Any news on Peace Talks

By and by, is his next work after Peace Talks (and, I suppose, the Maggie and her Maggical Pals series debut) confirmed to be a Cinder Spires entry, or is he jumping straight to Mirror, Mirror? I'd heard the former, but I saw some speculation that he'd be sticking with Dresden to try to get back on schedule.

Jim has said before that he needs to take breaks between every DF novel; I suppose that is subject to change, to the vagaries of the creative impulse. But I won't be holding my breath...
Jim's official site jim-butcher.com states that the next writing project after completion of Peace Talks (DF#16) is Olympian Affair (Cinder Spires #2).
Maz:
Jim has reaffirmed by belief that he is a machine with his recent progress.
I'm pretty sure even with Olympian affair, with his life in order now, he can get us back on track and unless he takes up some dangerous new hobbies, we have no more threat of a Robert Jordan...

Time to break up the boredom and make a prediction. It's been 11 days since it was announced that Jim was up to chapter 60. I don't know if that means Jim is working on chapter 60 or he has finished 60 chapters. That wording is a little vague. Whoever is writing those updates needs to write more clearly; and I say that as someone who often needs to remind myself to write more clearly, but I digress.
For the past few weeks Jim has been knocking out a chapter every 4 or 5 days. Several months earlier Jim was averaging about 8 days per chapter. Now there could be some simple explanation why the current chapter is taking so long for Jim to get through. Jim may have had some personal or family issue come up that he needed to take a few days off to deal with. However, I'm hoping it's not an outside problem, I'm hoping it's actually a good thing; something indicative that Jim is really in the very final stretch of finishing up Peace Talks. I'm thinking Jim has been working through all the final twists and turns of the final confrontation or set of confrontations Harry must pass through, and following the conclusion of the current chapter (or two) there will only be the epilogue to write. The epilogue chapter probably won't take more than 3 days for Jim to knock out.
Even if the current chapter isn't the penultimate one, the extra time Jim is taking to finish the current chapter will mean the final boss battle chapter will go pretty quickly because Jim has already set everything up for the conclusion he's aiming for. I think after the current chapter is finished, it might only be 3 to 8 more days before Jim writes "The End."

may 19th is the 3 year anniversary of the release of the first chapter. I wonder if we will get news by then or at least a rerelease of the chapter or even an updated version
