	Three decades ago, Jim Butcher put pen to paper and invented
	a wildly popular fictional universe. At the time, he was
	just trying to finish his homework.

	Butcher, then a 25-year-old grad student at the University
	of Oklahoma, had days earlier turned in an unfinished novel
	for a writing class. The book was about a wisecracking
	Chicago gumshoe named Harry Dresden, a wizard whose miserable
	love life was occasionally interrupted by a grisly supernatural
	murder.

	Butcher's professor liked what she read. She told him to
	bring an outline for "the rest of it" to their next session.
	"She meant the rest of the novel," Butcher recalled in an
	interview. "The next week, I rolled in with an outline for
	a 20-book series."

It's not all ducks & bunnies in his life though.
