reads. [No Blob, you can't, your blog is getting out of hand as it is.]

    I was standing in the street in central Newcastle today feeling the spaces where the air connects. It's a liberating feeling but I do get funnier looks than usual.

    I almost killed Dug <3

    That was the backup plan.. <3

    But it didn't end up being necessary for me to do that. <3

  61. (I'm thinking if I have a leader of the Mafia in my round they won't be immune to night kills because that's what keeps screwing the town over.
    Like Mafia was the first win.
    Then town - with No head of the Mafia (that would have made me and Lav more successful!!!)
    Then town again - that time we got very lucky
    Mafia - Fay couldn't kill Noelle
    Mafia - I couldn't kill Noelle.)

    ReplyDelete
  62. I mean, you could pretend you're not going to kill me so I'd take the Mafia kill and then kill me anyway and you and Star would have majority and could vote out Noelle <3

    But yeah no you're kinda doomed <3 <3 <3

    ReplyDelete
  63. (I still need to figure out numbers for my round anyway. How many of what.)

    ReplyDelete
  64. (That would have been a wise plan. Other than the fact you have already thought of that.
    But yeah we're screwed.)

    ReplyDelete
  65. *pokes Jai back* I am MORE doomed!
    But yes, I think you are a little not doomed. :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. If there'd been more town, you'd have won. Like, if I'd been killed instead of covered, you and Star and Dug could have voted out Noelle.

    So whether or not that role works well depends on who else is in the game.

    But Godfather + Vampire is kinda an OP combo tbh.

    But Ari is coming over and we will cuddle and talk and the next day I'm taking her to lunch at my favorite food place yay!

    But I'm so excited
    Because Aretha is my best friend and like, I have not seen her in over a year, and it's so much fun to see each other and have fun! We may do a breakout room, too. And will possibly break out quickly. Because we are smart :3

    But I have many presents for Ari for her birthday
    And she is making a prezzie for me (even though I said she didn't have to- she sent me birthday stuff for MY birthday) but friendy is stubborn when she wants to spoil friends

  112. Okay. I started reading SP when I was 12 and I love that the story grew up with me. I mean SP09 is much more brutal and adult than the first book and I like it. In all the series for kids there is no development. When I start watching or reading a series as a kid or teenager and I grow up I also want the series to grow up. But If you really think SP is still for kids then OK ^^ I'm 19 now so NO conservative person and I wouldnt want my kid to read book 7 to 9 until he ist 14 at least.

    And I want Alice as co-protagonist! The Adventures of Alice und Team Skulduggery Cain :D
