Someone mentioned a piece of artwork featuring Molly Carpenter from "Mirror Mirror". I found it here, by Lee Moyer. Dude is pretty good:

Some interesting tidbits from the AMA:

Mirror universe Harry is different by one choice. One. And everything else just follows after that.

Ebenezer's enemies got to his wife. That is, ultimately, why he hid his daughter and had little to do with her until she was grown and had shown that she had power. And, ultimately, why she wound up being a wild child and rebel and getting into a world of trouble.
Quote
Drakul wasn't a scion of anything! He was something entirely unhuman that got trapped in human form. Dracula was his half-human child, who naturally had enormous paternal issues, and wound up creating himself as the first Black Court Vampire in an effort to win his father's approval.
It didn't work out so well.

But here's the key thing about people of power in the Dresden universe (and in the real world): the truly dangerous folks do not advertise. Not ever. They have no need to show off, and constantly displaying how scary they are would be counter to their own interests. You generally only find out that that little old lady is a spooky-bizarro master of wing-chun when you actually break into her house and try to hurt her granddaughter. Or that the quiet little guy with the receding hairline and glasses is a former Navy Seal when you grab his wife and try to drag her into an alley.
All the senior wizards have got something up their sleeve, and every single one of them is hiding it from all the others. If they don't know about it, they can't plan for it, and the "knowledge is power" wizard crowd is all about planning for things.
But we are coming up on the time when people are going to have their backs to the wall and we're going to start seeing what they've got. And I've been looking forward to writing it for nearly twenty years. >

Answer: He is.
Answer: He is.

Super hard to make a Warden sword. You need a person who is capable of both highly powerful and extremely complex and subtle magic who is /also/ a swordsmith, able to take the weapon from ore to finished product with his or her own hands. That is a rare confluence of talent, especially since most of the people who have the first two don't really have the time to come up with the third, or to spend their time in the forge making such swords happen.

I have the calendar that was created for. It's pretty cool. Sidenote: the model for the piece was Jim's webmistress Priscellie.

This AMA showed me how totally tuned out I have been form the Dresdenverse.I can't even make sense of half the stuff. I will do a series reread when the new book comes out.
What is Mirror Mirror? I thought next book was 'Peace Talks'
Who was Ramirez again?
Seriously blanking all over. This is scary.

Ramirez was the southern Latino warden who teamed up with Harry a few times.
Very slick, not that a strong a player in comparison to the big players, but capable.

Ramirez not only went into the Raith Deeps with Harry in White Night, he was the third person to hang out with Sue, along with Harry and Butters.
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.

MM is the book after PT. (This is the first I'd heard of it, too.)
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
