I agree...let the man take some time off. We all need a life outside of work.

Most of us knew it was coming, but now it's official.

Sad, but official...   :'(

Here's to Jim!  May this year bring him Peace, Prosperity, Success to his next venture, and more Persecution of that Putz, Harry Dresden!

I heard Jim state this at the signing. It's sad that I won't get to see him around, he's a great guy to talk to, and an amazing public speaker, but he deserves some R & R.

What?!?!  Where did I put my torch and pitchfork?

*Deep breaths*  Alright.  I do love watching his Youtube Q&As after a book comes out, though.  I'd be satisfied with an interview or two (or maybe a public appearance somewhere close to home? *nudge, nudge*).
Don is the Prince of Anarchy  :P

Please excuse my grammar, and speling.

Here, you might not have seen this update to the interview list

First Update in a while.

These don't have much about the Dresden Files per say, but the Geeks Guide has some really cool anecdotes about Jim's father, and the NY Times profile says a lot about how Jim's EmberMUSH days helped hone his craft.

The Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy phone interview
NY Times profile (focuses on Jim's time playing AmberMUSH)
Short Story Geeks phone interview

BTW we are lucky.  The first thing Rothfuss says at signings is "no videos or audio recordings, I don't want this on youtube"

I think Rothfuss gets nervous about how he sounds on recordings. He almost didn't put up a video of him reading to his son for Heifer International because he was afraid of how it sounded :D.

That was because he was reading a book to his OMGADORABLE son, and he was unaware his voice jumped an octave in those conditions. :D

Pretty sure Jim only does that when he's speaking as Bob.   8)

I think when Jim decides to go around again he should come visit his fans up here in Canada! :D
He died doing the right thing.

Assuming, of course, that next winter isn't as mild here as this one has been.

Has Jim ever gone international?  I know that his fans on the other side of the pond would be wicked stoked.  I know that he's been to the Pacific north-west a few times.

He's been to Canada a time or two, but never beyond that.  He doesn't travel well, so overseas isn't really in the cards, as far as I'm aware.

So the man is like a fine wine, doesn't travel well and gets better with age.  Thanks Priscelle!
