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.

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!

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.
Visit Dog-Eared Books‘ website for more information, and discuss this topic on the forums here!

More sneak preview comic art is online, courtesy of the Dabel Brothers and Newsarama! Check it out, and let them know what you think!

A little over a month remains until Small Favor hits shelves!
Folks in the US have a variety of choices when it comes to snagging the book itself! Here are our favorites:

• Amazon/the Jim-Butcher.com Store — Order through our referral link and a percentage of your purchase will go towards the site’s server costs!
• Buzzy Multimedia — Support the publishers of the first four audio books AND this website in one go!
• The Signed Page — Participate in their virtual signing!

The Small Favor audiobook, also released April 1st, can be purchased from Amazon and Buzzy Multimedia. Like the first four audiobooks, it is read by James Marsters. The audios for books 5-9 will depend on the audio sales of “Small Favor” and upon Mr. Marsters’ schedule and availability.
International Fans Rejoice! For the first time, the Orbit/UK release is nearly simultaneous with the American release. Pre-order Small Favor (or should we say Small Favour?) from Amazon UK, for an April 3rd release.
