Hello all.
Just got back from a TV thing that will be aired in Ireland sometime in May (I'll let you know when it's on so you can YouTube my awesomeness). It's been a long, amusing day, and all I want to do is relax, watch some TV, and generally chill out, so I'll be announcing the title of Book 7 tomorrow instead of today. Hope you understand.
As many of you know by now, every three books have a certain motif when it comes to titles. For instance, the middle trilogy was short, sharp and to the point. The final trilogy (sob) will have a completely different approach, as exemplified by the Greatest Title Ever Thought Up. I'm still writing the thing, and the deadline is fast approaching, so from tomorrow on it's full speed ahead. I only hope that the finished book lives up to what I'm calling it. Oh, I was totally joking about waiting until tomorrow to announce this, by the way. Sorry about that. Heh.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the final days of August of this year, the new Skulduggery Pleasant masterpiece will be released, and it will be called...
Skulduggery Pleasant: Kingdom Of The Wicked.

Hello
The kingdom of the wicked.
Awesome
*HUGS EVERY1* Every1 is amazing
Hang on..
Tagline???
You can't let us not know that...
Awesome title, Derek!
You are SUCH a tease, by the way! Could you include an actual time of day next time you make such an announcement? I think I refreshed the page about 2 gazillion times!
Anyways, the title sounds great, I can`t wait to read the book - and it will be out during the summer holidays! Thank you for that! *hugs*
(hopefully) see you at your next book signing in Germany!
Derek.....I hate you but I love you...I just threw my phone across the room because of you...Might go read more SP...Hmmm...*le dead* What are you doing to us...? I am going even crazier when I meet you...Have you ever seen a film called ninja assasin, btw? I had an idea, you see.... :3
L xxx
Cool title! I already can't wait until it's released! Somehow, methinks it involves Vile, or the Unnamed...?
Blue, he is busy with homework.
That is officially an EPIC name.
*offers cookies for everyone as we have been waiting here for hours on end*

hello!
*sings it*
WICKED!
No one mourns the wicked *hums*
I was really hoping that the title would be 'trousers' (don't think we didn't notice about the tight trousers in TEOTW, we remember the vision in DD) or 'valduggery' (heh) but this title is cool! I hope that the kingdom is literal, although a metaphorical kingdom would be good too... As long as Valkyrie and Skulduggery get to visit it, heh.
I want one of them call pleasant dreams.
But did sparky leave?!?
ALL HAIL THE GOLDEN GOD!!!
