How's this one - why BK instead of Wendy's since the Baconator is obviously the superior burger...

The burger itself is still better at the BK Lounge.

Give the newbie a break, Shecky! No harm in asking. It's not like Jim's gonna give him a straight answer anyway. We all know he's more Fae than Mab!  ;D

And it still won't get an answer out of him until the following books come out. :D

Here's another question that won't likely get an answer :P

Why is Demonreach "aptly named"?
Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods...
-The Lay of Horatius

Jim'll tell us in the books when the chances of smacking us with the most possible drama are maximized. :D

Because the demon in the island reaches out to touch someone whenever they hop on :)
Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

I think that is because there is a door to hell or because the ley line comes from hell.
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Considering the somewhat vague state of the word "Demon" as an appellation in the DV, who knows what exactly Demonreach is involved with?

Ok, here's something minor enough to perhaps warrant a few answers.  ;D

What exactly was the Brute Squad, from Archangel?  Speculation is that they were some sort of combat specialists, but not Wardens.  Or is Bob just a big Princess Bride fan(atic)?  Furthermore, can we get some details on Archangel?

I guess we should try the veal..?

I have a question for Jim:

Have you considered publishing the series of essays on writing that you've put up on your LiveJournal?

I've read them several times, and always find them helpful, funny and inspiring, but I would love to have a printed, bound copy of them (along with any other advice you wanted to take the time to write down ;D) on my shelf for easier reference.

Like maybe as an appendix to your next collection of short stories?

Pretty please?

Jim, while we know you have a plethora of ideas you'd like to write besides Harry, have you settled on one yet? We know you need the additional stimulation and pressure of writing two series along with the con trips, short stories, gaming, parenting, husbanding, lawn mowing, etc. to make you happy.

Thanks!

Just after Susan was infected by the red court and Dresden was working himself to the bone to find a cure, did you reference how you look when you work yourself too hard?

I read somewhere (not sure if it was in a transcripted interview or on the forums) that the ends of the black staff have the ability to take life and give it back. If this is the case has Eb ever used the staff to its full potential?

I think he said his favorite villian to write was Nicodemus. Don't quote me on it, but that is what I remember.

I wonder...
