Hi Jim! SO excited to get my hands on The Aeronaut’s Windlass. Been needing my Butcher fix for quite a while now, so I cannot wait to start The Cinder Spires series.

I wanted to share something super special with you that I think in some level you can relate to due to recent events in your personal life. About two months ago, my best friend and love of my life asked me to marry him. As is his style, he made it the most perfect and unique proposal for us by popping the question during our trip to Chicago in front of our favorite T-Rex in the world, Sue.

His first gift to me, ever, was a copy of Storm Front. I finished the entire book in less than 2 days, and our love for the Dresden Files, and your work in general, became one more of the bonds that brought us together. Our first “couple-costume” was during Space City Con where he dressed up as Michael Carpenter and I as Susan Rodriguez. We’ve talked about naming our first-born Octavian (yes, I’m totally serious), and we’ve had endless conversations on your characters, your stories, and what we think will happen next.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you. You and your work have become an irreplaceable part of OUR story, and both times we’ve met you, you have been nothing but wonderful to these two fan boy/girl. We love telling our engagement story, and therefore I wanted to take this opportunity to share this with you, let you know you have a special place in our hearts, and needless to say, we would like to invite you to our wedding. I know you have a busy schedule, but if you have some time to come down to Texas and party with us, we’d love to have you there. I’ve messaged you a copy of our Save The Date

Live long and prosper, Jim!

Oh my god you nerds!

That is a fabulous engagement pic. I couldn't be more pleased that you guys found one another, and if my dopey little wizard books helped make it happen, then that's awesome.

Congratulations and may you both have many, many, many years of happy.

I've never been happier to be called a nerd, hah!

Congratulations to you as well! You deserve the bestest of the best. Thank you for the kind words and the wishes.
