The Restoration of Faith
All authors should have a website for this reason: I had never heard of Jim Butcher or The Dresden Files, and then I read a short story called The Restoration of Faith that is available for free on his website. Now I’ve bought and read the first book in the series (Storm Front) and the next couple are on top of my Christmas wishlist.
“I struggled to hold onto the yowling child while fumbling a quarter into the pay phone and jamming down the buttons to dial Nick’s mobile.” (read the rest of the story on butcher’s site)
