Dog Men Release Q&A Suggestions
Rasins:
It seems to me that something like this has been asked, and Jim said that the interval between in-book installments will be less.
Though I'll admit that it may have been a discussion on here.
magnuskn:
Yeah, I don't think it was asked of him, since I've watched literally every interview posted online of his since at least Cold Days came out.

Q: Cool, I think a lot of us will be excited to read that then. What, if any, tease can you give us for Peace Talks?
A: Peace Talks is all about the various signatories of the Unseelie Accords are having a convocation in Chicago... This book is only set a couple of months after the end of the previous one [Skin Game]...

And I can't find the relevant WOJ but IIRC then Harry is summoned by MM Harry at the end of Peace Talks which obviously kicks off Mirror Mirror. So that would mean that SG, PT, and MM are pretty much back to back stories.
Hope that helps. Any other suggestions for questions??
magnuskn:
Yes, I knew already that Peace Talks is three months after Skin Game. That was disclosed quite some time ago, as you quoted.
What my question is about is how the books after Peace Talks leading up to the BAT will handle this "plot urgency vs. series convention" dichotomy. Rasins a few posts ago was suggesting that Jim had already said in an Q&A that all future books will occur on a shorter interim than one year, which Jim has never stated in any Q&A. Hence my question.
I haven't heard anything about how Mirror Mirror will start directly after Peace Talks, but I'll take your word on it. The problem is, that doesn't make the principal disconnect between one year gaps and the approaching BAT go away for the books after that.
I'd really appreciate it if my question gets asked, since it has been bugging me since basically Cold Days and even more after Skin Game.
revan2357:
Just trying to provide evidence for the talking points is all. And I do think it's a question worth asking- I'm just wondering if there are any others in play.
Also, what I said with regards to SK, PT & MM was meant to add context to your point (assuming I'm not wrong about the bit about Harry being summoned).
Edit:

I agree. If true it makes your point more pressing: there are only a couple of case file books left after that (presumed) sequence where unresolved issues can be addressed.
