DF Spoilers / Re: Twelve Months (blurb'ed & priced on Amazon)
« on: March 28, 2025, 04:02:46 PM »
It's possible (I hope) that the comments about his last two books suffering from the "Author's too big to edit" problem convinced the publisher to take a hard look at the manuscript and tell him that multiple changes/cuts are needed. It's also possible that his publisher just has so much in the pipeline that next January is the first open slot they had.

Here is the link to US Amazon. It is a lower price than the Canadian edition

Have there been any updates since the original?

DF Spoilers / Re: “All of Winter” in Proven Guilty
« on: January 16, 2025, 05:03:30 PM »
When Harry said/thought that he had no idea of how many warriors winter had ( See section of ???? - I can't think of which book - where mother winter takes him to the outer gates and he sees just how many warriors winter has). He thought he'd called up all of them, but he probably didn't get more than a few percent of the available warriors.

Do I remember reading that Jim had another case of COVID? If so, that could explain the delay. Long COVID is a bear to deal with (bear being spelled so it rhymes with witch). It's also possible that he's just gotten distracted again.

In any case I too wish he'd finish this book and move on to complete the series. I'm getting old and want to find out what happens in the BAT. If it takes him another 20 years to finish I don't think I'll be around for the ending.

On the general subject of Q & A, was there anything in the recent podcast of significance? I no longer drive long distances for business, and find that I don't have the patience to just sit and listen to folks talk.

DF Books / THis is only related to the DF

By birth.

Has anyone read "Dead Man's Hand"? What did you think of it?

DF Comic Books / Bigfoot
« on: March 19, 2022, 03:48:37 PM »
Has anyone else seen this. Bought it earlier this week. It's a fixup of the 3 working for bigfoot stories and is does a fairly good job of covering them

The plan in Changes, with Susan, tragic as it is, is very clever.
I've labored under the belief that the plan wasn't Harry's but Martin's, and he arranged for Harry to be the booby trap in the Red King's plan.

DF Spoilers / Re: Two thoughts on the timing of Mab's wedding announcement.

Here's some thoughts....

What if the low fertility rate amongst Whamps is on one side. The men. They only kick out a few hundred at a time (human normal is in the millions). So  - Thomas is not likely to have many children. Harry, presumably, would produce more.

Lara as Winter Lady, replacing Molly? Mab could be playing the long game.  What about the hypothetical daughter of Harry and Lara? Wizard genes, a strong line, and Whamp blood too? Possible hybrid vigor too - she could be very dangerous.

And, while I think this unlikely - sorry Thomas - what makes us 100% sure the baby is Thomas'? If the shadow of a Fallen Angel can make a spirit of intellect with harry... can Nemesis do anything with a woman? Parthenogenesis?

As the winter lady, Lara would be required to be celebate, whether she wanted to be or not (see Carlos' injuries). How could a whampire survive for the (potentially) hundreds of years between her taking the Winter Lady mantle and her replacing Mab?

DF Spoilers / New Short Story
« on: August 18, 2021, 05:09:37 PM »
I just preordered Heroic Hearts edited by Jim and Kerrie Hughes. It has a short story by Jim called "Little Things" which is about Toot-toot. It's currently scheduled to ship on May 3rd.

DF Spoilers / Time for an Update
« on: May 31, 2021, 06:50:05 PM »
It's been almost 11 months since Peace Talks was released, which means it's been over a year since Jim was actively working on a new book (battle ground was originally part of PT)

I for one would like to know how he's doing on the book after "The Aeronaught's Windlass" and if he's even started on sketching out the next DF book

DF Spoilers / Re: A new threat to Dresden (later) WAG
« on: May 10, 2021, 07:41:18 PM »
I think Anastacia Luccio would be the logical candidate. When she was in Tombstone, she mentioned that Eb was head of the wardens at that time. She has the experience, even if her new body isn't ideal for magiking.

Quick question: Do you believe Dresden could secure the Coins within Demonreach? Why or why not?
If I remember correctly, Niccodemus told Harry that he can summon the coins. The Church can obscure the location to some extent, but that hasn't proved very effective in the long run

Also up in the air, how did Murphy break her arm on her vacation with Kincaid?  Never explained, but rough sex was never ruled out..

I doubt that. Kincaid gave her a P90 as a souvenir of their vacation together. I would think it more likely that either some of his work followed him on vacation, or they stumbled onto something while they were in Hawaii.

I vaguely remember folks talking about this becoming a short story, but I don't remember if that was just a fan idea, or something that Jim threw out as a "maybe someday..."
