Happy News

You are read­ing the blog of the newest board mem­ber of Grants to You, a won­der­ful non-​​profit orga­ni­za­tion based in Prescott, Ari­zona. I’m going to be doing a lot of work involv­ing the web site and serv­ing on a new com­mit­tee. I’m tick­led pink!

In other news, I got to intro­duce some­one to the Dres­den Files today! I thought every­body had heard of Butcher’s books, but in case there’s another fan­tasy fan out there who has been deprived: you want to read these, I promise. They’re about Chicago’s only pro­fes­sional wiz­ard, Harry Dres­den. He rou­tinely deals with vam­pires, demons, were­wolves — you name it. There was a short-​​lived tele­vi­sion show that should have been longer, but it died the death of so many great shows (like Firefly).

Start with Storm Front, but know that you’ll want to have Fool Moon and Grave Peril handy.

I love them so much that I keep all four­teen vol­umes (thir­teen nov­els and a col­lec­tion of short sto­ries) on my Nook as com­fort read­ing. I’m eager to read num­ber four­teen, and I can’t think of many other authors who can keep the excite­ment going that long. I’ve never encoun­tered one per­son who doesn’t like these books if they’ve read them, so give them a try!

    Oh, it’s a vol­un­teer thing! But I’m just as tick­led about it any­way. Thank you!
