Since he was first, by a about 20 years, shouldn't it be that the series by Aaronovich reminds you of Simon Hawke's series?

Yea, true enough. But, I suspect that Simon Hawke isn't quite as well known these days. I have a few things to say about Hawke, but since is the Butcher thread, I'll put those comments in the backlist thread.

Just saying, if I was making hotdogs at work, I probably wouldn't want to eat them anymore. |

And honestly, I try to stay away from our clients' books, by and large, because I don't want my view of them...tainted, I guess. I mean, I already have to be charming and all that, but it's harder if I think that what they've written has escaped, not been released, y'know? But for just...enjoyment? Nope, I hardly get to do that. I went on a binge recently, reading a YA-ish series (which surprised me, being YA and not adult reading, but....), but then I became annoyed at the author and stopped reading that one. Now I'm plowing through Rivers of London, and so far, in the 3rd, he's managing to hold my interest. We'll see! Hitch |

To me, draft implies that the basic frame work of the book is done and they are doing edits. Those edits could be minor or major. I'm not sure how much Jim Butcher tends to revise after he does the first draft, nor do we know which draft this is.

I doubt after they let him write The Aeronaut's Windlass in the length it is, that they will make him cut out chapters he already wrote to make the book smaller. |

Then Dresden Files
I just finished a re-read of Storm Front and began re-reading Fool Moon in order to accomplish a re-read of The Dresden Files in anticipation of the release of Peace Talks!
