Dresden TV Pilot Airs Tonight on SciFi!
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.
Find out what time the episode airs in your time zone here.

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.
