Oh I was joking about the two years... (I don't know when it will get done); you noticed that 'Ghost Stories' came out 3 months late? I'd pre-ordered it so it was really obvious to me, he said he just couldn't finish it on time (so I'm sure you're right, he was struggling with it). I just figured the next one could take even longer.... Some writers get slower as they go. Sue Grafton (writes mysteries) has gotten longer and longer gaps between books but the books have gotten better and better so I don't dare complain.
But he said at his Q&A (at my lj, I put some notes & photos I took there - no spoilers) that he plans on 20 Dresden novels, and he'd always planned on the 13th being where Harry has to solve his own murder. I actually piped up in the Q&A complaining about limiting it to 20, but he said every story needs an ending otherwise you end up with the last season of X-files (ie a sloppy mess).
I hope it isn't a spoiler that there will be another book!
