He needs to do 62-63 chapters for me to win this bet. Any less, and the terms are unmet for both of us and we have to roll the pot (and add to it) for a release date bet. Any more, and I just lose. COME ON JIM FINISH THIS ONE AND THEN DO AN EPILOGUE.

As of today it's been 16 days since we've heard any new progress.  So I suppose it's possible Jim is up to chapter 62 or 63 by now.  I hope that's what it is; that Jim decided to go dark as he knocked out the last few chapters.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

18 days since the last news. I think the book is finished. Editing is in progress and there is not yet a release date.
I'm starting to get excitet. It has become difficult to concentrate on the book I'm reading though it's a good one.  ;)
Greetings from the book-junkie.  ;D

or jim saw something shiny and stopped writing for 3 weeks
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!

I heard it combines larping with mixed martial arts, and weight training.  We really need to keep this under wraps.

No no no, don't tell me about this stuff either! I can't afford to pick up another hobby.

Maybe Jim realized he needed to make a critical change back in Chapter 13, and has to re-work the rest of it going forward.

Thankfully Harry is not one of the readers of the books because if he was Jim would probably be doing just that to torture him.

Harry not being a reader won't stop him. He's said that he tortures his characters as a way to torture readers.

You are correct!  I was doing pretty well thinking the delay just meant we would soon see a publish date update but you all have now made me paranoid.   :D

New Theory:

Jim has just thought of an amazingly-kewl crossover, the Cinder Codex.

He has put aside the Peace Talks draft to write Vol.1 of this new series.

Oh my god! You have deliciously cruel ideas. I like that, I think... But I'm still feeling tortured.  ;D

Turns out it all takes place in a very distant part of the Nevernever, Furies are just not very smart neutral fairy that like humans and cats are all distant relatives of Cat Sidhe.
