Seems like Rick's not feeling too confident about winning a million dollars from the city of Milwaukee anymore. New book coming. He's already got a title and... everything (?).

Yes, that's right, you don't need to get it published or perhaps reach double-digit sales. Just having a title means you're back on the horse.
List of Rick's abandoned works for reference:
1) Some pandemic book, Herd Immunity
2) Some book about a crippled veteran with PTSD protecting space elephants (seriously) from poachers
3) In the Red, sequel to In the Black. Halfway done, just waiting for the call from @torbooks that's coming any day now
4) Tiny Tim fanfic (it's not getting published)
Maybe I'm missing some.
