... We are addicts hooked on Dresden, he knows that most of us will scramble to read the short story crumbs he tosses our way and will line up when Peace Talks finally does come out.... We will wait..
For now. I'm really enjoying the Alex Verus series and even though the latest book came out in July, I won't be surprised if the next book is out before Peace Talks. Benedict Jacka has already finished writing it and it is going through the first round of major edits. (His editing process takes much longer that Jim's, so it probably won't be out until next Fall or Winter.) I just started the latest Rivers of London book today. Time moves on and so do I. I think back to when I was a teenager, and when a band I really liked took extra time off before putting out another album or just broke up, I didn't stop listening to music, I found someone else whose music I liked.
The Dresden Files is Jim's creation and his property, so he can do whatever he wants with it. However, I determine where my time and money is spent. At some point, my patience is going to run out and I will move on. That's not some kind of threat, that's the way of world. I'll be a bit sad if I reach that point, but I'll get over it.
Thinking about where the series has gone since Changes, I've had high hopes that Peace Talks would be a major step forward, laying the tracks that would point us towards the BAT. Now I'm less sure and also a little less interested in it, to boot. I'm sure my interest will pick up if I hear Jim has finished or I hear he's writing the final, denouement chapter. I'm not sure that will be true in another six months.
