Jim’s New Books are Climbing the Charts

Just a quick note because Jim’s agent contacted us to let us know…
Jim Butcher’s PROVEN GUILTY is #21 on the New York Times Bestseller List. And #91 on the USA Today List. The paperback of DEAD BEAT is #143 on the USA Today List.
This is fantastic news, and the highest Jim’s work’s gotten to date (unless I’ve got my facts messed up).
Let the partying commence!

Jim’s Button Giveaway

Several of the folks who met us at conventions really liked the Dresden Files buttons we were passing out. The buttons are simple, white text on black backgrounds, mostly containing quotes from the books. Folks liked them so much that we figured out a way to give them out to everyone who’d like one, not just to those who can make the cons or signings.
SO!
To get two free buttons — one for you and one for a friend — send a self-addressed envelope stamped with $.87 postage (do not send money!) to:
Longshot LLC
16657 E. 23rd St. #300
Independence, MO 64055
Because of the possibility of the buttons splitting open regular paper envelopes, the post office recommends the use of padded mailers.
If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to the feedback email address, and make sure you put BUTTON QUESTION in real big letters in the subject line.
Hope you like them!
Jim
