Mickey Finn:
DRESDEN FILES (Books)

Is it just me, or did the name of Bianca's assistant (who died in Storm Front and came back in Grave Peril as a ghost)  change between books?

Nope, it's not you. From a board discussion about evil being intent or consequences, Jim lists out several examples of the consequences side of that equation, where the intentions were good, and ends on this little tidbit:
"I just wanted to get that book finished while working two jobs and finishing a brutal semester of grad school.  It wasn't my intention to screw up the name of Bianca's personal assistant whose death had motivated her to go all power hungry to get revenge on Harry."

Murphy's mom didn't let her go to her own prom.  The age at which she was "allowed" to drink may not have been 21. :D
