Jim Butcher is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera and the Cinder Spires series. His résumé includes a laundry list of skills which were useful a couple of centuries ago, and he plays guitar quite badly. An avid gamer, Jim plays tabletop games in varying systems, a variety of video games and LARPs whenever he can make time for it. He currently resides mostly inside his own head, but his head can generally be found in his home town of Independence, Missouri.

The Dresden files is my favourite series everDresden has a vitality that few urban fantasy heroes can matchButcher's storytelling is satisfying on a level that's bone-deepAn intensely enjoyable series
