New news from an interview with Esslemont:
he is working on a Malazan novel called Stonewielder, to be set two years after Return of the Crimson Guard in Korel
also, his first two novels have finally been picked up for US release by Tor
So I am adding the new book to the previous list. Which gives us:

edited to add:
I have not linked to the interview, as there is such a ginormous spoiler in it for Return of the Crimson Guard.
