Any news on Peace Talks
Don:
Mirror Mirror has garnered a lot more interest than Peace Talks in public appearances.
Jim is obviously working on a double release. Peace Talks has been in the can for some time now.
:P

If that is true it would be a nice consolation prize for the long wait...

The latest I'd heard was an article that I'd posted a link to in another thread, here it is again.
https://strandmag.com/theres-something-about-harry-dresden/
in it, there is a statement "Currently, Butcher’s putting the finishing touches on Peace Talks, the sixteenth book in the series. Peace Talks is slated for an early 2019 release"
this interview took place in July.

Probably more like Summer 2019 (or Fall, but I'm hoping for Summer). A couple of years ago I did a comparison of the dates when Jim announced he had finished writing various Dresden Files novels and the actual release dates of each book, going back to White Night or Small Favor. The shortest time frame between Jim posting on twitter, "The End. I finished writing X tonight," and publication was just over three months, but that was an outlier. Nine months is more typical. There was one book that took longer than that and a couple that were around six or seven months between Jim's announcement and publication.
With other novelists the time frame is often close to a year, but as we all know Jim does more; pre-editing, I guess is the term, by using input from his Beta readers, which shortens the editing process for him. So if Jim can finish Peace Talks between now and January 31 (fingers crossed), we might get the book by July or August of next year.

I have been a big Jim Butcher fan for over a decade. I have every book that he has put out (including the comics ). I have waited in line at multiple shows for him to sign some of those books. But when I realized that the 2 yr anniversary of the first chapter of peace talks was last May I canceled my pre order of the dresden statue and decided not to buy anymore short stories until after peace talks is available. Most of what has come out over the last couple of years seems to be to maximize revenue (something that as a financial advisor I have no problem with and help people do all the time) with minimal effort from Jim. And if I wasn't a fan I would say good for him but I am and I feel like I've been strung along with no end in site. If he doesn't want to write any more (either by choice or writers block) I would be disappointed but I would understand or at least have closure. I hope he starts writing novels again but until then I'm moving on
