What is the status of Miles's children on Cetaganda? Are they haut? How would they be received when visiting as young adults?
Lois McMaster Bujold
They are considered Barrayaran Vor, and would be received as visiting foreign VIPs (or dependents of same.)
(Well, someone like Benin might see them as equivalent to live grenades, but that's a different consideration.)
Miles's genes being formally taken up by the Star Creche doesn't make him socially or politically haut (nor would he consent to such a conscription); they would not be used entire, after all, just taken under close consideration.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Are the Vorkosigan Saga's two hatchet-faced men related? Cordelia's first impresson of Sgt. Bothari matches Tej's first impression of Emperor Gregor in this vividly evocative way. Bothari has protection within the military despite the trouble that his Yuri-like disorder causes, and his dislike of Vor seems like it could stem from feelings of abandonment. Is Bothari a son (maybe even the eldest) of Ezar?

Ah finally, able to converse. I hope there isn't a letter cap...spoilers there is >:) I don't know this website very well is there a better way to message you directly? If not long story cut VERY SHORT...I finished reading Cordelia's Honor at 6amCST this morning before going to bed. I laughed, I cried, I contemplated my own mortality and called family, and I am very grateful the rest of your books are in the back.

Hi. Before Captain Vorpatrils Alliance was published, it was released and sold as an e-arc. I gathered at the time that was a bit of an experiment. Did that work out for you? Is that some thing you would consider doing with future releases? Assuming you have a say in such things, of course. I, for one, will buy anything you care to publish. Thank you. -Daiv
