Anyone heard anything new on Dresden: Twelve Months?

He got divorced and had housing issues for a bit that caused much of the delay I think. But yeah, the all at once slowdown is annoying. Particularly since his next book is Cinder Spires 2. It's one thing to work on two series when you are putting out two books every year and a half, but when you are putting them out every 3-4 years it's pretty annoying.

As far as finishing the series goes, his plan has always 22ish books with a final apocalyptic trilogy after that.

Peace Talks and Battle Ground weren't that long ago.

It's been 3 years since Battlegrounds, and it was five years between Skin game and the Peace talks/battleground duo book. So he's not off on how long he's taking.

The fact he was so consistent for so long getting them out every year to year and a half also makes it worse for a lot of people I imagine too.

I think GRRM, Rothfuss, Lynch and a few other just completely stopping series and being doubtful on ever finishing them has made people overly sensitive to this sort of stuff.

Hopefully in Butcher's case it was just the real life stuff getting in the way and he gets back in the groove. When I saw him on a panel at comic con back in 2004ish he seemed like a really humble and genuinely good dude, so I can't see him going all GRRM.

And it's not like the quality has suffered in his writing, the last three books were all great (at least if you consider Peace talks and battleground one big book).
