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.

With instruments.
Btw, I'm writing /your/ story, again.
The one where I walked to a window?
Because that one was REALLY exciting.
Did you die or something? You're all quiet.
*runs intro tree*
*chops tree down so it falls on Zafira*
Owww!!
ASSULT ON A SANCTUARY AGENT!!'
Oh yeah.
That.
Yes, the window one.
It's brilliant.
Eve's after arriving at your door.
DON'T LET HER STEAL MY BLOOD.
Zaf - I'M A SANCTUARY AGENT TOO
Meh!
*kicks Ivy in the knee, and she buckles to the ground*
*throws fire at Zaf*
I didn't buckle, I tripped!
*chucks a chair at Flame*
*eats it*
Passing over Fred's left buttock..

I guess I'll go...

Bai Flame
*hums to self*
You know, Derek, you should sell some SP merch. I need a tee shirt but like a good one. Not a crappy one.
Bloglanders reckon you're afraid of them. Apparently, Becky is living in your toilet, just thought I'd mention it.
Ameriminions are a different species.
Amusing, this conversation is.
Fabi - An ameriminion said that to me. I'm quoting our skype conversation.
Ah.
*laughs hysterically* Em swears so much
Now we're talking over the semantics of vampire sex. What is this conversation?
HOMEWORK HELP CLUB.
JOIN THE CLUB I NEED HELP
XD Go on, what is it?
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/18/us/poll-shows-school-shooting-sways-views-on-guns.html?ref=todayspaper&_r=1&
I need to summarize this in five sentences and decide if it violates rights.
Semantics of vampire sex?
And they blame me for the sex talks...!
Do you think it violates rights?
*grins at Flame* They're silly.
I'm going to bed night.
Me too, night!
Rain rain go away come again another day...
*realizes what she just said*
I DON'T WANNA BE NEXT!!! D: , /
But it is raining... I wish it were snow...
IT'S NOT SPRING YET!
Oh, and hi. If there's anyone on.
Wbd, so if anyone does come on, might not answer right away. But I'm still here.

Hi, Lav! I'm also distant...
Hey Fabi!
Do you have Skype? Cause if you do, and you have some Bloglandians as contacts, just warning that it's crazy in there!
I don't have Skype...
I bet it is, though.
I can never multitask.
If I'm here, I can't be there...
Talking in two places at once gets me confused. :P
In other words, I'm here.
Yeah.
*sighs*
What am I getting myself into...
*spooks voice*
Join us Fabi...
Sounds like the end of several MC chapters...
I multitask a lot...I am doing three things now, drawing a graphs thing, listening to Hayley Westenra music and talking on here. Talking in two places at once, though, that sounds harder.
Hi, Em [hugs]
I don't have Skype, sorry.
Then gets it lol
I think I've bugged my parents enough for the weekend...
*laughs at Em's spooks voice*
Hi Em. :)
Yeah, I may have started it with my first chapter... Said that at the end.
Well, it seemed appropriate for the situation, then appropriate for another situation, et cetera. I think I've used it twice... Fabi and A. both wonder what they're getting into.
My sister woke me up at eight! EIGHT!! Because her friend was picking her up!!! She wouldn't let me sleep!!!
*Falls over sleeping*
Hmm...
*sighs*
Maybe I should just say it now. I think I've put it off too long.
Hi Death.
*puts a blanket over her and a pillow under her head*
Hi, Death!
What, Lav? Are you okay?
Well, there's another reason I've been having these mood swings...
Yesterday, I actually felt like myself...
I can only be a regular here until the end of the month. Once Febuary begins, I'm not sure when I'll come back on...
There's more to it, but I think I'll just leave it at that... The rest is complicated.
My brother stole my blanket!!!
And then he bit my leg!!!!
Oh. [hugs Lav]
I think I'm going to email Star...
Very distant.
*Hugs Lav*
Ouch, why'd he do that, Death?
Maybe not so very distant... Atm.
He BIT your LEG?
Yes, he bit it because I was trying to get my blanket back and he is a bloody skitzo!
Going very distant now, and msd.
I don't like leaving without saying bye, so if I do disappear, I'll come back as soon as I can. Which might not be so soon...
Okay, what were people talking about on the top of the page?!
[Sarcastically] What a delightful way of expressing his opinion.
In that case,
EMERGENCY BYE!
This online genie thing that guesses characters.
He had epilepsy when he was younger so I guess it's not too unhim...
en.akinator.com
*Laughs*
Really? What site?
*Laughs*
Really? What site?
I got a random person named Andy Gavin following me on twitter...
*is creeped*
Who is he???
Forget that last comment!
No idea, Lav. Yeah, it is creepy.
This is the site address, Death.
http://en.akinator.com/
I wish I knew... But I don't.
Sorry Lav!
Oh, oops. Didn't notice Fabi already had it. Sorry, Fabi. ^^'
Yeah, but it says he's supposedly a fantasy paranormal novelist...
Who also created a video game or something.
*whispers*
How can I have him unfollow me?
Thanks!! Downloading it on my phone now!!
I don't have twitter... If I did I would help...
I don't know, Lav. Never read his books/played his game, either. To my knowledge, anyway.
It's possible it was a misclick, and he'll unfollow you himself...
I barely use twitter!
Well, okay, I have followed some people of my own, but I have no idea-
It also says that Micheal Scott follows him... Can't be too bad I guess... Micheal Scott's the author of the Series of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel books.
There should be a 'block' button, idk where, though.
I think I'll be okay now... Sorry for the randomness. ^^'
Thanks for trying to help.
I don't really do twitter, just got an account to follow Derek.
"Does your character wear a hat?"
Hmmm? Does skulduggery wear a hat? OF COURSE!!
It won't show me unless I have the full version!
*Mutters*
Stupid rip off...
Gotta go now. Bye!
:)
Bye, Lav!
Bye Lav!!
Is the app faulty or something?
OMG!! It got Hugh Jackman!!!!
The last of these comments will be filled with... Penguins.
I got the free version so I can't see EVERYONE I can just see popular ones!
I shall try Derek now...
*Smiles evily*
It couldn't get Scapegrace, and needed two tries on Dogberry.
