In this lifetime

[Warbird]

I'd recommend reading the Alex Verus series.  It has a lot of similarities to DF but set in England with a significantly lower powered protagonist.  I really like the fact that Verus can't just blast his way through any fight, he only wins by being smart. 
Also those books have been coming out once a year like clockwork (and 9 books so far).

There's also the Felix Castor series from comic writer Mike Carey although that one is currently on hiatus (he plans on finishing but the books didn't sell well, so he's writing a few other things first) so I'm not sure I'd recommend them right now.

I believe there was an intro in Brief Cases that specifically mentioned that he can't do work before and after a move.  Since he just moved, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a new book until end of next year at the earliest.  I've honestly made my peace with Jim's output slowing significantly.  It's not like there's a ton of important hanging threads if we never got another book.

I recommend the Alex Verus series as well it is very good.

Someone in the spoiler section had posted a comment a couple weeks ago that the beta readers have been getting lots to read from the new book lately.  Based on that and his normal pace I think your end of next year is pessimistic.  I am guessing early next year as most likely with mid year as my worst case.

In the recent Reddit AMA for Brief Cases-- and at one of the signings, too, I think-- Jim said that it's hard for him to write without his own home environment where he can go and shut everyone else out while he works. He said that he'd been building a house that was supposed to take nine months and ended up taking three years, but that it was finished now and he finally had his own writing space again(he apparently moved states to be near his fiance).

Jim said that after the signing tour is over, he thinks he'll be able finish Peace Talks before his wedding this September.

This. This is also why I haven't worked on my kung fu recently or made a lot of progress in theorizing... I have two kids, am a full time dad, and have NO WHERE TO HIDE! lol. I tend to get things done at the cost of sleep at night.

I just have the one kid. But, yeah, I feel you Wiz.

If you have really loads of money to throw at it a house is not really necessary anymore:

Maybe good for a white council centered book in Edinburgh? It is seriously expensive though.

Sounds like Wheel of Time and the Cosmere should be on deck

I loved how the wheel of time ended. And even now I’m hopping for and extension. Maybe a few generations later, to see how the timeline changed from the one possible dark future.

And to find out if Rand still has the extended lifespan of a Channeller in his new body. Been driving me crazy.

He channel's something else post-WoT, but I was pretty sure that stuff had been shown to offer similar benefits.

iirc, it wasn't channeling, he thought of the pipe being lit, and it happened, as if in the dream world (can't remember its name)

He was channeling the Other Thing, the one with the confusing Name that previously only the certain Evil folks could use, that gave you the "dragon Fang" in your Eye. 

What was it?  The True Power from the One Source instead of the One Power from the True Source? I can never remember which is which.

I think it was the True Power. It IS confusing.   But I still don't think he channeled. I'll check the book sometime soon and get back to you.

Oh, on that technicality I have no Idea.

It definitely wasnt the normal Weave channeling, it was way more innate/subconscious (almost accidental) than that. But there was some note about the mark in his eye when it happened that made me give the credit to the True Power, though I would suspect his use of and relationship to it are wildly different that the Granted Access the forsaken where given.

Interesting point, as the forsaken still had to weave True Power just like any other weave. Maybe now that Shai‘tan is his bitch he can get easy access.This still doesn't answer the longevity issue, as all True Power channelers were already One power channelers, and thus have an extended lifespan

Been a while since I read those, so help me out:

Any specific reason to think he's not also still a normal channeler? so long as he has some of that ability Id expect the longevity to remain. 

In a mroe general statement I think he absorbed so much raw universal power that hes not quite mortal anymore anyway. The Forsaken were able to live a hell of a lot longer than any normal channeler (though they were also caught in the Seal trap, so there's that).  I tend to think that at least one of the various abilities he has would be able to keep age at bay (given how mythically powerful he is otherwise, and how relatively easy it seemed to grant some form of immortality to the various evil minions).

In the last scene he tried reaching for the One Power to light his pipe and found nothing here, much to his relief.
Which various abilities? He's just the strongest channeler of all, but not by much. He tested how much he could channel against Tiam and Logan, and found that they can hold nearly as much as he does. Being Ta'veren (spelling) doesn't make anyone live any longer.
