Wizards and Vampires..oh my!!

Some of my favorite authors seem to be landing TV series this year. Namely Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files and Tanya Huff’s Bloodties. I hope to see more Fantasy Books make it to prime time.

Very cool - didn't know about Bloodties though I'm glad you said something, I'm going to DVR it now.

As for the Dresden files, been watching that since it came out and although I like it, I really am a fan of the series of books and I'm rather miffed that they've switched out so much neat stuff in order to make it 'fit' into a TV show.

Ah well, just have to get past that and its still an enjoyable series.

oh man, on lifetime? no wonder I dismissed it without a 2nd thought :(

LOL....I miss Dresden’s beat up old VW bug..the jeep doesn’t make it. But I like the new Bob.

I watched Bloodties because it was a sexy vampire show and as the story line went on, I said to myself I know I have read this in a book. Then after the detective say she had failing eyesight, then I knew where. :)

also in the books both Murphy and Henry where very short and fair looking, with Henry swinging AC/DC.

When did it start? I cant eben tell how far into the series it is.

Bloodties started last Sunday night and was a two hour special, then it will run one hour.

Very cool news, thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this one.

Ooooh .. you're kidding! I just read all those back to back three weeks ago (except for the last one which was in hardback only and I hate buying hardbacks). I was a bit worried they would be a bit foofoo when I picked them up but I loved them.

Thanks for the headsup on that.
