Order of Jim Butcher Books
Jim Butcher is an American author who is best known for his fantasy and sci-fi novels. He is the author of The Dresden Files and Codex Alera series. His wife Shannon K. Butcher is also an author.
Butcher’s influences include J.R.R. Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander and C.S. Lewis – names that any self-respecting fantasy novelist should be more than well-aware of.

WHEN (APPROX) WILL THE NEXT HARRY ADVENTURE BE RELEASED? MY NEPHEW SAYS THERE WILL BE 2 BOOKS AND HARRY GOES ON HIS WELL EARNED VACATION, IS THIS TRUE?
THANKS
Last I heard, book #18 will be called “Twelve Months” and “Mirror Mirror” will be book #19. Unfortunately no release dates have been announced yet.
Fun, though almost “young adult” material.
There is no discussion I just wanna know what Harry Molly and Murphy are doing.
And could this be fixed. Ghost Story has been redone, so what about Turn Coat – kind of an important case book in the overall story.
Can anyone tell me why Turn Coat is not available as an audiobook on ITunes?
has anyone heard when the next dresden book is slated for release?? (i believe this would be #16 tentatively titled “Skin Games”) many thanks!!
Jim is one of the best story tellers I’ve read. J.r. Tolkien, Stephen Donaldson, Steven King, I could go on, but it’s a comment. Read his stuff, time well spent
love the dresden series, GREAT books!!!
