Captain's Fury, Short Stories, and Holiday Cheer!
« on: December 20, 2007, 05:01:27 AM »
Great news!  Captain's Fury shot to #17 on the New York Times Bestseller list for hardcover fiction.  Congratulations to Jim!  If you haven't read it yet, snag a copy from the Jim-Butcher.com store.

Also, we have big news on the short story front!  Jim has announced that he will be participating in Kevin J. Anderson's "Blood Lite" anthology, featuring humorous horror stories.  Jim reveals:
Quote
It's called 'Harry's Day Off.'  You know, I thought it would be nice to just have a Dresden Files story where nothing happens.  Harry has a quiet day at home reading a book.  Hey, it could happen. :)

Watch this website for further details, and discuss your thoughts on the story here.

In other short story news, don't forget to pre-order My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon, the short story anthology featuring Jim's "Heorot."  It arrives in bookstores December 26th!  It recently received a glowing review and four-star rating from Romantic Times, which you can read in editor P.N. Elrod's Livejournal

Remember, the store is also your source for Jim Butcher books, shirts, audio books, posters, and more!  If you're still looking for a holiday gift for similarly-minded friends, family, and enemies you wish to convert to friends, you can't go wrong!  Also, don't forget the Harry vs. Kalshazzak poster offered by the Dabel Brothers, publishers of the upcoming Dresden Files graphic novel.  Nothing quite says holiday cheer like a naked wizard hurling lightning at a giant toad demon.
