UPS delivered a package to me today from Will I Martin at Penguin Random House in New York City!! It's the big paperback version and is labled as an Advance Reading Copy which is is a free copy of a new book given by a publisher to booksellers, librarians, journalists, celebrities, or others, or as a contest or school prize, before the book is printed for mass distribution. As to why I received a copy, I'm unsure.

Jim Butcher was born on October 26, 1971 in Independence, Missouri, USA. He is the youngest in the family with two older sisters. He currently resides in his hometown. Butcher developed a keen interest in fantasy and science fiction novels in his childhood. It was when he was ill his sister would bring him reading materials like The Han Solo Adventures and The Lord of the Rings he wouldn’t get bored. At the young age of 19, Butcher wrote his first novel but it felt unsatisfactory to him so he wrote two more novels which again failed live up to the standards. The writing process of these three novels gave him some experience so that he would rewrite the first novel. This is how he created his notable Harry Dresden character Dresden Files. These early novels were part of his writing class project. After a series of rejection from agents and editors, Butcher’s Storm Front the first book Dresden Files got published by Roc Books in 2000. Subsequent to the success of Dresden Files, Jim Butcher started off a new traditional fantasy fiction project . . .

This article sounds like a horrible gone wrong translation from an unknown language. The website's worth of $10K is based on what? Not sure I understand the number if supposedly it may generate $400 a month?

Oh, I agree, Bartley can't write very well and if he has an editor, the editor can't edit very well either. Also many of the facts seem a bit skewed. All in all a poor effort.

Quote:

The world of Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, is rife with intrigue–and creatures of all supernatural stripes. And you’ll make their intimate acquaintance as Harry delves into the dark side of truth, justice, and the American way in this must-have short story collection.

From the Wild West to the bleachers at Wrigley Field, humans, zombies, incubi, and even fey royalty appear; ready to blur the line between friend and foe. In the never-before-published ‘Zoo Day,’ Harry treads new ground as a dad, while fan-favorite characters Molly Carpenter, his onetime apprentice, White Council Warden Anastasia Luccio, and even Bigfoot stalk through the pages of more classic tales.

With twelve stories in all, Brief Cases offers both longtime fans and first-time readers tantalizing glimpses into Harry’s funny, gritty, and unforgettable realm, whetting their appetites for more to come from the wizard with a heart of gold.

Brief Cases hits bookstores everywhere June 5th, 2018.
