Yeah, he has a really nasty case of stomach flu.  Shannon posted a picture of him in the ER looking like Patient Zero for a zombie apocalypse.  Fortunately, he's back home and resting now, thanks to the glowing magic of intravenous drugs.  Hopefully he'll be back in shape soon.  I know Kansas City intends to reschedule his signing.  Not sure about the canceled Chicago signing.

I openly wepted at the bookstore when I head that he was ill and that he had to cancel. Jim Butcher were going to be the first book signing I ever been to. Was going to be at the bookstore at 7am to wait for my ticket. :)

I normally would suggest chicken noodle soup.....but, in this case um...maybe not.

Jim I hope that you feel better soon and even if it takes longer its all good. -hugs-

I hope he feels better soon. Being sick is never fun.
And I hope that the Chicago (Skokie) Bookstore will reschedule it some date I can actually go to  :(. I had to take off work just so I can make it to the Friday signing.
This is the first signing I am ever going to, so I was hyped and was going to drag a friend from Chicago to Skokie to keep me company while I waited for the book signing.

Get well soon Jim. We'll still be here when you're feeling better.

I was going to get up at 04:30 to head out for the Skokie ticket line, but my wife woke me at midnight to break the news to me.

Urgh, I'm so sorry to hear about JB getting the stomach flu.
I have had that - yuck, no fun.
Glad to hear that he's home and improving.
Get well fast, JB.
