Jim will also be doing an AMA ("Ask Me Anything") on Reddit's /r/fantasy section on November 20th.  The AMA will be posted that morning, and folks will have all day to come up with questions and "upvote" the questions of others, so the best ones bubble to the top.  Jim will start answering questions around 7pm or 8pm Central.

Jim will not be making any convention appearances in 2012.  Whether he will be doing a book tour for Cold Days remains to be seen.

I am SHOCKED by this!!

Oh wait no I'm not I already knew it. I'm hoping he has a great year "off" the man sure deserves it.

[llwaynest]

I agree...let the man take some time off. We all need a life outside of work.

Most of us knew it was coming, but now it's official.

Sad, but official...   

Here's to Jim!  May this year bring him Peace, Prosperity, Success to his next venture, and more Persecution of that Putz, Harry Dresden! 

[Darkshore]

I heard Jim state this at the signing. It's sad that I won't get to see him around, he's a great guy to talk to, and an amazing public speaker, but he deserves some R & R.

What?!?!  Where did I put my torch and pitchfork?

*Deep breaths*  Alright.  I do love watching his Youtube Q&As after a book comes out, though.  I'd be satisfied with an interview or two (or maybe a public appearance somewhere close to home? *nudge, nudge*).

Here, you might not have seen this update to the interview list

First Update in a while.

These don't have much about the Dresden Files per say, but the Geeks Guide has some really cool anecdotes about Jim's father, and the NY Times profile says a lot about how Jim's EmberMUSH days helped hone his craft.

BTW we are lucky.  The first thing Rothfuss says at signings is "no videos or audio recordings, I don't want this on youtube"

[Darkshore]

I think Rothfuss gets nervous about how he sounds on recordings. He almost didn't put up a video of him reading to his son for Heifer International because he was afraid of how it sounded .

That was because he was reading a book to his OMGADORABLE son, and he was unaware his voice jumped an octave in those conditions.

Pretty sure Jim only does that when he's speaking as Bob.   

[TruffleShufflen]

I think when Jim decides to go around again he should come visit his fans up here in Canada!

Assuming, of course, that next winter isn't as mild here as this one has been.

Has Jim ever gone international?  I know that his fans on the other side of the pond would be wicked stoked.  I know that he's been to the Pacific north-west a few times.

He's been to Canada a time or two, but never beyond that.  He doesn't travel well, so overseas isn't really in the cards, as far as I'm aware.

So the man is like a fine wine, doesn't travel well and gets better with age.  Thanks Priscelle!
