I'll settle for another convention's Q&A session on Youtube. Sometime between people asking Jim "Why Chicago?" and "How did you think of Mouse?" we'll get some more juicy tidbits to obsess over.

Impressive, but not impossible. I've taken a close look at when Jim has announced he has finished writing The Dresden Files case books; going back to Small Favor, and then compared those dates with the actual publishing dates. Sometimes there is a nine to ten month wait between Jim's announcement and a book's actual release, but a couple of times it's been three to four months, and it can also be somewhere in between those extremes.
Of course everything depends on when Jim actually finishes Peace Talks and how much editing will be needed after that, and I imagine there are certain times of the year when it is easier for publishers to push a release date. The last time I saw Jim answering questions about PT, he said it should be finished sometime in the fall or maybe it was late fall. We will just have to wait and see, and keep arguing about Murphy, who is nemfected, debating if Lord Raith will recover, is Molly Mab or is Murphy Mab or will be Mab, who is the British prisoner, who fixed Little Chicago and is time travel involved. Did I forget anything?

He answered both questions already so you will just get a variant of his previous answers.

What we need is for someone to ask Jim some original questions. Of course the hard part is to ask Jim questions that could yield interesting and useful answers without being so direct and obvious that Jim would automatically reply, "I'm not going to tell you." It just amazes me when I see someone ask, "Jim, who fixed Little Chicago?" When I see someone asking an author to reveal a big secret like that it makes me want to smack that person over the head.
The people who ask questions like, "Why did you set the series in Chicago?" are much more forgivable, IMO. For example, if someone just started reading the books a year ago they obviously haven't seen videos of Jim answering questions at other Cons and probably don't know about this forum, so everything is new to them. Their ignorance is understandable and their willingness to delve into the details of the creation of the series is commendable, even if some of their questions are tedious to listen to.
