Any news on Peace Talks
wardenferry419:
This is my good news of the day! Still hoping for Oct 31 but I will be happy with Turkey day or X-Mas!

I think release date will have more to do with looking for a release date that fits....you don't want the release date being the same week as George R Martins Game of thrones or another major urban fantasy novel.

First, there isn't enough data to actually do any (valid) statistical analysis.
Second -- and much more important -- Jim isn't delivering his manuscript to some predictable, homogenous, PerfectEditingEngine. The publisher won't slurp up the draft and PEE out a hardcover in 4.61829 months.
It's a bunch of PEOPLE. What other projects have they got under way, because they cannot just put the whole business on-hold waiting for the next DF novel; not even a guaranteed hit is worth that! Maybe his editor is going through a divorce of their own, or moving, or just lost a pet, or is undergoing gender-reassignment surgery. I dunno, what other reasons has Jim given -- valid, understandable reasons -- for being so much slower to complete this draft? Maybe Jim's editor isn't playing "Keeping up with the Butchers," maybe they aren't hitting EVERY hardship Jim hit en route to finishing this draft. Maybe they've got it worse. We have no real way of knowing. (n.b. I don't remember all of Jim's (very good!) reasons; I may have forgotten one or two, or added-in one or two that didn't actually happen to him).

True. But I'd hoped for a visible reason for some books to take six months instead of three to four; like apparently delivered on schedule vs apparently late. There are so many factors in publishing schedules, it was a forlorn hope but I thought I'd ask.

Pretty sure that we don't have to worry about until, like, maybe the 20th DF novel.

I was just wondering if there even was a pattern, or a somewhat tight range that the books fell into.
