Who’s Your Favourite?
Because A) I do a lot of events, and B) lots of people seem to have definite favourites when it comes to the Four Horsemen on the Apocalypse in The 13th Horseman, I’m thinking of getting some badges printed to give away at my talks.

The 13th Horseman

Today the events will be extra special, because they’ll be launch events for The 13th Horseman which is officially published today. Woo-hoo!
