Another Tour Over

Well... THAT was a tour...!

I've been back home for a few days, trying to get used to sleeping in my own bed and struggling to figure out how I managed to exist without someone from Publicity leading me to and from destinations, ordering me food, arranging hotel rooms and cars... It's not easy, adjusting back into normality, especially after meeting thousands of readers, many of whom go strangely quiet when they finally get their book signed... Not all of them go quiet, however, but we'll get to that...

I flew to London on September 2nd, a Friday, and had dinner with my VERY lovely agent Michelle, where we talked about all manner of cool things- INCLUDING the kitchen that I'm planning on refitting. (See? Seriously cool things like that my kitchen. I live such an exciting life.)

Saturday morning, Publicity Girl Extraordinaire Tiffany picked me up from my hotel and we started a day of public signings in Brent Cross and Bromley. Oh dear GOD. People had been waiting for hours- the queue went on forever- and a certain number of Skulduggery fans were actually screaming. Then they descended on me with their mad, crazy babble. I sat there, stunned, as they babbled and yattered and chattered and gibbered. I was given an inflatable unicorn called Clarabelle, and I'm pretty sure I was proposed to.

That evening I flew to Edinburgh, and the next morning Publicity Girl Extraordinaire Mary picked me up and I did events in Perth and Stirling, both of which were amusingly manic.

On Monday, we were in Glasgow, and I did TWO 400 person events one after another... This is when my voice started to go, and by the time I turned up at Waterstones that evening, I was definitely starting to worry. My voice has never been a problem before, but then, every tour the queues get longer, and I chat and laugh with more people, so it was only a matter of time before I was talking constantly for 8 hours a day... My poor voice just wasn't prepared for it.

We finished up in Scotland on Tuesday and drove to Newcastle, and from there it all started to blur together. We were in Bolton next, then Sheffield and Boston, then Cambridge and St Albans, and I met so many Skulduggery readers who each had their own theories as to what's going to happen next, and their own opinions on what just happened in Death Bringer, and each and every one of them were unique oddballs who made me grin and chat more and lose my voice AGAIN...

And then suddenly it was Saturday, and I was in Muswell's Children's Bookshop, talking to my old English teacher who'd come along, and I was given a WONDERFUL cake by a couple of readers who'd made it themselves. And then- Bluewater. The legendary Bluewater, where the queues are longer than anywhere else. If there is one thing this tour has taught me is how to speed up while signing, and I was definitely signing faster here in order to make it to the airport for my flight... But I did it, and I hopped on the plane, came home, and the next day I was at the Mountains to the Sea Festival in Dun Laoghaire, meeting the coolest people and getting lots of hugs.

Then I had a few days off, and Publicity Girl Extraordinaire Sam came over, fresh from her wedding, to spend time with the TRUE love of her life- me. Over the next three days we did events and signings in Tallaght and Kildare, Liberty Hall and Swords, and finished with epic signings in Dundrum and Blanchardstown.

And now? Now I'm finished.

I must, at this moment, thank my Publicity Girls. Thank you very much Catrina, it was so good to meet you! Thank you Mary- a few years ago I changed your life when I introduced you to the glories of the Gilmore Girls, and now I think I have done it again by introducing you and your family to the classic Batman: The Animated Series. Sam, after a few days with me, I hope life with your new husband won't appear too drab by comparison. And last but not least, Tiffany. Tiffany has been around for a few years, but this is the first time she's ever come on one of my tours, and unfortunately it's also going to be the last, as she heads back home to America in a few weeks. Tiffany was a wonderful companion, completely overawed at my wit, which is understandable. I knew we were going to get on when I heard the Imperial March coming from her phone.

I just want to thank all of you who came to an event or a signing- it really gives me a thrill when someone says "Hi, I'm Sue, but you probably know me best as Raven Darkclaw from the blog/facebook/forums." So many of you guys identified yourselves to me and it was like meeting an old friend for the first time. The lovely thing about these tours is when the Publicity Girls say how much they love the people who come to get books signed. For some reason, they seem to think you guys are fantastic, and fun, and sweet, and smart, and hilarious and goodnatured. I try to explain that ALL of my Minions are this way, and you are. From the people who froze when they met me (which is ALWAYS amusing) to the people who just wouldn't stop talking, to the girls who were practically hyperventilating, you were all magnificent. I don't particularly like going away to stay at bad hotels for a week, but every single one of you make it all worthwhile.

And I know I missed huge chunks of Ireland and the UK, but hopefully we'll visit your area next time. Next year there'll be more tours to add on, and whatever else pops up. Whenever I get a request, I do take note of it, because I know there are passionate readers all over the world who just want a chance to meet their Golden God. All you folks in Singapore, and Australia and New Zealand, and all the requests I get from Sweden and Germany and Canada and Estonia, not to mention you Americans...!

I really hope that one of these days I'll be able to tour America, but I just want to say right here and now that I truly appreciate all your support. It's not easy for you guys- not least because only the first three books are officially available over there- so your support really does go above and beyond the call of duty. I hope to be able to do something nice for you sometime soon, in thanks. In fact, how many of you are actually out there? I know Kallista is American, and Skulgirl, and I think Mar Chu, but how many others?

American readers, let yourselves be known!

One more thing, before I head off. It's thanks to you guys that Death Bringer sold so well, so thank you for officially making Skulduggery Pleasant a NUMBER ONE Bestselling Series!

Now I have to go. I need to finish The End of the World in the next few days. I love my job.

Of fans. Armies of fans. And how on eath is Ghastly adorable? I mean, he's freakin awesome, but seriously? Adorable?

Cat said...

Oh, yah!

Well, duh hes friggin awesome!!
but im sure his pasta-making skills are helpful in describing his adorability

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

He makes PASTA?

Cat said...

i cant find another word for it- its not cute, really... just... adorable

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

But pasta?

Cat said...

cyas

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sorry, i feel stupid but what does cyas mean/say?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh my gosh, the thought just hit me, but I missed Derek posting by A FEW HOURS??? Because of school, of all reasons??? *Kicks stupid time differences in the face*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

@the incredibly awesome Mr Derek Landy

my blog is bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com

Funk Tuba said...

I'm American!!!!!!!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello! I'm guessing you just read that post too...?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey, I know that I'm practically talking to myself, so I'm gonna write a letter to Derek RIGHT HERE.
Dear Derek,
I LOVE your books. A lot. And I know you get that often, because, let's face it, your pretty freakin awesome. But you need to hear it from ME, because it makes me smile even at the thought of you reading this and coming to America. You've probably read my crazy comment from a little while ago, and I get even crazier. Trust me.
And that thing about insane people buying the same book again... That's me. I have twelve skulduggery books. TWELVE. My wall? covered in Skulduggery pictures and the preview of Death Bringer that was here a while ago (I printed it). I even have Skulduggery dedicated parties with my closest friends in the army, and each time I dress up as Skulduggery and await their arrivals. I got a laptop for one purpose: looking up Skulduggery. Can you see where this is going?
So, enough of me wasting your precious time that could be spent on The End Of The World, which I cannot explain how excited I am for.
Sincerely your bigest fan,
Bella Votolato
P.S. I read Death Bringer--AMAZING! Never would have guessed that twist.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Can you guess?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I mean if anyone else is on.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oooh, I get to correct myself. I have 13 Skulduggery books.


And sorry if I annoy all of you guys on this site, but I kind of tend to do that :)

Ann Marie said...

AAAMMMMMEEEEERRRRRIIIIICAAAAAAAA! Yes!

Niall, you can't say that without sharing a picture of the fedora, preferably with you in it.

Um, I'm not really here, blogger is too slow for me right now. :-P

nights.raven said...

hi ann *hugs* how r u?

Mar-Chu said...

*looks up*

Nameless one and Nameless two? Wow, I'm not very specific when I'm spazy...

...Ah, yes.

And Thalia, you were right. I AM SO FLIPPEN HAPY!

You Remember Me Derek! In all my random fantasies and dreams of meeting you, you don't remember ME. It gets a bit depressing. Then I have other day dreams about you being my substitute teacher instead of the scary one who we have in Language Arts. That was a fun one.

*looks up again*

*chuckles slightly*

Hah. Hyper People.

Saoirse Equus said...

*WAVES HAND IN AIR*
I'M AMERICAN! And I'm coming over to the UK next year and Becky Allaker is taking me to one of your signings. She's an awesome friend (WHICH, by the way, is all thanks to you and Skulduggery Pleasant :3 Oh and uh, I'm not as wierd as she is. LOL)
TAKE CARE DEREK AND BEST WISHES ON YOUR NEXT PROJECTS!!! :D
-Ashley

nights.raven said...

hi mar & saoirse

Mar-Chu said...

What was I going to say...

...aaaah...

um...

Mar-Chu said...

*shrieks with laughter*

ITS A DOG NAMED MARVIN!

AND ITS A POMERANIAN!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't think I've met any of you...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Nevermind. I've met nights.raven

Mar-Chu said...

Now if you excuse me, I need to go and get red converse and a sonic screwdriver off the internet.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi all!!!¡¡¡!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm good. I'm eating a giant pretzel.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi Raven!!!¡¡¡!!!

I'm good thanks, slightly tired. How're you?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't think we've met, Pyro. I'm Bella, but not the twighlight Bella. She's stupid. And you're Pyro, I'm guessing?

Tanya said...

You win my over with every post Mr Landy, this time with your reference to BTAS.

Tan
xox

nights.raven said...

yum, i love pretzels! so delicious!

@Pyro
np, and im fine :)

Bethany said...

Gotta love those Gilmore Girls :3 Oh, and Derek, we're going to need pictures of the kitchen when it's all lovely and finished. Also, it cost Ginger Rachel and I £60 to get to Swords and back, but it was worth it for your signature, fabulous drawing of Skulduggery and witty banter ;) You should most definitely design the cover of The End of the World and truely give Tom a run for his money.

nights.raven said...

hi omlair

nights.raven said...

hi beth

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Dang it! I've gotta go. Bye anyone who's even on!

IM AN AMERICAN!I've been a reader since book one! You have to come here! Also, on a side note, if/when you do the movie, have open auditions for Fletcher, because I am a quite talented actor with cockamamie hair.

Sparky Braginski said...

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was born in America! I live in Australia, but that's totally beside the point. YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO COME TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To Sydney to be exact. There are about 20 people in my year ALONE will have their head's EXPLODE EVERY IF YOU DON'T COME. As for me? Well my brain would explode naturally. Which would be immediately followed by the rest of my body following suit. My librarian said she has a friend who owns a book store in North Sydney, that is where I normally get supplied with new books. My librarian told me that the bookstore owner was going to see if you could come back. The librarian told ME before anyone else, and I'm in a fairly low year. SO PLEASE COME!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I have officially finished my website please check it out.

Kribu said...

Tours sound... manic. Great, but manic.

Also, sounds like there really needs to be a proper around-the-world tour one of these days. That's what one gets for having minions everywhere. :D

(I'd be happy even with a tour stop in Helsinki. I mean, I'd love one in Estonia, but as far as I know, the books haven't been translated here, while Finns have them - I've actually been tempted to get one or two, just to pretend I have new Skulduggery to read, and to keep my Finnish skills up. But yeah, Helsinki is easy to get to. Not that I actually expect that to happen, but one can dream, right?)

Woah, Derek, wait a minute! That sounds like tours are over for this year! Does that mean that you won`t be at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October after all? Because I`ve made plans to go with a friend (a.k.a. another crazy fan of yours). And the website of the Book Fair doesn`t list you, either. PLEASE tell me they`re just being sloppy!

Oh, and welcome back home =)

Oh, I have a question. Does everyone here want the Skulduggery fandom to get bigger?

Kribu said...

*waves to everyone*

And I love your fic, Alana (I'm yapyap on FFN - have been reading and enjoying it there)!

Also, I really have to say it's GOOD to have an author who doesn't go all "fanfic is evil, kill all fanfic" on his fans - it's what keeps many of us going between the books after all! Not to mention that writing (and reading) is just fun.

amelie espirt ____the gummy bear assasin for the straight jacket said...

kinda but it would be ok if it was as big as it is because then it wont take so long to meet derek

lego said...

totally fine...support thingies aren't for everyone, or even most people.

brb

Unknown said...

OH MY GOD I HAVE MET YAPYAP PERSONALLY OH GODS LET ME LOVE YOU DOWN! I looooove your fanfiction! SERIOUSLY.

And you're right. I mean, some authors don't like fanfiction. And I think that's dumb. I mean, we love the series so much that we write our own versions, and sometimes he even gets ideas from it, (like Flaring Rhythm? I'm pretty sure she's an author on Fanfition)...

lego said...

@ Alana- I'm totally swooning at your fan fic...you will write more? *puppy eyes*

amelie espirt ____the gummy bear assasin for the straight jacket said...

we should do something for derek on here

Kribu said...

I can only draw stick figures, and not very good ones at that...

amelie espirt ____the gummy bear assasin for the straight jacket said...

how can you not draw stick figures

lego said...

my drawing is mostly restricted to random doodling that I do when I'm trying to avoid being productive or writing anything...

I'm probably going to update another chapter on fanfiction today, Lego and Kribu. (yapyap...ugh I 'm such a fan of your work... you're bloody brilliant).
It's a work in progress, the chapter, right now. I had written myself into a corner and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do next, but it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.
Well, I'm off for the day, time to go to Private School, where uniforms roam. (I was really disappointed when I realised that I couldn't wear my combat boots to school. :(_) BYE EVERYONE

in in between 400 and 420

lego said...

whee!

uniforms are silly...we only have a dress code, to prevent us from being distracted in our learning environment...because someone wearing a tank top can really set the whole school in a tizzy.

bye alana! *hugs*

Woooooh! Number one! Soooo much more satisfying than being number two or number eleventy (yes, elevently).
Reading some of these comments it's brill to see that other Skulduggery fans all perfectly and perpetually mad. My mother would be so pleased. ^_^
Hello fellow mentals!
Ah and to the reason for this comment (I've always been worried about commenting before but I have to ask you guys this):
Do your parents read Skulduggery too, or is it just my mother?

Kribu said...

*waves to Jenny*

My mother doesn't, but most of my Skulduggery-adoring (online) friends and myself are probably around the parent-generation age (mid-thirties to mid-forties) for most of you wonderfully insane kids here. And some of them have kids that read the books, too.

So your mother is in excellent company. :D
