Any news on Peace Talks

<< < (5/127) > >>

I just found a little gem on the Upcoming Works page of Jim's website. http://www.jim-butcher.com/faq/upcoming-works As of December 6, 2018 Peace Talks is up to chapter 36 in draft form!

The last 3 books had 51-53 chapters. So if Peace Talks is around the same length, the draft is now 68-70% done!

As far as the amount of time its taken, yes its frustrating. Every YouTube video of events Jim has been at, he's been very clear of what the causes have been and how frustrated he himself has been at the delay. I've been through similar events in my own life, and personal circumstances do have a way of snowballing as they have for Jim. I've also lived through a house renovation and totally understand how that can disrupt something like writing a book.

I'm also not happy with how long its taken, but its been a good thing in a way for me. I've been extremely ill and was barely able to read Skin Game and Cold Days when they came out. While I'm doing worse physically, mentally I'm much better than I was. So having Peace Talks at some point in early 2019 is one of the very few things I have to look forward to right now. If I'm remembering correctly, the last time he was at an event he said something about having it out in early 2019. While its surely been a very long time in coming, it seems he's at least true to his word.

People will speculate no matter what excuse he offers.    And they will continue to do so until a new book hits the shelf.  He sets up that conversation by promising and then failing to deliver.  If, as his representatives have posted, he is at chapter 36, it seems a foregone conclusion that spring of 2019 isn't in the works as a publication date.

Mira:


  I do not buy the excuses because he is still writing and publishing and making appearances... Yup, he has a life like the rest of us, and he has had things happen good and bad like the rest of us... Like the rest of us he has priorities....  On his to do list, whether it is because of what has gone on in his
private life, his other projects, or he is just sick of writing about Harry Dresden, it is low on his priority list these days..   We are addicts hooked on Dresden, he knows that most of us will scramble to read the short story crumbs he tosses our way and will line up when Peace Talks finally does come out....  We will wait.. 

RobReece:
It's even possible, that depending on the terms of the divorce, he may have wanted to delay the publication to avoid having to give up too much of it....

True, but he hasn't stopped publishing the beginnings of another series, his appearances and other
projects..
