He said that he'd been building a house that was supposed to take nine months and ended up taking three years, but that it was finished now and he finally had his own writing space again(he apparently moved states to be near his fiance).
Jim said that after the signing tour is over, he thinks he'll be able finish Peace Talks before his wedding this September.

He also said he was almost halfway done. Previously he's said he can write a book in three months, but that was back when they were a little shorter. I wouldn't count on it being finished by then, but I'd welcome being wrong. :)

Well, if he only has half the book left to write and he has three months to write it in, then it sounds like, theoretically, he has twice as much time as he needs! I have hope. :)

I believe what he said was that he had to finish the middle big battle, and then it was the long run to the end. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's literally half the book. It might be that more is done. I'd consider the aquarium battle in SmF the "middle" big battle, but Harry's talk with Nick started at 58% and the battle finished at 66%. He could be anywhere in there, and maybe he's got the momentum.

The mid-battle is often when Harry goes from defensive to offensive mode probably makes for a faster write.

I won't live to see the end. That's okay. Neither will I live to see my great grandchildren grow up. That's less okay. It is what it is. I'm suffering from series fatigue in any case. I've made up my own endings just in case, and will adjust as he does whatever he decides to do.
I'll believe the Peace Talks is close when the cover art placeholder dies the death it deserves, replaced by real art. Currently I'm spending my time doing an internal betting pool with my Id about who dies before the end. Worthless but amusing. Y'all carry on.
