Yup! I can confirm that both of those accounts are Jim.

To answer the big question, Jim still hasn't finished the book, so any release dates given by Amazon or other retailers should be treated as speculation. I think that January 16th is a very reasonable estimate, but until you hear it from Jim, me, his editor Anne Sowards, or his agent Jenn Jackson, I wouldn't give it any weight.

How long does it take between Jim finishing the book and it appearing in the bookstore?

Ghost Story was 3 1/2 months, and Cold Days was 4.

So, uh, I guess when I said before that January 16th was a reasonable estimate, I appear to have had the brainworms. This is why I avoid speculation. XD
I've not seen this time period verified till now (priscellie is Priscilla Spenser and she is responsible for the content of the jim-butcher.com web site). I still haven't seen the date he actually submitted the completed Skin Game manuscript to the publisher in print anywhere.
