Ireland/UK Tour

Okay then, here comes the places I'll be visiting in the Ireland/UK part of the tour. As mentioned previously, these will be weekend affairs- from Fridays to Sundays (mostly)- and they'll mainly consist of public signings.

30 Aug - 3 Sept:
Dublin
Bray
Drogheda
Cork

7 Sept - 9 Sept:
London
Bournemouth
Southampton

13 Sept - 15 Sept
London
Birmingham
Liverpool

And I'll also be appearing at the Bangor Literature Festival, the Mountains to the Sea festival in Dublin, and the Cheltenham festival.

The fact that I can't visit EVERYWHERE is always a shame, but we do try and spread the love as much as possible. This time around, my publishers took into account that I'd be in Australia/NZ for the previous two weeks, so I reckon they took pity on me. Maybe it was all the manly crying I did. We'll never know...



Eagle-eyed Irish readers may also have noticed that I shall be appearing on the "Celebrity Mastermind" quiz show, starting on TV3 this Sunday. I'm not sure what episode I'm on (I think it airs on July 1st but I'm not sure). For those who don't know, Mastermind is a show where you are asked questions about a chosen topic, and then you're asked general knowledge questions. I'm not going to say ANYTHING about what happened (we recorded it a few weeks ago) so you'll just have to watch to see how well I did. Or not, as the case may be. Ahem.


Let's see, anything else...

The Forums are back up, thanks to a load of readers who chipped in and paid the website domain fee. You Minions are amazing, you really are. Anyone who hasn't visited really should, if only to raise an eyebrow or two at the topics being discussed...! skulduggeryforums.co.uk.


Oh, and sometime soon (don't know exactly when) we'll be releasing Chapter One of Kingdom of the Wicked for you to read over at skulduggerypleasant.com, a chapter entitled "The Butterfly and the Wolf"...

The only bad thing about tomorrow is I have homework due, there's going to be maths, and it's a day closer to my horrible, gruesome end

Eve the ROCK said...

But the MATHS...

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Nixion Strange said...

My library is finally catching up on Skulduggery Pleasant

Eve the ROCK said...

My library has two Skulduggery books

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Nixion Strange said...

The stupid trailer is out for the stupid movie
I'm just stating my opinion, which is followed by almost every guy and almost every adult.

Eve the ROCK said...

Almost every adult? Not really

Nixion Strange said...

Eve, have you seen reviews? 9 out of 10 hate it
Or in some places, 8 out of 10

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm not talking about the critics

I'm talking about the adults in my family and neighbourhood

Except for the guys, of course

Nixion Strange said...

Adults in my family and neighbourhood hate it

Eve the ROCK said...

Well, I know HEAPS who love it, so don't go saying almost everyone hates it

I think I'm seeing Snow White and the Huntsman soon :D

Nixion Strange said...

Well, I'm just saying a know about three people out of a couple of hundred who like it. The rest hate it

Selena Gasp said...

Hello Miss Cain, Wait, did anyone notice I was gone?

Drew O'Connor said...

I'm so glad that you like the rest of Chapter 4 guys. It took a lot of hair pulling and struggling but I got there lol
And I'm proud that I did the necromancy part kinda proud.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Selena Gasp said...

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Selena Gasp said...

Hi Emerald. Thanks Miss Cain. * sits down next to tree and starts sobbing, no body wants meeeeeeeeee*

Helena Ember Sky said...

Miss Cain! Emerald! By the way Emerald I've wanted to tell you for a long time that your name is great. Miss Cain, a question, why did you choose Miss Cain?

Selena Gasp said...

*Sob* What are *sob sob* strawberry * sob, sob wail* extra chewies?** sob, sob, sob!*

Nixion Strange said...

"We live in cynical times, Miss Cain."

Spoken by:Skudluggery Pleasant
Book: Death Bringer

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah thanks very much Helena, it was my one moment of divine inspiration that I will never have again.

Selena Gasp said...

How did *final sob* you pick your name Helena? * final sob again*

Helena Ember Sky said...

Oh I'm sure you will. Write, correct? You're inspiring certainly to me at least. Nix, was that to me?

Selena Gasp said...

Emerald Melody, if you were in dc who, you name may be Green song, or gemstone song

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Miss Cain

so i did Miss Cain

Helena Ember Sky said...

My (dead) nana's name was Helen and dad's alwayssaying how much I look like her (when she was younger). It makes him sad I think. Ember because I'm like fire and I like fire. And Sky because I love the sky, I also want to be an astrophysicist.

Selena Gasp said...

No it would be Song green or Gemstone green

Drew O'Connor said...

Selena Gasp said...

Selena Gasp said...

Doctor Who is cool

Selena Gasp said...

Nixion Strange said...

Someone told me Nixion meant nothing, which pretty much sums up how I feel about myself, and Strange is because I'm strange.

Selena Gasp said...

Drew O'Connor said...

I have never been drawn into the world of Dr.Who unfortunately, I am trying to get my novel jump started cause 4 chapters are just not enough for me.
