YES!!  I got this in e-mail.  With a June 5 release date.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

Also: Griffin wrote something nice and fairly readable.
...
 I've only read Torch Light 1for now, but it looks like I'm going to read the next one as well :)
Out of curiosity, please let me know if it gets more or less "fairly readable" beyond Torch Light.   :D

He does some interesting stuff, though some of it is quite dark, and that is not everyones cup of tea. I contributed one character for one of the books (Hell Bent).  ;)

I'd say the Dalca series is dark, and the Mirrorverse isn't very light.  But is the Hayes series "dark"?  I didn't think it was, at least any more so than Dresden.

As for Amy...

No the Hayes aren't that dark. The Dalca ones though are, and since they seem interconnected...

Cool. I do hope you get the time to do more writing.  ;)

Well, we finished the campaign she came from. The GM had his fun throughout the campaign to torture her with various visions. My chronicle from it ended up being 100 pages long. And now we are playing a campaign in Mage: the Acension set in the same city as our Dresden campaign (Boston), and the gm there is pulling things from the Dresden-campign and making them much darker. Will be interesting to see what he puts her through. And I put a version of her in my superhero-campaign. There she is a nice person who might end up helping one of the villains.

Yeah, they're connected, but the idea is that Dalca will never be essential to the Hayes story.  And the reason I wrote that one in third person was too help me buffer Dalca's personality from mine.  But I like exploring stories from the perspective of the bad guys.

Isn't that always the case?  ;)  I too seem to suffer from it.

Everytime I read "It’s still way too early for blurbs, preorders, release dates, and the like" I die a little inside.

I do hope Mr. Butcher hasn't lost interest in this series, or if he has he publishes his notes or somthing so we can fill in the blanks.

This year will be the year. Nostradamus foretold it. :)

Nostradamus?  I thought it was Ms. Cleo the Clairvoyant.

Pleaase, Ms. Cleo didn't even see her own death coming.

Just watching a youtube vid of Jim at Emerald City Comic Con and he says that he expects to finish Peace Talks by the end of April.

So fingers crossed ...

*wishes*
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)
