Annie's Book Stop Bujold interview up
Annie's Book Stop, an indie bookstore in Worcester, Massachusetts, http://anniesbooksworcester.com/ asked me to do a video interview for them in support of the paperback mass market edition of Penric's Labors coming out next month. It's now up on YouTube:

I see I'm still not quite adept at this -- I keep looking at the image of the person I'm talking to down on my screen instead of up at my camera intake, giving folks a good view of my eyelids. But it seemed to go smoothly otherwise, apart from my tendency to lose track of what question I'm answering partway through. The interviewer Selina prefers to do a single long take, not edit in post, and it worked out pretty well.
I have more, and more coherently, to say about the origins of the novellas in Penric's Labors in the 3-part essay at the back of the volume.
I had a memorable signing at that store on a long-ago book tour. A blizzard hit, fortunately just after I'd arrived and checked into my hotel, but the traffic snarl in town was so bad we barely made it from the hotel to the store. Which was OK, because neither did many customers. A few brave ones did persevere, and I recall we had a nice sort of intimate chat.
I wouldn't think readers of this blog need apprised of the existence of this 3rd Penric & Desdemona collection (though by all means tell your friends) but if so, here's its Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Annie's has a whole channel of prior material:

Is there a good place to find the essay about the.novellas for those of us who already own them all (uncollected)?

I just received my carton of author's copies of the latter from the printer yesterday, so it should be trickling out into the book sales system shortly.
