Happy Birthday Jim Butcher

I want to wish a special happy birthday to one of my favorite authors, Jim Butcher.

Jim Butcher is a best selling author most known for his Dresden Files series of novels. Jim has also published the Codex Alera series, a more traditional fantasy series. According to his website, Butcher wrote the first Dresden novel for a writing class with the second being for the following semester. Jim gives an account of what if took to get published on his web site and emphasizes to not give up and always conduct yourself like a professional.

Jim Butcher is a martial arts enthusiast and is proficient in many different styles. He enjoys fencing, singing, bad science fiction movies, and live-action gaming. He lives in Missouri with his wife, son and a vicious guard dog. Jim is known locally as "Longshot", a reference to the high odds of becoming a successfully published author.
