Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Spoilers
What we know
Lanodantheon:
If I remember one of the interviews correctly(it was a Convention panel featured on the front of the JB site I remember) The Cinder Spires might have come from one day when Jim was driving a bunch of kids home from a LARP. He mentioned that in his rear-view mirror he could see in the distance a tornado or something behind him and he thought, "What if that was chasing me?"
Wherever the series comes from, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Oh, steampunk series, right now it’s called The Cinder Spires, the first book is called The Aeronauts Windlass, for the time being, because, well, I like aeronauts and windlasses. It’s got airships and goggles, and it’s got talking cats who are perfect little monsters… Every time I write a point-of-view chapter from the point of view of one of these cats, I’m like, “Oh my god, someone needs to just field-goal kick this guy, just out through the wall”, because they are just so perfectly sure that they’re in control of everything that’s happening around them, and that all is proceeding according to their plans, if these humans would just stop messing it up. It’s a lot of fun as a writer. And they actually end up being much like the Mafia in our society, because, you know, they can talk, and they can use matches, you know.
**Audience laughter**
They can enforce their demands. “I noticed that you have no rodents in your warehouse. Perhaps you’d like to keep it that you have no rodents in your warehouse? Perhaps, there will be cream left outside for my associates and I…”. They're that kind of attitude, only you know, they're far more arrogant.

Another piece of information. The cats in this series are utter jerks.

Sooo, their cats then? ;)
Margrave:
Jim read the Prologue and the first chapter to The Aeronaut's windlass at Ad-astra someone was recording so there's a chance it will go up online somewhere soon.
I don't know if discussing them in detail here would be too much so i'll wait for a decision from someone higher up
whingnut:
Based on my personal experience with Ghost Story Readings a full YEAR in advance of release, yeah wait until you get the okay from JB's Camp. Have to clear it with his publisher ect. Priscilla is the goto on this I *think* but with her workload of late that may have changed. She's still a great person to poke though. I hope you enjoyed it as much as my beta friends have, I know I can't wait to read it myself! ;D
