A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut's Windlass.

The first six novels featuring Harry Dresden-Chicago's only professional wizard-are a perfect introduction to the # 1 New York Times bestselling series that Entertainment Weekly describes as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe."
