Jim will be Author Guest of Honor at Polaris in Toronto.  The dates for this event are July 11-13.

Jim will attend ConDFW 9 in Richardson, TX, as the Author Guest of Honor.  Texans, mark your calendars for February 20-22, 2009!

The fourth and final Small Favor sample chapter has been posted!  Read them all here, then discuss them here on the forum.

Eager to get your hands on a copy of Small Favor?  You can preorder it from Amazon through the Jim-Butcher.com store in hardcover or in audio format, performed by James Marsters.  Both are due out April 1st--and that's no joke!  (You can also pick up the Captain's Fury audio book, performed by Kate Reading and released March 27th.)

Alternately, you can also participate in The Signed Page's Small Favor Virtual Signing!  If you don't mind waiting a few extra days, you can get a copy of the book signed and personalized by Jim.  On that website, you can also find a list of all the cities Jim will be touring to promote Small Favor.  Hope to see you there!


On the graphic novel front, we finally have a release date for the first issue of "Welcome to the Jungle":  April 16th!  Check out Diamond's Comic Shop Locator to find the retailer nearest you.  We encourage fans to fill out this form and bring it to their local retailer to ensure they get a copy of the book. The best way to make sure these books keep coming out is to buy the Single issues at your local comic shop! 

"Welcome to the Jungle" is a four-issue prequel to Storm Front written by Jim Butcher and penciled by Ardian Syaf.  Inks are by Joe Pimentel, and the covers are by Ardian Syaf  and Chris McGrath.  Find out more (and check out the cover art) on the forum!

Also, if you have questions for the Dabel Brothers that you would like to hear asked on the Butcher Block podcast, you have ONE MORE WEEK to submit them!  Details here.

Great news!  The Dabel Brothers' first official Dresden Files poster was so successful that we've just released a new one! This print features a thrilling scene from the first Dresden novel, STORM FRONT, wherein Harry Dresden squares off with Bianca, a seductive bordello madam whose beauty, it would seem, is only skin deep. 

Who needs stakes? A resourceful wizard has less conspicuous tricks up his sleeve to defend against a Red Court vampire.



But, the good news gets even better: we just made a deal that's going to allow us to bring you this poster for just $9.99, plus shipping and handling. But we're not skimping on the quality; like the previous poster, this is printed on a thick piece of glossy paper that will look great on your wall or in your cubicle, and it's even suitable for framing!

So, head on over to DabelBrothers.com and place your order now -- we only have 500 of these available, so act quickly!


Discuss this topic here!

We now have details on Jim's April signing tour for Small Favor and a list of his 2008 convention appearances!  Find out if Jim will be coming to a city near you.
