THE END! Plus Going Grey and Trailer Talk

A tweet from Jim Butcher/longshotauthor that reads: THE END. I love typing that.

Peace Talks is complete! The final chapter is now in the betas’ sinister clutches, and soon it’ll be off to his editor and on to publication. We should have a release date for you very soon!

DRESDEN GOES GREY

In the meantime, Jim has a new short story in LJ Hachmeister and RR Virdi’s multi-author anthology, “Parallel Worlds: The Heroes Within.” It’s set in the Dresden universe, but it has a very unconventional protagonist: shapeshifter-for-hire Goodman Grey! This anthology is slated for release in electronic edition October 8th, but you can preorder your copy here. There will also be a physical edition at some point, but the details are still being hammered out. We’ll keep you informed!

TRAILER TALK

Loving the rush of trailers coming out of Comic Con this weekend?  So are we.  In fact, we love trailers so much that we’re currently in pre-production on a book trailer for Peace Talks!  It’ll be a live action, cinematic-style production that promotes the book like it could be the next big Marvel movie, albeit with a tiny fraction of their budget. 😀 

We know there’s a crazy amount of talent in the fandom, so we’re looking to hire fans of the series that are qualified pros in the filmmaking world to join our scrappy little band. We’re filming in Los Angeles, so all candidates must be LA local (unless willing to cover their own housing and transportation) and eligible to work in the United States.
