We know it’s not the update you’re waiting for, but hopefully you’ll think it’s still cheerworthy!

First, we’re pleased to announce that Jim and Kitty will be returning to DragonCon this year. We don’t yet have their schedule for panels and signings, but we’ll update the site as soon as we have those details. In the meantime, if you’re a fan of cosplay, we suggest you consider attending the annual Dresden Files DragonCon Cosplay Shoot. It’s a lot of fun! Hope to see you there.

Next, Tor is holding a giveaway for the new paperback edition of Brief Cases! If you haven’t picked up this collection of Dresdenverse short stories, you’ll definitely want to. It contains twelve new stories from a variety of perspectives, including Harry, Marcone, Molly, Butters, Luccio, and even Maggie and Mouse! Will you be one of the lucky five to snag a copy?
