I would love it if Jim would visit Los Angeles. The Barnes and Nobel at the Grove would be amazing, but if you don't want to do the corp thing Romans in Pasadena is a legendary independant book store. I'm a newer fan. I began reading about two years ago when I finished reading every book ever written by my go to authors and my sister asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said I wanted a book from a new amazing author that I could get into. She sent me the first three Dresden Files books. I loved them and have been hooked ever since. In the down time between new releases I read everything Jim Butcher has published. In turn I hooked my boyfriend and he hooked his best friend I've even gotten a few co-workers to become fans. Please come to L.A. you have a market. When I went about 15 minutes after the Barnes and Nobel opened to buy Cold Days I grabbed the book, went to the counter to pay and the sales person asked, "Are these books good because we just opened and I've had a bunch of people purchase this book?" I responed, " I've been waiting for this for months. The series is  amazing though a bit culty.you should check it out." Then of course left to go home and finish reading it that day.
