Dead Beat, the seventh book of the Dresden Files due out in hardcover in May, now has some sample chapters up for you to read. Buckle your seatbelts, folks — this one’s a doozy.

All right James Marsters fans — there are some audio samples from James’ reading on the third Dresden Files book, Grave Peril, now available from the fine folks at Buzzy Multimedia.
Go to the Grave Peril Audio preorder page, and scroll down until you see the related files section near the bottom!

As you may have learned from reading the news items at our website, Dead Beat, book seven of the Dresden Files, has had its release date bumped up to May of next year — plus, it’ll be in hardcover.
We’ve now learned it’s already available for preordering online!
You can preorder through a local independent bookseller by way of BookSense.Com (Link), or if Amazon’s your thing, order there (Link).
Happy (pre)ordering!

We’ve got Dead Beat cover art!

You can also get a 1024×768 Wallpaper of the cover. This is a change of artist and the first time we’ve seen Harry on the cover!
EDIT: Several folks have asked about the cover’s art and design. The artist is Chris McGrath. The designer is Ray Lundgren.

Jim reports about the release dates on his next books:

I heard this week that my publisher is moving up the next Dresden book in the schedule. Book 7, Dead Beat, is coming out in hardback in May rather than August, so you get the new book 3 months early. Similarly, the next Furies book will be out in July rather than October. Cool, huh? 🙂
