New book? When?
Good question. I think I'm edging up on done--weeks, not months--but the publication process takes a while. Bearing in mind that I've only been through it one time, I'd expect to see several rounds of editorial changes (so, like, "this is unclear, this is broken" type stuff) followed by copy editing ("did you not pay attention in English class, Mr. Hawkins?" *), cover design, and then the marketing and publicity magic.
If I had to guess, I'd say 2017?

* The copy-editors are actually really super-nice. Like, to the point of bending over backwards. I forget exactly what it was, but in Mount Char I had some basic grammar mistake that I kept doing over and over and over again. I just understood it wrong. By about the 30th instance you could tell it was getting a little old, but the editor was gracious every time. I eventually put in a note to the effect of "You can just say I'm a dumbass if you want. It's really okay."
