22 Case Files and BAT
« on: October 12, 2020, 05:23:48 PM »
Jim confirmed in the James Marsters Comicon interview for Comicon that we are getting 22 and not 20 case file plus the three book BAT, making 25 novels  in total.

18 - Mirror, Mirror
19 - Wrestlemania
20 - ?
21 - ?
22 - ?
23 - ?

In the interview one of the 20 -23 will be timetravel, and another WOJ in a recent interview was one would be about dragons. There is no reason that isn’t the same book, or that they are separate books.

But yay, extra book confirmed.

Shouldn't 23-25-be the BAT?

I wonder if Mirror Mirror is also the time traveling case as it seems like alternate dimensions pair well with time traveling.

We can probably pencil in Nicodemus for #20.  Speculation--#20 leaves him completely broken and he returns at the conclusion of the BAT (#25) to find redemption, bringing his and Michael Carpenter's story arch to a satisfying conclusion

The Denarian book sequence might be off now due to Battle Ground.  It might be 21 now. 

  • 18 - Mirror Mirror - Parallel dimension book
  • 19 - BATTLE ROYALE - Wrestling book (name seems less likely now thanks to Battle Ground...)
  • 20 - PAST TIME - Time travel book
  • 21 - DEVILS KNIGHT - Denarian pre-apocalypse book

No no no, just three parallel books from her perspective.

God, no. Jim confirmed again Goodman Grey, but didn’t mention Maggie and Mouse.

He did say he was likely to never drop the Dresdenverse, but after the BAT no more Harry point of view, but  you may get Harry like in Day One, a background character.

Personally I think he should do a Toot and Lacuna children’s books series, like Pratchett did “Where’s My Cow”, he’s  got a new illustrator who would be a good pick on this.

Griffyn even had the covers and titles. The covers were adapted from the October Daye series I believe.

Yeah they were kind of in line with this. They're not available online anymore (thanks Photobucket) but they may be on my old computer.  Maybe I'll revisit those one day...


(I think this one predated Aftermath)

Ok, BAT is #23-25. Apparently #22 will be time travel (JB said probably the one before the BAT).
So, 18 is MM, 19 is Wrestling.
JB mentions "character development" (no reason it can't be the same of one of the others) and a dragon book, but also a "revenge" story against the BC (or so I understood).

I am not happy with extra books, personally. The larger the saga the more probable that I don't live to see the ending. But I want the story to be good, no matter how many books it takes.

I went and found the original thread for giggles. It's got (small) covers (thanks Photobucket) for the FIRST CRUSH/LAYING GHOSTS/STUDENT SCORNED trilogy, which in my head paralleled PG, GS, and a future unnamed book.

I remember that, you always amaze me Griff. Now, can we have the Goodman Grey spinoff books?
