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...!

Goes into the toilet which flows into he,
Spongebob Squarepants.
the paragon of humanity is stumped
nicolette- stop giving me a bad name with all the other octopi
no
*jumps at the tentacle and gets sucked away with it*
*uses magic yorkshire pudding to open the portal again, dives in it*
oh well if i have to be the evil octopus
*grins evilly*
you arent evil
thrice and nicolette can't be saved by magic yorkshire pudding- octopi are immune
*swims around in octopus world with harpoon*
well i could be evil if i was evil
the pudding is rotting my brain
or the harpoon
*changes into giant water dragon*
*bites Octaboona*
*throws her into normal world, she disintergrates*
*Octopus aren't immune to Dragons*
*send my legions of mice to eat the harpoon*
*breathes a jet of water at the mice, they fly back to Octaboona*
and then octaboona reverts from octopus back into his original form
*swims to Nicolette and Thrice, puts them on his back, swims out of portal back to real world, portal closes*
*just after i teleport through*
*changes into grey Dragon again*
*changes into toaster*
(well known fact that the grey dragons and toasters have an alliance going back since tuesday)
*dragonas graps me and Thrice and gets away*
*I think were about to escape when I notice the stupid suckers and get pulled back*
I know that :P
toasters have suckers?
*changes into water Dragon again, dives through the portal, starts doing battle with giant octopus*
*but i'm a toaster*
*your obviously battling my brother*
what did he ever do to you
*octopus tries to wrap tenticle around him, Dragona cuts it off with talons, digs foot in it's eye*
he supports the kittenz
*gets octopus in headlock, frees Nicolette whilst still doing battle with it, doing a good job of fighting off 8 tenticles at once*
shame on you
attacking a kittenz supporter
*cuts off another tenticle*
* isend a jet of slightly burnt toast at thrice*
*whacks it with tail*
Congratulations for winning, Derek!!!!
I've voted, too - of course ... but seriously guys: Did anybody here really believe Skulduggery would not win?!!
*turns heat up to gas mark 12
*sends jet of water at it, it makes a hole in it's stomach, Nicolette is free*
because toasters are ovens too
*bah*
she took herself prisoner in the first place
*pushes Nicolette through the portal*
*comes through the portal, changes into grey Dragon again*
*closes the portal and nicolette gets split in half*
but what about the alliance?
*that does not happen, Dragona keeps the portal open*
*grins happily*
You just broke the alliance...
*stamps foot* it does happen
*sulks*
how did i break the alliance?
*it doesn't happen*
what did i do to break the alliance?
You tried to harm someone who is on the side of the grey Dragons...
Aww...Kittens. They're very cute. Very cute indeed. But the picture of that one, the last picture there. It concerns me a twee bit. It looks as if someone picked the poor thing up and then proceeded to drop it. Just saying.
And I applaud you Derek for applauding yourself. *Wipes tear* I am so proud of you! But, are you following your own blog? I follow my own blog. So, ha ha!
(I know what I'm saying sounds quick but it isn't my fault!) About your awards and mantel piece that holds those awards and stuff...I'll beat you! I'll have such a big mantel piece with so many awards that your mantel piece will cry...or something...*Derek backs away slowly, concerned about Mary's mental health*...Anywho, my cat is an honourary bunny.
that was my brother
i'm just a harmless toaster
Nope... you tried to close the portal...
Hi Mary...
a harmless toaster who accidently closed the portal
On purposly...
accidently on purpose
S'up?
I won the boys cross country today... by about half a lap... and I don't even do running...
Oh dear, I'm just thinking about it, and I have repeatedly spelt mantlepiece wrong...*Starts rocking back and forth*

its not my fault
*uses magic yorkshire pudding to heal Nicolette's arm*
Don't self harm... it's not nice and very stupid...

*pulls Nicolette out of the way and breathes fire at the vampires*
Oh sorry... I thought you were a girl Octaboona :S
just because a is on the end of a name doesn't mean i'm a girl.
Octaboon just sounds ridiculous
.... *sneaks into vampire house and they 'eat' me

*pulls Nicolette out and engages the vampires*
