The Dresden Files RPG
Short Story Anthology and Changes Wallpaper
Posted by priscellie at February 23, 2010 01:35 PM

We are delighted to announce a project fans have long been clamoring for: Side Jobs, a compilation of Dresden Files short stories. Slated for November 11th, this anthology brings together the following stories:

  • "Restoration of Faith"
  • "Vignette"
  • "Something Borrowed" -- from My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding
  • "It's My Birthday Too" -- from Many Bloody Returns
  • "Heorot" -- from My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon
  • "Day Off" -- from Blood Lite
  • Backup -- novelette from Thomas' POV, originally published by Subterranean Press
  • The Warrior -- novelette from Mean Streets
  • "Last Call" -- from Strange Brew
  • "Love Hurts" -- from Songs of Love and Death
  • And exclusive, all-new material!
We'll post pre-order info as soon as it's available.

In the meantime, only one week remains until we start posting sample chapters for Changes, twelfth book in the Dresden Files, and a mere month and a half stands between now and the book's release! Help stave off the wait (or whip your anticipation into a frenzy) with Changes desktop wallpaper, featuring cover art by Chris McGrath.

Download it as desktop wallpaper in about every desktop size imaginable:

800x600
1024x768
1280x800
1280x1024
1440x900
1600x1200
1920x1200

1680x1050 is proportionally identical to 1920x1200. Just grab that one and resize.

1680x1050 for widescreen 22'' monitors please.
See, I can imagine other sizes (and my suggestion is a standard resolution, nothing special)...

I think I'm going to die in anticipation while I wait.

I just reread every book in the series and the entire Alera series and I'm still not satisfied.

YES! I can't wait. This is going to be EPIC! :)

So looking forward to the Dresden Anthology, and I wonder if James Marsters will do an Audio version.

Posted by: Michael at February 25, 2010 09:47 PM

Excellent, now I'll have something to fill the gap since I don't have another Codex Alera book to look forward to. =)

OMG I am so ready for Changes to come out. I have re-read the whole series again and all of alera to keep my sanity. Never mind the luck souls that managed to get the advance copies, sigh

Posted by: david at February 24, 2010 01:31 PM

I absolutely cannot wait until the next book comes out. I find myself roaming the bookstore hoping maybe someone made a mistake and put a copy out early.

Posted by: Scott at February 24, 2010 08:17 AM

I cannot wait for Changes! I've been in a state of hysteria since finishing Turn Coat! LoVe the wallpaper!

xoxoxo!

As a true fan I'm in my happy place waiting for the new releases. I am disapointed though that Jim won't be touring in San Francisco this year. I missed him last time and was hoping to have another chance.

Posted by: Candy at February 24, 2010 12:22 AM

HAPPY-HAPPY, JOY-JOY

Posted by: Sean at February 24, 2010 12:05 AM

Great news... I often buy the anthologies just for Jim's work anyway, so it's nice to be able to get straight Dresden stories. :)

Posted by: Chris at February 23, 2010 11:47 PM

@Ivan -- "Songs of Love and Death," the anthology containing "Love Hurts," will also be released in November. But whoops, I slipped up on "Even Hand"! That story cannot be included in the "Side Jobs" compilation, as the "Dark and Stormy Knights" anthology has been delayed.

Posted by: Priscellie at February 23, 2010 08:31 PM

Sounds awesome, i cant wait :D :D
Quick question though, have "Even Hand" and "Love Hurts" been released yet???

Posted by: Ivan at February 23, 2010 08:18 PM

YeeHaa X 2. One for the short stories and one for the 1 week till I get a peek at Changes.

Posted by: Bev at February 23, 2010 07:22 PM

cool wallpaper, but the font could've been smaller.
