Butcher has decided that Peace Talks is so huge that it needs to be done in two parts. LOL.

Jim decided to take a break and got sucked into the world of Pony fic and isn't surfacing until he figures out a way to add them to the DF ecology...

I think you're behind the series, so I'll sblock it, but

so Jim has already gotten the Pony fic out of his system.

I'm curious... guess we'll find out when the book comes... big chapter? convoluted?  required tying up lots of things?  Or did RL/writers block/something outside just get in the way.

As of May 22nd he's up to chapter 61
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

no one tell Jim about the new larp group that combines larping with mixed marshal arts. he will never get back to writing

That chapter took him a while so maybe somebody did tell him about it but thankfully he is still writing :)

As of May 22nd, 2019, the current draft of the novel is up to chapter 61.

I'm really hoping that Butcher, writer of Sidhe we know and love fear, is trolling us and the current draft is past chapter 61. He is telling only the technical truth in that any chapter past 61 would include 61.

Nah.

Jim took an hour or so to visit this thread, catch up on what we were all saying.
We depressed him so much he had to go take a vacation from writing.

It's our fault.

My guess is Jim had something come up that he had to take care of; some personal or family matter that needed to get sorted out of and he had to stop writing for a few weeks.  I don't think it took him 27 days to knock out one chapter because if that was the case; well, I wouldn't want to think too deeply about what it would mean for the story as a whole. 
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

I just want everyone to remember, several months from now as we all tear our eyes from Chapter 61, jaws on the floor, staring in stunned awe across the room as we desperately try to process what the heck just happened, that Mr. Butcher took an extra week and a half to make the chapter Just. That. Awesome.

Have faith, people.  Utter ass-kickery sometimes takes a little extra aging in the barrel, so to speak.

Exactly so.

Looks like he's up to chapter 62!   I wonder how many chapters there will be in this book...
