The Apocalyptic Four have been remiss!  Well, really, we’ve been extremely busy with a variety of book signings over this past month.

On November 13th (Lucky Friday the 13th) We shared Pages on Kensington Books in - Calgary, Alberta, with Craig DiLouie (The Great Planet Robbery) and we had a fantastic time!  Meeting so many new friends, and touching base with old friends!  Our thanks to Pages. And we are truly sorry 6 foot Ryan frightened you!  He had a sleepover, you see….

On November 21st, 3/4 of us — plus 6 foot Ryan of course — hung out at Wee Book Inn on Whyte Avenue (Edmonton, Alberta).

We sold a bunch of books, and met some wonderful people.  And dogs!  Must never forget the dogs!  Thanks to Dave the Manager and the wonderful staff.  We had a great time!

On November 22nd, we were thrilled to find out that Women of the Apocalypse made it on the Calgary Herald Bestseller List!  WooHoo!

All they have to do is drink a shooter — a caustic mix of alcohol and divinity that will imbue them with the conviction to battle the Four.
