One of the best things about working for a newspaper is getting to, sometimes, meet your heroes. This time it was author Jim Butcher, creator of the best-selling Dresden Files books, and I had a wonderful 20-minute phone conversation with him about creating Dresden, his writing style, and why vampires will never die. Undie. Whatever. The entire interview can be read here.
I also posted a review of the latest Dresden book, “Cold Days.” Short version: buy it so he’ll write the next one. Hurry!
