To Mr.Delaney,
Hello! I’m a massive fan of your books, and I think you’re an utter genius. Your books are perfect!! I’m dying for the release of your next book, ‘The Spook’s Destiny’, it sounds awe-inspiring. I was wondering if you are going to be signing books anywhere near London? I live in a small town called Farnborough, which is very far away from anywhere you are signing. If you are signing in/around London, I would do absolutely anything to be there… perhaps bind a boggart or two on the way! Thank you for reading this and I really hope to see you in the flesh! From Joel, 15.

Hi Mr Delaney,
Received “The Spooks Destiny” as a present for my birthday. What a wonderful husband I have although I do suspect that secretly he made the purchase for “us”. Please do schedule a visit to South Africa. We’d love to meet you and have our books signed. A keepsake for the little ones.

Where will you be in paris ?

Why don’t you come to the states espically Florida. It has a few haunted spots and ghostly folklore to scare the living wits out of you. Not only that you could go to the haunted keys of florida. The devil’s school in Tallehasse. And you can go throught the Town of the haunted Saint augustine. Not only that you could visit a local Natvie American Buriral Mound. And you can go to the haunted cemetary of Greenwood in orlando where the dead settler rise from their graves.
So why don’t you visit the darkside of the sunshine state?
Please come to Florida. You don’t know who or what might be waiting for you here.

Hello,
Just out of interest, are you coming to reading at all on your tour, because I have all of the wardstone chronicles and I really want them signed, the closest place on this list is Bristol but I have missed that one.
So PLEASE come to reading
Best Wishes, Luke

October 9th, 2011 at 10:03 pm
Dear Mr.Delaney,
Could you please tour in the U.S. soon? PLEASE!!! I would love to meet the genius behind this amazing series! Please come!!!!!!
October 10th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Please pass our thanks on to the publisher for bringing out Destiny in the old (special edition) cover style. We do hope they’re not going to stop there…if I Am Grimalkin and I Am Alice are part of the main series, then hopefully they will receive the same treatment. These books deserve a classy and tasteful binding.
Sorry we missed you in Bristol. Next time for sure.
October 11th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Too bad you aren’t coming to the United States. I love all of your books and can’t wait for the next in the series to come out. I would attend one if I could, but I doubt I would be allowed to go to London just for a book signing… Nevertheless, loving the Last Apprentice books from here in America!
