Jim Butcher has a Dresden short story in the collection Blood Lite. You might remember the first Dresden novel had a blurb by Glen Cook saying that Cook wished he'd thought of this setting (wise talking film noir wizard detective in a modern setting). Anyway, in the story in Blood Lite ("Day Off"), Dresden has his prized, planned, first day off in months ruined by ... well, let's just say it's ruined. Near the end of the story his girlfriend arrives while Dresden is giving the kiss of life to a bare breasted teenage girl while a naked couple huddle inside a mystic circle inside his smoke filled apartment. Anyway, during the chaos leading up to that point: "... sent me tumbling back across the room and into one of my bookshelves. I rebounded off it, fell on my ass, and sat there stunned for a second as copies of the *Black Company* novels fell from the shelf and bounced off my head." It's nice to see a reference like that in short story. Let's hope they were the paperbacks and not the hard covered Glittering Stone novels. Richard
