Order of Jim Butcher Books


Jim Butcher is an American author who is best known for his fantasy and sci-fi novels. He is the author of The Dresden Files and Codex Alera series. His wife Shannon K. Butcher is also an author.

Butcher’s influences include J.R.R. Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander and C.S. Lewis – names that any self-respecting fantasy novelist should be more than well-aware of. After many years of trying but unable to make any waves in the industry, he finally got his break and got published in 2000 with Storm Front.
