Butcher Brings ‘Cases’ to Ace Books
Ace Books executive editor Anne Sowards acquired world English and audio rights to Brief Cases, a short story collection by Jim Butcher, author of the bestselling Dresden Files series. The new book is a companion piece to Butcher’s 2010 short story collection, Side Jobs. It also includes previously published content based on the Dresden Files series, as well as a new Dresden Files novella. Brief Cases is scheduled to be released in summer 2018. The deal was brokered by Jennifer Jackson at the Donald Maass Literary agency.

Nice! I've got most of the Short Stories on Kindle but it'd be nice to have them in one set back to back. Is the additional story in the anthology going to be the one with Harry and his daughters at the Zoo?

So I looked at my Alex Verus books and confirmed that Ace is a Penguin Random House entity, but why doesn't this one have the ROC label like all the other Dresden Files books I briefly checked before posting this question?
I'm asking from a relative position of ignorance, not knowing the relationship between Ace and ROC other than that they are both Penguin Random House entities.

Yikes. A whole year away for stuff thats already written. Why is there such a delay?
Griffyn612:
I remember someone sharing that Roc dropped several Urban fantasy series over the last year or so, including Rob Thurman's Cal Leandros series. I recall reading her blog where she said she knew of several Roc authors in the same boat as her.
Maybe that was unrelated, or maybe they've changed their focus? Looking at Roc's site, they've got plenty of fantasy series still going, including urban fantasy. So it's not that they stopped that genre.
