Tonight, the Sci-Fi Channel is finally broadcasting the unaired Dresden Files TV pilot in the US! This two-hour cut of “Storm Front” features exciting new scenes that were cut from the one-hour version that aired last year. Unfortunately, it’s slated for 3AM EST. I think this is why they invented TiVo.

Jim Butcher Update — Artwork for BACKUP Just Turned In
Just a quick update on Backup, the Dresden Files tale by Jim Butcher due later this year. Mike Mignola has just turned in the cover and interior illustrations for our 72 page hardcover chapbook. The limited edition is long sold out, but copies of the $20 trade hardcover may still be preordered. Given Jim’s legions of fans, we suspect this one won’t be around for long after it’s released this fall, so you might want to get in an early order to be certain of receiving a copy. We’ll post samples of Mike’s artwork in the next few weeks.
Signed Page Adds Hardcover Storm Front
Not to be one-upped by Dog-Eared Books’ virtual signing, The Signed Page has just announced that they will be offering fifty hardcover copies of Storm Front, the re-release of Harry Dresden’s first adventure! Like Small Favor, the signature can be personalized. Place your order here!
If you want to add Storm Front to a previous order, please write Shawn and notify him; he can reimburse the second $9.95 shipping fee and ship the two books together, if applicable.
I think it’s clear that when two bookstores compete, the fans win!

Another Virtual Signing!
Fans wanting a signed copy of Jim’s most recent works have an alternative to The Signed Page. Dog-Eared Books held several virtual signings for Jim in the past, celebrating the releases of White Night, Cursor’s Fury, and Proven Guilty, and now they’re back again!
This time, Jim will be signing Small Favor, Captain’s Fury, and the new paperback release of White Night. His wife Shannon will be signing both of her romantic suspense titles, No Regrets and No Control.
