I was browsing the Baen ebook site and came across this: https://www.baen.com/penrics-travels-earc.html It shows a pub date of 5/5/2020, which of course is more than a month away. I have all these already, of course, but do you have any info on this? Good cover art, too, btw.

Well, Penric's Travels is a hardcover collection/reprint of my original Penric & Desdemona e-novellas "Penric's Mission, "Mira's Last Dance", and "The Prisoner of Limnos". Following, of course, from January's Penric's Progress, which collected the first three novellas in the series chronologically. I'm very pleased with the art and design for both volumes.
I suspect book distribution, along with everything else, is going to be quite disrupted for a time, which may affect the volume's immediate availability with respect to its hoped-for release date, but books don't spoil. Folks should be able to obtain it through normal bookselling channels in due course.

I'm rereading the Penric stories yet again, enjoyment undiminished, and it seems to me that Nikys has become a bit of an author's problem. Would you agree? Up to "The prisoner of Limnos" she was a full part of the story, but then her status changed, and the problem is what to do with her now. Although there's still plenty of room for more stories about Penric before he met her.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
For people starting to follow your work in the 80s, would they have been able to read Aftermaths in the Far Frontiers publication before Shards of Honor was officially published? I'm about to dive into your work and am entertaining the idea of starting with Aftermaths, but only if the above is true.

I run a book club on reddit where we read a different book of yours every month. This month we are reading your short stories collected in the anthologies Proto Zoa and Dreamweaver's Dilemma (DD). It's just been pointed out to me that there isn't an eBook version of the DD anthology, which means eBook readers have no way to read the story "The Adventure of the Lady on the Embankment". Can you help in any way?
