@KurtinStGeorge
Thanks for the info.
I hope for a release date in the next days.

Mira:


The television show is what got me here in the first place... Shorter books just makes sense, considering the length he plans for the series and the other subjects he wants to tackle... Sorry for
his loss, Frost... It does hurt a lot..

Wow, go Priscellie! So the TV show is an almost sure thing?

--- End quote ---

Almost is the key word.  If you know even a little about how TV series and movies go from concept to reality, you know nothing is ever firm until a show gets aired.

I think the success of Game of Thrones; not talking about the final season, just in overall terms, in generating fan interest, drawing in viewers who don't normally read fantasy novels, and the buzz that was created in the media and culture in general, has probably been a real help in promoting the Dresden Files as a TV series, despite the failure of the first TV series.

(Damn, another thing I forgot to tell everyone.)  When Jim was introduced to the person; Jim didn't say their name, who would be the head writer to adapt Jim's novels for TV, that person said, "I would really like to see the book series completed before I begin writing the TV episodes."  Jim said this statement caused him to drop what he was drinking.  Actually, seeing the problems that occured in Game of Thrones after the show runners ran out of books to adapt, I can understand why this person feels that way.     

123Chikadee:
Oh, ok that makes more sense then, thanks. I just write stuff and post it when I'm satisfied with it.
Yeah, I can totally understand wanting to have a series finished before adapting it. I don't know why people don't do that more often.

Dina:
Thanks Kurtin! You gave us a lot to think about.
