I'm on #5, Death Masks, and Butcher seems to be reaching a bit in this one--throwing out pop culture references like a rock band name-dropping local landmarks, and the villains have a certain anime/comic book familiarity. Also, the two new "good guys" are embarrassing ethnic stereotypes. It's still a good read, but a step down from Summer Knight, which was a step down from Grave Peril. I'm hoping the trend reverses and there are more stand-outs like Grave Peril down the line.

July? It's not due out until January 2013.
That's when he's supposed to turn in his first manuscript, of course there's the whole edititing process after he turns in the manuscript...

Is the January date confirmed by the publisher or still just a guess from Amazon?

Edit: Apparently it isn't confirmed, see this FAQ on the official Forums. The people there are very good at getting their facts about things like that right, there's several beta readers (and personal friends of Jim I think) posting there too.

The date of January 2013 came from Fantastic Fiction and they are usually correct.

Now that I'm back reading again, I was going to jump right back in with Changes, but decided to make myself wait to lessen the gap while waiting for the next book. I feel like I'm rationing cookies.

In the meantime, I'm not without other choices. A couple thousand, actually. Just delved into my first China Mieville with Embassytown. The first few pages I thought I wasn't going to like it but I'm now a third of the way through and enjoying it.

I don't find January 2013 to be too long a wait if it is correct.

It's not much longer than Fall or Winter this year, but it would mean there isn't a Dresden Files book this year. Never said I'm entirely rational about it.

Cool New series takes place in the same universe as The Dresden Files
Quote:
From: Priscilla Spencer

Subject: Jim's Next Series!

Back in December, Jim talked about two new series he was auditioning, a high fantasy saga and a steampunk series. However, there was a third simmering on the back burner, and it's since shoved its way to the fore. We can now announce Jim's next series: A paranormal romance series, starring Bigfoot!

"The plan was to start writing COLD DAYS early this year," Butcher explains, "but as I was finishing the trio of Bigfoot shorts, in which Bigfoot is Harry's client, I realized there was so much more in his world I wanted to write. It really consumed my brain. The betas are eating it up, so I'm hoping the fans dig it, too."

Jim credits his wife Shannon, author of over a dozen romantic suspense and paranormal romance novels, with the inspiration for his new direction. "Bigfoot is basically just an alpha male, exaggerated: Big, strong, hairy, and isn't much for ballet. Makes him a good candidate for romance. "

While this new series takes place in the same universe as The Dresden Files, it will focus on entirely new characters. However, be on the lookout for the occasional familiar face!

Look for GREAT NORTH PASSION in stores October 2nd, 2012. Its sequel, LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT DESIRE is expected in Fall 2013.

The third (or rather, first) story in Jim’s Bigfoot trilogy, “B is for Bigfoot,” comes out at the end of August. You can pre-order them all from Jim’s store!
Finished both Bigfoot short stories and they were superb.

Filark, they're new! I got both volumes and only read the two Dresden/Bigfoot stories so far. They were great (up to par)!
