Very well, I still maintain he has no obligation to give a hoot one way or another, or to care if the Hugo even exists.

No, you are wrong, of course. The only right thing to do is that every single one of the past and current nominees bow out and give back their Hugo.

I wanted to let all Dresden Files Fans that Audible is giving out the new Marsters-narrated "Ghost Stories" for FREE if you had purchased the John Glover version!

This is a nice very gesture I think!

Below please find the email I received today

__________________________________________________ ______________




Dear Listener,


Here at Audible, we truly understand the power great performances bring to your favorite stories. And for long-running series, no matter how good a new voice may be, it can be hard to hear someone else bring beloved characters to life. So when Ghost Story: A Novel of the Dresden Files, Book 13, was narrated by someone other than series regular James Marsters, some listeners were disappointed.

We're happy to report that Ghost Story has since been re-recorded with the inimitable Marsters at the helm - and, since you're a fan of this series, we want you to have it free.

Just click on the link below to add the new version to your cart, and a promotion code will automatically be applied so you can complete your collection of Marsters-narrated Dresden Files. And if you happen to have already picked up a copy of the new version, this promo code will provide you with a replacement credit. The code will be valid for one week, and will expire on April 28, 2015.

Thanks, as always, for being a member. Remember, we're here 24/7 if you ever have any questions. Happy listening!

Sincerely,
The Audible Team

I could have sworn they gave away the old version for free, after they had so many complaints. I'm pretty sure that how I got it.

Cool REVIEW: Storm Front - Scooter Book Review

REVIEW: Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Friday , 17, April 2015 Scooter Book Review

Quote:
Jim Butcher is the author of the bestselling urban fantasy series The Dresden Files. “Skin Game”, his latest addition, was nominated for a Hugo in the Best Novel category.

As much as I wanted to dive right into “Skin Game”, my chronological compulsion got the better of me and I was forced to start at the beginning of the series with “Storm Front”.

Quote:
Harry Dresden–Wizard

Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment.
So we’ve got a wisecracking P.I. wizard who moonlights for the Chicago homicide division when the crimes involve the likes of vampires, sorcerers, and other supernatural beasties. The plot involves a series of grisly murders linked to the criminal underworld. In true pulp fashion, Dresden himself becomes the prime suspect.

The novel was Butcher’s first...Read this entire review at Castalia House.
