I understand that Mr. Butcher enjoys LARP. If that is still the case, then both Jim and Shannon need to put Gulf Wars on their list of places to appear. Gulf Wars is a week long event hosted by Gleann Abhann which is a kingdom in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Gulf Wars will be held March 10 - 17 in 2013. My husband and I along with four other friends have built a recreation of a 15th Century tavern there which I think both Jim and Shannon would enjoy visiting. Not so much for a book signing or anything, but I think they would have fun. No LARPing though. Our fighters use ratan weapons.
