Last Tuesday at the Unity Temple, Kansas City, Mo., Rainy Day Books hosted an event for Jim Butcher and his new Dresden Files book, Ghost Story (Roc)--one of the 300 events that Rainy Day puts on every year. Butcher, who lives in neighboring Independence, is "a rock star among bestselling authors," Rainy Day chief operations officer Roger Doeren said. "He gave our audience an amazing, entertaining and memorable experience." Butcher personalized attendees' books as well as signed special orders and remaining stock. Here he appears with Doeren (l.) and Rainy Day founder and president Vivien Jennings.
