Jim Butcher
http://www.jim-butcher.com
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. He also enjoys fencing, singing, songwriting, and live-
action gaming. He works as a computer support technician,
although he has held a variety of jobs in the past, from
fast-food management to door-to-door vacuum selling. 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. Really bad.'
Fortunately for his many fans, he kept learning, and
writing, until he could bring Harry's not-quite-Chicago to
technicolor life. All that practice obviously paid off — in addition
to Harry Dresden's continuing adventures, Jim's first
hardcover fantasy series, FURIES OF CALDERON "Codex
Alera, Book 1", was published in October 2004.
