A martial arts enthusiast whose resume includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut's Windlass.
Praise for the Dresden Files
"Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip
Marlowe."--Entertainment Weekly
"Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this
series."--Midwest Book Review
"Superlative."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "One of
the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on
the shelves."--Cinescape "Butcher...spins an excellent
noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged
setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry's wit
continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught
plot."--Booklist (starred review) "What's not to like about
this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes
it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of
romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and
serves."--SF Site "A tricky plot complete with
against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of
magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi
Channel's TV series based on the novels should find this
supernatural mystery a real winner."--Library Journal "What
would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you
would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough
guy and star of [the Dresden Files]."--The Washington
Times
