Have you considered selling "Flowers of Vashoni" on https://www.smashwords.com/ or some other site that would let readers who want a copy in that isn't restricted to a single platform? While it is possible to convert a Kindle to epub it's a hassle
Lois McMaster Bujold
Smashwords apparently has Business Level Issues, that incline my agent to shy away from it. So, no, not at this time.
Meanwhile, I should remind people that Baen.com still offers a number of my e-titles, in assorted formats; folks who care about such things might want to look there. (Not the recent novellas, granted.)
(It often puzzles me why people who have downloaded a story and can presumably thus read it on the spot would wish to convert it, rather than storing it as-is, but that's another religious debate. Having been party to cleaning up the estates of a couple of persons by now, and observing a few more, I will note that nobody is going to want your books after you die, so that reason rather falls down.)

Hi Lois, I'm a great fan of all your books, but my question is about the Sharing Knife universe. Do you have in your mind a more detailed backstory of how the first malice emerged? And how precise are Dag's ideas about the lives of the old lords? Could you say something more about it? Thank you.

When I first read *The Hallowed Hunt* years ago, I wrote you that I didn't like it as well as the first two "Five Gods" novels. Now after re-reading all three, plus gaining more understanding of spirit animals from Penric, I am happy to say I was totally wrong. I did not dig under the surface like I should have. Maybe I am older and smarter now? Great book. And now I understand why you used the POV you did.

Quick fangirling - I discovered the Vorkosigan Saga a while back and I adore it, thank you so much. To business - I'm an aspiring writer currently at the end of editing my first draft manuscript. Since I've decided to try the traditional publishing route first, I'm currently starting the search for an agent and the whole process is, frankly, terrifying. How did you find / settle on your agent?
