Do you happen to have a link? It's not that I disbelieve you at all, it's just that 99% of the information I get is from friends telling me what Butcher said, and I am quite aware of that that is not first-source reporting, if that makes sense.

*smiles* I always cite my work!

First of all: here's a link to the Jim-Butcher.com forums "Masterlist of Interviews". The forums are run by his friends and the information has always been congruent with what I've seen him say.

Here's a specific interview where he refers to it:

"If I get to do what I want, I'll get to do about twenty case books. And then at the end I'll do a big old apocalyptic trilogy because big old apocalyptic trilogies are fun."

And I've seen him speak in person, and the "20 case files + apocalyptic trilogy" is a number that appears consistently through the years.

:) Hope that helps. Some of the interviews are really interesting. He's a pretty dynamic guy.
