The Dresden Files > DF Books

In this lifetime

<< < (4/7) > >>

Warbird:
I'd recommend reading the Alex Verus series.  It has a lot of similarities to DF but set in England with a significantly lower powered protagonist.  I really like the fact that Verus can't just blast his way through any fight, he only wins by being smart. 
Also those books have been coming out once a year like clockwork (and 9 books so far).

There's also the Felix Castor series from comic writer Mike Carey although that one is currently on hiatus (he plans on finishing but the books didn't sell well, so he's writing a few other things first) so I'm not sure I'd recommend them right now.

I believe there was an intro in Brief Cases that specifically mentioned that he can't do work before and after a move.  Since he just moved, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a new book until end of next year at the earliest.  I've honestly made my peace with Jim's output slowing significantly.  It's not like there's a ton of important hanging threads if we never got another book. 

segaily:
I recommend the Alex Verus series as well it is very good.

Someone in the spoiler section had posted a comment a couple weeks ago that the beta readers have been getting lots to read from the new book lately.  Based on that and his normal pace I think your end of next year is pessimistic.  I am guessing early next year as most likely with mid year as my worst case.

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.

This. This is also why I haven't worked on my kung fu recently or made a lot of progress in theorizing... I have two kids, am a full time dad, and have NO WHERE TO HIDE! lol. I tend to get things done at the cost of sleep at night.

wardenferry419:
I just have the one kid. But, yeah, I feel you Wiz.

If you have really loads of money to throw at it a house is not really necessary anymore:

Maybe good for a white council centered book in Edinburgh? It is seriously expensive though.
