We have more news of the continuing success of The Dresden Files!
We’re proud to announce that White Night maintains a strong position on the New York Times bestseller list! It began in fifth place, then dropped to seventh in its second week, and now rests comfortably in 11th place in its third week. Congratulations, Jim!
Additionally, cover artist Christian McGrath revealed on the Forums that Storm Front is slated to be released in hardcover this November! This is assuredly a product of the success of the books. You can pre-order the book on Amazon here.

White Night in NYT’s top 5!
Jim’s books continue to grow in popularity! WHITE NIGHT is currently #4 in Hardcover Fiction on Publishers Weekly and #5 on the New York Times Bestseller list, as well as #17 on USA Today.
Want those numbers in context? Compare them with PROVEN GUILTY, which reached #21 on the New York Times Bestseller List and #91 on the USA Today List last year. Jim largely credits the TV series for effectively tripling his sales: the hardback edition of PROVEN GUILTY had an initial print run of 35,000, whereas WHITE NIGHT’s initial run was 100,000.
