Audio delay
Unfortunately, due to production delays, the audio book versions of Proven Guilty, White Night, and Turn Coat have been pushed back to April 30th. Many online retailers still list April 2nd or April 7th as the release date, but this is incorrect. Apologies for the inconvenience.
But don’t worry, this doesn’t affect the hardback release of Turn Coat! It’s still due in stores April 7th. You can pre-order yours through the Jim-Butcher.com Store or get a signed, personalized copy through the Dog Eared Books Virtual Signing.
For the time being, read all five Turn Coat sample chapters here, or listen to Jim reading them aloud on the Butcher Block podcast. You can also see if Jim is touring to a city near you!
