Questions Specifically for Jim, Part 3

[ranlynn]

Interesting to know, thanks.  Which still sucks for us.  Darn publishers.

There's a collection of Jim's DF short stories coming out later this year.

Barnes & Noble has it for pre-order (hardback rel Oct 26, 2010). It's supposed to have all (or most) of the DF shorts published seperately in other anthologies & the two on his website.

At the signing I went to he also said it would also include a 'novella' from Murphys POV that picks up about 30-45 minutes after the last scene in 'Changes'.

When were the Old Ones cast out, before humanity or did we already exist?
And by whom?

was Harry's father a vanilla mortal? or was he something more? u said harry had the power to fight the outsiders, well no other wizard has that power, why does he have it? he didnt get it from his mothers side? and we know very little about his father plus maggie dresden had a knack for being involved with dangerous induviduals, maybe his father was an outsider or demonic figure in the guise of a human?

How far have you read into the series?  Harry's potential to wield power over Outsiders - and how it came about {to some small degree} - is discussed by Lash/Harry in White Night.

Malcolm Dresden was vanilla mortal.

Malcolm Dresden was vanilla mortal.

Malcom was vanilla, no doubt about it. But he might come from some über awesome bloodline.

I get the feeling that Maggie LeFay engineered Harry's birth to the last detail.

Happy belated birthday, then!

And I'm April 11--it is a great month to have a birthday.

It truly is. Especially since I have the excuse of a Dresden book in April to look forward to.

Does anyone know if we will be seeing Tera West again? I'd actually really like to see her again

Or is that whole story pure myth with no basis in DV history ?

I think I remember Jim saying that we do.  Anyone else remember that?

He just answered this in the bittenbybooks q&a.  He said he was thinking a later book  but it may get bumped up to 13 depending on how the story goes.

"I seem to remember at a Q&A a few years ago, you said Tera West would be showing up in Book 13 aka Ghost Story. Is this still happening, or has her character been shuffled down the line a bit due to the change in total number of case file books?"
My first answer is "bump her down a couple." But on the other hand, it might be interesting to see her again in this book.
We'll see what happens.

Weee!!! I personally always liked Tera

Hee!!
