Just when it looks like he can’t afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.

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. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
