Cool New Interviews

Quoted from jim-butcher.com

Quote:
May 10, 2013 - New Interviews

Jim has done a slew of interviews lately! Check ‘em out:

Geek Hard flagged Jim down at Ad Astra for a four-part interview spectacular: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
So did Rebecca Lovatt
John Ward interviewed Jim for his new G+ Urban Fantasy community Salt Circle
Angelique Toschi chatted with Jim at the conclusion of the WyrdCon Kickstarter.

Cool John Ward interviewed Jim for his new G+ Urban Fantasy community Salt Circle



May 9, 2013

This hangout was done for the Urban Fantasy Fans Author community on Google+. We spend a half-hour talking to Jim Butcher about his books and asking questions about the Dresden Files series. All of the questions were ones that were submitted by members of the Urban Fantasy Fans community.

Fated (2012)
Cursed (2012)
Taken (2012)
Chosen, slated for September 2013

If there's one thing all diviners share, it's curiosity. We really can't help it; it's just part of who we are. (here is the best part) If you dug a tunnel somewhere in the wilderness a thousand miles from anywhere and hung a sign on it saying, Warning, this leads to the Temple of Horrendous Doom. Do not enter, ever. No, not even then, you'd get back from lunch to find a diviner already inside and two more about to go in.


I can picture this so clearly in my mind. I love it when an author can do that.

And ... "Taken" ... as far as I am with it.

Best regards,

Thanks for the recommend, guys.
I picked up "Fated" a couple of days ago and powered through it. Now I'm halfway through "Cursed" and it's looking like this'll be another series that I'm gonna have trouble with waiting for the next installment.

Speaking of next installments, what's the count at for "Skin Game", Pookeysgirl?

:h elp:
Nyssa yells at me from time to time (actually quite often) for adding to her TBR that is already of considerable size. But she's never done so with such vehemence!

Not when I wrote it, and not when I try to edit it either. That's why I'm so confused. And annoyed, because it totally messes up my rant.

When I tried previewing it in edit mode, it always happened on the 9th and 17th s.

It appears there's a limit to repetitive smilies! Probably a bug. I always put a space before or after a smilie to seperate it from other stuff.
