Like many readers, I have my genre preferences. As an entrenched Vorkosigan fan, I've not found as much attraction to fantasy. Year after year I see questions to you in the vein of "are you going to write more Vorkosigan books?" to which your boilerplate response is "Nothing is planned at this time." So, on behalf of my brothers and sisters of the Vorkosigan Community, can you PLEASE consider writing more? Please?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, nothing is planned at this time. It's the most honest answer I can give, apart from "No." Which would depress people unnecessarily, and beside might turn out not to be true if some random neuron fires in the unforeseen future and presents me with something that has to be a VK story and nothing else. (One hasn't fired yet.)
But I'm glad what I wrote in the past is still finding love in the present! (Or the future, from my point of view.)

My mother and I share a love of your books. I have all of your Penric novellas in ebook, but she only reads print. I would love to give her the novellas for her 80th bday, but Penric's Demon is not in print...so I can't even get her started. Do you know if it is going to be back in print any time soon? I have searched online and can only find one used copy for $190...which is a little out of my price range :)

I was reading a thread (https://bit.ly/3FKJuMs) on how it was once considered prestigious for women in China to spend their entire lives - or as much time as possible - in decorated, raised canopy beds, and instantly thought back to float-chairs. The described attitude towards them especially seemed similar, as did one of the stories about the practice related in the post. Was this tradition an inspiration?
