Hello, Lois! Tried to the best of my ability to search through the 724 questions which you have answered already, but.. got bored. So here are my thanks for your work (I am hard pressed to add an adjective here, "extraordinary", "life-changing" or "life-saving" all not quite what I mean) and my question: did you choose Grover Gardner for the audiobooks, or was it some sort of coincidence?Or did he choose you?Thank you

Grover was selected by Blackstone, ages ago.
It seems to have worked out well... :-)
Ta, L.
...Yeah, these Q&A columns could do with a search function. I can't even find stuff sometimes. I did, it seems, once help persuade tptb to make it possible to order them by newest, rather than the random shuffle they had previously.

Penric can get water from the air, and also turn it to ice. I wonder what else? Purify seawater (any advantage over air?)? Concentrate alcoholic drinks (like winter wine but faster)? Separate water into hydrogen and oxygen (for what purpose?)? Weld objects together (maybe not just metals)? Heat food like a microwave oven, or freeze it? Nuclear fission, probably not. Nuclear fusion, surely not.

Hi! I'm a fan of your books (both Five Gods and Vorkosigan) and heard you were on a panel about The Untamed! I was wondering if you have watched or are interested in the show Nirvana in Fire, a court intrigue drama that is considered one of the best Chinese TV shows ever? My wife and I keep thinking of some similarities to Vorkosigan due to a physically disabled hero who keeps an intrigue plot moving in creative ways.

Des is keeping Penric young(ish) but I'm assuming that while she might be able to slow his aging and keep him healthy, she would not be able to extend him past the assumed human maximum of 125. In the end it still feels like it would be hard on him to outlive everyone important in his life except Des. How do you imagine she will handle his feelings of loss and possible depression? And how will she handle losing him?
