We are DELIGHTED to share an excerpt from the long-anticipated Twelves Months by Jim Butcher, book 18!!! in The Dresden Files!! Harry Dresden has found himself in a bit of a, um, compromising position with Himself:

Amigos, esta autora aqui tem o prazer de anunciar que agora é agenciada pela Jennifer Jackson - @arcaedia.bsky.social -, da Donald Maass Literary Agency. Estou feliz? Pra caramba. Muitos #VemAí nos esperam num futuro próximo.

Thrilled to welcome Clara! Wait until you all see what she's working on!
