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.

   Fun, though almost “young adult” material.

   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?

   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
