Few months is nothing. ;-) Also, to be fair, he published three books last year, I think. So the publisher should have been happy. (Book of short stories, another in his Fury series...and the latest in Dresden.)

No...the writers I'd kick if I were a publisher are Martin (although Martin also published various other books while writing that seventh novel), and in comic book land - Whedon (although comic book land is a different universe altogether with quite different rules -- so never mind.)
