Urban Fantasy
Jim Butcher is the author of the Dresden Files, Codex Alera, and Cinder Spires series.
He resides in Independence, Missouri, and has a diverse range of skills more suited to earlier centuries.
Butcher is an avid gamer, enjoying tabletop, video, and live-action role-playing games.
He adopted the online moniker "Longshot" in the 1990s when pursuing his goal of becoming a published author, reflecting the slim odds of success in the field.
