2013 Geek Hard interview
(click to show/hide)
--- Quote from: TheCuriousFan on May 10, 2013, 01:41:28 AM ---We were talking about the series and the books and we've talked earlier about Grave Peril and there's a reoccurring location, that takes place in the universe of Harry Dresden. And it was first brought up in Grave Peril uh, when Bianca uh, gives Harry a gift.
Jim: Yes.
Green: Of his own personal tombstone and open grave.
Jim: And an open grave waiting for him at Graceland Cemetary.
Green: That's there to this day in the storyline.
Jim: Yes.
Green: Harry's tombstone says "Harry Dresden: He died-" uh, sorry, I got it all wrong now.
Green: He died doing the right thing.
Jim: He died doing the right thing.
Green: Um, so if it says "Harry Dresden: He died doing the right thing", Jim Butcher?
Jim: Oh, Jim Butcher: He died doing the wright thing, with a w.
*laughter*
Jim: I'm going to pitch over with a keyboard one day, so you know, "he died doing the wright thing".
Green: You'd be happy with just that?
Jim: Oh sure, why not? I'd put it there and it'll be a joke and it'll be funny. I don't know, I suppose for the sake of the rest of my family it might have to say something more than that. Although, as far as my son is concerned he'd dig that. He'd be like "yeah, that's dad".
Green: That's awesome. Because you always think about that, it was one of the things that was always happening in the story, he's gone back to it so many times, he's hung out in the grave, he's called the Mothers, he's done all that stuff and it was just sitting there, and that's a looming thing to have over you in that character.
Jim: On the other hand, though, that's not really *unintelligible* for him at this point, it's not really a thing of fear and trepidation at this point, it's a place of power. It's not a particularly pleasant kind of power but uh, that's somewhere that he can go where he'll have access to things that he wouldn't have elsewhere. And Harry's been dead, done that. Not as scary as everybody makes it out to be, you know, so he's got a slightly different attitude about now. He's not in a hurry to check out or anything but neither is he terrified of it. So having his own grave it's like, well, "it'll be nice to have a nice place someday".
*laughter*
Green: It's like a cottage house.
Jim: Well we're all going to check out some time, might as well have a nice place to retire, there it is.
Green: With the Dresden Files, you know, you're fourteen books in, you've got 6ish-
Jim: Yeah 6ish. Half a dozen or so.
Green: -Plus the climactic trilogy we'll call it. What can you tell us? Because you've got Skin Game is apparently the title of the next book.
Jim: The title of the next book is Skin Game.
Green: Skinwalkers?
Jim: At least one.
Green: Nice!
Jim: And, yeah, in this one it turns out that Mab owes favours to people which she's incurred over the centuries. And at this point one of the people Mab owes a favour shows up to collect so Mab loans him Harry for a bank job. So Harry is going to wind up helping Nicodemus Archleone knock over the vault of Hades, lord of the underworld. So we're going to play Ocean's Eleven for keeps, definitely for keepsies, only with Hades and the underworld. So Harry and crew are going to go up against one of the Greek gods and see if they can come out on top.
Of course, he's going to be there with Nicodemus, uh who's not a nice guy.
Green: He's going to love that.
Jim: Yeah, he's gonna love that, and all of the crew that Nicodemus is recruiting are just a bunch of hideous bastards, I mean, for the most part.
Green: I thought they'd be so nice.
Jim: Yeah, maybe he'll grab a bunch of nice guys. And Dresden knows that Nicodemus is going to screw him over, and he knows that Nicodemus knows that Dresden is going to screw him over as soon as they can figure out how to make it happen. But at the same time they need each other to get in there. It's going to be one of those contests to see who can out-clever who. Plus we've got all these other things to handle because Harry is going to have to be confronting the Carpenters about what happened to Molly.
Green: That's not going to be a fun conversation.
Jim: No it isn't, and he's got issues of his own, what with the thing in his head trying to kill him. So, it's going to be a busy book, there's a lot to do.
Green: It seems like that's been happening a lot in the books recently, they've been getting busier.
Jim: Yes, more problems. More magic, more problems.
*laughter*
Green: You should have him say that in the books some time. Well Jim, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to speak with us, it's been awesome. I'm also looking forward to talking cats and the Cinder Spires.
Jim: Excellent.
Green: I'm also looking forward to Skin game and the Ocean's Eleven inhale. Because that sounds awesome. I love heists.
Jim: Exactly this is going to be a slight departure from the normal Dresden to because this is gonna be a heist and those are always fun. But uh, we'll see what happens.
Green: Excellent, well thanks again Jim I really appreciate it.
Jim: Certainly, thanks for having me on.

First piece of the transcript done. Personally, I feel that the bit about Harry's grave being a place of power where Harry can do things he normally can't is the most interesting bit.

New Q&A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gmu76ritoQ
Serack:
*RAGE* I can't believe they asked about the Jade Court.
cool card revoked.
Edit: Also, I'm not making a full transcript but I'm mining this one for everything that I deem worthy of the compilation.
Edit 2: By the way, I struggle with skipping or including things like the 12th time I've heard the answer to if we will see Tera West again because he always considers it and gives a maybe for some future book... then I checked and realized that the only mention of her in the compilation is super out-dated, so I'm replacing it...
Also: Holy cow he gave away a big hint on the contents of book 2 of the BAT!

--- Quote ---Will we see Chauncy again?
I don't know, I haven't thought about him in a good long time. He's a demon that's actually working in hell. Yah I can't see how we can avoid seeing him in the second book of the BAT. That's the one that's entitled Hells Bells so.

Jaken:
Uh... And previously all thoughts had been on hells bells being first iirc.... So stars and stones, then hells bells, assuming of course empty night is the biggest threat/last one.

If you want to hold off on this one, I'm about 13 minutes into a transcription. I'm skipping the usual talk about tv shows and old stories, though. I'll post it in the spoilers section for people to talk about once I get through it.
