Paranet Papers Preorder Launches – Down Town #2 Drops – and Jim’s Going to the UK

Hail, faithful citizens of Jimlandia! We’ve got a trio of news items for you today.

Paranet Papers Preorder Begins!

Evil Hat Productions’ Dresden Files RPG supplement, The Paranet Papers, is in preorder now! If you preorder the book today, you’ll get the PDF as a free extra right away (as soon as your payment clears).

Better yet, if you’d prefer to support your local game store by preordering the book from them, the same offer exists! Point your FLGS of choice at this run-down of how to make it happen — or keep your receipt from the preorder and contact Evil Hat to get the PDF direct from them.

The PDF is only available as part of a preorder of the physical book right now. Evil Hat says they’ll release the PDF as a stand-alone product closer to the book’s shipping date in June.

Down Town #2 Lands Today

Harry and Molly’s battle against sorcerer and slime continues today with the second issue of Down Town, an original comic story from Jim Butcher & Mark Powers.

Something large, ruthless and possessed of supernatural power is smashing its way through Chicago-not to mention some of its residents. Harry and Molly are desperate to end its trail of destruction, but first they need to figure out what the blasted thing is.

Further complicating matters is the involvement of “Gentleman” Johnny Marcone, the city’s most powerful mob boss and recent signatory of the Unseelie Accords. Marcone is determined to find the creature, too—and if he has to go through Harry, so be it.

Read the details and catch a preview of the first few pages over at Dynamite’s site.

Jim Hits the UK and Hopefully It Doesn’t Hit Back

We have a tentative itinerary for Jim’s first trip to the UK (and a little bit of elsewhere).

Jim will be appearing, along with Seanan Mcguire and other guests of honor, at Eastercon 2015 from April 3rd to April 6th. Learn more details over at the Dysprosium/Eastercon 2015 website!

For up-to-date information about his appearance at bookstores in the UK, please check out this post on Orbit, covering appearances at Forbidden Planet London, Waterstones Deansgate Manchester, and Waterstones Liverpool One from April 7th to the 9th. Other dates or adjustments may show up on the schedule, so make sure to sign up for updates over at Orbit if you’re looking to catch Jim while he’s there.

We also hear he’ll be flying over to Sweden afterwards, making appearances at SF Bokhandeln in Stockholm on April 11th, and SF Bokhandeln in Gothenburg on the 12th. Both should be evening-ish appearances, but you’ll need to contact the bookstores themselves to get confirmation of the schedule at this time.

That’s it for today — we’ll update you when we learn more. Long live Jimlandia!

Marsters’ Ghost Story coming at last!

Your requests have been answered! The audio version of Ghost Story has been rerecorded by James Marsters. Although we’re indebted to John Glover for first bringing the book to life (or, y’know, afterlife), we’re thrilled James was available to bring continuity to the series!

Listen a sample clip on SoundCloud, then preorder the new edition on Audible!

For fans of John Glover’s excellent performance, be aware that the original recording will be retired on April 21st, so now’s your chance to nab a copy before it’s gone! Find it in the Jim-Butcher.com store.

Poor John. I hope he doesn't have a fragile ego.

Thank you.

We will all make sure to only link to youtube videos after the first one - so that there is at most one inline video.

"Book 16 will be titled PEACE TALKS, and will probably be one of the more supernaturally violent books to date.

"

Jim is still hoping to have it out in 2015. This doesn't mean it will for sure be done with enough time to hit the shelves before Christmas, but it's a bit of hope and we'll see how the year actually plays out for Jim.

Jim released the first sentence of Peace Talks via Twitter for our speculation and torment:

"The next book will take place pretty much not too long after the end of this previous one. Normally, there's more or less a year in between them because there's more or less a year in between them and it's just simpler for me, but this one will be, I think there's only - only about three months have gone by. We'll start it in the middle of the next Summer where, you know, Harry is living with his daughter and trying to be a dad while all of this stuff goes down. On the other hand, Maggie does have this big dog and if you want to mess with Maggie you've got to get through the big dog."

"A summit of the world's supernatural powers is being held to try to establish some sort of equilibrium and to get everything settled down in the wake of the vanishing of the red court. And I'm pretty sure everyone's going to sit down and have a nice cup of tea, there'll be a talk, and walk away holding hands."

So, we are looking at some supernaturally violent peace talks during which we will see more of Ebenezar, Thomas, Justine, the local Chicago crew, Molly, Maggie, Mouse and Harry trying to be a dad. And apparently these "peace talks" will be accompanied by property damage.

TORMENT?
Torment doesn't even begin to describe it!
And just when I was starting to really get excited about "Cinder Spires" too. Now "Peace Talks" is all I can think about!

And being "more supernaturally violent"?? Icing on the cake!
While it's great to have a couple of "Empire Strikes Back" style lead ups and characterizing stories, man I LOVE it when Jim goes full on action "Return of the Jedi" nonstop FUEGO!

I cannot wait for this to be released. It is going to be epic.
