The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
The Law and novella
raidem:
With the increased delay between Dresden Files books, I find myself less of a fan than I was before. A main novel needs to come out at reasonable price for me to get interested in the series again. I've moved on to the litrpg genre.
Conspiracy Theorist:
In a recent podcast Jim is trying to get back up to 2 books a year, we have The Law definitely this year in July, and in the April Podcast he said that he had nearly finished the Olympian Affair, so hopefully September/December. One and a half books in 2022 (hopefully) and at least one short story.
He isn’t travelling or going to Cons much this year except probably Dragoncon, so less distractions, but his son is publishing his first novel in Hardback on October 11, don’t know whether he would want the Olympian Affair to get in the way of that with a publication around that date, or whether they go for a bit of synergy, but the Olympian Affair isn’t up for pre-order yet whereas Dead Mans Hand is and has been for a couple of months.
Of course Jim has a second divorce to pay for, so ramping up the workload may be a necessity, and probably explains why nothing came out in 2021.

It could explain the song and dance as far as prices go.. Divorces can be expensive. Hopefully we will seeing new Dresden books sooner.. But as Raidem said, he has already hurt himself by the long time lag between books, the price song and dance with the last two novels and now the novella isn't going to heal any wounds.
Conspiracy Theorist:
He seems to be shut in the house with just a laptop, Brutus and Fenris. I would say Brutus and Fenris are too much of a distraction but bizarrely they appear to have become the real life Mouse and Mister, so thats okay.
Jim really needs to get the Olympian Affair out this Fall, then Twelve Months/Next Book in Spring 2023 and either Cinder Spires 3 or Maggie and Mouse 1 Fall 2023, and then new short story collection including The Law out Spring 2024 and Mirror Mirror out Fall 2024 then he might win back the fans. Three solid years of two books at least 3 of which are Dresdenverse. Plus short stories. Goodman Grey I think works better for short stories, to build towards a collection and would work having different supporting characters in the Dresdenverse hiring him for different things they don’t want to bring to Harry, or when he is busy, or are not Harry’s thing, or is against Harry.

All well and good, but milking his fans for every penny he can get isn't the way to go.
