Captain’s Fury, Short Stories, and Holiday Cheer!
Great news! Captain’s Fury shot to #17 on the New York Times Bestseller list for hardcover fiction. Congratulations to Jim! If you haven’t read it yet, snag a copy from the Jim-Butcher.com store.
Also, we have big news on the short story front! Jim has announced that he will be participating in Kevin J. Anderson’s “Blood Lite” anthology, featuring humorous horror stories. Jim reveals:
It’s called ‘Harry’s Day Off.’ You know, I thought it would be nice to just have a Dresden Files story where nothing happens. Harry has a quiet day at home reading a book. Hey, it could happen. 🙂
