The Growing Time Gap in DF Releases
wardenferry419:
Cold Days came out a few months after my son was born.
Skin Game came out a few months before he turned 2.
My son turned 6 this month.

Yes but subjectively time will go faster when you get older so it won't matter :)

For what it's worth, Locus Magazine's web page just updated their forthcoming books page. Peace Talks is listed as being scheduled for a May 2019 release.
This isn't the first time it's been listed. Perhaps someone close to Jim or the Beta-readers can throw us a clue as to how close to being finished he really is.

The book is not ready because Harry and Karen needed some rest and they are now living quietly on Ebenezar’s farm so they can recover from everything. They need a few years as everyone who read the books would understand. they have gone through hell and back and please don’t pester them with your impatience. They are just glad they survived.

This is one where emotion and rationality take me in different directions. Yes, I'm dying for more. Yes, part of me will be deeply disappointed if we don't make it to the end of this thing. But those are just feelings. Logically, I'm totally in the "he doesn't owe us anything" camp.
One thing worth remembering here is that we're fans - for us this is pure recreation and entertainment. But for Jim this is labor. I'm an awful lot less enthusiastic about my job than I was when I was young, eager, and proving myself. He's written fifteen of these things, plus a pile of short stories to boot. If he were just getting honestly tired of the character and the series I'd be totally unable to blame him.
I could easily understand him "wanting to finish" and having every intention of doing so, but yet find it a much heavier burden than it used to be. Guess what I do when there's something I know I need to do but don't look forward to? That's right - I procrastinate and postpone.
I actually hope none of the above applies here, but I'd understand if it did.
