I hope so, but on the other hand Jim does like to inflict pain on Harry. This will definitely hurt him bigtime, especially if he thinks (and he will...) that it is his fault. Also, I think the rage should enable him to break his barrier to become more powerful or at least be able to tap into his potential more.

The barrier is something I think he has. Whether he himself put up this barrier or it was placed upon him (his mother/Mab/Ebenezer/Outsiders/etc) I do not know. It keeps him from reaching his potential. He has a lot of raw power, but cannot handle it. He should be able to reach Cowl levels or higher.

Who says Murphy is Karrinn Murphy in the funeral?

Good question. Butcher is usually pretty cagey when asked about "what comes next".

This is what I thought too.
A straight out answered spoiler on Twitter? I doubt it.
Although it could be any number of Murphys, remember the giant family reunion scene in Blood Rites?

And great to have you back, Alan. Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I think it is exactly how he says. A straight spoiler. Watch, will make it funny if true. You think he is pulling your leg now ...

Jim Butcher visited our boutique in Stockholm, signed books and answered some questions.

Alan, I'm a little confused. Your profile says that you're in the U.S., but this post says that Mr Butcher visited "our boutique in Stockholm". Are you referring to YOUR boutique? If not, why do you not provide an attribution for your source? You can't just copy other people's material without permission or attribution: that's copyright infringement.

Now go take a look at the Youtube page for that video, and your confusion will magically clear up.

P.S. If someone posts a Youtube video, generally speaking, it is considered mildly acceptable and downright legal for random other people to link to or embed said video at will. The source URL is all the attribution that matters in my book, and I assume MobileRead agrees since the Youtube bbcode exists in the first place.

It was not the video that I was referring to (which is of course not copied, but simply linked to), but the text under it, which is not a part of the video, and is neither linked nor attributed.

I think that is nitpicking Harry...

No, it's not. It is unattributed copying of someone else's material, and to me, at least, it was not at all clear, reading the post, who the text was talking about. All that would have been necessary to make it clear would have been to add an attribution: "Fred in Stockholm posted the following....".

Attribution, please!
