Saw a Release Date for Peace Talks, True or Just Another Rumor?

If I recall, he's had a bad time in the past when he had a deadline and couldn't make it, so he swore off giving a deadline. . .Right(I seem to remember him saying he'd never take an advance again. . .)?
All of which is to say, there is no release date.

That is still very, very encouraging. Six weeks of work left on an editable draft isn't all that bad. Considering Jim's past descriptions of the way he writes—late at night, while everyone is asleep, from around midnight-dawn—that's actually quite good. (In my experience, word count quotas force faster work than time allocation when you write full time.) And according to the calendar on Jim-Butcher.com, his next event isn't till the end of April, seven weeks from now, so maybe he'll turn in a draft before he heads out to the writing conference. Looks to me like it's shaping up for a solid late summer/early autumn release.

Is Jim going to flip flop books between series again?

He said the Olympia Affair (CS #2) is next on his writing queue in one of the previous statements, yes.
As much as we're all hella excited for Mirror Mirror, Jim has said alternating projects helps him not get sick of doing too much of one thing. Besides, more talking cats.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to either one of them. It took me two readings before I really got on board with the Cinder Spires, but I'm on the airship train now.
