The German Tour... and Paperbacks!


Minions.

First of all, most of you have been very good about posting no spoilers in the comments section, so thank you for that. But a few of you have let some things slip, which is bad. BAD MINIONS!

Ahem.

Got the German schedule. It’s only two days, I’m afraid- not the week or two that I usually spend travelling around. The Australia/NZ tour and then the UK/Ireland tour at the start of the year meant a LOT of time away from home, so I told them I wanted everything condensed for this one. Astonishingly, they listened... probably because they realize I’ll have to start the new Skulduggery book before Christmas, and they want to keep me happy.

But I am NEVER happy.

Anyway, the German schedule --

Thursday 9th September:
11 AM
Museen Dahlem, Kunst und Kulturen der Welt, Lansstr.8, 14195 Berlin

6 PM
Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus, Friedrichstr. 90, 10117 Berlin 

Friday, 10th September:
4 PM
Katharinenschule in der Hafencity, Am Dalmannkai 18, 20457 Hamburg


Jammed in between these three events are the usual amount of travel time and media stuff, but as usual I just list the events that the public can pop along to.

With all of the signings, of course, in Germany, the UK and Ireland, I am happy to sign whatever you bring with you- time permitting. Obviously if the queue is insanely long and we have to run off to the next event, I won’t have the chance to do so, so we’ll tell everyone that I’ll only be able to sign one or two things. But usually there’s enough time for me to sign everything.

Oooh, and a few of you have seen the new design for the Dark Days paperback. The whole idea behind this new design is basically to have fun with the covers. The hardbacks will continue on as before, but the paperbacks will have a brand new image, every time, featuring Skulduggery in a cool pose. We figure most of you will be buying the hardbacks- or trade paperbacks, which are hardback sized but with the softer covers- and so you can keep that consistent cover design for your collection. But when the smaller paperbacks come out and replace the hardbacks on the shelves, we wanted a new approach to entice the readers who have never picked up a Skulduggery book.

And for the next few weeks, the only place to find these covers is over with our friends at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=188386&id=54064762985

By the way, for those of you who miss Valkyrie’s presence on the covers, I completely agree with you. I miss her too. Which is why Mr Tom Percival is working on a series of cool Valkyrie images for the backs of the books. I can’t wait for these, because we’ll really be able to see how much she grows up and changes in Tom’s artwork. And I'll also be able to get a few framed. Yay!

Alright then, I will blog once more before I head off on tour, and then I’ll do my best to blog again once I’m actually ON tour.

I swear.

I would LOVE to live in a place that rains a lot! I LOVE rain! :3

Mary Hiashi said...

Yes, rain is good. It's the skies way of releasing its burdens and renewing the land. Giving and taking. Hmmmm... at least that's what I think.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

i like the rain when its literary bouncing off the ground and creates HUGE puddles I can jump in,but I don't like it when it showers , it annoys me. for some strange reason
blessed be Miss Mary and Skyril

Harly Ryker said...

ahhh everyone! You are all so very mean!!! Please,please,please stop posting spoilers! I just want to read the book the way it's supposed to be:SPOILER FREE. So, sadly, I'm taking a hibernation from here til I've finished reading it, because I don't want it ruined anymore than it is.
Stay weird.
Harly Ryker.

YeahItsChloe said...

Haha Nicolette Croga, the spoiler part made me laugh, i'm sorry if somebody did read the spoilers we posted, but we did warn you!

You fell off your bed? Well that comment also amused me for a while xD... There are some very funny sections in the book.

Yeah, i think i'm in love with chapter 7, it's just so.... so.... awsome? Amzing? Sweet? I don't know, but i just love it too much.

*YES THERE ARE NOW SPOILERS HERE SO DO NOT READ! SKIP IT ALL!*

The cushion part made me laugh too, it was a very very good choice of weapon. I geuss he could of whacked it at Wreath a couple of times.

Hmmmm what parts do i like? I don't know really quite a few :) I love the fact that Skulduggerys facade tatoo kept moving around his head, that was some-what wierd but funny at the same time.

And i have to admit Fletcher meeting Valkyries parents was funny, her dad is so cool. The whole Valkyrie showing her knees thing. And the "It's just sticking up at odd angles! Like a demented porcupine!" about Fletchers hair also made me laugh hard.
Jeesh there's too many, i'll say one more word *grins* SCAPEGRACE.

No more spoliers now, i'm sorry 'Golden God'. So yeah a lot of funny times :') Oooh and i agree on asking Derek questions, i'd LOVE it. :)
Yesh i am your Minion Derek

Mary.Jo'xx said...

HEY.

I am soooo Jealous of Flaring and Shakra ;o Lucky bunnies!!!!!

I'm coming to see you tommorow at bluewater Derek, I'm leaving my house at 7AM. SEVEN. A. M. ...>.>!! I want to be there really early :} hehe..

***SPOILER if you haven't read The Faceless Ones or Dark Days. But there are no spoilers for those who haven't read Mortal Coil. Just me complaining***
OMG WHY!
(i promise, no spoilers from Mortal Coil. i swear. i'm just going to be in a bad mood when i see you on sunday. you have been warned.)
mr Landy i no likey Mortal Coil anymore. You can't give us that perfect scene halfway through the book, the scene we were all dying for (people who have read the book just KNOW what i mean) and then end it like that. Just like that. I was crying by the end Mr Landy, i was crying for God's sake. You can't put it like that and make me guess if it will all work out.
Ok, Faceless Ones. great, obviously, but we all KNEW that Skulduggery was going to come back. Hell-O? the series are CALLED skulduggery Pleasant. If you kill him off then you haven't got a story. So we all knew, we were all comforted by the obvious reassurance that skulduggery would come back.

Ah, i have just read comments above mine... your september the 10th idea has gone out the window (because hey, doors are for people with no imagination) but i have one question. And it's not about something you put in mortal coil, it was about what you didn't put in it!

So where, pray tell me Mr Landy, where, was this! :
'Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough'
Where was it! Huh! I don't care if i'm being a bad minion, i am an very angry minion. You end it like THAT and you don't even put ANYWHERE in the book Tanith's famous words. Anyone else notice? If they are there, comment on the page number, because i would actually love to be wrong. I seriously would.

Anyone agree?
If you don't, that's fine. Mortal Coil isn't my favourite book, it will never be my fav SP one, not EVER, but you can have your opinion. But i am absolutely sure NONE of you are happy about having to wait until April to find out what happens next - at least, that's the normal date, right?

Nope, you not getting any ex's- and - oooohs at this post not one. this minion is in a bad mood.

JUST WHY! (because i agree with Nicoletta Croga indefinitely)

Anonymous said...

AH!
my post was very long. Sorry. But i didn't put proper spoilers: i said i didn't like how it ended. so there :L
I also agree with Flying sheep too by the way. Also, the people that got into the book congrats, you lucky people xD
Ermmm... so yeah. sorry about the double post :S bie x

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

chapter 13 is up, for those who care

YeahItsChloe said...

I'm going to keep my promise, no more spoilers :D

:O Lenka, you have pointed out a very good fact about that quote! I took a while to think about it, but it's NOT IN THERE!
Whaaa? *sobs* I mean, that was Taniths main line in every book, how can it not be there?! UNFAIR!
Thats just made me upset :'(

@Littlepsychobunny, i'll read it xD... well them. I'm curious and would like to read them, so i'll do just that. :)

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

ha cool , its called the elemental's
please tell me what you think any feedback on how I could improve it would be great!

Anonymous said...

i know flying-sheep! i noticed throughout all the fight scenes she never said it. i thought it would get squeezed in at the end but it didn't :'( when i realised, i was annoyed and upset :(

@Littlepsychobunny i'll read it too xD xx

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

thanks Lenka
same goes , any feedback would be welcome

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

... was it you think skulduggery should get a gf ?

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

sorry but that would be to weird , and I don't think Val would like it lol

Anonymous said...

SPOILER i guess... it depends on your intellectual ability to read between the gaps :P
ermmmm... no. i just can't see that. :( sorry. i mean about it was mega sweet with u-know-whos and i can't believe that what happened with one of the u-know-whos ;)

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

Unknown said...

Just a random question that occurred to me:
what happens if the Reflection gets a haircut?? what happens to Valkyrie? and what if the haircut was exactly like the one like Davina Marr's???

AlexAlexAlex said...

As usual, it was a great book :)

As short as and as spoiler free as I can make it..

Caelan - Creeper. Like seriously. And I still don't know how to pronounce his name.

Tanith - Haha, brave move. As much as I liked her, I hope what happened is a permanent thing because I hate it when big things like that happen, but are just undone later.

Same goes for Kenspeckle.

Was hoping to learn slightly more about Skulduggery, I guess? I don't know. But the Valkyrie/Skulduggery scenes were, as they always are, humorous and nice. I like how it's shown how much they value eachother without it being shoved in your face every two pages.

Fletcher was kind of meh.. I don't remember him having any funny lines, which to me, is his only real purpose.

Carol and Crystal - WUT. What even happened there, I don't even..?

The ending, and I mean the last few pages were kind of vague. The guy, watching the sunrise as he dies. Skulduggery, giving some answers which I really would have liked to be a little more less vague. But I guess that's to be addressed in the next book ;)

That's all I can think of right now. I only finished reading it about an hour ago, and it arrived today, so it's all been a bit of a blur. Sorry that my immediate reaction/review is slightly more critical than the few others I've read on here, but y'know. Just being honest.

Mary Hiashi said...

I'd like to say no spoilers until October 24-ish. BECAUSE I like being on this blog but the spoilers are there and not something I want to read. BECAUSE I want to read the book. And BECAUSE it won't be out here I can't. Derek, I am thouroghly annoyed. And because you are the author of this brilliant novel, I shall complain to you. My brother just told me that I should write about everything we do. EVERYTHING! What kind of an absurd idea is that! I don't apprieciate it.

Anyway, I hade some great fish and chips tonight. And the sides that came with it... Personally I had a salad and fries. (Yeah they give you two.) There was SO much food. I mean sweet bejesus.

I just read a few of Derek's other blogs. Yes I laughed. Especially where he said that he spends his precious time eating cheese. I love cheese. And one of my normal responses is "Cheese is delicious." The other is "Diddly-doo potato." Don't ask. And then I read about him reading Fullmetal Alchemist, but I believe that the Anime was better. (Not the Brotherhood one though. I can't watch that. Aaron Dismuke was replaced due to that little thing that happens when you get older.)

Derek. If you get the bookstores here in Canada to release the book early, or maybe send me a copy; (Either or is good with me.) I'll mention SP in the book I'm writing and I'll even add you to the acknowledgements. I'm sure you'd be thrilled if I did. I just know it. Because I am amazing, wonderful, a gift of whatever god or gods you believe in. Maybe, Mr. Landy, you are so jealous of me that you refuse to let Mortal Coil be relased early here in Canada. Or maybe you're just being mean. Messing with our emotions over here.

I don't apprieciate it sir.

Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Alexander. said...

ok ok *tries to calm Mary Hiashi* i understand its your quote, but i will sneak it in one of my short stories :P - and why dont you use the bleach myth, hollows and shinigami? - or evil spirits and the keepers of the spirit world???

*laughs maniacally* well could you give me some help as to how to start my book, if u comment on one of my posts in my blog ill give u my plot line (i dont want to share it with the world :P) and yeah....im too young and hopeless, but you, miss, are a triumphant savior whom i need help from! please when you can :) give me a comment or an email :D:D:D:D:D!

Mary Hiashi said...

And how the heck do you email people. I'm a little old fashioned and JUST figured out this blogging business. Now you expect me to email you? I think I might have it but I'm unsure. Again, before you get any ideas on my IQ, and god forbid if you think anything less than it is... I'M OLD FASHIONED.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Alexander. said...

haha if u wanna email me theres alot of ways to do it :) - easiest is hotmail.com - put in your email, and password and then write a new one, then send it to megaflare95@msn.com - Just how old are you? - U better not be an internet-predator looking for your next fix of young child livers O.o - joking! (may have gone a bit overboard with the livers) - but yeah its pretty simple, if u cant get it just google how to send an email XD

Mary Hiashi said...

Not a creeper, I assure you. I swear on Ashtoreth's name that I'm not. And I won't tell you my age 'else that I obtain a creeper myself. Though I'd be flattered that out of billions he'd pick me, I would really not want that. I also wrote a very long and meaningful one of these, but my internet died. So I shall try again.
Blessed be,

But on another note...
WEEKEND HOMEWORK? GAHHHHHH! SCREW THAT! I NEED TO RELAX! MY OVER-WORKED BRAIN IS GOING TO MELT AND COME OUT OF MY EARS! I CAN'T WORK! I NEED TO SLEEP! AND EAT! AND BLOG! AND MESS AROUND! (Not nessacerily in that order though.) BUT I CAN'T WORK! ARE YOU INSANE?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FREAKING MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND?!?!?!?!

Rebella Tears said...

how it goin peoples, some1 calm Ebony down.

Mary Hiashi said...

Damnation, I wrote "that" far too many times for my liking. And I keep losing what I write. It's very dissapointing. Alexzz, your stories are pretty good so far but you do need to work on a few things. The good things are as follows: POV, constant 'voice', various selection of words, plot, and explanation. The things you need to work on are: Pace of overall story, and in some areas repetitively using words such as "as".

Yes, I have once again used Derek Landy's comment section as a way to converse with my fellow commenters and maybe give them device. And no Derek, you are not upset that I did this. You may also still think that you are better than me but that is clearly because we haven't met. If we did, you'd understand completely.

Also, I'd like to give an example of my wonderfulness. I can become friends with the people around me without lifting a finger or saying a word. People would glady fight for me with nothing but air passing between my lips. You're basking in my greatness aren't you? I'll allow so have no fear.

Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Mary Hiashi said...

And I meant "advice" not "device".

TRIVIA QUESTION!
For the million-dollar prize...
When Valkyrie was in her uncle's house and her mother called to see how she was, Valkyrie's mother asked if she was reading her uncle's book, and Valkyrie lied, saying no, that she was instead reading a dictionary. She said "Did you know-" what? "-is a word?"
IDK, I'm a bit bored xD

Why don't you just email me so I can email you back, or whatever.

On another note...
Dear Derek;
Not to down-play the awesomeness of the new covers, but personally I liked the style of the original cover for the first book best.

Im going out to dymmocks in the city to get MORTAL COIL today XD

Mary Hiashi said...

Yay! I won. And I just read it Hellboy. Not bad. Not bad. Two words of warning. One, avoid fairies. Two, don't watch all three Lord of the Rings movies in one day. And I'd also like to say this. Ironic is drowning in your glass of aqua vitae.
Miss Mary Hiashi

Mary Hiashi said...

I saw the covers or whatever. They are alright. It kind of made me imagine Skulduggery walking into a studio and the person there saying, "Alright, so I want you to stand like this and maybe..."

Mary Hiashi said...

Oh, and it's in your own glass.

turns out im not going to the city. instead im going to the plaza for fathers day :(

Mary Hiashi said...

I shall bid all of you adieu for the night as I seek the comforts of my bed. I rough quote (All the quotes I say on here are either from memory or made up) "Close your eyes but keep your mind wide open." It's from Bridge to Terabithia. And how about a random Shakespeare (Shakespeare is a bit of a pervert) quote. "Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo? Refuse thy father and deny thy name? Or if thou shall not, then I shall no longer be a Capulet." Or something like that.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

AHHH!! WHY DEREK? WHY?? im not opposing to the fact youve become more ruthless with the killings off, but WHY THOSE FEW PEOPLE???

o and i like the Val + Caelan bit at the beginning... :)

but, id rather have Fletcher- he isnt as, like, WHEE I LUVU GIS A KISS OR DIE!!!

o yh and like my bro came up when i was reading a certain part, saw the horror on my face and quickly dissapeared again...

OMBG I LOVED THE ENDING BIT WITH THE RECEPTACLE!! there was so much EEEEVIL!!

Val's dad is even more kid-like than mine, and that is saying something.

right needing to go cos my mum is eviling me :(

WHOOHOOO!! MORTAL COIL IS GREAT!! no spoilers here...

Red Right Hand said...

Congrats on Mortal Coil
Straightforward book, no crap, you know?

Unknown said...

Boy eats girl, realy? Thats very PUNny of you...


Goodness that joke was AWFUL.

Any who, 1 question, have you/ how many times have you googled yourself?

Anonymous said...

nicola- alot :P the results don't seem to change though

Hellboy- I promise, my posts don't mention any names, or dramatic things or what specifically happened. Then just say i don't like the ending. I only mentioned Tanith because she never says 'Come and Have a go if you think you're hard enough' anywhere in the book. (you'll notice it too) xD So don't worry too much about any of my future posts: i've complained enough
xox

Star Lord said...

YEEESSS!!!!!
I'M ON PAGE 275 on MORTAL COIL!!
I'm going on Xbox LIVe now to see if there are any SMSD demos.

Rebella Tears said...

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS TO TANITH!!!!!!!!!!?????????
Hellboy and I are suffering you monsters, you ... you... you faceless ones
EVIL

Nibs said...

I FINISHED MORTAL COIL! :)
It's totally AWESOMATIC!
Don't worry I'm not posting any spoilers! I'm a GOOD Minion! :)
So since I've read it I have a question totally not relating to the book by giving away any unwanted informaion called "spoilers"!

Did you used to watch Ren and Stimpy? "Happy Happy Joy Joy"
And also... Have you read/seen The Princess Bride?

Well, Sin é!
Slán!

Valkyrie said...

slight spelling errors. LOL!!!!!!!!!! everyone makes spelling errors

Ebony Orvil said...

nicolette croga i couldn't agree more!


THIS IS BAD! I am trying to save mortal coil but I just CAN'T!! It's really annoying I am more than halfway through it now and I REALLY don't want to finish it too soon. I hope it isn't a cliffhanger ending like dark days and the return of the faceless ones!

Valkyrie said...

i couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!

-HB/Joe- said...

argh! same here, odile. i know i should wait...but...

i got it earlier and held off for 3 hours. then i couldnt stand it and started reading. 1 hour in and im on the same page as sarthacus bolt (75)

hellboy

-HB/Joe- said...

READ THE LATEST PART IN MY FAN-FICITON!

http://susurrusofstories.blogspot.com/

READ IT!

Mary Hiashi said...

See, it may seem like I am being horrible but I am not. I have been venting my frusturations. Like not being able to read Mortal Coil for one. And being horribly dissapointed by Mockingjay. WHY? Why Peeta? I... I... *Mental Breakdown* I also have to update my fanfiction. And keep writing this story of mine.

I also think I checked into the looney bin a loooooonnnnnngggggggggggggg time ago. Reassuring huh?

*Snickers*

Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

hmm Miss Mary , how long has it been since you had C.A.T scan, just wondering lol

Mary Hiashi said...

I've NEVER had one. So yeah.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Star Lord said...

HA!!
Sorry, Laura, I know what you look like: go onto the facebook thing up top, and look at the other pics!

Star Lord said...

Page 317...

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

ha lol

hey everyone boredom has kicked in, maybe I can finish writing chapter 14 without crying

hey Miss Mary have you read my story the Elementals, it isn't fan fiction

Mary Hiashi said...

No, sorry. I've meant to but this whole not being able to read Mortal Coil is BOTHERING me. *Breaths in and out slowly* "I'm good. I'm not THAT upset. We're fine. Just breathe Mary. Just breathe." *Starts crying* But I'll... I'll try.
Blessed be,
M...Miss Mary Hiashi

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

*gives you giant chocolate cookie* damn i hate it when people cry lol

Mary Hiashi said...

I think I'll be fine, I just have to breathe. And I just read your first chapter. Very good so far, but again there are a few things to be fixed. One or two spelling mistakes, a few areas that needed a bit more punctuation and capatilization, also you had it so "Talking. Rowan said./ Saying stuff meanly. Rowan hissed." yeah. If you understand what I'm saying. You don't need to keep saying how they respond like "she hissed. She said. She spat..." Sorry for not making much sense. Other than that, VERY good. Nice descriptions, story pace, intro, comedy bits, characters, etc.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

thanks I will re-read it and correct what must be corrected *tips hat*

Mary Hiashi said...

Good to hear. And don't worry, even the best authors have mistakes. I'd know.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Mary Hiashi said...

Alright, my advice to you Psychobunny remains the same for all the chapters.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

thanks Miss Mary and you've got me interested
how do you know? (no offence meant in any way just curiosity)

Mary Hiashi said...

If you read some stories. The Hunger Games, Inkheart, even in some SP books. You'll find a spelling mistake or two, even though the authors had checked and had others check. I myself, have had a few issues. And reading one of my pieces that I wrote (I won an award for it and I recieved 100 dollars for it. Woooo! Even though it's not much. But in my defense I didn't even read the thing until a month after I recieved the published thing of it. So... I read it about 4 months later.) I saw that there was a few mistakes.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

hmm cool

Mary Hiashi said...

If that's what you were asking. Hopefully.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Geckogirl said...

hellooooo!
i just finished the fifthe book about 3 hours ago *smug smile* i finished it in under 24 hours (only stopping to eat and sleep and i only slept for 7 hours)
loved it!
loved it!
loved it!

soooooo gooooooood!

BUT i think we should start seeing a bit more into skulduggery's past a little more now. i am extreamly curious and Valkrie's taking up to much book time in my opinion, i think skulduggery should have a bit more screen time (just my opinion!)

now im offically going to rant (not about skulduggery plesant but still on the theme of books here)

*cough cough cough*

How many of you have read twilight? Well i walked into waterstones today and read the blurbs of some vampire books. at least 10 of them had almost identical plots to twilight.

How many of you have read Fallen? about the fallen angel love story thing?
i saw 3 other books with the exact same story.

How many of you have read the house of night? once again i see books almost IDENTICAL!

AND HOW ABOUT THE ZOMBIE BOOKS!? HMM? I READ A BIT OF A BOOK (FORGOTTEN THE NAME SOZ, I DIDNT FINISH IT COZ IT WAS TO SCARY) AND IT WAS ABOUT ALL KIDS UNDER 14 BEING FINE AND ALL THE ADULTS TURNING INTO ZOMBIES. i saw the EXACT same thing. exactly exept the kids were aged 15 and under NOT 14.

EVEN THE HUNGER GAMES!! MY SECOND FAVORITE SERIES OF BOOKS! i saw a book about a bunch of kids put in a maze with mutant animals and horrors and stuff. sound kinda familiar?

the only book that i havent seen anything like is Skulduggery plesant. but its still only a matter of time before someone else thinks of a witty detective with a teenage side-kick (yes authors, i know what your plotting!)

AUTHORS OF THE WORLD!!!!! STOP. COPYING EACHOTHERS IDEAS!!!! JUST STOP IT!!! ALMOST THE BOOKS I READ ARE THE SAME, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

THINK OF SOMETHING NEW FOR CRIST'S SAKE! I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT IM SICK TO DEATH WITH BELLAS AND EDWARDS, ADULT ZOMBIES AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN, FALLEN ANGELS AND GIRLS WEEPING OVER THEIR BEUATY!
ANYONE WITH ME??? PLEASE LET SOMEONE AGREE WITH ME?

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU AUTHORS DON'T START WRITING SOMETHING NEW FAST, IM GONNA BET YOU TO IT, AND IM ONLY 13 YEARS OLD.

(just for the record Mr.Landy i was not directing this at you, just other authors coz ur amazing ovs)

there rant over.
sorry, i just couldn't help myself.

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

i agree with you
Gekogirl I know what you mean
but do you realise House of night was written before twilight and I have to admit they are one of my favourite books also the story for me is completely different.
however have you noticed how many vampire love werewolf love and angel love books have came out since twilight the amount is completely ridiculous!!!

Geckogirl said...

THANKYOU littlepsycobunny!
erm and yeah i agree with you about the house of night it is completly differant to twilight, but i have seen lots of books copying the house of night series aswell, one called vampire high or something.

Geckogirl said...

and it is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS I SAYYYYYY!

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

and I say
* starts chanting down with twilight over and over* lol
Lizzy i commented on your post

hudson said...

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

Harly Ryker said...

OHMYHOLYFREAKINGSNOOKERDOODLESPRETTYPONYUNICORNPRINCESS.
DEREK, IMMA KILL YOU AND PRAISE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU!!!!!!!!!
It was like,amazing beyond words. Some scenes had me all pumped and ready to fight,others had me smiling like mad,others had me crying like mad,and when I finished I was confused. And had questions.
HOW COULD YOU, DEREK?!?!?! You are so in for it in Derry. I mean, He may not have been a main main charry, but did occur to you that someone called Harly Ryker liked him!?!?!?!?But don't bring him back. It would be strange.
And I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW ITTTTTTT!!!!
From the moment they met, I knew they'd be together, for however long.*glares at Derek.* And I'm not talking about Fletch and Val.
btw, their scenes were sooo cute! But I can't believe she calls him Fletch. I just can't.
The fight scenes were awesome,and I loved how you didn't know who they were going to fight next.
There wasn't as many funny bits I thought, But I think it's because the story was Darker and more grusome.
And I actually loved that Carol and Crystal got somes spotlight time!
Best quote from they had to be:
"Stephenie,Why are you beating up a policeman?"
HA, That cracked me up so much.
Clarabelle has Wellies with cows on them.That I suspected.
Caelan is creeptacula. Forget dracula,it's Creeptacula. BUNNYBOILER STALKER BOY,MUCH!??!?!
And I love Tanith. I will always have faith in her, So you better bloody bring her back!!!
Derek,if you keep going through people the rate you are, no one's going to be alive.Do remember you have four other books.
It was really amazing,though. But I'm still sad.
stay weird.
Harly Ryker.

Alex Smith said...

I'd love to read a prequel set in the days of the war, following the exploits of Skulduggery and Ravel and co. It would be entitled 'Dead Men', obviously.

Also, are you ACTUALLY a golden god, or is it really just a golden layer of paint over a cheap brass interior?

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

HEY DEREK I CAME TO SEE YOU TODAY!!! :D ..

It was at your second signing on the other side of london!! :D

I know there were loads of kids there but I think you might remember me I was wearing a black top with roses on and 3 quarter lengh trousers and white shoes which you complemented me on ( thanks for that :] ) and when you told me you had a similar pair I went woorring" :]

oh and righ at the start you ask if any one had hany irish family and I was the first kid you talked to and I said my mum and when you asked if the ladt next to me was my mum and i said no you went "awwqwerd" lol :]

I'm sooo glad I could come today, it really made my day :] honestly we had to take the under ground and and hour and a half long train journey to get there but it was worth it .. we were half a minute late for our return train but that was ok becaue I just sat at a table for an hour looking at your signinter in awe ..

and your VERY amazing drawing of skulduggery ;] .. which doen't look like a mushroom at all .. seriously the more i look at it the cooler it gets ..

before I go I just want to say ... PLEASE READ THIS COMMERNT OH GOLDEN GOD IT WOULD MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME!

-munchkin ninga penguin says zzzzzz

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

p.s. DEREK!! if you still cant remember who I am I was the one that made you laugh by going meeeeeeeeeer :] when you wouldn't give back my newly sighned book :]

Mary Hiashi said...

I know this is a 'twee bit late but... I agree one hundred percent with Geckogirl. Psychobunny, congrats on your name. Derek, I am still horribly upsot (where is that word from again?). I want that damn book. I WANT to know what happens. And when you read how unhappy I am, you'll laugh won't you? You want to see me lose my mind. I know. But, you won't, not entirely. Too late for that I fear.

If I do not get that book soon, I'll magician my way over to wherever you are and sick my army of spiders and ickapeeds on you. (They are not actually called ickapeeds but you'd agree with me if you saw one. How about I even give you a link:
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/whit1019/centipedes/House_centipede.jpg
It only looks like they're hairy, but the worst part is you KNOW they're not.) And the spiders will mostly consist of wolf spiders. And my second in command will be a spider monkey. "But that's not a..." "Shut up would you." It'll be glorius. You'll cower under your bed, but there will be nary a place for you to hide. Hmmm... because they can be anywhere and everywhere. I scared you now, didn't I?

But what about Tuck Everlasting? Who here has read it? It's by Natalie Babbitt. It's a little sad. Ooooooh, I'm watching Clash of the Titans right now. 'Tis odd. And Alexzz hasn't emailed me like promised. Tick tock, tick tock. Time's running 'round the clock. *Giggles*

And I love fanfiction.net.

Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Mary.Jo'xx said...

Hahaa, Derek, I got you to sign one of my playing cards today, do you remember that? You drew a cool picture of you on it ;D!

They are Delphians lucky cards ;D

Are you alright Genma?

Mary Hiashi said...

Sorry, Gemma. "Bad fingers."
Anyway, I wrote a really short and random story. (Not a fanfic) and if you'd like to read it here is the link:
http://blogsalotaboutnothing.blogspot.com/
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Mary Hiashi said...

I came to town to search for gold
And I brought with me a memory
And I seem to hear the night wind cry,
"Go hang your dreams on the hangin' tree
Your dreams of love that could never be
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin' tree!"

I searched tor gold and I found my gold
And I found a girl who loved just me
And I wished that I could love her too
But I'd left my heart on the hangin' tree
I'd left my heart with a memory
And a faded dream on the hangin' tree.

Now there were men who craved my gold
And meant to take my gold from me
When a man is gone he needs no gold
So they carried me to the hangin' tree
To join my dreams and a memory
Yes they carried me to the hangin' tree.

To really live you must almost die
And it happened just that way with me
They took the gold and set me free
And I walked away from the hangin' tree
I walked away from the hangin' tree
And my own true love, she walked with me!

That's when I knew that the hangin' tree
Was a tree of life, new life for me
A tree of hope, new hope for me
A tree of love, new love tor me
The hangin' tree, the hangin' tree, the hangin' tree!

Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi

Star Lord said...

WE WANT A CURE!! WE WANT A CURE!! WE WANT A CURE!! DEREK YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AND WHOM I'M DIRECTING THE CURE ATN FROM SP!!

Here's the song that reminds me of the sad things in SP:

Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against

Lyrics:
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
Ill tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!

Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!

Down!

We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.

But weve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
Weve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything youve known.

Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!

Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!

So open your eyes child,
Lets be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer,
Well sing through the day,
Of the lives that weve lost,
And the lives weve reclaimed.

Go!

Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!

Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!

Dont hold me up
(I dont need your help, Ill stand my ground)
Dont hold me up
(I dont need your help)
No! No! No!
Dont hold me up!
(I dont need your help, Ill stand my ground)
Dont hold me up!
(I dont need your help)
Dont let me down, down, down, down, down!

Mary.Jo'xx said...

Yess! He did indeed ;D It's my second book signing of his I went to :} I got him to sign one of Delphians lucky cards (It's a set of playing cards) and he drew a cool drawing of him ;D hahaa Go Derreeekkkk(Y)
