I definitely will. I have a terrible memory so rereading them is almost like reading them for the first time.

...........................................

.....“If there is an author [who] defines urban fantasy, it is Jim Butcher.” —Fresh Fiction

.....Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day….

.....Because as Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it’s something awful.

.....He doesn’t know the half of it….

.....Mab has just traded Harry’s skills to pay off one of her debts. And now he must help a group of supernatural villains—led by one of Harry’s most dreaded and despised enemies, Nicodemus Archleone—to break into the highest-security vault in town so that they can then access the highest-security vault in the Nevernever.

.....It’s a smash-and-grab job to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure hoard in the supernatural world—which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the freaking Underworld and generally unpleasant character. Worse, Dresden suspects that there is another game afoot that no one is talking about. And he’s dead certain that Nicodemus has no intention of allowing any of his crew to survive the experience. Especially Harry.

.....Dresden’s always been tricky, but he’s going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess—assuming his own allies don’t end up killing him before his enemies get the chance….

Hidden cover is out!
Posted on December 13, 2013 by Benedict

The UK cover for Hidden has just been released! Take a look:

The release date has finally been confirmed, too: it’ll be coming out September 2014. As usual, I’ll post the first chapter here on this site a couple of months or so before release.

I like the cover for this one. The artist included a couple of little details that reference some new things that get introduced in the story. Pity you can’t read it yet . . . though I guess before that can happen I really need to finish editing it!

........................

I miss my boss.
.....It’s been most of a year since I helped him die, and ever since then I’ve been the only professional wizard in the city of Chicago.
.....Well, okay. I’m not, like, officially a wizard. I’m still sort of an apprentice. And no one really pays me, unless you count the wallets and valuables I lift from bodies sometimes, so I guess I’m more amateur than professional. And I don’t have a PI license like my boss did, or an ad in the phone book.
.....But I’m all there is. I’m not as strong as he was, and I’m not as good as he was. I’m just going to have to be enough.

I snip out the same general shape and content from any pic I stumble into while browsing and pay no attention to what he's doing, just collect the snipped image.

So you have an infinite supply of random pictures of him in weird clothes, shaved/unshaved/posing that you got from who knows where, not even you?
