Righto, I can finally reveal the details for the A/NZ Down Under Tour. Most of the days will be taken up visiting schools, so I'm only listing the public events which will occur in the evenings and at the weekends.
For the public signings, all you have to do is turn up and I'll sign as much as possible in the time I have- but for the public events, it might be a good idea to contact the bookshop/library/whatever as soon as possible, in order to book a place.
The Ireland and UK details will be posted when I have them.
Oh, and for those of you who entered the little short story competition on the Skulduggery website, I've just read through the finalists (30 of them) and the winners will be announced before the weekend. Some truly great work in there...

I dedicate this to friendships
Some are not worth of. Some are challenging. Some are easy. Some are the best. Some are hard, and you might think it's not worth it. But if it's hard, you're bothering to keep the friendship. That's how you know it's a good one, if you try
good ded Nix!
*keeps an eye on Flame*
*smashes the branch Cain is standing on with the force of air, causing her to drop*

Ok so ANYWAY Celine wants meh to clarifty what she wrote...I told her I doubted the mail but she didnt listen
Clarification: when Celine asked if Valkyrie would become Daraquesse she means forever. Not like when Valkyrie goes away but comes back. As in TOTAL Darquesse no getting Valkyrie back.
Gonna go to bed now
Bye!
*sighs* Msd
Night....:/
Are you leaving? If you are, night Zafira!
Nah not leaving just here its 10:49am lol
i definetly wont win that competition :/
Oh okay :) It's 12:21am on a Thursday here. Well, it's Thursday NOW...
Hi Finnick! Sure you will, I have faith. My faith is awesome
Lol I didnt get mine in...computer hated us
Good luck to those who got in :)
its 3:52pm over here
And Iriminion or are you English??
Im like the only Ameriminion on..,xD
Im special arent I and my dream was epic...but scary
There are plenty of Ameriminons
What was your dream?
from england.
I'm an Ameriminion!
Hi Random!
what to you call english minions :/ or do they not have a name
Oooh the dream was weird
So I was on Blogland and there's this post from Derek saying the Ameriminions got him to go to the USA and listed dates and states. One was in my state about 40 minutes away. I got my mom to take me. So Celine Nikki and Ali went with me. Well, we all wore nametags. We met Derek and the weird thing was Celine said I was the American Grand Mage. Then we were like last in line so somehow Celine Nikki and I were put on the American Council with our taken names and Ali was Prime Detective. I dont kniw how but it was like in a thing for KOTW like for Geffory in MC
Britminions!! :D
I think UK Minions are just Minions
Finnick- you're just Minions. you aren't special enough for a special name.
:O
So the us Ameriminions are special?? I feel loved :)
Weird dreams... What was scary about it though?
:( thats sad. i'm using Britimnions
Australiminioms are special toooooo!
yes, Zafira. we're his undercover agents. we're very special, which makes up for him not being able to come here. (he can't blow our cover.)
because we're awesome.
britminions*
The fact that in the story I was dissected by Nye....
We are special cuz one day we'll find Derek in Ireland and he cant escape us MUHAHAHAHA
i live nearer to ireland :)
find Derek..
*formulating evil plan*
he got one thing right some of us are trying to take over Ireland...
but he can't blow our cover, so we'll have to go to Ireland.
Take over Ireland? Are you a double agent? we want Derek to expand into America, not the other way around. if we take over Ireland, he might stop writing as a patriotic act! that wouldn't be good.
Then lets go to Ireland....
We're his secret henchmen and we take our job with pride!
agents, Zafira, never henchmen.
*grins* just thinking along of my brothers and sisters....(im a Necromancer)
henchmen implies low-class brutes. we are undercover agents.
It was a quote!!! xD from The Nightmare Before Christmas
And I thought Derek wanted a Munchkin Army
along of your brothers and sisters?
That was before his characters grew up.
With* oops....sry iPad auto correct
but the iPad doesn't auto-correct sry?
*crickets chirping*
since no one else is talking, i might start spouting about books i read. *conversation resumes immediately*
or not.
*SPOILER 4 ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ THE FIRST CHAPTER OF KINGDOM OF THE WICKED*
..I just wanted to say Bwahahahhah! Val got pinned my a fat guy in his underwear!
I just finished the Archer Legacy (just because I'm American doesn't mean I'll use the stupid American series title.)
and Timothy Zahn's Quadrail Saga.
Um... no response :(
Hello? Anyone?
Anyone at all?
Is Anyone there?
Hello-hello-ello-llo-lo-oo-oo.
just echoes. :-(
Im here and I had to turn off the auto correct lol. I just ignore the auto correct
Where did you all go?
you're back! where's everyone else?
Uhm.....i dunno. I think they died
wouldn't you KNOW if they died? You said you were a Necromancer secret undercover agent working for Derek.
should I be worried about being killed by someone who i wouldn't consider a possibility, like the Teleporters were?
were you just killed by Batu, too?
Ha! I noticed your quote!
And let me in on your plan!
Still nothing about Germany... ):
you're alive then. unless you're Batu, Valkyrie.
which plan? the ill-thought-out plan to take over Ireland, or the one where Ireland spreads to America?
with us, the Ameriminions as his secret undercover agents.
*Derek's
Probably both.
However, it may help that I'm going to Ireland in approximately a year...
....
So, I might be a Necromancer....but I didnt kill them!!!
*whips shadows at tree*
so you'll give your report on our performance to Derek, then? I think we're doing fairly well.
I might have killed them...
I didn't say you did. but Valkyrie can sense death around her, I assumed you could, too. unless you aren't that advanced yet. are you a Necromancer's cook, then?
You said Batu killed them!
wait...
Actually, I said that.
So, the case is still open. And so is that portal. *points at Faceless Ones portal*
Any one know where the Sceptre is?
Oh, hi, ringwraiths! maybe they crossed into middle-earth and the Wirtch-King of Angmar killed them.
(watching LOTR)
shattered, probably. wait, did the Faceless Ones kill them?
I experienced the Surge a few decades ago so yeah I'm pretty advanced. And no I dont sense death. None of them were killed.
wait, I lied. the Scepter's right here!
then who opened the portal?
Woah what?!?!?!?!?
*sees portal*
that.......is....THE portal
now you've confused me. which is what a killer would do! so you killed them!
*picks up Sceptre and kills the Faceless Ones*
*goes over to Fletcher and punches him in the face so he can't keep the portal open*
*portal closes*
VICTORY!!!
If you tell me ho killed them I'll use the Scepter and repel the Faceless ones!
*who
Valkyrie, you can't take the scepter. I said it was in my house already!
You can't use the Scepter! Only meeeeeeeeee!
well then, the world will die. better let me defeat you.
If I'm GRAND MAGE why would I kill fellow mages?! Im not Guild!
because the faceless ones are still there, even if you closed the portal.
I know how to break into someone's house very quickly and unnoticed.
*points to Random's shattered window, missing Sceptre and missing TV*
Hey, I can sorta stop the Faceless Ones. *picks up book three and throws it at Random* No need to defeat me.
Well, unless you're talking about the whole true name thing, that is...
Just tell me who killed them, and I'll stop the Dark Gods. If you don't tell me, the world will die, and Valkyrie there won't get her 11 months to mope and chase after Skulduggery's skull.
I don't have a TV!
*thunder and lightining*
Billy-Ray Sanguine.
I think Caelan killed them. He's probably trying to get his revenge on me or something... It's probably hard to as a ghost.
So I can use the scepter, of course. because you're not getting it.
I know you don't have one. I took it.
two more suspects! the world is dying, make up your mind!
I never had one!
well, not for a year or so. but the scepter's beside me, so its not taken. and I recycled the TV myself, so I know you didn't take it from me!
IT WAS CAELAN!
And if you never had a TV, then how did I find this in your house...? *TV turns into Caelan ghost*
AHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Go away Caelan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*is scary annoyed Necromancer*
but Zafira was the most likely suspect before she tried to confuse me, so I want her to admit who killed them. And Caelan's not a ghost! you haven't even met him yet. I think I'm hallucinating this conversation. The ghost haunting you is a figment of my imagination.
Zafira, are you ignoring me? tell me, or the world dies!
Random he died in DB
*looks at Derek* its obvious...
The Golden God killed them!!!!! He killed them!!! Let the Golden God come explain himself!!!!
but take your time. you have about...ten seconds.
*tilts head* I know that Caelan is a ghost. Have you not read Death Bringer?
but the portal just closed and skulduggery is *dead*, so we're in Fasceless Ones.
As a matter of fact, I haven't gotten to death bringer, but I knew what happened. I'm saying this is book three!
Oooh!!!! We in the time period...
Im telling you the Golden God did it!!!!!
*Faceless Ones
No, time moves a lot differently in Blogland. Everything kind of mashes into one.
*sees Serpine* AH! KILL IT! SOMEBODY KILL IT!
*Serpine gets eaten by giant Derek-lizard*
stop adding new suspects. I know you did it, Zafira! admit it and I'll save the world and you can go to a nice, warm, sanctuary holding cell for 11 months before your accidental execution.
the ten seconds wasn't literal, it was a quote, but you'd still better hurry. they're heading to Dublin!
derek's a lizard? now i know he didn't do it.
I DIDNT DO IT!!!!!
I dont like cells
*shadow walks*
you still haven't admitted that you didn't break into my house, Valkyrie.
you have to admit that too, or Dublin dies, followed shortly by the rest of the world.
Well, I asked him a question, it was, "Are you or are you not a giant lizard?" and he said, "I was for a time, but I changed. I changed."
So if time can mix here, then Derek can still be a giant lizard. *pets giant Derek-lizard's head*
its only for 11 months, Zafira. the Sanctuary explodes after that.
Fine, I didn't break in. My friend did. *points to Amanda*
Case closed.
but time can't mix! because I said so.
but no one broke in. I already proved that, so you have to admit that no one broke in and Zafira has to admit that she's the killer or else i'll let the Faceless Ones destroy the world!
Well I've been here since last September and since then time has been able to mix. It's not changing now.
It will always be April 22, at 5:02 in the afternoon...
Wait, no, that's Doctor Who..
But in Blogland it does.
Im not dying!!!!!
*sacrifices Derek-lizard*
derek did it!!!! Put HIM in a cell!!!
and its june.
*shrugs* Go ahead and let them. I can stop them without a weapon anyway.
but I know its you, Zafira! give it up, or Dublin will be in ruins!
blah
HOW DARE YOU SACRIFICE THE DEREK-LIZARD!!!
*tackles Zafira to the ground*
hi
and Derek's NOT A LIZARD!
meanwhile, the faceless ones are getting close to Dublin. do none of you care?
*breaks out of grip and shadow walks underground*
but Derek ate them....Derek admit it!!!!
wait, they're changing direction
they're on a ferry!
they're coming to America!
Admit it, Zafira, admit it! I don't want to make them kill America yet! it'll spoil our plans!
Derek didn't eat them and we don't have the time.
they're on Amos's boat from the Kane Chronicles! they'll be to New York in a few minutes!
DEREK ADMIT IT YOU ATE THE OTHER MINIONS!!!
*hides* no I wont admit to a crime I didnt do
don't you care about the fate of the world?
Hi people!
and you did do it!
star, I'd hide. the faceless ones are attacking and unless zafira admits that she killed all the other bloggers then I wont kill the Dark Gods with my Scepter. they're attacking New York!
