Strange then that in the press release you quoted earlier it was suggested that it was only bought a short while ago. Oh well, I actually don't care, as long as I can read it. Preferably sooner than later that is.
It was probably purchased by Penguin first, then picked up by one of its subsidiaries recently (if thats how those things work).

Its like giving a case to a huge law firm, where they then hand it off to one of their associates to complete.

Cool Cinder Spires #1 Release Date!
Cinder Spires #1 Release Date!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JIM BUTCHER TO WRITE A NEW FANTASY SERIES FOR ROC BOOKS

First Installment The Cinder Spires: THE AERONAUT’S WINDLASS to be Published This Fall. Preorder here!

NEW YORK, NY, February 10, 2015—Roc Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, announced today the acquisition of a new fantasy series by Jim Butcher, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Dresden Files novels. Executive Editor Anne Sowards bought World English Rights from Jennifer Jackson at Donald Maass Literary Agency. The first novel in the new series, The Cinder Spires: THE AERONAUT’S WINDLASS, will be released in hardcover on September 29, 2015.

Jim Butcher became one of the most recognized names in science fiction and fantasy with the internationally bestselling Dresden Files series featuring Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard. The series garnered a large and devoted fan base for Butcher that continues to grow with each installment; the last five Dresden Files books skyrocketed to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. Butcher is currently at work on Peace Talks, the sixteenth installment in the phenomenally successful urban fantasy series. In addition to The Dresden Files, Butcher is also the author of the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling Codex Alera epic fantasy series.

Sowards describes The Cinder Spires as, “Horatio Hornblower meets The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen—it’s a fantastic, creative new series of airships, privateers, warrior monks, and mad sorcerers. Honestly, it’s like Jim put all my favorite things in one book!”

The Cinder Spires is set in a fascinating new world, where an ancient evil has awoken, plunging the world into a shroud of mists filled with monstrous and fantastic creatures. The fate of humanity will rest on the loyalty and courage of a single airship’s crew. New York Times bestselling author David Weber said, “This is Jim Butcher at his best…It’s steampunk meets magic with a dose of sci-fi for seasoning.”

The Cinder Spires: THE AERONAUT’S WINDLASS is poised to be one of the fall’s biggest genre releases, and Butcher fans are anxiously awaiting news about the release. Perfect for readers of Brandon Sanderson and Naomi Novik—in addition to Butcher’s existing fans— The Cinder Spires is a grand new adventure from one of the biggest names in fantasy.

Cool Jim Butcher Announces New Fantasy Series
...
Steampunk: check! Magic: check! Sci-Fi: check!

Wednesday, February 11, 2015

Jim Butcher’s Dresden books are some of the highest selling, most highly regarded novels in the fantasy genre. With a narrative style reminiscent of Raymond Chandler’s, the protagonist of the novels – Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard – makes a living as a Private Detective. The stories are popular for their consistent humour and the author’s ability to seamlessly merge the fantastical with reality. Other than George R.R. Martin I don’t think there is an author who fans have so consistently told me they ‘always buy the hardback’ of.

Well, following the release of the 16th book this year – Peace Talks – which will make 16 books in 15 years, we may see the release schedule of the Dresden Files slow down...Read the rest of this article here

This is fine, but there are 2 rules:
1. He can write whatever he wants, as long as he completes Dresden in a timely manner!
2. See rule #1!
