About the author
Jim Butcher
200 books51.9k followersJim Butcher is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, and a new steampunk series, the Cinder Spires. His resume includes a laundry list of skills which were useful a couple of centuries ago, and he plays guitar quite badly. An avid gamer, he plays tabletop games in varying systems, a variety of video games on PC and console, and LARPs whenever he can make time for it. Jim currently resides mostly inside his own head, but his head can generally be found in his home town of Independence, Missouri.
Jim goes by the moniker Longshot in a number of online locales. He came by this name in the early 1990′s when he decided he would become a published author. Usually only 3 in 1000 who make such an attempt actually manage to become published; of those, only 1 in 10 make enough money to call it a living. The sale of a second series was the breakthrough that let him beat the long odds against attaining a career as a novelist.
All the same, he refuses to change his nickname.

April 30, 2026Early 2026 write-up
One of the problems with Goodreads as a site for reviewing books is this what I'm doing now. At last check the first draft of book 19 of the Dresden Files is in the 30% range.
And there are people giving it between 5 Stars and 1 Star ratings.
5 Stars I can get, they're fans of Jim - like me - and want to show excitement. There's going to be people hedging their bets on this book and going between 4 and 3 stars.
But 1 Star? In the run up to the writing of it? That's just shitty behaviour at the best of times, and totally something that shouldn't be done.
Not that they can't, mind you, but not acceptable for measuring something.
Fan culture, and the responding hater culture to it is a disaster and not something that should be replicated. Wait until it's out and give your star rating, it's what I'm doing even though I'm fairly sure this'll be a 4 or 5 star as I'm a fan of the series.
