Your books are my all-time favourites. My to go book whenever I am sad or sick is A Civil Campaign. But I love all the others, too. Penrik, Sharing knife,... Will there by any more? I would love to hear how Miles copes with his children, who will probably be as brilliant and maybe as hyperactive as he is. Or maybe about some of the secondary characters? Byerly, Elli, ...

Glad you have enjoyed my work!
I have no idea when, or if, there will be anything more, or what it would look like should it get here. I can say there is nothing in progress or in the pipeline right at the moment (July 2023.)
I am, actually, not the same writer or person who wrote those books back in the 80s and 90s; they say that in 20 years, even your bones replace themselves. So writing "more of the same" would be as much of a stretch as trying to write a pastiche of another writer. (Or, more weirdly, trying to write my own fanfiction. Though that notion may be too self-limiting.) Though I'm immensely thankful those books have lasted till now, and are still finding new readers.

Hi Lois! I know you're a Star Trek fan from WAY BACK! I am too. I watched the first episode as it originally aired, with my big brother. So have you watched Star Trek Discovery? I just watched the first episode of Season 3 last night and Michael's reaction to the truth drug sure reminded me of Miles's reaction to the fast-penta given by Galen. I was wondering what you thought of it. Thanks

I read somewhere that your father was a prominent engineer; did his work influence the engineering-technical aspects of your writing? I'm thinking of the Habitat reconfiguration in Falling Free, the bubble-car system on Komarr, the soletta disaster, and Cordelia and Ekaterin's discussion of city planning for Sergyar.
