On Thursday night, I accepted the award for Best Children's Book of the Year (Senior) for Mortal Coil, to rapturous applause from everyone who loves me. Yes, fine, that means I was applauding myself as I made my way to the stage, but it still counts, dammit...
Here is the beautiful award on my mantlepiece...
I also picked up a SECOND award, for I am THAT brilliant- this time it was for the Book of the Decade thing I won a few months back. Here are BOTH awards on my mantlepiece...
Yes. I have a cool house.
Thanks to everyone who voted- it's because of you, my Minions, that the Skulduggery books do so well at things like this. And I just LOVE getting up on stage and making fun of everyone. Makes me so happy...
And, now that I've remembered how to post photos, I'll add a few random ones...
These are home-made jackets worn by two girls who came to signings a few months ago, one in the UK and one in Germany... Sweeeeet.
And here are two pictures of kittens I used to have, before I found good homes for them...!

anyway,
i NEED to know more about book 6

Yes Mr Landy, that IS all I am commenting on about your blog...
Because those kittens are SOOOOO cute!!!
yeah, awesome kittens
aww... kittens
well done on the awards,
and i think you should dedicate book 6 to your devoted minions
They could have come to ME
MY kittens
I second Thrice's idea
mortal coil was on the late late toy show and on an add with a load of other booke for adults, these booke are getting SO popular
I will say something else about your pictures...
What's that skeleton thing in front of your award?
mabye others willl too, you see, we say all the important stuff on this page, before dragona arrives and bores us and talks about him owning camelot again
he lives in his own world
is that kitten being thrown up in the air???
Dragona owns Camelot?
I mean, that's not his own world, that's like his world where Flo is Maiden Marien...
Is that Robin Hood?
Well, Gwen then
...
Kittens...
yellow every1...
yeah, i suppose he makes flo become part of his world too
