In Curse of Chalion you have scenes of crossing a mountain pass and Penric likewise crosses a pass. You make it all very vivid and immediate. I've never been up in such a place and was wondering what experience and research you'd based this on? (This question was prompted by watching a documentary on a team of scientists looking for Hanibal's route across the alps - and seeing mountain passes.)

I've been across a few passes by car, in the Rockies and the Alps. And I've ridden horseback. Not at the same time, but it isn't hard to meld the two experiences together. (And the Cascades and in New Zealand, come to think, though the latter were later. Travel is good for a writer/future writer...)

As I would love to see your books made into anime, I created the Goodreads’ list “Titles You Most Wish Would be Made Into Anime” in the hope that if it gets enough voters, it might catch the attention of a decision-maker at a streaming service/anime studio. Would you share it with your followers so they can vote for your books? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/175478.Titles_You_Most_Wish_Would_be_Made_Into_Anime

Who was the Auditor in the frame story of Borders of Infinity? Who initiated the audit? I mean, the blurb says Miles unravels a plot on his back, but if ImpSec can't publicly account for enough money to bankroll a merc fleet, that really would raise some legit questions

First, what I hope you'll receive as a compliment: For more than 30 years, ETHAN OF ATHOS has been my go-to comfort read. I've worn out seven copies. I still read it when I need to escape my rage and fear about the world we live in. Second, a question about the story: Was your single-sex world, with its loving, nurturing men all the way through to wild horndawgs, inspired or informed in any way by the Kinsey scale?
