"There is a lot of excitement too about the possibility of a Harry Dresden TV show. Any news on that front?"
Right now, it's being developed as a 2 hour back-door pilot, which means almost as much as the effort it took me to type that. :) Hollywood is like that. Nothing is certain until someone signs contracts and checks clear the bank.
However, if it does go forward, they'll work it up as a TV movie. Then, if the movie does well, they're looking at the possibility of producing a weekly series. At this point, it would seem that its prospects are bright enough that I don't feel too nervous about being cautiously optimistic. (Knock on wood.) There has been solid interest from the SciFi channel and talks and writeups are in progress, if not far enough for an actual script yet. There is positive buzz in general, but nothing reliable yet.
I keep everyone up to date with everything I can publically share on my homepage at www.jim-butcher.com, if anyone wants to track the project's progress.
Look Ma, I got a plug in! :)

Extremely, but also very fun. I found myself laughing at jokes James was reading, and it only hit me a couple of seconds later: "Hey, moron, you're the one who WROTE that. Why are you laughing?"

"Good luck with your writing"
Thank you very much!

Well there's no accounting for taste. :)
