Ghost Story
One oft-cited recommendation to writers is never to write about ghosts or angels. After all, they’re dead, so where’s the story?
But Jim Butcher with his latest Harry Dresden book, “Ghost Story” proves the exception to the rule.
I read it in a night.
If you haven’t read the Dresden Files, you should start with “Storm Front.”
The down side, of course, is that I now have to wait another year for the next book!

Wait another year? Oh my – where have I heard that one before? Oh yes – my bookstore when I asked after your next work. 🙂 Seriously (and with no malice) I almost wish to tell you to stop reading and start writing. Your public awaits!
Ah, well, after Dragon Time – I guess I can re-read ALL the books of PERN again.
Most seriously – really enjoying your books – a great complement to your Mom’s work, – and vice versa.
I haven’t read it yet but it is on my list. I love The Dresden Files i was disappointed when the TV show got canceled. Yeah we have to wait another year but at least is not as bad as Jean M Auel Who takes at times 6+ years in between her books, Or Christopher Paolini with 2.5-3 years in between his. Given Christopher’s books are huge so they don’t disappoint i just read to fast! I just got Dragon Time so I will be going to read it now! Keep writing I love that you are able to keep Pern alive, it was the first Sci fi/ fantasy series i read after all and Pern has a special place in my heart!
Amy,
The TV show was a sad, pale shadow of the actual books.
Thanks, Dutch!
Just thought I’d mention it – but remember how I said I will re-read the entire series?
Yep – done with all the books. Just have a few shorts left (Runner and Beyond Between).
What to do… what to do …
Please write faster! 🙂
