I knew it was coming from the end of Summer Knight, but who else was Bummed out when you heard about Michael being crippled... seriously, Michael is a great character, and it seems really messed up to kind of write im off as not being a knight anymore and crippling him... any ideas if anything will change with him? or is he out for good... magic and everything... maybe he wont stay crippled  ;) I know, wishful thinking

Read Jim's short story "The Warrior," found in the anthology Mean Streets.  You can grab it from our store here!  It follows Michael post-Small Favor, and it's my favourite short story Jim has written.

Something that might be worth adding to the timeline, but its a little different from the rest since its rather speculative. 
Jim has said that he intends to do 20 Dresden books followed by an apocalypse trilogy.  Well so far the books pace at between 1/2 and 1 1/2 years between books.  If they stay on pace that puts the Apocalypse going down at in about 5-14 years or 15-24 ASF with the average being at around 19 ASF.  its a pretty wide gap, I know, but its something we can be fairly sure is going to come around. 

Not sure its something that fits the timeline, but every time i get somebody new hooked on these books they always ask me if anyone knows how long its going to last ans such, so the whole 20 books + apocalypse trology  tends to come up a bunch

Hmm, I'm not comfortable making that kind of blind guess.  Good thought, though!

 Does that include short stories?  Because, if it doesn't , he is only half way though.. At the pace of one book a year or one and half years, that is another ten years, don't know if I will live that long..

There are probably enough Dresden short stories out by now to make up a full-sized novel. And they're all well worth reading, too.

Nah, Bob was hidden by Justin, Harry just knew where to look in the rubble, Justin would have know how to hide something from the wardens since he had been one.  At least that's my take.

This might be in here already (23 pages + lazy me = no research:

Quote
~44-52 BSF:  Michael is born. 
~31-37 BSF:  Charity is born.  Dates are VERY approximate, but I'm working on narrowing it down.

that puts them at 13-15 years apart in the timeline but The Warrior has this line:
