I just listened to the Curse of Chalion three successive times. Must be my age and lack of health, but I found him and his story to be profound. In these times where honor and truth seem so passé. I loved how he turned away from seeking glory and found such reverence for kindness. I dare not hope, but if your wonderful genius meets another such character, it would be a great gift. What do you think?

I'm glad you are enjoying my work!
Well, no two characters can or even should be alike, so I can't promise you another Caz. If you haven't tried the Penric novellas yet, they might work for you as well, if differently, as Penric starts out as a much more callow youth, who is not even now as old as Caz was when his story began. (Start with the e-novella "Penric's Demon" or the Baen collection Penric's Progress.)

As someone who loves physical books, but who missed the limited-edition Penric publication (and who prefers paperbacks whenever possible anyway-- they fit better when being carried everywhere) are we ever likely to see a collected set of the Penric novellas? (And will there be more? I'll admit, they're getting more and more "but what happens next?" as they continue. ;) Not that I'm complaining, Pen & Des rock.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
First, thank you for all you've written, especially the Vorkosigan Saga; Aral and Jole and Cordelia's relationship meant a lot to me; I've been in a similar position to Jole's re: Aral (age, power, love), and "but he's ooold! it's immoral! how dare?" But re: the Betan herms. I know they're not intersex, but I am, and reading them meant a lot to me. I'd been wondering if there was any early Moravian influence there?
