Apologies for the lapse in communication. A lot of stuff has happened/is happening and it's hard to find the time to Blog and think about business stuff and writerly endeavours. That said, I'm still hurtling through Book 8- I think I've got a third of it done, which is good news.
Let's see... Okay, on February 20th I'll be in London as part of the Imagine Festival. I''m going to be talking about the movies that have influenced Skulduggery, and showing trailers/scenes as we go. Expect a LOT of awesome 80's movies. You can book your tickets now.
On the 7th of March I'll be at the Riverbank Arts Centre in Kildare, interviewing Alex Barclay on stage about her fantasy novel for younger readers, Curse of Kings. Alex writes some of my favourite crime novels, and she's also a very good friend of mine, and you'll be hearing a lot more from me about Curse of Kings in the next few weeks.
On the 9th of March, I'll be in Derry, the City of Culture, doing... something. For 600 people. So... there's that. Book now! If you can find out what I'm doing. Because I haven't a clue.
In April, for The Maleficent Seven release, I'll be in Dublin and Cork and Galway and Stratford and Milton Keynes and, ulp, Norwich. Where SHE lives.
Oh, and last but not least, Twitter. Here is the official announcement:
I will tweet this Saturday, the 19th, at EXACTLY 9 PM Irish time.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013

You've been caught in a lie!
You can't deny it!
So let the war begin
You're far from innocent
Hell I just don't know where it will end!
You are the one to blame
You've made a habit of fucking up my life . . . (OW!)
Another fallacy
Is laid in front of me
Now I just don't know what to believe
Another animal
Sent to devour whatever's left inside . . .
I know now!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
Awoke to discover, you leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now
A mortal enemy
Has been revealed to me
How come I wasn't able to see?
Another vampire
Getting a fix from sucking up my life . . . (OW!)
An evil entity
Had taken hold of me
Ripped out my heart
And started to feed
I still remember when
I thought that all you were eating
Was my pride . . .
I know now!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
Awoke to discover, you leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now
This idiot won't let me go
Slowly penetrating the mind
I tell you now, my little puppet
You'll suffer me
You don't want to let me go
Till I've taken over your life
I'll ensure you survive
Little puppet don't die!
Let me, let me die!
Little puppet don't die!
Let me, let me die!
Little toy don't die!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
Awoke to discover, you leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
Awoke to discover, you leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now
THAT'S AWESOME JUBI. :)

Star, did you need a name for a tribute?
*has just found her HG notes*
YAY! CLEMY NOT NEGLECTED! :)
Innocent civilian: *hears me,say 'neglected'* That's an awfully big word for a thirteen-year-old.
Me: Actually, it's not. It's fairly standard. Also, I'm fourteen. Also, your beard's stupid. *is actually fourteen*
Civilian: *frowns* What beard? I don't have a beard.
Me: You do. It's just invisible. Which is why it's stupid. What kind of beard is invisible? You may as well not HAVE a beard.
Civilian: But I DON'T have a -
Me: *disappears*
I DID, SCÁTH! :)
Male tribute from District 8. :)

Ember, I can't actually remember...
No, I mean who is Hidalgo?
Hhehehhe
1 hr and a half to go! Im waiting...
Oh my god i can hardly wait
I have a tab open purely just for dereks twitter page ...
Ember; Sorry, my internet cut out just as I finished the comment. Hidalgo Bolt is mentioned in Mortal Coil by China as being ‘a handsome young man’ who blushes when he talks to her, and then again in DB because he wants to dance with Val. She says he’s cute, but doesn’t dance with him because Skul tells her that even though he looks to be about 18/19, he’s actually in his fifties. Because we don’t know much about him, Death and I decided that he carries an umbrella.
I got the app so all i have to do is refresh it non stop from 3:57pm til he Tweets
*goes to open Derek's twitter*
Party Rock Anthem's on the radio! :D *does the shuffle really badly*

His thing is @DerekLandy he has an egg with green backround
He's @DerekLandy on twitter :) I can't give the link at the minute, sorry... :(

http://wheresmysammich.com/picture/33513/let-me-put-my-wand../

He really is oblivious to the amount of followers he has
I just saw the pic *laughs* *facepalms*

I want to follow him... but I'm not allowed to set up a twitter account without mum *rolls eyes*

It would be really weird if I wasnt on the blog atleast every two or three days because I love talking to you all and hearing about your stories and randomness whether its good or bad, you all are supportive and halarious and AMAZING! and I also want to ded to dereks first tweet!!
:D
*story
ROBIN IT'S LIKE... GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! :O

Great ded Mel!
*is shaking* I hate earthquakes. That one only lasted a few seconds though, and it was quite little...
Hi Sapphy! *hugs* Glad you're feeling better! :)
Epic ded Mel
*hugs Mara back* Thanks :)
[is distant, plotting]
I'm on twitter right now. Staring at the screen.
I don't even have Twitter.
Me neither Robin xD
I don't have Twitter either Robin...
Aftershock! But that was so little, I couldn't even be bothered getting out of bed
Sapphire - there was an earthquake?
The only earthquakes here are the ones caused by lots of tap shoes...
Fabi; Lol :)
Robin; a really small one, yeah. Just a tremor, maybe a 3.2 or something.
Gtg and have breakfast I'll be back for the tweet!
I dont get earthquakes or volcanoes erupting and we dont get tornadoes either because Im not on the line thingy that seperates something...I dont know I didnt listen in 1st year geoghraphy... no one did...
Well, when you're right below them, it feels like an earthquake... Whoever had the idea to put the tappers upstairs was wrong.
Bye, Saphy!
I'm near-ish to a volcano. Also there was an earthquake when I was maybe 4...?

I TOTALLY ROCK.
OMFG THANK YOU DEREK. I CAN LOOK UP THE BOYS' TWITTER ACCOUNTS WHILE WAITING FOR THE TWEET.
Besides the Tardis Lamp and Sonic screwdriver what else Doctor Who thing should i get?
*corrects Melica* We have very few earthquakes and volcanoes in the UK because we are not located near a plate boundary. However, we still feel the occasional slight temor because P-waves, or longitudinal waves, can travell through the Earth's core, so we can feel the temors from the P-waves of other earthquakes. We can also feel S-waves (transverse waves) sometimes, but very rarely as they cannot travel through the Earth's core as they cannot travel through liquid and the outer core is liquid.
I paid attention! I found it interesting, coz I'm such a nerd. :P
Andddd gtg. :( Fours!
Oh then yeah thats what it is...
[Blinks at block of words and scientific terms]
Hi/bye, Star!
Bye Star! *hugs*
