That’s it for now! We’ll let you know when the final cities have been announced.

The secret is out — Jim Butcher will be the author guest of honor at GenCon 2014! You can see GenCon’s announcement on their website.

Like they say over there:

Jim will host and participate in seminars and panels through the Writer’s Symposium program. He will also participate in some book signings in the Authors’ Avenue area of the Exhibit Hall. More information about these exciting events will be added here as it becomes available, be sure to check the online event listing for details when event registration opens.

Are you going to GenCon? Share your excitement over on our forums!

While you’re there make sure to drop by the Indie Press Revolution booth, where Dresden Files RPG publisher Evil Hat‘s games (as well as those of many other publishers) will be on display and available for sale. (And while we’re on that topic, check out Evil Hat’s current card game kickstarter campaign, Zeppelin Attack!, which is already funded and running through March 1st!)

Hope to see you there. It’s looking like it’ll be the best GenCon yet. (How could it not — they’ll have Jim this time!)

Jim is off to Chattanooga this weekend for ConNooga! You can catch him at the Heroic Interactive Theater LARP Demo, running most of the day on Saturday.

Heroic Interactive Theater LARP Demo
Location: Choo Choo – Pennsylvania Station (Pennsylvania Station)
Day & Time: 11:30 AM Saturday – 6:00 PM Saturday
Hosts & Panelists : Buddy Landreth, Cassie Frese, Jim Butcher, Melissa Hurley Landreth

We can add two more events to Jim’s 2014 schedule!

First, Jim will be heading to Chatanooga next month for Con Nooga! Con Nooga is located at the Historical Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel and Chattanooga Convention Center, and will take place February 21st through 23rd.

Historical Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel

Chattanooga, TN 37402

Chatanooga Convention Center

Additionally, Jim had such a great time at WyrdCon last year, he’s returning for this year’s madness!

WyrdCon 2014
May 22nd–26th, 2014
The Westin Los Angeles Airport
5400 West Century Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90045
(310) 216-5858

Read about the various membership levels and buy your pass through their Kickstarter.

Jim will be doing two panels accessible to all WyrdCon attendees (and webcast for everyone who pledges to their Kickstarter), plus a Master Class for the most serious writers. Jim’s LARP situation is still TBA, but I expect WyrdCon will keep folks updated on that score!

In case you missed our prior announcement, Jim will also be touring through Australia during most of April. A full list of Jim’s 2014 con dates is available on the forum! We should have news of Jim’s Skin Game signing tour in the next few months.

Finally, the news you’ve all been waiting for!

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the release of the 15th novel in the Dresden Files series, Skin Game, on May 27th! Even better, Orbit UK is matching Penguin Random House’s US release date, so fans in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and more can all enjoy Skin Game on the same day!
