Twelve Months, chapter one
RobReece:
Good morning,
Someone in reddit posted a link to chapter 1 of Twelve Months, but I'm not positive that it's legit. There are a couple of things that bring up questions if it is.

For those that didn't get into the Jim Butcher panel at NYCC, here's the sneak peak of Twelve Months they gave us!

Let me know if you want to discuss the questions I have on this
Just Al:
I just read the sneak peek. It is published through the Penguin books web site, so that leads me to believe it's legit.
What strikes me as odd is the use of hyphens then spaces within words. That doesn't seem like anything Jim would do, but it may just be a weirdness involved in the HTML layout.

This often occurs when you strip the text out of a formatted work, and republish the literal text in another format...

Most likely, "chamber" in the printed book occurred at the end of the line, and got hyphenated in layout, but not de-hyphenated for this little freebie snippet.

Does anyone want to discuss what possible issues I saw with it?

Harry wasn't shot in the leg in BG... Listen shot him in the belly, iirc
He doesn't drink his coffee black, but maybe it's a punishment?
His mickeymouse alarm clock would not have survived Changes...
I don't think these would have made it past the beta readers
Lord Kinbote:
From that tidbit (chapter?), Dresden seems to be in far worse mental and emotional shape than he was in Christmas Eve. Maybe Christmas Eve occurs after this tidbit?
