Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?

Why?

Actually oddly enough I got into the Greywalker series by fluke on our vacation. My boyfriend wanted to suprise me so he went to the bookstore to find the next book in her series and could only find "Mean Streets." He bought it and "Storm Front" in case I found that I enjoyed "The Warrior" and ensured me there was an entire series of books written by him. I not only enjoyed them I devoured them. I then noticed the "tag" on the front of my book " As seen on Sci Fi" and wasted no time jumping on Hulu and watching all of the episodes. I then of course went to check for some source for season two only to find that the show was cancelled. I for one have seen some of the garbage carried by Sci Fi and am wondering (as I am obviously not the only one) why on earth did they cancel it and where can I go to get the answer to the many question I have left behind. That led me to this site. I am not one to go in for protests but, if there is anything I do to try and help get this series back I would love know! ;)

I will admit I read "Storm Front" first then watched it on Hulu and the entire plot was different. I was flipping through the pages and scratching my head most of the time.

well ...
in the last few years there have been quite alot of vamps, comics and other action tv shows, some of them are not all that bad.
I saw parts of the tv show, and it just wasn't good.
although, it was hard to see the changes done to characters.
bob being a human ghost or something.
I always pictured him as a voice coming from a ghost with eyes that shine whenever he is "on".
morgan being on something of a strict c.o. with dresden instead of a nemesis.
I didn't like it.
add to it, the scene in small favor when harry electrocuted that fallen angel with an electric cord, if you realy think about it, it all took place in 2 seconds, but in the book it was a page of fun action.
you can't take books into tv shows without real effort and probably alot of money to back it.

The first thing I ever read of JB's was actually Furies of Calderon, and that was just something that caught my eye on a borders shelf. I finished it and liked it, but AF wasnt out yet so I lost track of it. I had heard of TDF but didnt make the connection that it was the same author. I never picked it up because I wasnt big on urban fantasy and the last one I had tried was Anita Blake which soured me to the whole genre. Then my roommate starts raving about this book series hes fallen in love with (WN had just come out) and I had heard there was a show. So I got online and found some back eps of the DF tv show and liked it for its snarky noir feel. Then I got copies of the DF series, and read the nine books out at the time in 6 days. Been in love with the series ever since.
