From what I remember,Morgan said "He has probably picked up my scent" or something.I think the naagloshi wanted Morgan and was following Harry to find him.

I did a quick re-read of the naagloshii parts of Turn Coat and saw that it did indeed follow Morgan for a while. It might have been the same naagloshii that got nuked back in the 1950s. However, I think it wanted Morgan because it thought he was The Warden of Demonreach - not Dresden. The two were linked strongly enough for a while that some misdirection and an outsider's perspective might have caused the confusion in the naagloshii. When the skinwalker appears on Demonreach, it very purposely tries to break the wards surrounding the cottage and is unable to. What's under Demonreach? More naagloshii and maybe more monsters of its preference.

Injun Joe exhausted its magical reserves during the shapeshifting battle with his dine knowledge (easily one of the best views into the non-standard Christian/wizard/fairy magic in any fantasy series ever) and the naagloshii was forced to return to its home grounds to recharge.

It will be back and it knows now that Dresden is The Warden, not Morgan.

It better have not been the same Nasty from the 50s... For the love of all things holy I would hope a nuke would kill just about anything.

Big Nasty will be back huh? Never thought of it that way... It will be a good way for Thomas to maybe get retribution... (not in a fair fight)and Harry is a bit stronger... not that he could go toe to toe with it... Molly on the other hand... maybe she could now.

Could also be a reference to this "nemesis" infection. What's hiding under the skin? It's basically the Secret Invasion from Marvel Comics. Anyone could be infected or turned. Even Harry with out him even realising it.

Mentioned in another interview Here

Prospective title for book 16 is:

Bag Man.

so, aside from the obvious criminal linkage that (might, possibly, maybe) tie in to the 'heist' theme of book 15 that has already been mentioned,

anyone want to take a guess at what it could be about?

Anyone know of random/obscure mythology where an evil fairy/demon/whatever called the Bag Man exists?

I don't think so.

Vampires, Gods, Skinwalkers, Werewolves, Sorcerers, Faeries... I don't recall a Bogeyman.

Was a short story. Wizardry AAA or something.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Seems to me that faeries doesn't care about nutrition so I'm guessing its about obligation. Each time he give them pizza for a small favor or just becuase he does every week they become more and more in debt to him...

But who knows...


But that was partially payment for housekeeping.

Mind you, given that he's been houseless for a few months but the pizza kept going, they probably DO owe him quite a lot.

As a wild speculation type deal - think Toot and compatriots are going to keep growing? Toot was fairly small initially, and even Harry has mentioned his continued growth.

Considering that Harry is now tied in properly with the Fae courts, could there be a Lord/retainer relationship that could feed into a power boost for Toot et al?


I think the more authority/praise Toot gets from his liege the more powerful he gets, so if Harry keeps giving him 'tasks' (only you can protect the car, Toot-Toot!), and telling him a job well done, I think Toot will continue to get more and more powerful. I imagine that his increase in size is in relation to his power increase. By 20 Toot is going to be 'normal' size and his wings will drop off.


OR... Toot grows to the size of your average adult male, keeps the wings and takes up a sword! How cool would that be... a flying Knight of the cross who also happens to be the captain of Harry's personal guard. Though I guess that's he wont have had time to grow to that size by book 15 when speculation has it that fidelacchius is going to be taken up by someone, meaning that it would have to be Amoracchius, and I'm not sure that sword fits Toot.

Soooooooooooooooooo, who'd like an excerpt from 'Bombshells', the Molly POV short story being released in the Dangerous Women anthology December 3rd this year?

Nah, it seems to take place before Cold Days but after Changes.
