Fatal Revenant news

This was posted on SRD.com today. Don't know if it was posted in the FR forum, since I don't look there...
My editors (US and UK) have now read the manuscript and given me their comments and suggestions. The bad news is that I still have plenty of work to do (no surprise there). The good news is that what I've been asked to do is considerably less "global" than it was in the case of "The Runes of the Earth." As a result, I'm hopeful. Perhaps the third draft will not take as long as the second did. If so, "Fatal Revenant" may indeed be published in the fall of 2007.

I just posted this on the GI thread. Sorry! That'll teach me for not looking at all the new posts first.
Great news though! HOORAH!

I was confused when I read that. In an earlier posting he said that he was about 7 1/2 months ahead of schedule. But here he says that if all goes well it will be released in the fall of '07. Isn't that when it was supposed to be released?

Than is weird isn't it.
But I think he started Revenant later than expected, I thought he had put somewhere that because of book tours and stuff...he wasn't on schedule when he bagan, so getting ahead of shedule..just got him back on the right time frame...
Then again, maybe it's a ploy, and it's due to be released in a few months!

Yes, I think Drew is right (he was originally behind schedule).
As for it being finished in a couple of months...I doubt that (as I think it takes quite a few months after D&A for it to hit the stands). And since it took him approx. 5-6 months to do the second draft....

That's why I'd start going to church again. Such a thing would make me believe in miracles, etc...
I'm really kidding. I know it's coming out in the fall of next year.

*No no...what if he's lying?
What if the D&A is all done, and the first editions are being bound as we speak?

My editors [have] given me their comments and suggestions
"Mr. Donaldson... 1600 pages is a bit... too much? Could you please condense to half of that?!"
One year?

*Someone* have mercy.
We all know that it will be out in October. So, if need be, take a Xanax and apply a cold compress to your forehead. Or smash your head into a wall. Whatever works.

I think he mentioned in the GI that when he says 1100 or 1600 pages, he means double-spaced on letter-sized paper for editing... but that doesn't translate to that many pages in a book.
(too bad!)
