I was first made aware of Jim Butcher when I found out that the one book my all-time favourite author Glen Cook wanted his fans to read (other than his own, I suspect, but that was never asserted) was Storm Front by this new and talented author. I checked with Amazon, and found that he had already released Fool Moon as well, so I ordered them both to cut down on shipping (yes, the actual shipping went up, but the shipping per book went down - so I am irrational, sue me).

After this, it has been a waiting game for the new releases. Buying hardcovers to get the books fast, then again as paperbacks to get a matching set on the shelves.

The TV show? I don't remember when i first heard about it, probably through the newsletter. I didn't have a chance to watch any of it until it was released on DVD, though.
