	SensualRomance Reviews: Jim Butcher
		Jim Butcher is a ten-year-plus student of martial arts and a skilled rider who has performed as a summer camp horse wrangler and in front of large audiences in both drill riding and stunt riding exhibitions.
		Jim lives in Missouri with his wife, son, and a houseful of computers.
		In Jim's own words, his first attempt at a novel — when he was just 19 — 'was horrible.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Storm Front / Jim Butcher
		Butcher demonstrates rather cleverly that just because a writer hasn't got fresh ideas going for him doesn't mean he can't be a creative and energetic storyteller all the same.
		Storm Front is, if nothing else, a love letter from Jim Butcher to all the stories, movies, television, comics, and whatever else that he grew up with, and on which he cut his artistic teeth.
		But by the time Butcher has a few more of these under his belt, it will be easy to imagine this series captivating a new generation, the way guys like Tarantino and Butcher were once captivated.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Furies of Calderon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		At the start of Butcher's absorbing fantasy, the first in a new series, the barbarians are at the gates of the land of Alera, which has a distinct flavor of the Roman Empire (its ruler is named Quintus Sextus and its soldiers are organized in legions).
		Jim wanted to be a writer and put the time and effort into learning his craft, churning out reams of copy and working the system until he came up with a winner, 'The Dresden Files'.
		Jim obviously hasn't put a lot of thought into the 'rules' of this world, with the result that it's not at all believable.

	Wizards Harry.com, about Jim Butcher.
		Mainly that is because the author, Jim Butcher, is my baby brother and I have a different view of him.
		Jim grew up in an average American household with Mom,Dad, and two older sisters that doted on him.
		Imagination kicked in early for Jim, He would tell stories before he could talk (mostly giant birds) and he still is telling stories, they're just longer now.

	Crescent Blues \| Author Interview: Jim Butcher: "Longshot" Makes Good
		Jim Butcher: I tried to write Harry not as a shining hero or as a villain, but as somebody you might actually meet or know -- or at least as somebody that you can understand why he makes the decisions he makes.
		Jim Butcher: The guy I played this last weekend was a loud-mouthed troublemaker who gets frustrated when things are really complicated and who gets to do much kicking down of doors and hacking up of people.
		Jim Butcher: The story is about a boy who gets asked to do a favor by a girl and against his better judgment agrees, and as a result, winds up nearly wrecking his country.

	Authors B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Jim Butcher’s series isn’t quite a vampire series although vampires do inhabit the world, along with faerie, demons, and other supernatural creatures.
		In addition to Jim Butcher’s fast-paced-action, near- death experiences, there is a lot of humor and interesting ideas like a God’s warrior who claims to be an atheist.
		Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files is well worth reading, each and every one of them, but especially DEATH MASKS.

	Jim Butcher--Summer Knight
		As in each of the previous books, a little more of his past is revealed--this time, his relationship with Elaine, his treacherous first love whom he believed was dead, and the part she played in his long-ago slaying of his mentor Justin.
		Butcher also adds depth to his supernatural scenario, giving the reader insight into the inner workings of the wizards’ hierarchy, as well as the relationship between the various factions--the White Council, the Vampire Courts, the Faerie realms.
		Butcher knows how to keep the balance, though, delivering full-bore supernatural confrontations with all the proper trimmings, and pulling out all the stops for the spectacular faerie battle at the climax.

	Amazon.com: Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		If Butcher deserves to have all but one star stripped from a rating for accurately reporting an event that was already written of in a much more widely published book (I don't have to explain that one, do I?), then we have a problem here.
		Butcher introduces some new nasties in the Denarians, associates of the Fallen, who gain power and corruption by possessing the thirty coins of Judas.
		Butcher obviously takes time to piece together his stories, drawing on twists of religious history and the occult, and building on events from the previous books.

	Jim Butcher, Summer Knight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The Faerie courts are at war, there's a catastrophe developing in the world of the wizards, and an old man in Chicago has died of unknown causes.
		Butcher does a fine job of keeping the mystery in his mystery story.
		Butcher makes his slightly altered Chicago familiar and solid without overexplaining it or alienating readers who have never visited the real city.

	ParanormalRomance Reviews: Jim Butcher, Summer Knight Review
		While doing the research, Harry has let everything else go - - his apartment rent is due, his cupboards are bare, he looks like a homeless shelter reject, and his status as a wizard could be yanked at will by the White Council.
		Butcher has taken the plot threads from his previous three entries (Storm Front, Fool Moon and Grave Peril) and has woven them into another strong story.
		Some of the threads he ties off, others still lay loose ready to be woven into the next case file, and new ones are brought in to foreshadow the future, but all are handled with continued care to maintain the internal logic of Harry's preternatural world.

	Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5) Reviews, Ratings, Prices, Deals
		With Death Masks Jim Butcher's modern day wizard starts to evolve and become a complex human being not so much just a cliche of superhero attributes.
		In Death Masks the best villians of the series are introduced, The Denarians 30 fallen angels whose posses you through contact with one of the 30 pieces of silver (or denarius as they were called orignally).
		Yes these are the coins that Judas was paid to betray Jesus Christ.In this book Butcher's wizard grows up and enters a larger scale of evil where the hero won't just walk away unscathed and is pressured to do things we never thought he was capable of.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Grave Peril
		Jim Butcher lives in Oklahoma with his wife and son and a houseful of computers.
		Jim Butcher, on the other hand, is doing just fine with The Dresden Files.
		Butcher adroitly weaves these threads together, creating an engrossing tale whose many twists and turns are occasionally dizzying, but always well-grounded.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Dead Beat
		Butcher may drop characters out of the spotlight, but he never forgets that they're there, or that they lead lives of their own off screen, as best represented by the maturation and evolution of the Alphas, Harry's pack of werewolf friends.
		I can honestly say that there were times in this book when I was cursing Jim Butcher for the hell he puts his characters through, and the way he's capable of yanking the rug out from underneath us.
		Butcher's blending of modern fantasy with classic noir sensibilities ensures that there's never a dull moment in what has fast become one of my favorite series.

	Jim Butcher, Dead Beat
		Jim Butcher does an amazing job creating a world where magic is real but kept tightly under wraps from the average, everyday folk.
		Butcher takes legends like the Leanansidhe, the Erlking and Queen Mab, and fleshes them out as full-fledged characters in their own right.
		Butcher also adds vampires, zombies and ghouls and makes it seem like they really could be out there somewhere.

	Amazon.com: Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera, Book 1): Books: Jim Butcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Jim Butcher has created an interesting world with this novel and it is obvious that most of the secrets of Tavi's family have yet to be explored, but thankfully there will be another book which may flesh out some of the lingering mysteries.
		My only slight disappointment is that Butcher succumbed to the fantasy cliché of using an orphaned 15 year old boy as his central character - but that did not stop me actually liking Tavi.
		I am a fan of Jim's "Dresden Files" so when I saw that he was writing a fantasy novel, I was a bit skeptical as to whether or not he could pull it off.

	Amazon.com: Dead Beat (The Dresden Files, Book 7): Books: Jim Butcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Butcher's latest maintains the momentum of previous Dresden outings and builds the suspense right up to a rousing conclusion.
		Can't decide whether that is the novel length requirement for hardcover or that Jim Butcher is distracted with his new series.
		That seems to be a sign that you've "made it" in the publishing world; witness the crossover from PB to HB by such authors as Charlaine Harris (the Southern Vampire series), Mary Janice Davidson (the Betsy Taylor, Queen of the Vampires series), and of course, Laurell K Hamilton (the Anita Blake series).

		No sophmore slump here for Butcher; Harry's second adventure is even better than the first -- no fooling.

	Review of THE FURIES OF CALDERON by Jim Butcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Butcher branches out from the urban landscape of his Harry Dresden series to an epic adventure worthy of Terry Goodkind and George R.R. Martin.
		But Butcher overcomes cliché with strong characterizations of Tavi's fierce determination, Alera's unflinching loyalty and a multitude of good- and evil-doers.
		Although they are enmeshed in a typical good-over-evil quest, the characters are ones we come to care about and want to follow through to their reward.

	Storm Front by Jim Butcher - Official sffworld.com review
		Jim Butcher’s Storm Front took caught my eye with some new classy understated covers here in the UK.
		Though you may have met these ideas before, I found that Jim Butcher’s version is a lot of fun.
		Whilst laughing at Harry’s misfortunes with technology (being a wizard means that modern stuff doesn’t always work that well), I was also thrilled at the sheer unpleasantness of characters such as Bianca, the vampire mistress, who runs a high class brothel in the city.

		Dead Beat is the 7th book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and like all the previous books it centers on Harry Dresden a Wizard/Detective based in Chicago.
		Blood Rites is the sixth book of Jim Butcher's Dresden files and the last to be published, so far.
		In the fifth Harry Dresden novel, Death Masks, Jim Butcher ratchets up the horror once more, but not at the expense of the trademark humor of the series.

		He also realizes that he really likes a certain pain in the butt Chicago police lieutenant so that in spite of the mundane and mystical assaults he feels pretty good about his life.
		Jim Butcher provides another triumphant tale that will garner him more readers wanting the next Dresden file.
		Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, takes on a case as a favor to his friend Thomas-a vampire of dubious integrity-only to become the prime suspect in a series of ghastly murders.

	Jim Butcher--Death Masks
		Butcher is going from strength to strength in this excellent series.
		Death Masks is his most assured book yet, a smooth melding of inventive storylines, dark supernatural themes, edge-of-your-seat adventure, strong characterizations, and irreverent humor.
		Part of the reason it all works so well is the deft way Butcher mixes the frenetic action with quieter, more contemplative moments, never forgetting his characters’ more vulnerable and human sides (even when they aren’t human).
