Jim Butcher's book/TV series - The Dresden Files

Hey, anyone ever hear of this new series coming to the Sci Fi channel called The Dresden Files. It is about a guy named Dresden who is a modern day wizard (literally, apparently) living in Chicago. He occasionally helps out the Chicago PD with the odd case. The very odd case. As in werewolves, demons - that sort of thing. The literary agent who discovered Mr. Butcher is the same one who discovered Laurel K. Hamilton, the authoress of the highly successful "Anita Blake - vampire executioner" series. Apparently, Butcher is a real success story himself. His first book's first run completely sold out in 3 days: it was 15,000 copies. That is not bad start. That is a hundred copies per day, per state, for 3 days - when nobody has even heard of the book yet. There is a placeholder for Jim Butcher on 43 People, which he has yet to claim but at least one fan has announced themselves on. I skimmed the first part of the first chapter of one of his books over at Jim Butcher.com His bio in Wikipedia sounds pretty interesting. Any other potential future fans of the show out there besides me? Anyone here read any of his books?
