Finished Blood Rites and will move on to Dead Beat in January.
Hitch, I do get your argument, but also keep in mind that Butcher doesn't have the same background as a lot of writers who can keep churning out despite life. Many of those authors were journalists before they retired to writing. I think that makes a difference. Stephen King had a lot of support as well as the work ethic when he was injured. That's a lot why Pratchett could write despite illness (and the advantage of having the specific type of Alzheimer's he had). I'm not excusing it, but I do recognize that most writers maybe would not make that leap.
